The Catcher In The Rye: Creative Writing Assignment
... sake, when it is hot outside they have fans that blow cold
water on them, sort of like an air conditioner. Some of these guys even have
the nerve to give up on a play or two. They can even admit to their fans
thatthey didn't want to get hurt or something really stupid like that and expect
them to still cheer for them. The worst part about actually going to watch a
game at the stadium rather than on TV is the prices. To buy a ticket for a
seat in the stadium really is not that bad, but after that they charge an arm
and a leg for whatever you buy. They do not let people bring their own food
into the game so when the spectators get hungry the sunuvabitch's charge ...

The Great Gatsby: Gatsby's Illusion Of Himself
... on. She is perfection
to him, something for which he can strive, so he puts all of his energy into
finding her again. He uses his inherited money to travel around the country,
searching; when he runs out, he goes into the drug business, then oil, then
liquor. He clips out articles about Daisy from every newspaper he can find; he
buys a huge, romantic house that he hopes will merit her approval. The parties
that he throws every night in hopes that she will come become almost famous for
their extravagance and the variety of people that come.
A result of this is that Gatsby creates an illusion around himself,
also. His past is shrouded in mystery and speculation: so ...

woman wants to break open of. Women image behind the bars, tries to
escaped from the control of men will eventually be twisted up. The lights
that shined through the window present the dominant of men. The wife
observes that patterns of the parts where lights shine right at it is the
non-active parts. It symbolizes women are more settle when men are

Call Of The Wild
... where he was to be trained as a sled
dog. There were other sled dogs that Buck came to know well, each with their
own unique personality. After only a short time of training, Buck was a sled
dog, traveling with the team of huskies and mix breeds from Dyea Beach, to the
town of Dawson. After several trips with Perrault and Francois, Buck was traded
to a gold seeking family. They knew nothing, or hardly nothing, about managing
a sled team. There trip began with a very bad start. The family had loaded up
their wagon with too much unneeded baggage, and it was top heavy. As the dogs
began to pull away and pull around a curve, the baggage tipped over along with ...

Of Mice And Men: Lennie And George
... in walk George and Lennie.
Lennie, a large, retarded, big man who has the mind of a little child,
and who loves to pet soft, pretty things, and George, a little man, who has
assumed the responsibility of taking care of his simpleminded friend Lennie,
are walking on their way to apply for a harvesting job on a nearby farm. The
two had been traveling together for quite some time now, which was very rare,
because most farm workers rarely have companions, but George and Lennie have
been together ever since Lennie's Aunt had passed away, and Lennie began to
follow George around everywhere.
Instead of hurrying to the farm that night, they stop by a stream to
camp in ...

A Tale Of Two Cities: Reversal Of Characters
... when he visited, and even pledged his life to her, and everyone she
loved. Carton changed even more dramatically when death on the guillotine was
approaching. He waxed philosophical about the future, and even quoted a few
scriptures. This is most certainly not the man first seen at the Old Bailey
with the sideways wig.
Another interesting change took place in the character of Madame Defarge.
She is first portrayed as a woman of principle who is helping her husband with
the revolution. However, Madame Defarge makes a startling metamorphosis from
supporting character to antagonist when she is revealed to be the shadow. She
is shown to be cruel and p ...

The Island Of Doctor Moreau: Could It Be?
... at sea I was taken to land where I tried to start a new life. It was very hard as I imagined that all that I saw was not as it seemed. I met a woman –a scientist- named Catherine Plumeria. I told her about the island and my experience on it. It was only a natural reaction from my story that she thought I was crazed. We sat and talked about it for hours until I finally convinced her that this did actually happen to me. She asked me if I had ever thought about going back to the island and I said no. I guess her curiosity had gotten the best of her because she said she thought that we should try to go back to the island to see what had become of it. I told her ...

Critical Summary: Descartes' Meditations I, II, And VI
... to know
is typical and substantiated. In the final paragraph of the section, he
comes down to what he believes is a necessary consideration in the search
for some fundamental knowable truth(s) - he supposes the existence of an
evil deceiver who may potentially deceive him in everything he appears to
observe and think about. His consideration of this is valid and necessary,
however I might point out one fault. The mere fact that he continues
optimistically in his pursuits after the considerations in this section
shows his implicit belief that he is not being deceived in his current or
future deliberations on the matter. This simple fact seems to contradict

interest each member of the population is meant to take in the others. One of the most prominent structures in the market place is the scaffold. “It was in short, the platform of the pillory; and above it rose the framework of that instrument of discipline, so fashioned as to confine the human head in its tight grasp, and thus holding it up to public gaze. The very ideal of ignominy was embodied and made manifest in this contrivance of wood and iron” (56). It was made clear that this structure was a symbol of punishment to the people, but it also came to be a symbol of sin, guilt, death, and release.
How did this structure take on so many ...

Metamophasis
... government of Czechoslovakia in an insurance post. In the story, Gregor’s father had very little respect for him, and Gregor had to work to pay off the family debts. That is an example of Gregor’s father’s control over his life and Kafka’s situation was similar. He eventually was forced to become a lawyer, whereas what Kafka wanted was a literary degree.
Franz Kafka made his character, Gregor, transform into an insect in the story. Nobody wants to associate themselves with an insect, which is a lowly creature, a pest, or nuisance. This symbolizes Kafka’s depression and his poor self image. Since his family treats the insect like an outcast, that must be ho ...
