... ever his leader said. The pigs also had trouble with the farmer's tame raven, Moses. Moses said that the rebellion was not a good idea. One day however, the rebellion did happen. After the animals had the farm secure, they made laws called the Seven Commandments. They were like our ten commandments. Then they renamed the farm from Manor Farm to Animal Farm. The pigs learned to read and write by looking at books in the farmhouse. They also learned many other things. The animals had to work even harder than before. They had to harvest the fields without any tools. The animals were still happy anyway because they were free from the farmers rule. An old donkey named B ...

... beginning about her wishes for the suitors to leave, and Odysseus’ nurse, who obediently washes his feet, are examples of the chauvinist mind set. Despite the unfairness of the period in which the story takes place, certain women try in their own way to rise above the binds of tradition and show feminine power. In The Odyssey, through cunning manipulation and plotting three women stand their ground in individual protests to get what they want; Penelope’s trickery in evading the impatient marriage proposals by suitors, Helen’s deceit over Menelaos during the Trojan War, and finally the control that Nausicaa seems have upon first meeting Ody ...

When Goodman Brown starts his voyage he knew what he was going in the woods to do, what he didn’t realize is that the same reason he went to the woods was the same reason as the towns people. When Goodman encounters Goody Cloyse in the woods he is shocked that he sees her out there “A marvel, truly, that Goody Cloyse should be so far in the wilderness at night fall.”(Hawthorne 98) When he learns of her travels and of how she is acquainted with the old man he is in disbelieve that a women that taught him religion is evil.

... people could get along and look out for each other, why can't we get along with people who are differnt than us. They made me realize that I could learn something from how to treat people who are differnt than me. What I also liked about it was the way they never stopped trying to reach their dream. This made me think that if they could work hard for there dream why can't I. It showed me that it does not matter were you come from or what you do, it is okay to dream and work as hard as you can to reach it . For all it shows for friendship and loyalty it also shows how sometimes you have to do things you never thought you would do. For example in the end when ...

The Black Box: Symbolic Of Death And Faded Traditions

... through the manner in which the box was stored. “The rest of the year, the box was put away, sometimes one place, sometimes another; it had spent one year in Mr. Grave’s barn and another year underfoot in the post office, and sometimes it was set on a shelf in the Martin grocery and left there.” Death is not something that people deal with everyday. Human beings deal with death very similar to the way that the towns people stored the black box. People place their experiences with death in different rooms and shelves of their hearts. The black box also symbolizes the need for a new tradition and the reluctance of the townspeople to accept change. The black box is ...

... the novel papa took a risk not because he thought he had to but he did it out of love. Many white people were gathered together and about to hang TJ because RW and Melvin framed him for robbing a store. Out of love for TJ Papa set the cotton field on fire to set up a distraction. The distraction worked but the novel isn’t clear on saying exactly if he lives or dies, but I think it leads more towards to TJ dying. Many risks were taken in this novel. Almost every character took a risk some of the risks came out positive and some came out negatively. I think papa and TJ’s risks were the biggest in the novel. The scary thing about this book was tha ...
