.... pigeons in one nest ... Like two blossoms on one stem, / Like two flakes of new-fall's snow, / Like two wands of ivory... ". The mirror images also suggest the idea of a single character having two distinct types of behavior. Laura and Lizzie could be one person having two separate desires fighting within her.

Similar to Laura and Lizzie, Adam and Eve also had opposing desires, and Eve, similar to Laura, .....

Shortly after the war, Kosinski was reunited with his family. Kosinski studied sociology and p .....

Michener uses mostly specific, fictional details to support the general ideas of the islands and their various people, that he conveys through Hawaii. I will go into more detail about the plot in the "Documentat .....

.... that his book would father one of the most well known works of Chinese literature. Eleven centuries later, another edition of 'His Yu Chi' was written. When it was released, the new 'Hsi Yu Chi' was considered as a disgrace to the community of writers. This ludicrous work which lacked philosophical depth and profundity was not only a satire of the Chinese Imperial System and Chinese bureaucracy, but it was an insult to the two most dominant religions at the time, Buddhism and Taoism. The writer had taken the text 'Hsi Yu Chi' and turned it into what was considered at the time, utter nonsense. No wonder it was released anonymously. Until very r .....
