.... runaway slave. The river can also represent a sanctuary to Huck as well. It is a place for him to run to, to escape the life he doesn’ t want. It is a safe haven from his father who wants nothing but his son’s money. The reason Huck turns to the river in the first place is to escape from his drunken abusive father. Huck finds much more happiness on the river than with his father or at the Widow’s home, where he is supposed to be living. On the river, Huck is free to go wherever he pleases and to be whoever he wants to be. He doesn’t have to look for adventure, adventure finds him quite easily.

.... and a tree in the book and represent him returning to some of the traumatic events in his life. Gene had always conformed to rules and followed rules and regulations with obedience.

.... other unchristian-like practices. Chaucer's use of satire is illustrated very well in the Prologue of "The Pardoner" when the Pardoner truthfully states to the people "and after that I tell my tales; I show bulls of popes, cardinals, patriarchs, and bishops; and I speak a few words in Latin, to give color and flavor to my preaching, and to stir them to devotion." (Chaucer, 339) To think that anybody would bluntly tell of their deceitful ways to people that confided and believed in everything they said is another tactic used by Chaucer to exaggerate what he is trying to get his audience to see. He provides many exaggerated examples of the P .....

.... you’re trying to make out a drunkard� in a sharp, unforgiving tone(99). According to Roberta Caplan, some people may drink abusively during a personal crisis and then resume normal drinking (Groiler) which explains Emily’s “rhythmic sorrow� filled with “alcohol�(102). In addition, fear and worry for his wife an children make Martin feel uneasy. Returning from work a year ago, Martin stumbled upon his children crying and his wife intoxicated after the baby had been dropped on her “frail skull�(100).

.... future and wishing for it to come. I had almost no kind of happiness for where I was or what I was doing in the present. I cut myself off from the outside world. I was rather shy around other people (I still am, admittedly) and I had very few friends. It was not too long before I discovered the faults in my erroneous living. I finally realized, and truly not a moment too soon, that if I did not start living for the present, my future would soon become my neglected present. I would have wasted my life doing meaningless things and I would have no experience to share with anyone who may be interested in the uneventful life I had led. After .....

.... Why should I?’ ‘I should think sometimes you would want to see other people besides me.’ ‘Do you want to see other people?’ ‘No.’ ‘Neither do I.’” p.297. This conversation shows that Catherine loves him so much that she is willing to be alone just so he can be happy. At the same time, Mr. Henry would probably like to go skiing but would never dream of leaving Catherine alone. Death wins out over love. “’It is very dangerous.’ The nurse went into the room and shut the door. I sat outside in the hall. Everything was gone inside of me. I did not think. I could no th .....

.... anticipated trip had been in vain. Many other situations caused him to feel driven and derided by vanity. His reflections of the “charitable� life of the priest who occupied the narrator's house before the narrator make us wonder if the priest led a life of vanity. His early obsession with Mangan's sister now seems in vain. “I had never spoken to her ... and yet her name was like a summons to my foolish blood. (4)� He feels ashamed and ridiculed by his earlier inability to communicate with Mangan's sister. He sees how distracted he was by his anticipation of the bazaar. He recalls that he “ had hardly any patience with the serious wor .....

.... was because he was madly in love with himself." (pg. 27) Holden had an inferiority complex. He was afraid of not having any special talents or abilities and used other methods to make him out to be a rough tough boy. "Boy, I sat at that goddam bar till around one o'clock or so, getting drunk as a bastard. I could hardly see straight." (pg. 150) Holden tried all he could to fit in. He drank, cursed and criticized life in general to make it seem he was very knowing of these habits. I myself have found me doing this at times, also. I, at times, feel the need to fit in to a group and do things similar to what others do in order to gain acceptance .....

.... different state from that of wakefulness; and therefore, as that man truly said, it requires enormous, presence of mind or rather quickness of wit, when opening your eyes to seize hold as it were of everything in the room at exactly the same place where you had let it go on the previous evening. That was why, he said, the moment of waking up was the riskiest moment of the say. Once that was well over without deflecting you from your orbit, you could take heart of grace for the rest of your day. Gregor woke up one morning to find himself turned from a human being to a beetle. People found that to be extremely hard to grasp. Many felt as thoug .....
