... and he was the murderer. An innocent woman (framed by the Monster) and a great friend of Elizabeth (Victor's cousin and future wife), was executed for the murder. This devastated the family (especially Victor, who accused himself). He set of to put an end to this creation. Victor finally met up with his monster in the mountains near a glacier. Here he listened to the monster's story. How he studied and grew to love this family living in a cottage. He wanted so immensely to be a part of their love and smiles.

From a mere seventy five post offices, scattered bout the Union, the number had soared to over twelve thousand. There were now twenty five hundred miles of canals, though none had existed while Washington was in office; and the railroads “ beginning only ten or twelve years ago, are ...

... seek out her individuality. David Thomas describes the initial image of Nora as that of a doll wife who revels in the thought of luxuries that can now be afforded, who is become with flirtation, and engages in childlike acts of disobedience (259). This inferior role from which Nora progressed is extremely important. Ibsen in his "A Doll's House" depicts the role of women as subordinate in order to emphasize the need to reform their role in society. Definite characteristics of the women's subordinate role in a relationship are emphasized through Nora's contradicting actions. Her infatuation with luxuries such as expensive Christmas gifts contradi ...

... Soldiers, because several main characters prevented me from getting bored and kept me reading to find out what was going to happen to each person next. I really enjoyed the profile of Louise Kahan a female Jewish American writer, because she is independent and strong willed. An example of her strength and belief in herself Louise did not instantly return to her ex-husband Oscar even though they both still loved each other, because she was strong enough to resist him and his womanizing ways. Piercy gave me a much better understanding of the cultural and social issues of the World War two era. I learned about the little struggles of working American women, such ...

... men also thought that they were punishing an evil person, Hester, because she had sinned, and offended God. If that was true, why would a mortal decide, and act as God for God? These men in power made Hester look bad, so people on town would think that they are better than Hester, and because of that they would not sin, or they will too, will be punished. When Hester was standing on the scaffold, she was being judged by everybody, and since humans are evil, than their response towards her were not be positive, but evil. A group of women were talking with each other, and deciding on a punishment for Hester: "'What do we talk of marks and brands, whether on the ...

... and fulfill ir own psychological and sexual drives. In Awakening, Chopin uses Edna Pontellier to show that women do not want to be restricted by roles that society has placed on m. Because of time she lived in, Edna felt oppressed just because she was a woman. Being a married woman and a mor made her feel even more tied down. By looking at relationship between Edna and her husband, Leonce, we see that men treated women as if y were nothing more than possessions or property. y had no respect for ir wives, mors, or even ir daughters as y constantly treated m like housemaids who were re to answer to ir every call. Even Edna's far thinks that his daughter is her h ...

... man, I knew about things, I could help him out, and then we’d be pals.” (Camus, 29) Meursault remains quiet in the conversation, but eventually does speak up: “I didn’t say anything, and he asked me again if I wanted to be pals. I said it was fine with me: he seemed pleased.” (Camus, 29) It really made no difference to Meursault if he was stated as a friend of Raymond’s or not. The way that Meursault does not contribute to the conversation and that it is just “fine with [him]” to be friends creates an image of indifference. This image continues to grow as Raymond continues to talk to Meursault. Raymond goes on ...

... to our own lives is risky. Her characters are fictional. The combinations of their actions and outcomes are entirely an invention of Kate Chopin reflecting what she wants to teach her readers. If Chopin has successfully convinced a reader that the characters are real or that they could be real, the reader is likely to apply what he has learned from this fable in his or her own life. With these assumptions in mind, one must apply the task of figuring out what she wants people to believe and how to behave as a result of reading her book. Edna, whose husband has held her like a piece of furniture, a piece of personal property, suddenly becomes aware she is a human ...

Scout also realizes that she wrongfully treated Boo when she thinks about the gifts in the tree. She never gave anything back to Boo, except love at the end.

... that neither I nor the day seemed in a mourning mood and I felt even annoyed at discovering in myself a sensation of freedom as if I had been freed from something by his death." ( Joyce, Dubliners 5-6) What he had felt freed from was always being under the constant supervision of the priest to do what he felt was righteous. It is not until the end of the story that the boy realizes from one of the Sisters, Eliza, about the priest madness as well as his physical and spiritual paralysis. He understands that the priest had been a living his life in a way he felt would be satisfying to the church which eventually led to his death. When The boy is fi ...
