.... he must communicate his feelings to Pip about his own actions and tell Pip what he needs to know. When Pip tells lies to Joe, Mrs. Joe, and Uncle Pumblechook about Miss Havisham and reveals this fact to Joe, Joe becomes upset with Pip. “‘Terrible?’ cried Joe. ‘Awful! What possessed you?’�(99) Joe can not believe what he is hearing and takes the right course of action by making Pip really think about what he has done. A child like Pip does not see the consequences of his actions until he really thinks about the problems he has caused. Joe blatantly expresses his feelings to Pip and Pip becomes ashamed of his actions. Joe, however, did .....

.... literature like model-T's on an assembly line, the so-called "Beat Generation," particularly Jack Kerouac from Lowell, Massachusetts, changed America's interpretation of literature altogether. The writings of Jack Kerouac voice the desire of an era still clinging to the proverbial values of Middle America, and that is why Kerouac's works continue to enthrall the masses at large. On the Road exemplifies Kerouac's search for "IT," and the road is Sal Paradise's single guide; however, Sal's escapades with Dean Moriarty are most certainly energetic spurts of motivation and pure insanity. On the Road is the charismatic adventure of two men, hung .....

.... “in whom was the mania of an evil nature, not engendered by vicious training or corrupting books or licentious living but born with him and innate, in short ‘a depravity according to nature.’� These two people who are clearly on opposite sides of the spectrum contrast one another in a plethora of ways. Where Billy is sweet, John is bitter. Where Billy is naïve, John is knowledgeable. Where Billy is content, John is jealous. Lastly, where Billy is good, John is bad. The ugliness that results in the death of both men portrays the triumph of sinister forces over the meek. John Claggart, who is a powerful and feared man aboard Bellipotent, las .....

.... finds Daisy in her hotel room, "groping around in the waste-basket she had with her on the bed and pull[ing] out [a] string of pearls. "Take 'em down-stairs and give 'em back.... Tell 'em all Daisy's change' her mine... She began to cry - she cried and cried... we locked the door and got her into a cold bath." (Fitzgerald 77) Money seems to be one of the very top priorities in her life, and everyone that she surrounds herself with, including her daughter, seem to accept this as mere fact with her. She lives in one of the most elite neighborhoods in the state, in one of the most elegant houses described in the book, and intends very much for .....

.... mother boasts about Waverly's mastery of the game of chess. Throughout all of the Jing-Mei Woo stories June has to recall all of the memories of what her mother had told her. She remembers how her mother left her babies during the war. June's mother felt that since she had failed as a mother to her first babies she had failed as a person. When she made June take piano lessons June thought that she was trying to make her become a child prodigy like Waverly, but her mother did this because she knew it would benefit June for the rest of her life. Because of the death of her mother, June was forced to take the place of her mother in more than jus .....

.... with Puritanical mores, Hawthorne not only incorporates the new philosophy into his writing, he gives his readers the chance to evaluate for themselves the possibilities of other beliefs. What seems most imteresting in Hawthorne’s texts is the wrestling between two belief systems. On the one hand, Puritanism bestows doctrine which valued the greater moral good of the community over an individual’s well-being. In this sense, the community/society remains the central voice over any individual’s thoughts and/or feelings. Puritans believe that humans are born sinners, enslaved by evil, and therefore, predestined in the eyes of God. God is t .....

.... is allowed in the world which Huxley creates. At the first sign of unhappiness, Soma is prescribed. Emotions of all types are strictly controlled to provide stability and predictability within the population. Another of the panaceas for social ills is the belief that everyone would enjoy his or her work because he or she was "made" or trained for it when young. Consequently, from birth, everyone in Brave New World is slotted to belong to a specific social and intellectual strata. In conjunction with this idea, all births are completely planned and monitored. There are different classes of people with different intelligence and different "c .....

.... when the wish is made. The paw is clearly an omen, a bad omen. For instance, the wish of the original owner was for death. This clearly points out that the other two wishes may have caused unhappiness. Also Sergeant Morris says; “I warn you of the consequences.� Clearly here, however innocent the wish, Morris knows that it will end badly. “Don’t blame me for what happens.� The major coincidence centres around the two hundred pounds. “How could £200 hurt you?� says Mrs White ironically, she will find out! There are two real climaxes in the story – one is how they get the two hundred pounds (and the fact that Herbert’s death is a .....

.... beauty is goodness. Being neglected by those who are responsible for her leaves her, no choice but to turn to society’s values for guidance for who she is and what she should be. When turns to society for identification she finds that they judge her from the outside only. “She looked at . She saw the dirty torn dress, the plaits had come undone, the muddy shoes with the wad of gum peeping out from between the cheap soles……Eyes that questioned nothing and asked everything� (p80) Thus she thinks it is only the outside that counts. She thought that if she were able to change the colour of her eyes to blue, that being a symbol of beauty i .....

.... does not approve of this proposed encounter. His later decision to introduce them supports the idea that Jake is unconditionally devoted to Brett, and her happiness. The introduction was a very strange one. It was not as if Jake went out of his way for it to happen. It was much more the will of Brett. She raved on and on about Romero and insisted to Jake that they go and find him. Jake did not fight her on this issue, but he certainly did not provoke it. Jake was more of a stooge for Brett. She would have had her way even if Jake had not helped her. She uses her feminine charm, and there is, little that Jake can say. At one point she says “Oh, d .....
