.... from his work by secretly earning and saving enough money to take him on a retreat. His knowledge of this plan would show weakness on his part, and would degrade his power in the eyes of society. He would be humiliated. To prevent such an occurrance, I feel that both of them need to share equally in the responsibilities and descision making that goes on in their family. The first step towards this is for both of them to acknowledge that each of them is one half of a partnership, and that their abilities and sensibilities compliment one another, and should not create a shadow, like the one Nora is living under. They both need to treat each othe .....

.... the facts surrounding the murders of an obscure Kansas farmer and three of his family members becomes almost frightening. At many times, the author of this paper was left wondering why this book was having such an effect on him and why it seemed so realistic to him. Initially, one may think the answer to be that the book was a true account- because these things had actually happened, and they were not simply a fictional story produced by some author's overactive imagination. However, it becomes apparent it wasn't just the horrific story of these murders that is troubling, but the aspect of how Capote tells the story that makes reading it uneasy. .....

.... once controversial topic could create such a dystopia in one place. Fahrenheit 451 had many examples of good writing techniques that made it a good novel. One technique that Bradbury did a good job of using was description. He described things specifically using outstanding similes and personifications. One example is how he mentioned the fire hose. He called it "the great python spitting its venomous kerosene upon the world." (Bradbury 3) This made the reader not only visualize the hose but get a feel for the mood about the firemen at that time. Another example of good description is how he described the physical appearance of the firemen. "Their .....

.... with it. Although there was some other obstacles along the way such as Jordan's inability to get along with all of the teammates. It is recorded that in one practice session Bill Cartwright was hit in the face by Micheal Jordan. They were in a disagreement as to if Micheal distributes the ball to the "bigmen" enough. Sam Smith also says that Jordan is known throughout the Bull's organization for not getting along very good with fellow players. Even with all of the problems inside the club they still looked good on the court and were good enough to win. The Jordan Rules did a very good job of describing a whole year of basketball in one book. It h .....

.... it does not have its own song. Whereas, the blue jay is loud and obnoxious, the mockingbird only sings other birds' songs. Because the mockingbird does not sing its own song, we characterize it only by what the other birds sing. Hence, we see the mockingbird through the other birds. In the novel, the people of Maycomb only know Boo Radley and Tom Robinson by what others say about them. Both of these characters do not really have their own "song" in a sense, and therefore, are characterized by other people's viewpoints. Throughout the novel, Scout, Jem, and Dill are curious about the "mysterious" Boo Radley because he never comes outside of his house .....

.... them weeds? She thought they were pretty" (Morrison 47). Pecola is like the dandelions: most people pay no attention to her, and instead, try to keep her as far away from themselves as possible. If people could just look closer, they might see the beauty in the dandelions and in Pecola. However, Pecola knew that this was not likely because of society's hate for her and she knew that, "Nobody loves the head of a dandelion" (Morrison 47). Pecola soon realizes that she will never be beautiful just how she is. As she looks affectionately at the dandelions, "they do not look at her and do not send love back" (Morrison 51). Pecola realizes that the .....

John, at first was puzzled by this, but soon realized that it was not his personality, his age, but his blackness that made him a disgrace in the eyes of an average white person. If he were white, a white store owner would have not hesitated in the slightest to allow such privileges.

.... and light and dark words. Theocratic domination is the ambience of control of a society based on religious ideals and laws. It is a society that relies on the guilt that comes from the violation of the laws of its religion and the punishment of these transgressions. Puritan society was one such theocracy. It based its ideals on the bible and used fear of sin to dominate the minds and lives of its people. This concept of theocratic domination is presented in the novel in several different forms. It is shown in the actions of town officials, enforcing the laws of the bible and punishing those who go against biblical law. This is shown wh .....
