.... desire to learn certain things. According to Kohl, these students turn to creative maladjustment while “breaking social patterns that are morally reprehensible, taking conscious control of one’s place in the environment, and readjusting the world one lives in based on personal integrity and honesty.� The concept of not-learning, being something that can be learned is an interesting phenomenon to me that is explored by Kohl in the title essay of his book. Sometimes a teacher may mistake a student for having a learning disability or a behavior problem, when rather the child is actually making a conscious choice to “not learn� certain valu .....

.... and Marx whose ideas were to lead to the communist revolution. Animal Farm is a criticism of Karl Marx, as well as a novel perpetuating his convictions of democratic Socialism. (Zwerdling, 20). Lenin became leader and teacher of the working class in Russia, and their determination to struggle against capitalism. Like Old Major, Lenin and Marx wrote essays and gave speeches to the working class poor. The working class in Russia, as compared with the barnyard animals in Animal Farm, were a laboring class of people that received low wages for their work. Like the animals in the farm yard, the people is Russia thought there would be no oppression in .....

.... are left on their own. They start to collect themselves into a society of food gatherers under an elected chief, Ralph. Ralph is about 12 years old, and has a very sensible, and logical personality. At first, the boys create duties to follow, and they live amicably in peace. Soon however, differences arise as to their priorities. The smaller children (know as littl'uns) lose interest in their tasks; the older boys want to spend more time hunting than carrying out more routine duties, such as keeping the signal fire on the top of the mountain going, and building shelters. A rumor spreads that a "beast" of some sort is lurking in the forest, and .....

.... Their First Purchase Church is very old and worn out. The paint is cracked and peeling, it has no ceiling, there’s a rough oak pulpit, and cheap cardboard fans must be used to keep the congregation cool. There is no piano, organ or church program in sight, and the whole church has to share one hymnbook! The graveyard contains only a few expensive headstones, with most graves merely outlined by broken glass. A further degradation occurs during the rest of the week, when the church building is used by whites for gambling. A majority of the black community is illiterate because there are no schools for blacks in Maycomb County. Their only way of .....

.... bears the mind of a child. They compliment eachother in many ways, but deep within they have an inseparable relationship. "Sometimes you just get used to a guy." The two have grown together, and they live a part of eachother. George, being the leader of the two, has the responsibility of caring for Lennie, who is much like a child in his ways, however, far more dangerous than his inner character reflects. George has to keep a watchful eye over Lennie, for without constant supervision, Lennie would inadvertently kill anything he touches. George has towards Lennie the tenderness and protective instinct which most have towards the helpless, the disad .....

.... Stobrod began coughing Stobrod had blood all over himself, from his neck to his collar. Ada and Ruby took care of him. Inman was afraid to fall apart at a bad time. Then he realized there is never a good time to fall apart. He thought of Ada. He thought that maybe she could save him from his troubles and redeem him from the past four years in the war. He was trying not to listen to the voices in his head, but he couldn't avoid them. They told him that it was possible to be lost in bitterness and anger that you are no longer able to find your way out. Inman finally got up from his slumber and continued on his journey. Inman would never have .....

.... he will never be able to have her for his own, and he accepts this as fact. This is clear when the Count asks them ³why don¹t you get married, you two? (68)² To this question, they give a lame half hearted awnser which implies that it will never happen. He is tolerant of her behavior because he loves her unconditionally and is willing to overlook everything she does. Jake’s willingness to endure and forgive Brett¹s promiscuity and infidelity is an indication of the skewed values of the age. It was an ³anything goes² era right after the first war, and Jake¹s message to Brett seems to be the same: anything goes as long as you eventually co .....

.... to insure his education. He was then mocked by having to recite a speech he was to memorize, which showed the total disrespect the people who were giving the scholarship had for the future students. After getting into school, a simple job turned into an unforeseen disaster that would change his life forever. He was to chauffeur Mr. Norton, a founder of the college he attended. Mr. Norton was a well educated but very ignorant man. He felt that the college was doing all of the good that could be done. He had no idea of the evils that dwelled upon the grounds. Dr. Bledsoe, the head of the college, had arranged for Mr. Norton to go for a .....

.... sin and therefore Brown’s life turns dark due to his loss of hope. Literary critic Mark Van Doren states: “Young Goodman Brown” means exactly what it says, namely that its hero left his pretty young wife one evening … to walk by himself in a primitive New England woods, the Devil’s territory,…and either to dream or actually to experience (Hawthorne will not say) the discovery that evil exist in every human heart…Brown is changed. He thinks there is no good on earth…Brown, waking from his dream, if it was a dream,…sees evil even where it is not…He had stumbled upon that “mystery of sin&# .....

.... the workings of their thoughts, the characters inadvertently reveal something about their own desires, emotions and experiences to the reader. The thoughts of Guildenstern and Rosencrantz present the reader with one possible factor for the cause of Hamlets supposed madness. The two men believe that the cause for Hamlets madness is his lack of “advancement” or thwarted ambition. In a conversation with Hamlet in Act II scene II, Guildenstern and Rosencrantz come upon this idea: Hamlet: Denmark's a prison. Rosencrantz: Then is the world one. Hamlet: A goodly one; in which there are many confines, wards and dungeons, Denmark being one o' .....
