myth that the Klan was formed to “save the South” from Scalawags,
Carpetbaggers and Negroes. This was the view held widely throughout the
South and took root more so as it was romantically depicted in Southern
writers publications and the ground breaking movie “The Birth of a

Wise Blood: Whose Deformity Is The Most Serious
Words: 1050 / Pages: 4 .... by two distinct elements:
his instincts and his desire to be accepted into civilization. These two
factors attribute most to his defects. His intuition causes him to believe
that his blood is wise and can lead his life. By bestowing his trust in
his blood, he often takes things too literally. For instance, Hazel Motes
preaches that his religion desperately needs a new Jesus, and Enoch,
perceiving this Jesus to be an actual being, follows his instincts and
brings Hazel a three-foot shrunken man whom he honestly believes to be the
savior. Before actually donating the messiah to Hazel, Enoch's blood
directs him to clean his room in order to house J .....

is what is truly important. He mentions that nature is peaceful and he need
not worry about either his morality or conscience but is allowed to ponder
these personal discrepancies.
Holden Caulfield, however, has a much more complex yet equally important
struggle. His struggle is of his own hypocri .....

written it… But I rubbed it [The ‘fuck you' written on the wall] out
anyway." Another example is on page two hundred and eight, "'So shut up.'

terrible. God, it sounded terrible. It sounded worse than swearing." There
is one more outstanding quotation from the novel which is found on page two
hundred and thirteen. "I felt so damn happy all of a sudden, the way old
Phoebe was going around and around [the carousel]." All these examples
clearly show that Holden appreciated "childhood innocence" to a great
extent. Yet Holden acts the opposite. .....

Morrison's Jazz: Characters' Actions
Words: 1760 / Pages: 7 .... but this also is abolished when the extenuating circumstances
of his history are described. Dorcas plays the role of the piteous,
innocent woman who is stuck in the middle of this crisis at the beginning,

Words: 1342 / Pages: 5 .... But how can this be the case. Is one school given more money than another? Funds for public schools come from property taxes. In wealthy communities where property values are generally higher more money is allocated, than in a poor communities with lower property values.
