.... and sets the scene. Then he flows into the story. Also both the stories deal with religion and sin which is from the main character.

Hester being an adulteress and the ministers sin being unknown. Also the item used in representation of their sin is different. Hester had the elaborately stit .....

.... and anxious man who had to take all of his anxiety out in the short period of time in the morning. He had to do this before he could concentrate and settle down to do his work. Unlike Turkey he did not need the alcohol to have these two sides to his personality. This was just part of his own personal existence.

Nippers and Turkey might be here therefore to show us that the narrator is going to have the same problems with Bartleby. Nippers and Turkey also give us something to compare Bartelby to. Another reason Turkey and Nip .....

.... for him to pull up--he must wait until he loses strength. Will Santiago pursue the fish or give up? A wonderful book of morality, focusing on a few of Hemingway's universal themes--courage in the face of death, compassion for others, and respect for nature. I loved the Biblical references that were in the book--the cuts in the old man's left hand, the blood running down his face. is very rich with figurative language such as "flag of permanent defeat" (my favorite, first paragraph). My favorite character in the book was the first marlin that was mentioned--the male marlin accompanied by his female mate. The male always let the female feed first, a .....

.... rather than change and it also symbolizes the traditions of the community. No one in the little town questions the origin of the black box, but accept it as an intrical part of their lives. The lottery itself is symbolic of the paradox of the human psyche between compassion on one hand and the thirst for violence and cruelty on the other. An example of this is when the children are enjoying a break from school, playing and being children, and suddenly they are being joined by "rational" adults in stoning a mother to death. It appears that tradition has blinded these people in an irrational way, making them unable to think of a reason why this pos .....

.... looking men: one short, intelligent man (Vizzini), a Spaniard (Inigo), and a giant (Fezzik). They kidnap her and Vizzini reveals that he wants to start a war with the nearby country Guilder by murdering Buttercup and leaving her on the “Guilder frontier," even though Inigo and Fezzik are not too happy with the idea they follow their orders.

.... such lecture, delivered by Emerson in 1837 to a Harvard audience, spoke about the past, present, and future of “The American Scholar.” Twenty-five years later, in 1862, shortly after his death, a monthly periodical published an article constructed from Thoreau’s journals, entitled simply “Walking.” Though very different in general subject matter, both pieces contain very similar philosophies, applicable to many areas of life and society. The application of these philosophies from one work to the other, show not a taste of plagiarism, but rather act as a testament to the influence of Ralph Waldo Emerson on the tho .....
