.... life would have been easy, and the 'darkness of man's heart' would not have been conveyed to the reader. Jack shows 'the darkness' and if he and Ralph had just been friends, there would never have been an opportunity for Jack to show this darkness which lurked beneath the surface. Golding also uses the dead pilot conveniently against the boys - the way in which he is caught in the trees just in the right position to be caught by the wind and look like the beast and the way the wind picks up after Simon has let him down from the trees and carries him out to sea, so that the other boys cannot see that it wasn't a beast. The author uses the boy's f .....

.... her family. Darcy realized eventually that he was going to have to change. He tried to look at his behavior and analyze why he acted as he did. In the end, he fought his intense pride so that he and Elizabeth could be happy together. Prejudice was also an issue for Darcy in that he disliked Elizabeth in the beginning because of her low social status, poverty, and socially inept family. Darcy was forced to deal with his prejudice when he fell in love with Elizabeth. This was not easy for him to do but it was necessary. His snobbery was countered by his love for Elizabeth. In the end, he overcame his pride and gave in to his feelings by marrying her in .....

.... of Love discourages love, and the Ministry of Peace is actually quite violent. The final example of verbal Irony can be seen in the name of the leader of Oceania, "Big Brother." The concept of a big brother is one whom is older and wiser and helps the "littler siblings" -- this not the case with 1984's Big Brother. The Big Brother in this novel completely watches over every move a person makes keeping them controlled with fear. The next type of irony is Situation irony, which is when a character or a sequence of events appears to be headed one way, but it ends up as the opposite of what was thought. One example of this is Winston's g .....

.... other people that had to pay for Tom and Daisy's careless mistakes. Daisy also admitted that she was careless in a dialogue with Nick. "I am careful." "No, you're not" "Well, other people are," she said lightly. "What's that got to do with it?" "They'll keep out of my way," she insisted. "It takes two to make an accident." "Suppose you meet somebody just as careless as yourself." "I hope I never will," she answered. "I hate careless people."(63) She quickly responded to Nick that she doesn't need to be careful. Daisy implied that it is .....

.... surroundings and emphasis towards her endeavor. As Phoenix Jackson moves carefully, haltingly walks through the woods and fields on her way to town, she speaks slowly and boldly to herself, this highlights her assurance to herself and her persistence as she moves towards her objective. The gradual movement in the story stresses the woman’s tenacity and incredible effort towards an intent she sees fit for such a journey. Throughout the story, harsh weather and literal distance of her aim represent obstacles. However, some of the obstacles take more familiar faces, in the eyes of a white man and woman. Although the hunter shows her somewhat kindne .....

.... of his flight a group of fifty people gather around the building to witness this event. While waiting for his "flight" or jump a woman in a contralto voice begins to sing the words "O Sugarman done fly away/ Sugarman done gone/ Sugarman cut across the sky/ Sugarman gone home…"(6) This lady simply describes Robert Smith’s flight "home" which we later learn is really him committing suicide. Much later on in the book Milkman is listening to a group of children singing "O Solomon done fly away/ Solomon done gone/ Solomon cut across the sky/ Solomon gone home."(3) In this song Sugarman, or Robert Smith, is replaced by Solomon, or the .....

.... in each the house and the family, he makes the events in the book being read correspond to those going on in the house. The entire opening scene is steeped in blackness and melancholy.(Neilson, 197, Buranelli, 62) Another of Poe's writing techniques is anima. Anima is giving a character qualities of having an animal spirit. Madeline Usher is the anima figure in the story Poe's use of symbolism in his gothic stories is a guiding thread to his literary art. That he is not persistently a symbolist is one of his strengths, for it means that he only turns to symbolism when it has a distinct role to play. His symbolism generally .....

.... when many thousands of men have been carried off by hunger. If at the end of the famine the barns of the rich were searched. I dare say positively enough grain would be found in them to have saved the lives of all those who died from starvation and disease, if it had been divided equally among them. Nobody really need have suffered from a bad harvest at all. So easily might men get the necessities of life if that cursed money, which is supposed to provide access to them, were not in fact the chief barrier to our getting what we need to live. Even the rich, I'm sure, understand this. They must know that it's better to have enough of what we rea .....

.... supreme madness of the carnival they were attending. Knowing that Fortunato is drunk, he asks him to come and taste his pipe of Amontillado. Of course Fortunato could not refuse. Montresor takes him to his catacombs and leads him down to where the pipe is supposed to be. As they are walking, you notice more foreshadowing to the death of Fortunato when he say’s, “ the cough is a mere nothing; it will not kill me. I shall not die of a cough,� and Montresor replies, “ True – true,“ (11800). But unlike his name suggests, Fortunato is not so fortunate. He does not realize that he is walking towards his own death, and example of dramatic ir .....

.... looked up too for his honesty and trust, which makes Atticus a great character. The novel traces the life of Scout, her brother Jem and Atticus over many years. Harper Lee used great descriptors to try to show the values of the families in Maycomb. One of the story’s greatest lessons is that social justice is not always easy to achieve. It tells the story of one Tom Robinson. Tom is a black man in a racist town who is accused of a crime that he didn’t commit. Atticus believes and tries to show others that all people are created equal, at least under the law. Bob Ewell accused Tom of beating and raping his daughter and only the blac .....
