Words: 1065 / Pages: 4

.... Huck Finn. Nevertheless, they attempt to make Huck into what they believe will be a better boy. Specifically, they attempt, as Huck says, to "sivilize" him.

Huck, who has never had to follow many rules in his life, finds the demands the women place upon him constraining and the life with them lonely.

The Stranger: Existentialism
Words: 545 / Pages: 2

.... two parts in The Stranger that helped me better understand existentialism the most. One part of the novel that helped me to understand existentialism better was when Meursault shot the Arab on the beach and how he handled the situation afterwards. The Arab had drawn his knife and held it up to Meursault, but this wasn't what bothered him, it was the light from the sun that shot off the Arabs knife, and the intense heat along with the salt from his sweat in his eyes that was bothering him. Meursault shot the Arab mainly because he was uncomfortable and not because he felt threatened, but in any case he made the decision to shoot him. In the next ch .....

Back in Kentucky she was proud that she made it through high school without becoming pregnant and having to take on that responsibility. When she leaves her home town she also wants to leave it all behind. It's is symbolized by her changing her name and leaving without second thoughts. I found it interesting that Kingsol .....


The Intentional Death Of Francis Macomber
Words: 1885 / Pages: 7

.... objective analysis of the story, the reader would see far more evidence supporting the theory of an intentional killing rather than an accidental one. The clues supporting the idea that Margaret killed Francis intentionally can best be seen when observing and studying the background information on both Francis Macomber, and Margaret herself. (Hemingway 1402). What is also important is that Margot and Francis have very different personalities. This is clearly seen when the narrator states, (Hemingway 1402). With this small amount of background information, the true motive for an intentional killing can be found. This can clearly be seen in the c .....

.... her controlled consciousness wanes and fades.” Consumed by the pain Ellen finds herself going back and forth from old age to womanhood and back again after the cycle is completed.

.... merely about men putting women in their places. Katherine is an assertive woman trying to cope with how she is expected to act in late sixteenth century society and abide by the unspoken rules. The play ends with her conformance to the norms of society but it isn't a wholehearted choice, it's in her actions but not in her mind. Katherine assumes the role of an obedient, polite wife but she still retains her innate assertiveness. Katherine's being tamed is not a matter of her being cured of her shrewishness but rather her having learned to get along in a man's world. In this play courtship and marriage aren't the result of love but rather an i .....


The Odyssey And Its Themes
Words: 709 / Pages: 3

.... first meet him. He is weeping because he pines for his family and home as stated in lines 327 and 328, “Yet it is true, each day I long for home, long for the sight of home.” As he plainly states, Odysseus greatly misses his home, and his tears show us just how much he misses it. In the duration of the story Odysseus has to make several sacrifices in order to get to the home he longs for so much. In Book 12, Circe foresees that Odysseus will have to let some of his men die. “The Ithacans set off. But Odysseus never reveals to them Circe’s last prophecy – that he will be the only survivor…” This shows how much .....
