A Rose For Emily
Words: 608 / Pages: 3 .... town. From the beginning Miss Emily was at odds with the entire town. Emily lived with her father throughout her entire adolescent life, and was never exposed to the real world. Miss Emily’s father selfishly kept her to himself, making it impossible for her to meet, let alone become friends with anyone in town. Miss Emily never experienced love with anyone but her father because he chased all of Miss Emily’s suitors away from their house when they came calling. When her father died, she was at a loss for what to do. She had no idea how to take care of things, like paying bills, etc., so in order to make the transition smooth for Miss .....

All Quiet On The Western Front
Words: 734 / Pages: 3 .... and after the war. He hoped to show the results of war on an entire generation; a loss of innocence in life which those who were once soldiers could never replace. Remarque's message came across very clearly. There were constant tragedies which forced Paul or the other soldiers to question war and become detached from civilian life. After viewing the death of a close friend and a recruit whom he had comforted earlier, Paul went home finding that war had isolated him from his family and his childhood. With the return to his unit he again felt the presence of belonging. Soldiers had become his family. The mental anguish was again vividly displayed af .....

Lord Of The Flies: A Symbolic Microcosm Of Society
Words: 1923 / Pages: 7 .... drive is emphasized,
purported by Freud to be the basic human need to be gratified. In much the
same way, Golding's portrayal of a hunt as a rape, with the boys ravenously
jumping atop the pig and brutalizing it, alludes to Freud's basis of the
pleasure drive in the libido, the term serving a double Lntendre in its
psychodynamic and physically sensual sense.
Jack's unwillingness to acknowledge the conch as the source of centrality
on the island and Ralph as the seat of power is consistent with the
portrayal of his particular self-importance. Freud also linked the id to
what he called the destructive drive, the aggressiveness of self-ruin.
Jack's an .....

Words: 804 / Pages: 3 .... renewed from the pale skies...” (pg.7). Ethan’s life was already going to be trapped, helpless, and doomed. He should have already known this because “all the dwellers in Starkfield, as in more notable communities, had had troubles enough of their own to make them comparatively indifferent to those of their neighbors...” (pg.11). Naturalism even played a huge part of Ethan’s life since he was young. First “his father got a kick, out haying, and went soft in the brain, and gave away money like Bible texts afore he died.” (pg.13). Then his “...mother got queer and dragged along for years as weak as a baby...” (pg.13). E .....

To Kill A Mockingbird: Courage
Words: 355 / Pages: 2 .... Atticus standing up against a
mob. The last example of courage was Arthur Radley fighting Bob Ewell and
saving the children.
In the novel we saw several example of moral courage. In my opinion
this is the best type of courage because it shows the character of person. The
first display of this courage was Mr. Cunnigham's constant payment of his debt
to Atticus; he had the courage to take something into this neighborhood. The
next display of moral courage was when Jem despite his misgivings constantly
went to Ms. Dubose's house and read to her. The next display of moral courage
was Atticus's decision to defend Tom Robinson in court and instead o .....

Lord Of The Flies - Character
Words: 1193 / Pages: 5 .... or ready to turn, to anger.” Jack’s eyes are always used in the novel to depict his emotions, as they are in the quote above. When the boys land on the island they are all wearing their school uniforms, but Jack and his choir are wearing cloaks and caps. Oddly enough, Jack is one of the only boys whose last name is learned. I think the author does this to make Jack stand out. He is a very important character because throughout this whole novel, Golding depicts this island and savagery to everyday life. Jack is the perfect character to play this role due to his temperament and power hungry acts. Jack is solely concerned with hunting, .....

Words: 1731 / Pages: 7 .... Mrs. Bentley] wisely, or presumptuously choose to accept only as tales and allegories" (Ross 146). For Mr. and Mrs. Bentley, the beliefs of the town are not in harmony with their own. The conflict that this causes is made all the more palpable by the fact that Mr. Bentley is Horizon's minister.
Religion is a system of beliefs which contextualizes difficult subjects such as death, pain and suffering. According to Jordan Peterson it is human tendency to model facts, value is placed on these facts and we systematically assess what each fact signifies.

Words: 945 / Pages: 4 .... of change. Early in the
novel you can see change is already taking place. "…in the past a man who
broke the peace was dragged on the ground throughout the village until he
died. But after a while this custom was stopped because it spoiled the
peace which it was meant to preserve." But traditions continued on,
