The Reaper's Image
Words: 1141 / Pages: 5

.... thought that this story was very good, because it started off really slow and worked it's way into a really interesting plot. I liked the end because it never really finished, it left the ending up to the reader. This seems to be a common theme in a lot of Stephen King's stories. He likes to leave the reader in suspense, and keep them wondering. Here There Be Tygers This story is about a little boy named Charles who is in elementary school. He has to go to the bathrrom really bad, but he is afraid to ask because the teacher does not like him. Finally the teacher sees him squirming and asks him if he needs to use the restroom. He says yes .....


The Red Badge Of Courage And A Farewell To Arms: The Main Characters
Words: 1474 / Pages: 6

.... he or she is a hero. This idea is the major framework of The Red Badge of Courage, in which Henry Fleming aspires to be a man, a "hero" in the eyes of the masses by enlisting in the army. Henry's goal of returning a man from war has already marred his image of being a potential hero because his thoughts are about himself and not about the welfare of others. Also, the fact that he wants to impress people and appear heroic is a selfish aspiration. Heroes act not to impress others but to help them. Usually the actions of a hero are impulsive and not premeditated because the hero does what he/she believes is right and what their heart tells them is .....


Huckleberry Finn And Tom Sawyer
Words: 848 / Pages: 4

.... is, they agree that they probably should take it out of the oath. Tom disagrees and says, "Why blame it all, we've got to do it. Don't I tell you it's in the books? Do you want to go to doing things different than what's in the books, and get things all muddled up?" (12). Since all the boys want to follow Tom, they keep in the part about ransoming even though they do not know exactly what it is. This brings out Tom's character as a boy that follows the rules very clearly and tries to be like society. Also, when he tells Huck about the Arabs with all the jewels, elephants, and camels that they are going to go attack and they end up in a Sunday s .....


Taming Of The Shrew
Words: 712 / Pages: 3

.... told to go along with the scheme. Shakespeare then uses Tranio (as Lucentio), to pull a fast one on an innocent merchant. He then uses him for the real Lucentio's personal gain. He concocts a false tale of how the merchant will surely be put to death if anyone knows where he is from. His false tale is the following: "‘Tis death for anyone in Mantua to come to Padua. Know you not the cause? Your ships are stayed at Venice, and the Duke, For private quarrel ‘twixt your duke and him. Hath published and proclaimed it openly. Tis marvel, but that you are but newly come, You might have heard it else proclaimed about (4.2.8 .....


The Glass Menagerie: Internal War
Words: 785 / Pages: 3

.... that he feels he needs to take care of his mother and sister. Every time his mother tries to take control of his life, Tom thinks about how his father left and how much better life could be if he did the same thing. Tom doesn’t want to be stuck at home all his life with the responsibility of his mother and sister. In the end, Tom walks down the fire escape for the last time “following in [his] father’s footsteps” (7). No matter how much he tries to be better than his father is he ends up walking out just like him. Amanda is the one that tries to control Tom and burden him with all the responsibilities. She is constantly nagging him about .....


"The Necklace": The Development Of Irony
Words: 586 / Pages: 3

.... class where life was very simple. For her, the only means to a more affluent class was through her imagination. She dreams of "large silent anterooms, expensive silks and of achievement and fame that would make her the envy of all other women" (4). What she fails to realize is that these daydreams only make her more dissatisfied with her real life. As a result, she becomes more focused on what she does not have rather than what she does have. Contributing to the irony is the borrowed necklace. Matilde's husband brings a coveted dinner invitation home, and her first reaction is concern for appearances. She tells her husband that they can .....


Vladimir And Estragon: A Symbol Of Man
Words: 671 / Pages: 3

.... relevant that Estragon is searching for something from his boot, but unable to recognize it. This symbolizes man’s side of using physical ability to answer questions. Vladimir on the other hand continues to look into his hat. Vladirmir constantly “Takes off his hat, peers inside it, feels about inside it, shakes it, puts it on again”2. Through this action Vladimir is shown to be searching for answers in his hat, which symbolizes his using knowledge and his intellectual capability for solving problems. Both Estragon and Vladimir are searching for what the reader assumes to be the key to life’s problems. When they continue to do this thro .....


Go Ask Alice
Words: 990 / Pages: 4

.... The narrative of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is told within the framework of a dream. However, that does not become clear until the end of the story. Springtime, the setting for Alice's dream, is the traditional time in English literature for frivolity and strange stories. The setting for Chaucer's Canterbury Tales also takes place in the spring, at the beginning of April. This accounts for many of the fantastic elements and for the non-linear nature of the story; ideas and conversations are not to be taken seriously, but rather to be enjoyed for their lack of connection and straightforward meaning. The dream world in which Alice finds herself wh .....


Lord Of The Flies: The Setting
Words: 428 / Pages: 2

.... actions because it would ruin the point he is trying to make. Golding also made the setting on an island because he wants the children to create their own culture and society. It will show their own type of government on the island and will give responsibilities to each of the characters. The type of government will shape their behaviors and the respect from the others. Their rules of civilization change the way people feel about each other. For example, Jack does not like Ralph because Ralph is the leader of the group and makes the decisions, but Jack doesn't like the way Ralph leads them. Another reason Golding put the setting o .....


The Life And Work Of Anthony Burgess
Words: 1819 / Pages: 7

.... novel that paints a picture of a gruesome violence in the not-so- distant future. The story is based on, and told by the narrator, the fifteen- year old Alex, but it shows many references to the life and experience of its author. In a series of five books, Burgess also focused on his life experiences. Enderby's Dark Lady was the fifth in the series, and that will be the second book focused on in this paper. Anthony Burgess's work in A Clockwork Orange and Enderby's Dark Lady strongly reflects significant events or influences in his own life. Anthony Burgess was born John Burgess Wilson in Manchester, England in early 1917. (Stinson 1). .....
