... acted unresponsively and stupid. I think that she acted naturally, everyone has to once and a while spoils him or herself. She had for so many years worked and taken care of her children without ever thinking of herself. I think she needed to spend the money on herself to be able to cope with her everyday life. She always put her children first, but this time she thought of her own self-identity. The Need of Spoiling Yourself A dilemma that many people are familiar with is the questions whatever to save or to spend the extra amount of money they have in their pockets. Everyone has a desire to spoil themselves every once and a wile, because of the need of feeling ...

... be Gene and Finny’s personalities. Gene’s personality reflects on him that he is a very intellectual and shy person. While Finny’s personality enables him to be more outgoing and athletic. Because their personalities differ so much it would allow them to be the best of friends or the worst of enemies. In this paper I intend to prove that Gene’s personality was gradually changed during the story by Phineas’ more outgoing personality. While reading this story I was under the impression that Gene was a very smart person. Then once he began to spend time with Finny, the two boy’s personalities started to combine. Usually when this happened the boys did t ...

... his son. He shows that he cares for the land by thinking that "if he sang the proper songs, if he cared for the land faithfully, it would not forsake him now..."(82) Chee is trying to grow food and he thinks that if he cares for the land and respects it that the earth would in turn make the food grow well. Another way to show this is how Chee thought that if he "Take care of the land and it will take care of you."(81) Chee cared and respected the land and in turn the land gave him food for which he would to barter back Little One from Old Man Fat. Chee treats the land as an equal. "he felt so strongly that just now this was something between himself and the land." ...

... absurd and unheard of anymore. Second of all it would be nearly impossible to ban books because how liberal free speech has become and is becoming. Another idea that is very wrong is the idea of intellectual and scholars being the criminals and the outcasts. Another difference that is rather large is the emphasis that Bradbury puts on the wall screen, three wall television type devices. Probably the biggest difference and the strangest is how Guy’s wife Mildred and the rest o f the country related to them as their “family.” Also how all the characters in the books could interact with the televisions by being in plays or shows. The TV could quite possibly be a way f ...

... to run away from their parents. Also, his decision to help Jim escape goes against the same morals. In his “adventurous” escape down the Mississippi, he begins to feel truly free. This is a feeling that is contrasted acutely of society's “oppression” of freedom, basically when he is on land. In Jim's and Huck's escape, they are able to build their trust and friendship for each other. However, at the same time he must leave behind societies ways... getting “sivilized, money, and “family.” Along Jim's and Huck's “adventure,” they have many conversations along the way. These conversations consist about their freedom, money, and superstition. In the s ...

... many people tried all their lives and didn’t succeed. For Richard going north was the main goal in his early life; but because of Mississippi’s racial indifferences Richard would be forever separated from whites, the tension would always be there and he would never trust a white person enough to let his guard down. Racial prejudice had indefinitely effected Richard’s early life. Racial prejudice often leads to physical violence. Richard’s life was invariably surrounded by racial tension and had often seen as well as experienced the hate violence. When Richard had once worked at a cheap clothing store in Jackson, he had seen the boss and his son drag a poor bla ...

... she would be looked down upon as if she were some sort of demon from Hell that committed a terrible crime. This would give her much mental anguish and grief. On the other hand, God's treatment of Hester for her sin was quite different than just a physical token: he gave Hester the punishment of a very unique child which she named Pearl. This punishment handed down from God was a constant mental and physical reminder to Hester of what she had done wrong, and she could not escape it 'Thou art not my child! Thou art no Pearl on mine!' (pg.99) At times Hester would get frustrated. In this aspect, Pearl symbolized God's way of punishing Hester for adultery. ...

... characters have brought them all together in this story. In the beginning of the story we met Macky and Sonia who were immigrant children and were lost in a big city. Most Mexicans believe that they shouldn’t trust anybody, especially the police. As soon as they arrived to the United States parents would tell their children never talk to strangers, not even the neighbors. The parents of Sonya and Macky gave them a set of rules which were “Rule one: never talk to strangers, not even the neighbor who paced up and down the hallways talking to himself. Rule two: the police, or “polie” as Sonya’s popi pronounced the word, was La Migra in disguise and thus should al ...

... take many forms. In the book The Scarlet Letter, By Nathaniele Hawthorne, The protagonist, Hester Prynne, is punished for an act of adultery. Her sentence was to bear a scarlet letter of "A" upon her bosom. This punishment is a form of public humiliation. In the 1620's this form of punishment was one of the severest sentences given. The people would want the guilty to suffer in front of his fellow man. To keep the person from hiding himself from his humiliation, they produced a device that would hold the hands and the head of the culprit in front of everyones view. According to Hawthorne,"There is no outrage more flagrant...than the culprit hiding h ...
