.... interacts with various members of his family. The way he talks about or to each gives you some idea of whether he thinks they are "phony" or normal. A few of his accounts make it more obvious than others to discover how he classifies each family member. From the very first page of the novel, Holden begins to refer to his parents as distant and generalizes both his father and mother frequently throughout his chronicle. One example is: "…my parents would have about two hemorrhages apiece if I told anything personal about them. They're quite touchy about anything like that, especially my father. They're nice and all – I'm not saying th .....

.... to America. Elliot finds it important before discussing the Modern artist's responsibility to tradition, to expose certain fallacies that many people hold concerning tradition. He found that most critics did not really use the word "Except in a phrase of censure…. If otherwise… with the implication…. Of some pleasing archaeological reconstruction" (1405). Critics were in effect using tradition only to describe something quaint and archaic. The problem with this view is that it creates the misconception among the general public that good poetry is not at all related to anything that has been done before, and it must instead be somethin .....

.... did this to Fortunato. Satan and Montresor are sneaky, insidious, and nefarious in their act towards Montressor and the world. This first characteristic that Montresor reveals in himself as Satan would is the characteristic of being sneaky. Montresor displays this in the cunning way he lures Fortunato into the catacombs to “taste� the Amontillado. This intrigued Fortunato’s senses because Montresor knew that Fortunato “prided himself in the connoisseurship of wine�. Montressor nonchalantly replies to Fortunato concerning the wine, “I have my doubts�. In other words, he blatantly blows Fortunato’s ego here by doubting h .....

.... number between 200 and 290 and a book on Hinduism would have a different number, but would also have a number between 200 and 290. As a result of his system, which is widely used in libraries still today, each book has its place making it “easy for the librarian and the user to understand� (Gale Research, 1). Like the Dewey Decimal System Maycomb also had its classification system. In the book, Jem confused the Dewey Decimal System with John Dewey’s philosophy of education. This is clear when Scout says, “What Jem called the Dewey Decimal System was school wide by the end of my first year, so I had no chance to compare it to any other teachin .....

.... understood [her]" and that he "never loved [her]." That, in my opinion was the truth. Nora Helmer was a delicate character. She had been pampered all of her life, by her father, and by Torvald. She really didn't have a care in the world. She didn't even have to care for the children; the maid would usually take care of that. In every sense of the word, she was your typical housewife. She never left the house, mostly because her husband was afraid of the way people "would talk." I do not know if but a few people knew about their marriage, and that was they way Torvald wanted it to be. It really wasn't her fault she was the way she was. It was mo .....

.... Death. On their journey, though, an old man leads them to a great deal of treasure. At this point, all three of the friends in the tale display a greed similar to the Pardoner's. The three friends decide that someone should bring bread and wine for a celebration. As the youngest of the friends leaves to go buy wine, the other two greedily plot to kill him so they can split the treasure only two ways. Even the youngest decides to "put it in his mind to buy poison / With which he might kill his two companions" (383, 384). The greed, which is evident in the character of the Pardoner, is also clearly seen in the tale. Another trait that is displayed .....

.... moment occurred when his daughter was seated in her high chair. He was watching her and he came to the realization that she could have been created only by design. The implication was inexorable: Design presupposed God. In his autobiography he urges his children to continue to look at the wonder of life that exists within the wonder of the universe with "reverence and awe". Chambers was led through his own reverence back to his Christian roots. He began working with Time magazine in 1939 and rose to the level of senior editor. Over a decade later he was brought to court on account of his past Communist connections. He identified former Stat .....

.... it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul." In this phrase Ishmael’s feelings sadness and depression in his soul, are lowering his self-esteem, showing his resentment for life, civilization, and everything that surrounds him. Ishmael’s resentment towards life its self brings about his feelings of not being alive. Melville uses the month of November to indicate these feelings of death and suicide. The month of November is known for being lifeless, a period in which some just wait for death to set in. In this quote Melville is strongly emphasizing Ishmael’s thoughts about death and suicide. "I find myself involuntarily pausing before coff .....
