reliable and more personal than e-mail. Another good argument the author
makes is about the claims that computers make your life simpler and easier.
He says that a computer can make certain tasks simpler and easier to do if
you know how to use a computer and use the specific program needed to
complete the specific task. If you do not know how to use a computer or are
just learning how to use one, performing new tasks can be very difficult

The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn: Superstitutions
Words: 913 / Pages: 4 .... it originated down south because I am from up North and I
have never heard any one speak of those superstitions. Huck believes in
these probably because he grew up with them and they were always taught to
him and he is so ignorant he does not know better.
One morning Huck turned over the salt-cellar at breakfast. He went
to throw the salt- cellar over his left shoulder to cancel the bad luck,
but Miss Watson stopped him. All day he wondered when something would fall
on him and what it would be. This all implies that Huck thinks something
is going to fall on him, because of his accident. I have heard about bad
luck from spilling salt so I think t .....

Candide
Words: 1189 / Pages: 5 .... the world full of natural disasters and brutality. Voltaire also used contrast in the personalities of the characters to convey the message that Leibniz's philosophy should not be dealt with any seriousness. Leibniz, sometimes regarded as a Stoic or Fatalist because his philosophies were based on the idea that everything in the world was determined by fate, theorized that God, having the ability to pick from an infinite number of worlds, chose this world, "the best of all possible worlds." Although Voltaire chose that simple quality of Leibniz's philosophy to satirize, Leibniz meant a little more than just that. Even though his philosophy stated .....

Faulkner's "The Unvanquished"
Words: 436 / Pages: 2 .... into public office soon after is a strong example of
this.
There were not many pragmatists in the novel. By definition, a
pragmatist is one who believes that the meaning of conceptions is to be sought
in their practical bearings, that the function of thought is to guide action,
and that truth is preminently to be tested by the practical consequences of
belief. Bayard Sartoris was a pragmatist. He 'let his conscience be his guide'.
Telling his father about Drusilla's attempt to seduce him and refusing to avenge
his father's death are two good examples of this. In the beginning of the novel,
Bayard is shown to be simple minded, but as time passes on .....

Words: 1857 / Pages: 7 .... in the play. He doesn't realize it, but he is in a play of his own. Likewise, as with the other characters, what happens to him is far more interesting than the sort of character he is. I.Demetrius' unwelcome deceit and shrewdness and what is discovered A. Since Demetrius only has two lines throughout the entire first act, it shows that he can't stand up for himself, likewise, this lack of speech displays his lack of self-confidence and image: Relent, sweet Hermia, and, Lysander, yield Thy crazed title to my certain right. (Demetrius, 1.1.93-94) Demetrius believes that since he has Egeus' approval, that Hermia should relinquish to him and stat .....

Words: 503 / Pages: 2 .... she was
married and found someone else. Another perhaps less important but very
noticeable example is his appearance. He didn't seem to care what people really
thought about him or the way he was dressed, and remained very calm and relaxed,
maybe even carefree, most of the time he was in court. This also gives Sydney
Carton an immature appearance in the novel.
At the beginning of the story and a large part of the novel, Sydney
Carton is shown to be a very arrogant, frustrated man with a drinking problem.
Several times in the novel he indulged in his drinking to the point of becoming
drunk or close to it. Many times that he is seen, he i .....

Hester Prynne 2
Words: 1060 / Pages: 4 .... They seek to punish those, like Hester, who break the laws of Puritan society but at the same time they too violate their own laws.

thoughts while he observes Russian prisoners of war (Chapters 3, 8, 9) to show
that no ordinary people benefit from a war. No matter what side a man is on, he
is killing other men just like himself, people with whom he might even be
friends at another time.
But Remarque doesn't just tell us war is horrible. He also shows us that
war is terrible beyond anything we could imagine. All our senses are assaulted:
we see newly dead soldiers and long-dead corpses tossed up together in a
cemetery (Chapter 4); we hear the unearthly screaming of the wounded horses
(Chapter 4); we see and smell three layers of bodies, swelling up and belching
gases .....
