... That revenge is what made him try to prevent Dimmesdale from confessing in the last scaffold scene. The scarlet letter had hurt Hester every day and every moment a lot, so Chillingworth let it do the avenge work alone without interfering (Hester: “Why hast thou not avenged thyself on me?” “I have left thee to the scarlet letter”replied Roger Chillingworth.). But for Dimmesdale he had a whole different plan. He came back to town as a different person with a different name. Now he was Roger Chillingworth (We don’t know his name before the first scaffold incident), a well-appreciated and educated physician. He came to help Dimmesd ...

... of flying fish and dolphin of which he would like to have salt on. This part of the story tells of a cold and harsh sea, that is, one that has value and mystery as well as death and danger. It has commercial value as well as the population of life in it. It is dark and treacherous though, and every day there is a challenge. A similar story tells about a tidal pool with life called `Cannery Road'. This part of the story has to deal with figures of Christ. It mainly deals with Santiago as being a figure of Christ and other characters as props, that is, characters which carry out the form of biblical themes. On the day before he leaves when he wakes up, Manolin, his h ...

... is what the tattered solider illustrates in the book. The tattered solider's pain comes from all of the horrible things associated with war. Him going crazy brings emotional pain and the physical pain is brought on by the endurance of war. "There was a tattered man, fouled with dust, blood and powder stain from hair to shoes, who trudged quietly at the youths side." (pg 50) The tattered solider also characterizes the toughness people can endear. "... the tattered soldier had two wounds, one in the head and the other in the arm, making that member dangle like a broken bough." (pg 51) "'Was a pretty good fight, wa'n't it?' Said the tattered man." (pg 51) Eve ...

... actions towards the people he meets. People are also afraid of him because people are afraid of things they know nothing about. The character of Justine can be used to display societies affect on people. Society doesn't kill her, but the ignorance of people does. Society can't kill a person, but it can influence the actions of its people. She is held accountable for a murder she didn't commit. Judgment is passed on her prematurely. I'll admit there was evidence against Justine, and we have the advantage of knowing that she didn't do it. Justine was not exactly a pillar of the community, so some reasonable evidence and the fact that human behavior tends to ...

... the justice of Maycomb County and presiding judge at the Robinson trial. Other characters who belonged to this upper class were Miss Maudie At tkinson, an open- minded, kind woman, and Miss Stephanie Crawford, the renown gossip of the town. The second class in Maycomb County included the blue collar , white workers, primarily farmers who struggled to make ends meet. The Cunninghams, Dolphus Raymond, and the mysterious Radley family represented this group. The third class of Ma ycomb County were the " white trash". The Ewells, who lived at the dump, and relied on welfare for survival, were members of this group. It is important to note ...

... one of the most popular figures in 19th Century English literature. The embodiment of Haliburton’s love affair with the Yankee qualities of thrift, hard work and ingenuity, Slick was for Haliburton the perfect foil to the typical Nova Scotian’s laziness, lack of enterprise and obsession with colonial politics. What made Slick so highly popular was that the stories were written in an episodic format as a series of homilies that could stand on their own. More important even than that is that the lesser characters never overshadow the central theme of the episode; there is no personality (other than Slick) that outweighs the message or that is not easily recogn ...

... of life; it delivers no fashionable or comforting messages. It is just a master piece" (Bruccoli Preface). The Great Gatsby was a book that was written for a younger audience, and written by an author of his time period (Bruccoli ix). The biographical influences of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby are shown through not only Nick Carraway's dedication to achieving wealth, but also in the very vivid comparisons between Daisy Buchanan and Zelda Fitzgerald, and between Jay Gatsby and Fitzgerald himself. In many of Fitzgerald's stories he uses his real life experiences, and in The Great Gatsby he chose to use some of his wife's experiences to make the cha ...

... society believes that money can buy happiness. Jordan, a character of The Great Gastby, explains this theme when she says, “Gastby bought that house so that Daisy would be just across the bay” (79). Gatsby Himself later states “She only married you because I was poor…It was a terrible mistake.” (131). These quotes explain Gastby’s belief, that if he becomes rich, he will be able to obtain love from Daisy. This is quite contrary to the ideas of Ben Franklin represented in this quote “Content makes poor men rich; Discontent makes rich men poor”, this quote explains that life itself is the reward, not ...

... as the commander of a Navy hydroplane. He imagines that the plane is in trouble but the the members of the crew have complete faith in his ability. Referring to Mitty, one member of the crew says, "'The Old Man'll get us through'" (Thurber 63). Mitty is brought back from this daydream by his wife's voice, as she says, "'Not so fast! You're driving too fast! . . . What are you driving so fast for?'" Here the reader sees the sharp contrast between the daydream and real life. In the daydream, Mitty has the full respect and admiration of the passengers of his imaginary hydroplane. In real life, his only passenger, his wife, scolds him for not driving pro ...

... from college. That was when he realized he was not very important to anyone. During the middle of the novel, the narrator's visibility fluctuates; this symbolizes a change. He is slowly realizing that he is really invisible to everyone. When the narrator was speaking with Mr. Emerson about a job, Mr. Emerson said "…I happen to know of a possible job at Liberty Paints. My father has sent several fellows there…You should try--" and the narrator's reply was a shut door. This shows that the narrator knows he is not entirely visible or important to everyone. He had then realized that he is just a player in a game. In the end of the novel, the narrator sees ...
