Race Relations With Huck Finn
Words: 1478 / Pages: 6 .... novel shows these classes really well. In the beginning of the novel, we see a little bit of the black class, and how they were treated. “Miss. Watson’s big nigger, named Jim, was setting in the kitchen door, we could see him pretty clear” (14). Jim, Miss. Watson’s run away slave in the story, is part of the black class. We see the sub ordinance that blacks were placed in America, because blacks were not allowed to be in the house, because they were uneducated, and had to be working in the fields.
Another example of the classes we put each other into is when Huck, the main character, and Jim were heading south. Jim and Hu .....

A Farewell To Arms - Love And
Words: 868 / Pages: 4 .... The Sun Also Rises, in which Hemingway's characters revert to role-playing in order to escape or retreat from their lives. The ability to create characters who play roles, he says, either to "maintain self-esteem" or to escape, is one Hemingway exploits extraordinarily well in A Farewell to Arms and therefore it "is his richest and most successful handling of human beings trying to come to terms with their vulnerability."

Words: 1613 / Pages: 6 .... this raised a hysteria in America causing many Americans that there were spies working for the country. In the end of this investigation the rumor was proven false and no spies turned up. The word “McCarthyism is the unfairly accusing other of disloyalty and subversion.” (DiBacco et all, R47) All this person did was just scare many Americans just like in the Salem Witch trials.

The Pardoner: Chaucer's Religions Diction
Words: 550 / Pages: 2 .... "a little cap, …bulging eyeballs," with a holy relic on his cap," stress the face of the Pardoner (703-704,705). Descriptions of the "holy relics" follow and show that he is actually a fraud. Drawing "more than the parson in a month or two" and singing "an Offertory" the best, reveals his greed and self-indulgence with money (724,730).
