.... said this about "Odour of Chrysanthemums": The very title makes an impact on the mind. You get at once the knowledge that this is not, whatever else it may turn out, either a frivolous or even a gay springtime story. Chrysanthemums are not only flowers of the autumn: they are the autumn itself . . . This man knows what he wants. He sees the scene of his story exactly. He has an authoritative mind. (Ford 257) As a fiction editor, he is quite receptive to Lawrence’s descriptive gifts. He is impressed with Lawrence’s sense of purpose. But readers needn’t assess the short story by Ford’s methods alone. Modern readers have a very different p .....

.... between himself and Finny. This is war is always a single sided battle, as it is both created and fought in the mind of Gene. At the beginning of this novel Gene is very “Ignorant� of his heart. He constantly lies, not only to others but also to him self. Finny on the other hand is a very honest person, he never lies about anything to make him sound or feel better about himself. An example of this is the incident where the boys are asked their height and Genes says he is 5’9 and Finny corrects him by saying, “no your five foot eight and a half, the same as me.� This quote shows the honesty that Finny possesses and that Gene lacks. Gene r .....

.... in English class. They taught us to be proud of the flag. And in 1989, when it was burned on the steps of Capitol Hill, it confused our young minds as to why someone who do so. Why? -- That question to me is very hard to answer. The flag stood for freedom, liberty, and justice for all. Battles that had ensured our freedom had been fought over the star spangled banner. Victory as a nation over the English, the Spanish, and the Southerners who wanted to keep their slaves, the Axis who wanted to take over the world, and the Germans who were burning the Jews. Each time we fought we emerged victorious, each time the flag was still there -- a symbol o .....

.... of Gilgamesh. In these two myths similar paths are taken to this absolution are taken by the characters of Adam and Gilgamesh, respectively. These paths, often linked by their contradictions, end with the same conclusion for each man on the subject of immortality; that no amount of knowledge or innocence, power or humility, honoring or sinning, will achieve them immortality in the sense of a life without death. Eternal life for a mortal lies in memory by one’s friends and family after one’s death. When Adam is created in the second chapter (and second creation story) of Genesis out of the dust by the newly created world of God, he is t .....

.... of the fire. They live their life believing that the only thing that exists are these shadows. "The Allegory..." symbolizes man's struggle to reach understanding and enlightenment. First of all, Plato believed that one could only learn through dialectic reasoning and open-mindedness. Humans had to travel from where there are images and objects of sense to the lucid or invisible realm of reasoning and understanding. "" symbolizes this journey and how it would look to those still in a lower place. Plato is saying that humans are all prisoners and that the world is our cave. The things which we perceive as real are actually just shadows on a wall. .....

.... His best friend was Jim a black slaves. Huck's freedom is a setback to him in many ways because it holds him back from getting an education and being a functioning member of society. This is the author's way of saying that there needs to be a balance between freedom and rules. Jim's opinion is that he wants to be free from Mrs. Watson. He also wants to be like Huck free from nature and society; he explains his freedom as superstition. For example, he wants to be free like a bird that can fly away and do whatever he wants without anyone telling him he has to do. Journey to freedom is literal, meaning that he has no rights besides those given to him b .....

.... into mind what could happen because of the size of the creature. Victor said: Although I possessed the capacity of bestowing animation, yet to prepare a frame for the reception of it, with all its intricacies of fibres, muscles and veins, still remained a work of inconceivable difficulty… As the minuteness of the parts formed a great hindrance to my speed, I resolved, contrary to my first intention, to make the being of a gigantic stature; that is to say about eight feet in height, and proportionately large. (52) But when he finished the science that brought him there has also scared him away. On page 56 Victor tells about the creation and wha .....

.... for if he had instead of being hung chose to live the rest of his life as an outcast he would at least still be able to teach his children the error of his ways. Thus because John Proctor had a way out of his trap and opted not to take it because of selfish pride he is not tragic. Tragedy has been said to be the "progress from ignorance, through a cycle of suffering, to enlightenment" (Merle 4). But what exactly does that mean and who would fit this bill of tragedy? Arthur Miller was quoted by the essayist Koon as saying "The common man is apt a subject for tragedy as kings" (Koon 5) And the same idea was reaffirmed by George Lillo who said "that .....

.... to look good was because he was madly in love with himself." Holden had a difficults with no being good. He was afraid of not having any special talents or abilities and and did other thi8ngs to make himself look tough. "Boy, I sat at that goddam bar till around one o'clock or so, getting drunk as a bastard. I could hardly see straight." Holden tried all he could to try to be cool he was faking it just to fit in. He drank, cursed and criticized life l to make it seem he was like he knew of his habits. I myself have found me doing this at times, also.
