mankind. Huck is always on the run from people. In the beginning we see him
living a prim and proper life with the widow. He is then abducted by his
father, and for a time is relieved to get out of the moral trappings of the
town, and live sloppily, doing whatever he wanted to do. "It was kind of
lazy and jolly, laying off comfortable all day." (24) After some time, and
being unable to endure the abuse of his father, he runs away. Huck is as
dissatisfied by one extreme as he is by the next. Huck chooses not to take

moral decision making throughout the book as much as po .....

with Ralph. Ralph becomes incredibly jealous when he does not get elected
leader and picks on Piggy because he didn't get what he wanted. Piggy is
the brainiest kid on the island. He does most of the thinking for the
group but is blind as a bat without his glasses. Piggy unlike Simon will

pay for all of their bills. This is not the life that Tom envisioned for himself. "Listen! You think I'm crazy about the warehouse?. . .

I'd rather somebody picked up a crowbar and battered out by brains- than go back mornings. . .

As I Lay Dying: Styles Used By William Faulkner
Words: 734 / Pages: 3 .... Jewel's purchase of his horse. This is a strong clue that Jewel is
not Anse's son, since Anse is extremely lazy and would never work as hard
as Jewel did for a horse. We also see the tension between Anse and Jewel.
We see the lack of respect Jewel has for Anse. It is rather ironic when
Anse says "He's just lazy, trying me" (p. 129) Since Jewel has been working
really hard, and it is Anse who is lazy. Furthering on Jewel and Anse's
relationship, I feel that it is fairly evident that Jewel knows that Anse
is not his father. This is illustrated in the following section on page
136: "Jewel looked at Pa, his eyes paler than ever. 'He won't never ea .....

Words: 579 / Pages: 3 .... beliefs strongly enforced the idea that Hester would
wear the Scarlet Letter, so she did. It constantly forced the tought of the sin
she had commited and would haunt her for good. "I have thought have death," said
she, - "have wished for it, - would even have prayed for it, were it fit that
such as I should pray for anything."

Words: 413 / Pages: 2 .... to hear the boy yell? How could this be
possible? The old man does not have that good of hearing. Also, at that same
time, the train was going by his house. This train is very loud. How could an
old man with poor hearing hear this? . This old man is not a believable
witness to the murder of this man. You can't believe what he said. The train
was just too loud for him to possibly hear the yells of the boy.
After leaving his house, the boy went to see a movie to get away from
all of this. He was under total stress. I am sure he did not care to look at
the title of the movie. He probably just wanted in to get away. This way his
mind .....

Merchant Of Venice 2
Words: 1577 / Pages: 6 .... filled with venomous malice; a picture of callous, unmitigated villainy, deaf to every appeal of humanity. Shylock is the antagonist counterpart to the naive, essentially good Antonio, the protagonist, who must defend himself against the devil Shylock. The evil he represents is one of the reasons Shakespeare chose to illustrate Shylock as a Jew. According to many historians, Jews of his time were seen as the children of the Devil, the crucifiers of Christ and stubborn rejectors of God's wisdom and Christianity. However, when Shakespeare created Shylock, he did not introduce him into the play as a purely flat character, consumed only with the .....
