A Book Of Double Meanings
Words: 1297 / Pages: 5

.... the empress inside. Gulliver, instead of making his way across town to the ocean, squashing the people of Lilliput as he goes, he makes use of his urine to save the palace. While this vulgar episode was a display of bravery, it infuriated the emperor, causing revenge to be vowed on Gulliver. Rather than being happy that both the empress and the palace are not in ruin, the littleness of the government and the people in general is displayed in this act. Another display of the littleness is the fact that Gulliver is used as the Emperor's absolute weapon, but the emperor only uses him to conquer his world of two islands. This makes the emperor's am .....

The Double Life In The Importa
Words: 1338 / Pages: 5

.... opportunity to show opposite sides of their characters. They mock every custom of the society and challenge its values. This creates not only the comic effect of the play but also makes the audience think of the serious things of life. Oscar Wilde begins with a joke in the title that is not only a piece of frivolity. It concerns the problem of recognising and defining human identity. The use of earnest and Earnest is a pun, which makes the title not only more comic, but also leads to a paradox. The farce in The Importance of Being Earnest consists in the trifle that it is important not only to be earnest by nature but to have the name Earnest too. Jac .....

.... by themselves-go south or something"(82). Holden's questions of what the ducks do in the winter foreshadow Holden's own plans.

Words: 1094 / Pages: 4

.... makes constant references to various gods and goddesses, explaining their relation to whatever aspect of farming he is currently discussing, and continuing by illustrating the proper method of paying homage to these gods. The overall frame of mind held by Hesiod can be seen in lines 456 through 481. This passage begins with the work ethic held in such high esteem by Hesiod when he writes, "When ploughing-time arrives, make haste to plough."(pg. 73 l. 456) Constantly, Hesiod is making references to work ethic, describing idlers as men who will "wrestle with ruin all their days."(pg. 72 l. 407) The concept of idlers suffering at the hands of the gods .....

Words: 1475 / Pages: 6

.... life and elasticity to Mattie" (Wharton 60). Ethan is attracted to Mattie because she is the antithesis of Zeena. "While Mattie is young, happy, healthy, and beautiful like the summer, Zeena is seven years older than Ethan, bitter, ugly and sickly cold like the winter" (Lewis 310). Zeena's strong, dominating personality emasculates Ethan, while Mattie's feminine, effervescent youth makes Ethan feel like a "real man." Contrary to his characteristic passiveness, he defies Zeena in Mattie's defence, "You can't go, Matt! I won't let you! She's [Zeena's] always had her way, but I mean to have mine now -" (Wharton 123). To Ethan, Mattie is radiant and e .....

.... with Gatsby, and letting him use his imagination, so that in the end, the reader can decide if the is truly 'great'. Fitzgerald allows the reader to incorporate the story into their own past and past relationships, ultimately putting the reader in Gatsby's shoes and seeing what the reader would do in the same situation. It raises a great debate; should people live their lives yearning for something in the past? Is it acceptable to live one's whole life on a past experience or memory hoping to reach back in time and pull the past to the present. Is it healthy? In this case, Fitzgerald is saying no its not healthy. He says it ruins a per .....

.... Ponyboy was afraid to complain to Darry. Sodapop and Dary always took Ponyboy with them places. One of Soda’s friends Steve was always with them. He was Soda’s best friend.
