.... was tired of the oppressive nature of man, which kept her and her sisters from developing their minds. She felt that females back then should have the same rights as women have achieved through the Civil Rights Movement today. Her answer to this was "A Religious Retirement." It is Mary Astell's ideal place to end her intellectual suffering and open new doors for the female mind. I feel that Mary went a little to far with this idea. She wanted to segregate males and females, live in a convent, and find alternates to marriage for women, which, I guess, would be the same as living in a convent. Mary was a feminist which I feel lead her to be so aggre .....

.... to be rescued. Jack is the exact opposite of Ralph. He does not care about being rescued, he is only concerned with taking control away from Ralph. Piggy is the odd one of the boys. He is teased by everyone even though his intelligence is greater than theirs. He becomes Ralph’s only friend at the end. Roger is the last important character and he is the one who supported the killing that Ralph tried to stop. Lord of the Flies is full of symbolism. For example; Jack represents the primitive nature in man and Ralph represents civilization. Also, Piggy’s glasses represent the civilization that they are losing. When Piggy’s glasses are tak .....

.... and Daisy together an act of a man who was a Hero or just an act of kindness towards another human being . I trend to see Nick as being a hero in some ways because of the way he thought but not really in the way he acted he wasn’t overly strong or courageous like the typical stereotype we have a hero to look like . Nick was more of a modern day hero in his own right . Gatsby on the other hand although not a hero in the sense of a physically strong man who saves the lives of distressed people . But he is a hero more in the sense that he is totally devoted to one woman most of his life . Then when it looks as if she is going to get into trouble .....

.... studying various examples from the book. This includes the actions of the children, the racist whites, and the actions of Atticus Finch. The actions of the children in this novel certainly do have their share of symbolism. For instance, the building of a snowman by Jem and Scout one winter is very symbolic. There was not enough snow to make a snowman entirely out of snow, so Jem made a foundation out of dirt, and then covered it with what snow they had. One could interpret this in two different ways. First of all, the creation of the snowman by Jem can be seen as being symbolic of Jem trying to cover up the black man and showing that he is the sam .....

.... sometimes. Love is an intense of feeling of deep affection or fondness for a person or a thing. In the novel, The Great Gatsby, Daisy's love for Gatsby is very shallow.

She has already married Tom and has a daughter by him. She married him during the time Gatsby joins the military, with a thought of him not coming back. Before Gatsby joins the military, Daisy and him made a promise t .....

.... to the field.' And while they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him" (Genesis 4:2-3,5,8). This image of Abel as the helpless victim can be applied to Momaday's character as well. First, it is interesting to note the altercation between Cain and Abel in comparison to Abel's killing of the white man. While the Bible portrays Abel as the sympathetic victim of a vicious crime of jealousy, in Momaday's story, Abel seems at first to have taken the position of the aggressor in killing the white man. However, despite Abel's violent crime, he still seems to mirror his Biblical namesake more so than the violent image of Cain. .....

.... the story. “Day had broken cold and grey, exceedingly cold and grey...� He repeats these phrases to redefine to his readers the impact the setting has on the lives of the characters. The gloominess of the setting instills feelings in the man and the dog, of a constant battle with this world of depression they are in. Being given no sense of imagination, the man is only gifted with his practical knowledge. He therefore is shown to lack the experience and thought to adapt to the conditions encompassing him. Typically, man never wants to deal with the reality, especially when it is unpleasant. “But all this-the mysterious, far-reaching .....

.... mischievous, graceful, polemical imagination. (414, Editor) "Magic realism", a technique often employed by Rushdie is essential to the structure of how the story of the book is conveyed. Michael Gorra’s characterization of Rushdie’s style stated, "His prose prances, a declaration of freedom, an assertion that Shame can be whatever he wants it to be coy and teasing an ironic and brutal all at once. . .[Rushdie’s work] is responsive to the world rather than removed from it, and it is because of this responsiveness that the mode in which he work represents the continued life of the novel. . . and one wants something better to describe it that t .....

.... unlike Darcy who wins her heart. Wickham charms her, leading her to accept his story because he is such a typical soldier type. She fights his charm with her laughter, impertinence and indifference, but he still manages to take her in with transparent deception.

Not at all silly like her ditzy sisters, Elizabeth is simply disengaged and she wishes to see and understand excitement. She finds her wish in Wickham, who provides her with a strange tale that is both shocking and appealing to Elizabeth. Elizabeth perceptiveness fail .....
