.... thinking that "if he sang the proper songs, if he cared for the land faithfully, it would not forsake him now..."(82) Chee is trying to grow food and he thinks that if he cares for the land and respects it that the earth would in turn make the food grow well. Another way to show this is how Chee thought that if he "Take care of the land and it will take care of you."(81) Chee cared and respected the land and in turn the land gave him food for which he would to barter back Little One from Old Man Fat. Chee treats the land as an equal. "he felt so strongly that just now this was something between himself and the land."(82) Chee treats the land as an equ .....

.... of Americans at that time really well. In his poem "War Is Kind" he shows us how tired Americans were of war. This poem is very strong and emotional because he gives us mental images of how horrible war is. In this piece Crane keeps repeated "war is kind". These three words really show how he and other Americans felt about war. He is not saying that war is good. He is saying this in a sarcastic way. For example, he talks about how peoples loved ones are dying. And then later he says "Do not weep. War is Kind." In this poem he really shows us that Americans were really tired of war. In the "Letter to His Son" Robert E. Lee also depicts .....

.... could hold his liquor or contain himself from easy women during this time. Henry finally disciplined himself near the end of his stay at the Ospidale Maggoire.

If he is not asleep, he can avoid having to deal with it. Henry also is accompanied by Catherine during nights at the Ospidale Maggoire. To Henry there "was almost no difference in the night except that is was an even better time" with Catherine. Catherine, who is already a code hero, has values which transcend onto Henry at the Hospi .....

.... mistake, eating from the tree of knowledge, which forced them out of Paradise. It will take a further reading of the poem to learn that the crime is simply the cutting of a lock of hair, and not a monumental fall from God’s graces. Pope goes on to pose the questions, “Say what strange motive, Goddess! Could compel/a well-bred Lord to assault a gentle Belle? / O say what stanger cause, yet unexplored, /could make a gentle Belle reject a Lord?” (Pope, ll. 7-10). This is an allusion to Adam’s rejection of Eve in Paradise Lost when he laments, “ ‘Out of my sight, thou serpent!’ ” and to Eve’s crim .....

.... last setting that was used was a calm summer night. This setting makes everything seem so peaceful, but in reality Richard Cory was killing himself. It is an ironic setting because we think just the opposite as we are reading the poem. The second way the author illustrates the theme is imagery. The fact that Richard Cory was viewed as quietly arrayed makes the reader think that he has no problems and that everyone wants to be like him. Also, the poem states that he is “richer than a king� so the audience gets the feeling that this is a happy man who is happy with his success in life. When on the other hand he wants to kill himself. Moreover, t .....

.... over the sense of brotherhood with man and reverence for God and sacrificed everything to its own mighty claims" (357). Upon leaving for his twenty-year journey, Brand becomes deranged in the eyes of the townsfolk. His peers see him as a man who has spent too long a time alone in front of the kiln. Stories arise; such as he "conversed with Satan himself in the lurid blaze of thus very kiln."(356) His search for self-gain leaves him detached from the world of mortals. steps into the world of gods, when he learns of the unpardonable sin, and yet he has not left the realm of man. He has eaten the forbidden fruit. He lives in a human world but cannot te .....

.... scene I am going to describe is at the end of chapter 3 of the book. It mostly involves Lennie, Curly and George, but Slim, Candy and Carlson were there too. The setting of this scene was in the bunkhouse in the ranch where all the workers slept and lived. Steinbeck described the bunkhouse being, " a long, rectangular building. Inside, the walls were whitewashed and the floor unpainted." Later he says, " Against the walls were eight bunks, five of them made up with blankets and the other three showing their burlap ticking." So far we get the idea that the bunkhouse was not the most beautiful place to live in, one of the only forms of entertainment .....

.... the conflicts on the battlefield, to the conflicts of the mind, to the final conflict before death, like real soldiers, the characters in the novel cannot avoid crises. Finally, Findley’s theme is that war is one horrible tragedy after another for all who are involved. Robert Ross could have been any soldier in the First World War by another name. He went through many of the same problems and was faced with many of the same dilemmas all soldiers went through in that time. Robert had to frequently deal with the death and mutilation of his friends and fellow soldiers. He also experienced the horrors on the battlefield, for example when “chlorine .....

.... period that Twain wrote about was his own, the middle 1800’s before the Civil War. He was able to see all the destruction firsthand that the people were doing to their lives. He was able to explain these life lessons that had to be learned by his readers in entertaining stories that had the ability to get the point across. During that time the people were basically divided into three groups, rich white folks, poor white folks, and black slaves and plantation workers. There were no respected Negro people in any of the communities throughout the South. They were mostly slaves serving and working for the white people. Twain showed mostly the n .....
