.... or six peacocks, considered luxuries in Caux farmyards, were foraging on top� (Flaubert 37). To escape from this lifestyle, she went to a convent, where she created many of her illusions. She and the other girls would go to an old maid to hear fantastic stories about “love, lovers, mistresses, persecuted women… gentlemen brave as lions, gentle as lambs, impossibly virtuous, always well dressed, who wept copiously� (Flaubert 57). When Emma married Charles, she expected this perfect man whom she had pictured from the many romantic novels she had read. It is these fairy-tale illusions that slowly bring the world crashing down on her. Emma†.....

.... plays such an essential role. Desdemona is also an unwilling and unknowing accomplice in Iago’s plan. Her only role is to play on Othello’s tragic flaw, jealousy. The greatest use of another character is Iago’s usage of Roderigo to finance the enforcement of his plan and to do the “dirty work.” This is probably the most unscrupulous component of his plan. It produces sympathy for the other characters because they are oblivious to Iago’s actions and the part they play in the scheme of things. At the same time, it produces a feeling of repugnance toward Iago for his scheming and calculating ways. As we become .....

.... had a successful career and is now prosperous, is thrown again into Anne's society by the letting of Kellynch (her family estate) to his sister and brother-in-law. Throughout the years Anne has remained unshaken in her love for Wentworth. Thus Austen creates a emotional fairy tale which keeps you dreaming and makes you believe that true love never dies. Austen presents her strongest feminist character in this novel. The roles of hero and heroin are reversed and men and woman are presented as moral equals. It is interesting that the most explicit feminist protests by Austen in her novels all have to do with literature. In Persuasion Anne E .....

.... still thought to be the "almighty" minister. In similarity from The Crucible, sin is put on trial. The Crucible directly addresses the themes and ideas from Salem Witch Trials. The young girls and their "leader" Abigail are the core of sin and evil in the girls and the community. Throughout the story accusations are "thrown" at others from the community who are believed righteous. Ultimately in this story the sin is "coming" directly from the black-man or the devil. The girls are believed to have formed a pact with the devil and are now attempting to lure others to come with them. Overall, in both works sin is the major theme and how sin affect .....

.... to be beautiful and loving, it is loathsome and unloved" (64). Clearly it is Frankenstein's lack of foresight in the creation process to allow for a creature that Frankenstein "had selected his features as beautiful," (56) to become something which the very sight of causes its creator to say "breathless horror and disgust filled my heart"(56). He overlooks the seemingly obvious fact that ugliness is the natural result when something is made from parts of different corpses and put together. Were he thinking more clearly he would have noticed monster's hideousness. Another physical aspect of the monster which shows a fault in Frankenstein is it .....

.... his rejection from their society of savage boys forced him to fend for himself. Piggy was an educated boy who had grown up as an outcast. Due to his academic childhood, he was more mature than the others and retained his civilized behaviour. But his experiences on the island gave him a more realistic understanding of the cruelty possessed by some people. The ordeals of the three boys on the island made them more aware of the evil inside themselves and in some cases, made the false politeness that had clothed them dissipate. However, the changes experienced by one boy differed from those endured by another. This is attributable to the physical an .....

.... Chinese women during World War II, where "we feasted, we laughed, we played games, lost and won, we told the best stories. And each week, we could hope to be lucky. That hope was our only joy." (p. 12) Really, this was their only joy. The mothers grew up during perilous times in China. They all were taught "to desire nothing, to swallow other people’s misery, to eat [their] own bitterness." (p. 241) Though not many of them grew up terribly poor, they all had a certain respect for their elders, and for life itself. These Chinese mothers were all taught to be honorable, to the point of sacrificing their own lives to keep any family members†.....

.... it seems just like any other children’s book. A story about a boy who can do no right and who is always in trouble. Then when Ben foes to the doctor he finds out, he has ADD. The book goes on to tell that he needs medication like many the children who have ADD. Ben and his father work on ways of keeping himself under control and that shows the role parents need to play with children with ADD. By using this book in my classroom, I would explain the ways ADD can effect a child. Probably some of my students will have ADD and those who do not understand. The book I think would help them understand the troubles and triumphs students who have ADD go t .....

.... character in Tess's life which harmed her, but in a different manner than Alec. Angel's intentions and morality overshadowed his actions. Angel Clare's actions and attitude toward Tess had less severe effects on her because his intentions were good unlike Alec d'Urbervilles. Angel and Alec have very different attitudes toward Tess. Angel first loved Tess for her innocece: "What a fresh and virginal daughter of Nature that milkmaid is (176)." After he came from Brazil, Angel realized that "The beauty or ugliness of a character lay not only in its achievements, but in its aims and impulses; its true history lay, not among things done, but amo .....

.... the need to free themselves from their parents grow stronger. This is a perfectly normal process, but it does not have to mean that they should completely ostracize their parents. Doris has recognized that she is no longer very necessary in John's life and has accepted this with quiet resignation. She still looks for signs of affection however, but they seem few and far in between. She has virtually no relationship with Annette whom she sees as a representative of the new, efficient generation. While Doris does not fear progress, she fails to see the use for many of the modern products. Annette on the other hand has adopted a somewhat colder attitu .....
