.... mature things. Jem's beliefs change profoundly too. He used to believe in the court system, something he had read about and was taught about by his father, Atticus. But after the court convicts Tom Robinson of rape when Atticus had clearly proven that Tom could not have done it Jem sees his first real glance of corruption in the world. It upsets him as well as making him see and believe in evils in the world, such as racism. His beliefs in why Boo Radley stayed in the house all the time changed too. When he was young he thought Boo was just crazy and that's why he stayed in the house. But he comes to believe that Boo stays in the house because he do .....

.... not important. I am not going out and be immoral or commit crimes because I don't believe in God. I don't even think about it. It's just that I get tired of Him getting credit for all the things the human race achieves through its own stubborn effort. There simply is no blasted God-there is only man and it is he who makes miracles!" After Beneatha had finished her argument, Lena slapped her across her face and made Beneatha say, "In my mother's house there is still God". Lena stressed out her points that she will not tolerate any ideas like that in her house, or as long as she's around. Black families have a huge sense of pride of where they come fr .....

.... as soon as he could. Agassiz handed him a huge jar with a specimen of a fish, told him how to care for the specimen,then sat him down at a table. Samuel sat at the table and looked at the fish just as the Professor had instructed him. After ten minutes he saw all that could be seen of the fish. Hours pasted, with no sign of the Professor. Samuel moved the fish closer to him this time, feeling the fish with his hands, turning it is he was able to see every angle of the specimen. This inabled him to take in the whole fish, seeing more then the first time that he looked. Samuel draw the fish, and saw more things about the fish that he missed time .....

.... educated like every Chinese woman used to be: To be obedient, to honor one's parents, one's husband and to try to please him and his family. Ying-Ying was not expected to have her own will and make her own way through life. The result of this education was a disaster. She was married to a bad man who left her after a short time to follow other women. Her love for him turned to hate, and she killed her unborn baby. This act gave her remorse for all her life since she considered it a murder. Tortured by this incident, she had a mental breakdown, for a period of time, when her second son -- with her second husband, St. Clair -- died at birth. She saw it .....

.... of her forehead..." (94), was the first description that the author gave describing how old she really was. This brings me back to what kind of society did Phoenix Jackson live in, were there no other people that would make this long journey for this old lady or was there anybody at all. Maybe she was to shy to ask for help or she had to strong of a will and is "going to bend over backwards" for her grandson and will do whatever it takes to make sure that her grandson is healthy until she can not any longer. Another thing is the doctors and nurses know about the condition of her grandson and did nothing to help other than give her some medicine .....

.... unless he touches it. Doodle then said that he was not going to touch it, and his brother told him that he will leave him by himself unless he touches it. Doodle's next remark is, "Don't leave me Brother." That shows how Doodle loved his brother, and that he did not want to be separated from him. (By the way, Doodle does touch the casket). Another example is at the end of the story when Doodle and his brother were running to the house during a thunderstorm. Doodle's brother was far ahead and just let his brother behind like he did not care about him. Doodle's brother then hears Doodle scream, "Brother, Brother, don't leave me! Don't leave me!" .....

.... of brainwashing. The truth is that today people are being brainwashed constantly and some times they don't even know it. For example people are always being brainwashed into buying a certain product by advertisements on the televisions or by subliminal messages. Winston was brainwashed into conforming to the normal society by loving Big Brother. The brainwashing in the book might be a little exaggerated but it is still the same concept. Yet another example is how people are tagged with numbers. People today are identified by a social security number same as in 1984. Many of Orwells predictions became true but many didn't. Despite t .....

.... strange young man before he returns to his brothers. Although they exchange looks at each other, he runs off into the night without a word spoken between them. This is our first glimpse of Tess, and even before we learn more about her, we know that her family is not well off and that her father seems to be a bit of a drunk. Next, she is, to a degree, railroaded into going to claim kinship to the d'Urbervilles. "Å’Well, as I killed the horse, mother,' she said mournfully, Å’I suppose I ought to do something. I don't mind going and seeing her, but you must leave it to me about .....

.... to document a period of time Edmund would be writing in the methodical and scientific style of his father, which then would mirror the lifestyle in which he is forced to live. Secondly, Edmund wants the reader to see his father as he did, with honor, awe, resentment and even shame. Edmund does this quietly, he does not shout his shame, he merely reiterates it as a anecdote of a story “...his very absence of imagination aided him in his work. (113)� . Finally, Edmund, being able to portray this book as a portrait of someone other than himself, is a chance to humble himself, no matter what he says about the father, to the reader. All of th .....

.... realizes he has only one chance to successfully build a fire or face the harsh realities of the Yukon at one-hundred nine degrees below freezing. Falling snow from a tree blots out the fire and the character realizes "he had just heard his own sentence of death." Jack London introduces death to the reader in this scene. The man realizes "a second fire must be built without fail." The man's mind begins to run wild with thoughts of insecurity and death when the second fire fails. He recollects the story of a man who kills a steer to stay warm and envisions himself killing his dog and crawling into the carcass to warm up so he can build a fire .....
