... illiterate and superstitious, the Friar was respected as God himself. The Friar’s job in the church was to help people, who committed crime, by giving them a guide to pray for a certain time so that they can receive absolution. But the Friar in was not honest and dedicated in doing his job. He abused his position by taking money from people who came to confess. He told them that they would get absolution if they pay him and thus broke the vow of obedience because it is against the Catholic Church. He broke the vow of chastity by having adulterous relationships with other women. By wearing expensive clothes, spending his time with wealthy people rather than ...

... religious color that is worn at Christmas and at Easter to celebrate Christ who made us pure and took away our sins. White is the color of purity. Daisy is not a very pure person, but she wants be appear pure. In order to make herself seem pure she drives a white car and dresses in white. "She [Daisy] dressed in white, and had a little white roadster…" (p. 75) She also dresses her daughter in white. Even in Daisy’s name we see white. The Daisy is a white and yellow flower. Daisy also often became physically white. "His [Gatsby’s] heart beat faster and faster as Daisy’s white face came up to his own." (p. 112) It is obvious that Daisy is a very white character. A ...

... teach you any more. It's best to begin reading with a fresh mind." (pG. 22) Instead of praising Scout's ability to read at an advanced level, Miss Caroline discourages it. This ironic example set by Miss Caroline seems to demonstrate the inadequate training that she had received for her occupation. Miss Caroline seems to have been instructed upon a strict standard on how her students are expected to behave, but when she encounters something different, such as Scout's advanced ability to read, she advises Scout to stop being advanced, whereas a modern-day schoolteacher would capitalize on Scout's ability to read and encourage her to read more. "You won't learn to wr ...

... hope drunk? Werein you dressed yourself? Hath it slept since? And wakes it now, to look so green and pale At what it did so freely? From this time Such I account thy love. Art thou afeard To be the same in thine own esteem, Letting "I dare not" wait upon "I would," Like the poor cat I' th' adage*" (Act I, Scene vii, Lines 35-45, Page 36) In this quote we can see that Lady Macbeth's ambitions are as evil as Macbeth's ambitions. Lady Macbeth is asking Macbeth if he is afraid to kill Duncan, and if he has enough courage to say so. She is asking him if he wants to be king or not, and if he is to be king he must kill ...

... founding of America. The documents establishing a country where all men are created equal neglect to address, or even mention by name, those people whose lives were "merely the extension of the master's will" (Huggins xiv). Indeed, this suggests that the Founding Fathers had an "out of sight, out of mind" mentality towards the issue of slavery. While Huggins understands why the Founding Fathers may have elected to ignore the issue, he hardly thinks that it was a good idea. "It encouraged the belief that American history-its institutions, its values, its people- was one thing and racial slavery and oppression were a different story" (Huggins xii). He reinforces t ...

... in the night throughout his city. Once apprehended Alex is subjected to a series of treatments that make him incapable of violence, and rape. Alex and Jack are both sadistic leaders of there own groups. Jack is the head of the hunters. Alex has a band of “droogs” which are friends and enemies. Society plays an important part in both of their lives. It is ironic that Alex starts as a savage and Jack as a civilized human being, But when their society’s and surroundings affect them each of them becomes what the other was. Alex becomes unable to commit evil and Jack assumes leadership of a savage group that commits acts of brutality. Alex an ...

... intended by its author to, evoke just how wonderful our lives could be if the human genome were rewritten. Let's say our DNA will be spliced and edited so we can all enjoy life-long bliss, awesome peak experiences, and a spectrum of outrageously good designer- drugs. Nor does Huxley's comparatively sympathetic account of the life of the Savage on the Reservation convey just how nasty the old regime of pain, disease and unhappiness can be. If you think it does, then you enjoy an enviably sheltered life and an enviably cosy imagination. For it's all sugar-coated pseudo-realism. In BNW, Huxley contrives to exploit the anxieties of his bourgeois audience about ...

... and physically, that the war is very different from what he had hoped it was going to be. Although the soldier becomes nervous and even runs away at the Battle of Chancellorsville, he eventually returns to find that he and his fellow soldiers have grown. They had learned more about themselves then they ever believed possible. The young soldier becomes a man with plenty of courage by the end of this book. Stephen Crane brings the reader into his book, first with his power of describing details so eloquently, and second by telling us very little of the young soldiers' life, leaving him a mystery. Crane may have even been generalizing all the young soldiers ...

... in his house reading a magazine. We continue with Dr. Teru Fumi Sasaki, a surgeon, was walking down the hospital hallway carrying blood specimens. Finally, Rev. Mr. Kayo She Tanimoto, the pastor of the Hiroshima Methodist Church, was about to put away some clothes. While these innocents civilians were carrying out there lives, yet unknown to them, a plane called the Enola Gay silently passed unnoticed overhead and quietly dropped the worlds deadliest bomb that changed history forever. All they saw was split second, tremendous flash of light which gave them just enough time to turn there heads and then chaos rang out like church bells on a Sunday morning. When ...

... opening lines of the story, Goodman Brown is depicted as a fair and holy man. Little does he knows that the journey he is about to take will strip him of all that is innocent and pleasant in his environment. Not long after Goodman Brown’s journey down the wooded path, but he comes upon the figure of a man. This is Hawthorn’s opening stage for Goodman Brown’s disillusionment, which turns out to be the beginning of the end for Young Goodman. The man along the path is clearly seen as evil because of the detailed description of his devilish appearance and the nature of this late-night rendezvous. The devilish man says to Goodman Brown “I have been well acquainted ...
