20,000 Leagues Under The Sea: Overview
... the monster will
disappear from sight for hours. While reading this part of the book the reader
feels like he is on the boat chasing the monster also. A lot of times the boat
gets close enough to the monster to catch it and thoughts of what you think the
monster could be run through your head like crazy. When they finally make an
attempt to capture it, it disappears beneath the depths of the ocean.
One of the most suspenseful and mysterious parts of the book was when
the characters were thrown into a big room inside the submarine that seemed to
have no doors. At this point in the book the characters have no idea what was
going on, neither does the read ...

Racism In Heart Of Darkness
... characteristics among the characters. Achebe then compares the descriptions of the Intended and the native woman. Explaining that the savage "fulfills a structural requirement of the story: a savage counterpart to the refined European woman," and also that the biggest "difference is the one implied in the author's bestowal of human expression to the one and the withholding of it from the other."(Achebe, p.255) This lack of human expression and human characteristics is what Achebe says contributes to the overflowing amount of racism within Conrad's novella. Human expression, is one of few things that make us different from animals, along with such things as com ...

The Fountainhead: Howard Roark And Objectivism
... idea, in short, is the basis of Objectivism.
In my opinion, I think Ayn Rand's philosophy is completely ridiculous.
According to The Fountainhead our entire society is based upon the unchanging
principles made up and maintained solely by powerful, influential old men
(Elsworth Toohey). Furthermore, Miss Rand dictates that true happiness can only
be found by defying these principles. I would have to say that although Miss
Rand's Objetivism works well with in the realm of the book, I fail to see it in
the "real world." In the "real world" these underlying principles are ever-
changing. Brought out by constantly advancing ideas, technology, and influences, ...

Prejudice In The Merchant Of V
... to our faith. Those who have been raised to the dignity of royal priesthood by Baptism and configured more deeply to Christ by Confirmation participate with the whole community in the Lord’s own sacrifice by means of the Eucharist. When we receive the Eucharist through the Sacrament of Communion God cleanses us free of sin, which is like the offerings brought upon the Lord during Passover. The unleavened bread in Passover is like the host that is consecrated to Christians during Communion. The Holy unleavened bread (host) and wine remind us of Jesus’ Passover. For the Christian community, the eucharist is a sign of God’s love, faith, and c ...

The Harness Conspiracy
... of him losing this credibility, people would look to the other highly respected farmer in town, Clark DeWitt. They would plant whatever Clark planted, which just turned out to be some barley, and in turn increase the demand for sweet peas. The doctor and the undertaker were promised a share of the profit when the crops were sold. This conspiracy may not seem obvious at first glance, but under closer observation, one can see all the inconsistencies and clues that lead to this conclusion.
First, there are many inconsistencies concerning Emma's incessant illness. When we first see Emma described, we are told that her eyes were "feverish with a determination to li ...

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest: Rules In Society
... their thought process, I disagree.
There are those who conform to the norms of society, those who do not, and those who enforce the system. The people who conform follow the crowd, share a universal brain, in a sense. If it is customary to wear shoes to dinner than they wear shoes. It is the norm and the right thing to do. Why? Because the masses deem it so, or because it is truly the right thing to do? The people who wear their shoes do not ask questions like this. They follow their fellow men like drone robots, good little servants of society.
There are those people in our society that do as they please when it comes to the unwritten rules of the world. ...

"The Big, The Good, The Ugly"
... is a man that was very generous. Many people have different attributes that make them different from other people, but most of them find a way around them. I think that Cyrano shouldn't have let his nose interfere with what he really wanted in his life.
Another scene that helps out with the similarities of the two titles is C.D.'s and Cyrano's living conditions. Cyrano lived with the soldiers in the quarters, and had very little spending money. C.D. lived with the Firemen most of the time, he also as a fireman did not make that much money. The contrast of the living styles helps out with the reader and viewers point of views because most people who are "u ...

Call Of The Wild
... express car to Seattle. On his way to Seattle, he found that a man in a red sweater repeatedly beat him. From then on, I knew that Buck would never forget that experience. In that part of the book, I found out that Buck was now an enraged animal and could only be tamed by repeatedly being hit with a club or a whip.
At this point of the book, I was thinking about Judge Miller. He would’ve sent out a message or an investigation in order to find Buck. Because Judge Miller had a big house to live in, the book implied that he was wealthy. The trip to Seattle must of taken days and by then, Judge Miller would’ve been worried sick about his inseparable companion. As the ...

An Education In Escape: Madame Bovary And Reading

satisfied women content with her confinement and conformity at the convent.
At first far from being boredom the convent, she enjoyed the company of
the nuns, who, to amuse her, would take her into the chapel by way of a long
corridor leading from the dining hall. She played very little during the
recreation period and knew her catechism well. (Flaubert 30.)Footnote1
The chapter is also filled with images of girls living with in the
protective walls of the convent, the girls sing happily together, assemble to
study, and pray. But as the chapter progresses images of escape start to
dominate. But these are mer ...

The Bean Trees: Symbols And Hidden Meanings
... her car tire. Yet she ends up working
in the shop and overcoming this fear with help from Mattie. This also is
an example of how Taylor is a round character and grows throughout the
story. Another irony near the beginning of the story is when Taylor's car
breaks down and she is given an Indian baby, she finds herself in the
predicament that she was trying to avoid in Kentucky. Back in Kentucky
she was proud that she made it through high school without becoming
pregnant and having to take on that responsibility. When she leaves her
home town she also wants to leave it all behind. It's is symbolized by her
changing her name and leaving without second thoughts. ...
