.... lightly to this thought of death. The Albatross, as a representative of nature, means nothing to the Mariner. These thoughts are quickly changed, though, as Nature begins to start the penance leading towards forgiveness - "Water, water, everywhere nor any drop to drink." When "the mariner begins to find his salvation when he begins to look on the 'slimy things' as creatures of strange beauty" (Fraser 203), he understands the Albatross was a symbol of nature and he realized what he had done wrong. The mariner is forgiven after sufficient penance - "We could not speak" - is performed by Nature. Nature shows us more strength as we realize that people o .....

.... sin that was committed; it effected the whole community. The scarlet letter had one basic meaning, "adultery," but to the characters of Hester and Dimmesdale it was a constant reminder of the sin; and to Pearl it was a symbol of curiosity. Obviously, the scarlet letter had the largest impact on Hester, it was a constant reminder of the sin she committed. The "A" she must wear on her bosom completely humiliates her in front of everyone she meets, she begins to even hide behind it, trying to conceal her identity. Hawthorne is referring to Hester in the quote, "The unhappy culprit sustained herself as best a woman might, under the heavy weight of a .....

.... a sharecropper, Ab and his family had to share half or two-thirds of the harvest with the landowner and out of their share pay for the necessities of life. As a result of this status, Ab and his family know from the start what the future will hold -- hard work for their landlord and mere survival for them. No hope for advancement prevails throughout the story. Sarty, his brother and the twin sisters have no access to education, as they must spend their time working in the fields or at home performing familial duties. Nutrition is lacking "He could smell the coffee from the room where they would presently eat the cold food remaining from the mid-a .....

.... However, when they gave him papers to sign, which stated his confession and the names of people who are accused of witchcraft, it became important to him that he does not lie. If he had signed the papers, he would have blackened the names of the people who are innocent. He believed that he shouldn't have to blacken the names of the accused people in order to keep his life. Through this sacrifice, he has balanced all the sins he has made. Therefore, he has redeemed himself and kept his soul. Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale sacrificed his reputation in order to gain inner peace. Dimmesdale has been tortured by himself as well as Chillingwo .....

.... which he would like to have salt on. This part of the story tells of a cold and harsh sea, that is, one that has value and mystery as well as death and danger. It has commercial value as well as the population of life in it. It is dark and treacherous though, and every day there is a challenge. A similar story tells about a tidal pool with life called `Cannery Road'. This part of the story has to deal with figures of Christ. It mainly deals with Santiago as being a figure of Christ and other characters as props, that is, characters which carry out the form of biblical themes. On the day before he leaves when he wakes up, Manol .....

.... fault but the ultimate sin is committed by a man nicknamed the "misfit" in the end. This paper explains the character of the grandmother, and irony, symbolism and foreshadowing displayed by the author, Flannery O'Connor. There are several sitruational ironies dispersed in the story. At the begininning, the grandmother is opposed to go to Florida on vacation, but when the stime arrives to depart, she is the first passenger seated in the car. Another example is the entire time she is trying to change Bailey's mind, she used a prison escape as the primary reason not to proceed to Florida, and ironically, they confront the fugitives in a strange twit .....

.... have different attributes that make them different from other people, but most of them find a way around them. I think that Cyrano shouldn't have let his nose interfere with what he really wanted in his life. Another scene that helps out with the similarities of the two titles is C.D.'s and Cyrano's living conditions. Cyrano lived with the soldiers in the quarters, and had very little spending money. C.D. lived with the Firemen most of the time, he also as a fireman did not make that much money. The contrast of the living styles helps out with the reader and viewers point of views because most people who are "ugly" can still do very well in life .....

.... making sure that all your needs are satisfied. In this perfect civilization, the people are isolated from one another, divided into five different classes. The classes range from the Alphas, the Betas, the Gammas, the Deltas and finally, the Epsilons. The classes are ranked according to their physical appearance and mental capacity. During the Director of Hatcheries and Conditioning’s speech to his students he tell them how by depriving certain embryos of oxygen will affect which class they belong to. “The lower the cast, the shorter the oxygen�(Huxley, p.9). It seems unfair that before you are born, your future is already written out for .....

.... back a shell of a man. Not only did he fail in finding himself, he lost nearly everything he had. His ideals were shattered, his genitals left on a battlefield in Europe with his ability to be subjective and involve himself emotionally with the world around him. His life (as viewed in his narrative) is simply moving from one place to the next, with no deep thought about the people he meets. Merely a simple statement of the facts. Objectivity as a whole depends upon distancing a person from the events and simply watching with a clinical disattachment as Jake did. And as Jake is the narrator of The Sun Also Rises, this creates a definite lack .....
