.... who considers that environment has the primary influence on the development if a person or group,”. Huck was taught that blacks were lower then whites, and should not be treated as equals, so according to this belief he should have hated blacks, but he didn’t. Huck was too smart and open minded for the belief of white supremacy. Huck has had positive interactions with blacks, and has taken a liking to the slave Jim, who he helped to free, to go with him on his wild adventure. Huck never had very much schooling. This is one of the reasons he is so smart. It may sound odd, but the school system in Huck’s time had an agenda to make .....

.... people involved in the act. (Davis, p. xx) He believes soft-core pornography is describing "a sexual experience", which conveys characteristics of the participants that are not described by hard-core pornography. Hard-core pornography describes "sexual behaviour" which involves more of the act of sex rather than the characteristics and feelings involved with sex. (Davis, p. xix) Although Davis admits that the vocabulary of sex is changing (Davis, p. xxv), he also states that hard-core pornography uses considerably more vulgar terms that are associated with lower-class activity, such as, "prick, fuck, and suck" (Davis, p. xxiii). Davis belie .....

.... light instructs drivers to proceed. A symbol is much more complex than this. A symbol may also stand for something else as seen in its simplest case. A symbol sums up a large number of ideas and attitudes. The complexity of a symbol may be more intense than a sign because it can have several meanings in different situations.

Nick went to see what Gatsby was looking at and all he could see was "...nothing except a single green light, minute and far awa .....

.... wish to overcome my birth rite as an orphan in Victorian time. At Gateshead it becomes apparent that I possess a fiery temper saying to my aunt, “You think I have no feelings, and that I can do without one bit of love or kindness, but I cannot live so and you have no pity� (Bronte 68). Here I make my first declaration of independence, contending that I will no longer be a secondary member. The love that gives desire and power which sustains life, is obvious by the fact that my “fear� of the consequences of a fully developed emotional response leads to its own destruction (Blom 91). Because I am “too passionate� – that is angry, rebelli .....

.... that Dickens began writing David Copperfield he was already a profound author with great popularity. I believe he wanted to portray life as best he could, he wanted to show what life was to him: and what better way than a biography closely related to Dickens himself. We could call it a 'Novel of personal memory' but we have to keep in mind the full original title: 'The Personal History, Adventures, Experience, and Observation of David Copperfield, the Younger, of Bluderstone Rookery. (Which he never meant to published on any account.) This complete title strongly suggests that this is one man's story written for himself. It was also supposed to 'never .....

.... messages. It is just a master piece" (Bruccoli Preface). The Great Gatsby was a book that was written for a younger audience, and written by an author of his time period (Bruccoli ix). The biographical influences of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby are shown through not only Nick Carraway's dedication to achieving wealth, but also in the very vivid comparisons between Daisy Buchanan and Zelda Fitzgerald, and between Jay Gatsby and Fitzgerald himself. In many of Fitzgerald's stories he uses his real life experiences, and in The Great Gatsby he chose to use some of his wife's experiences to make the character Daisy Buchanan. Zelda Fitzg .....

.... they never find true comfort in nature. Victor Frankenstein claims, “No human being could have passed a happier childhood than myself” (Shelley, 19). His early life was filled with love and nurturing from his parents, his beautiful and adored companion Elizabeth, and his best friend Henry Clerval.
