.... however. Ernest Hemingway’s ability to achieve a roller coaster of emotions from chapter to chapter is remarkable. The basic feeling of hope and despair take turns throughout the novel but the idea that life is a futile attempt at salvation is stressed at all times. The emotional seesaw that Hemingway puts the reader through is an invigorating experience but even more stimulating since he can maintain the overtones of depression. Hemingway’s ability to pull so many tragedies together to stress the themes of depression, despair, a futility in humanity also make this novel very impressive. Just the setting of a love affair during wartime .....

.... of sides, depending on their social status therefore giving the highest and most respected class in Flatland to the circular or Priestly order who control Flatland. Priests in Flatland are a certain type of polygon. A circle in fact, "that is considered a polygon because of the large number of small sides that the polygon contains. As the number of the sides increases, a polygon approximates to circle; and, when the number is very great indeed, say for example three or four hundred, it is the most difficult for any delicate touch to feel a polygonal angle." It is also safe to say that ii is very improper to feel another shape in the higher classes, .....

.... This probably made the narrator think that she is also ugly because she came from this disgusting creature. This makes her attitude towards the dance understandable. When Mason Williams comes to dance with her, she describes dancing with a `nobody' like her was "as offensive to him as having to memorize Shakespeare." The narrator's school life was just as bad if not worse. She would never be sure of herself when she is called up to the blackboard. Her "hands became slippery with sweat when they were required to work the blackboard compass." She would also envision the worst case scenario, that she had her period prior to being called to the fr .....

.... is use of a spontaneous method of writing. This method creates a free flowing rhythm and structure, which emphasises the theme of personal freedom due to it’s loose style and ability to capture the true feelings of the author as he writes. This original style was used by Kerouac in order subconsciously to express the thoughts of the mind in a continually flowing way without the constraints of the traditional rules of writing. Kerouac stated that when writing using this method one must “never afterthink to improve or defray impressions” because “the best writing is always wrung-out”, “tossed from cradle” .....

.... deal with the mental and physical stresses of war, when they jion the army I see it as signing away there souls they are then asked to murder people over stupid issues. Here is where O’Brien starts up his literary art form. One thing that was interesting to mention is that I noticed when reading the story is the fact that the story is written in third person. The narrator is not actually in the story, merely telling us of the events, and yet we still get to see inside Lt. Cross’s mind to more accurately picture his feelings. The narrator also, although letting us see the innermost, personal thoughts of Cross, always refers to the Lieutena .....

.... and saves Tom at the end. This story takes place during the 1800's in the village of "St. Petersburg" where Tom lives with his aunt. Later on when Tom goes with the Pirate crew the story goes to Jackson's Island. But most of the story occurs in the village. In the story Tom had to whitewash his aunt's fence which he did not want to do. Later on Tom's friend Jim came along he had to get a pail of water from the town pump so Tom said that he would get the water if Jim would whitewash some. Jim said no so Tom was stuck with whitewashing until Ben Rogers came eating a apple, and said "Hello, old chap, you got to work, hey?" Tom told him that it wa .....

.... A simple mistake by someone that is low in the society, but totally changes the meaning of the sentence. This humor is obvious to everybody watching that Bottom had made a mistake. This type of humor, while obvious, sometimes doesn't portray the meaning correctly. Inferred humor is sometimes more suited for this. Shakespeare used something like inferred humor to get across some other meanings that added to the play. One good example is the character of Puck. Puck is a hyperactive child that gets into a lot of mischief. His attitude toward his tasks is sort of a light and airy one. He does not take life seriously, he only does what i .....

.... islands are unlike anything else in the world. They have many different types of species. Darwin figured from his studies that humans evolved from a primate and slowly over millions of years. This has been proven because numerous amounts of fossils were found in Africa, Europe, and Asia. Skulls, teeth, and bones of the earliest form of a human being, apes, and modern humans have been compared. It is that over millions of years the skull for example has more then tripled in size. The earliest tracing back of a human fossil is called austalopithecines; it dates back to about 5 million years ago. Evolution is a slow process and one could learn a lot f .....

.... as a person (Branch 42). After all, "he is very appealing, on the surface" (Costello 95). He "genuinely appreciates brief and isolated instances of kindness" (Lee 263) and "accurately pinpoints phoniness in low and high places� (Edwards 556). Thus, it is easy to explain reader’s acceptance of him. “Indeed, these people are like Holden himself - the Holden who can be willful, contrary, often impossible, yet in a manner insistently of his own making and at odds with whatever he deems dull or conformist� (Lee 102). “Ambivalence is, in fact, characteristic of Holden, the surest evidence of his mental instability" (Furst 76). He is no .....

.... At one point, Pip decides he will teach Joe to read. Although Joe has no real aspiration for this, he humors Pip and lets the boy instruct him. As mentioned before, Mrs. Gargery is a very cruel person. One would think living with her would drive even a saint to kill. Even so, Joe never says a harsh word about his wife and treats her with the utmost respect. Pip's decision to go to London has a greater impact than most readers think. Not only was Joe losing a set of hands around the forge, but he was also saying farewell to a boy who must have been like a son to him. Joe knew that once Pip left they would never have the same relationship. It .....
