.... Showing no fear in most people may be looked at as a brave thing to do but he is only doing it because he has reverted to a very primitive life style. Roger reaches his deepest savage emotions and feelings when he kills Piggy with the boulder.

.... night and I will bring a pointy reckoning that will shudder you.” (Miller, 20) by this you can already tell that she has gained authority over the girls. Abigal is so corrupt that she tries to protect herself from being hanged by condemning everyone. Even goody Putnam (a wife of a minister) which has nothing to do with witch craft; when Danforth tells Abigal that she has been mistaken her only response is “Let you beware Mr. Danforth. Think you to be so mighty that the power of hell may not turn your wits?” (Miller, 108) Then pretends to freeze and makes Marry and John turn out to be the bad ones. When Abigal sees Marry making a popp .....

.... of our government. The final example of prophecy is genetically altering embryos. In the book they altered the embryos to make some not as smart as others. They also did it to put the people in different caste systems. They also, not mentioned in the book, prevented diseases from the altering of the embryos. Certainly there were many things that Aldous Huxley prophesied that came true. There were many examples of fantasy in the book, Brave New World. The first is the thought of no mothers and fathers. In the book they had no mothers or fathers and those words were considered bad. They belonged to the state and that was all they needed. Today .....

.... is and how “even a deathless god who came upon that place would gaze in wonder, heart entranced with pleasure� (154). The story proceeds to describe the goddess as having a “breathtaking voice� (154) and being “lustrous� (155). Yet, when the story describes Odysseus, he is “wrenching his heart with sobs and groans and anguish� (156). Even though, Odysseus resides on a beautiful island with a goddess who takes care of him, he still wishes to be at home. Odysseus recognizes that fact that the island is beautiful, but he still longs to be at home. Additionally, Odysseus remains faithful to Penelope, not by modern day standards, but .....

.... her mind. Gilman suggests to the reader that by accepting the norms and roles of society and thus repressing one’s true desires and feelings can only lead to a loss of identity and sanity. This attitude is brought to light in the reader’s mind through observance of the woman’s increasing mental instability as she gives more and more life to the wallpaper each time she resumes writing. At the beginning of her story, the woman reveals much about herself and the life she lives. She has a husband, John, who is a physician and seems to be more of a father than a companion. It is also learned that she suffers from a problem with depres .....

.... of murder in the streets. The inner streets of our nations' cities have, over the years, proven to be war zones. Gangs are roaming the streets to protect their territory, making gunplay an everyday task. The smell of fear, death, and misguided souls reek to the nose of the onlooker. Brent Staples does an outstanding job of describing the severity of these problems. His brother, Blake, leads a life molded by this street life. His official cause of death was murder. However, at the young age of twenty-two years old, they should have noted his death as a casualty of war. He played a part in the war of gangs and guns. If he did not live in t .....

.... money. He visits Judge Thatcher only to find that the money is out of his reach.

.... A few examples are the black handle on the long blade, Pepe’s black hair, and the black jerky. Another example may be found when Pepé puts on his fathers black coat, which represents death. When Pepé puts on the coat he is literally covering himself with death. Another fine example is the trail in which Pepé travels. Steinbeck describes the path as a well-worn black path. By traveling on this path he is in fact taking the road of death. Furthermore Pepé's appearance also helps foreshadow the ending. Steinbeck describes him as having a black hat that covers his black thatched hair. Pepé is also described as being dark, lean and tall. Another .....

.... else has. I also think that he's sorry that humans cannot appreciate the beauty of nature, and are polluting it with factories, buildings, and alike. Neruda grew up in the wilderness, and I think that he misses the wild landscapes and the fresh air he used to breath when he was a boy. The line that confused me was when he says that it would be "delicious to kill a nun." I thought that because of his experience of loosing a friend during war, he would be against any kind of violence. But, I then I thought that since existentialism consists of an active role of the will, and not the reason, Neruda was just being spontaneous. He probably wa .....

.... an imagined town, an imagined family and their failure. Or, is the book a metaphor for Latin America’s, specifically Colombia’s and her peoples history. Did Marquez write this book to paste it on history as an example of a history not to be repeated again, to paste it as a warning. As the second part of this assay, I want to focus on gypsies since they construct an other culture other than the inhabitants of Macondo. To find out the importance of this distinct, nomadic gypsy culture will enable the reader to make a comparison between gypsies and their contact with civilization, and Buendia family and their failure within their solit .....
