Antigone - Creon As A Tragic H
... that he has a weakness in which he tries to correct but is too late. His weakness is just like Romeo in that he is impulsive with his decision making. He never really sits down and thinks about things, instead he just says what comes to mind. In scene 3, line 118 he says you will never marry her while she lives, right after his first discussion about Antigone. In lines 142-150 he summarizes his plans for Antigone, in which he thinks of right after talking with his son. These two decisions decided the lives of two young people, but the impulsive Creon never thinks about that. In scene 5, lines 105-108 Creon tries to correct his impulsiveness with, "Come with me to th ...

The Great Gatsby: Nick Carroway A Good And Neutral Narrator
... end, Mr.Gatsby's dream still had not came true because Daisy did not break
up with Tom and go with him. It can be seen in the last chapter on the novel,
when Gatsby was murder, Daisy went to somewhere else with her husband, and did
not go to Gatsby's funeray.
I called up Daisy half and hour after we found him,
called her instinctively and without hersitation. But
she and Tom had gone away early that afternoon, and
taken baggage with them.
Therefore, Nick Carroway's analysis was right by these clear
observation.
However, Nick Carroway is a good narrator, he sees everything happen
and does not trus ...

Animal Farm Vs. Marxism
... began. Old Major’s role compares to Lenin and Marx whose ideas were to lead to the communist revolution. Animal Farm is a criticism of Karl Marx, as well as a novel perpetuating his convictions of emocratic Socialism. (Zwerdling, 20). Lenin became leader and teacher of the working class in Russia, and their determination to struggle against capitalism. Like Old Major, Lenin and Marx wrote essays and gave speeches to the working class poor. The working class in Russia, as compared with the barnyard animals in Animal Farm, were a laboring class of people that received low wages for their work. Like the animals in the farm yard, the people is Russia though ...

Frankenstein: Morality
... for not creating his mate the
monster resorted to threats. If the good doctor does create a companion for his
first creation he may be endangering others. "The miserable monster whom I had
created," (pg.152) says Victor upon looking back at his work. If there is
another monster there will be twice the power and possibly twice the evil,
which could hurt or kill his family. When and if Frankenstein commits the moral
sin of creating another monster he may be rid of both monsters forever. "With
the companion you bestow I will quit the neighbourhood of man,"(pg 142) promises
the morally corrupt monster to the doctor upon the completion of his partner.

A Worn Path: What Was Phoenix Jackson Doing Out There?
... and as though a whole little tree stood in the middle of her forehead..." (94), was the first description that the author gave describing how old she really was.
This brings me back to what kind of society did Phoenix Jackson live in, were there no other people that would make this long journey for this old lady or was there anybody at all. Maybe she was to shy to ask for help or she had to strong of a will and is "going to bend over backwards" for her grandson and will do whatever it takes to make sure that her grandson is healthy until she can not any longer. Another thing is the doctors and nurses know about the condition of her grandson and did nothing to help ...

Response To Civil Disobedience
... instances it is best when individual rights take priority over state authority.
Very often, the best authors, whether it be of a novel or an essay, clearly state their opinions and facts using various literary techniques and devices. From reading other Thoreau works, such as excerpts from Walden and Excursions, I was able to infer that he has his own unique, unmatched writing style. Most ordinary and banal writers start their essays with long, tedious descriptions of the point they are trying to convey. But like all great writers and thinkers, Thoreau begins his essay with a strong, captivating sentence: "That government is best which governs least" (222). Thor ...

Book Review: For Whom The Bell Tolls
... knows so much about the way
people work and think that he can spot when a man is about to fold. He is very
brave and cunning from what has been read so far and is very skilled at his job.
Jordan's guide in the jungle is a man of 68 years named Anselmo. Anselmo is
very agile and strong for his age and is a good guide. In addition to this, he
is also very wise and provides meaningful insight when a situation arises.
There has been no turning point in the book other than Robert Jordan
getting his mission orders which is really the beginning and not a turning point.
My personal opinion of the book so far is good. I like the usage of language,
the way a character ...
