"Philgyas in extreme of misery cries loud through the gloom appeals warning to all mankind: Be warned, learn righteousness; and learn to scorn no god (pg. 165-66)." "All have dared a monstrous sin and achieved the sin they dared. Even had I .....

.... he always looked good and got all the girls but in fact he was a slob. His razor that made him look so good was "rusty as hell and full on lather and hair and crap." This proves that he is a slob to "never clean it or anything." If you think about it that's even worst than Old Ackley. At least Ackley knew that he had a problem, that he need to do something about his face; but Stradlater thought that he was a great guy. He actually thought that there was nothing wrong with never washing his razor. I think that what mad, Holden so made Stradlater was perpetrating in other word being "phony" every time he went out all GQ after using that filthy razor. A .....

.... were molded, giving the reader a better sense of their "true" selves, since later in the book the daughters view their mothers in a different and unflattering light.

For many years, the mothers did not tell their daughters their stories until they were sure that their wayward offspring would listen, and by th .....

.... "This was the culture from which I sprang. This was the terror from which I fled."

.... simple town, for a good reason-- which was to have a married couple, Pelayo and Elisenda, profit and become wealthy as a result of his surreal presence. Garcia Marquez's use of both the earthly and the divine are quite interesting, because he uses the angel to convey both a spiritual presence as well as an earthly desire to live well in the real world, which in turn ultimately enriches the main characters in the story, Pelayo and Elisenda. The author does not portray the divine as one might think. When a person thinks of an angel they think of a very elegant, beautiful figure usually clothed in white with a spiritual presence. Garcia does not po .....

.... The strong beliefs that are shared in these stories are part of what makes them classics. However, some of the ideas that are portrayed in these works aren't ideas readers should assume to be true or good. The first of these is the theory that husbands will most likely treat their wives as inferiors after they are married. In A Doll's House, Torvald is blatantly condescending to Nora. He calls her his ³little squirrel² or ³little skylark² and requires her to ³do tricks² to please him. In addition, he treats her like a child, a ³feather head² who can't understand anything important. In The Awakening, Leonce is more subtle in his .....
