... Thomas is going to be caught. The authorities will not let him escape. By leaving the house after the bones were located, Bigger basically announced his guilt to all of Chicago. The fact that he is black will not help either. That just makes him that much worse and that much guiltier. The white society already has him condemned and sentenced for life. What he did certainly was wrong, but it was accidental. He cannot run like this, because running makes him look worse. Right now he is trapped by his own inner fears and really has no other choice but to continue running until he gets caught. Nobody will spare him any mercy now. Actually, had he admitted right away ...

... simply, they stopped going to church, later fueling the accusations for the witch trials. Abigail did not want to make a big issue of what happened in the woods.

Peer pressure and her lust for revenge caused her to change her mind about starting the witch hunts. Grace played a key role in the disintegration of Salem Village. Characters’ feelings often changed . For example, Abigail decided that she was going to go ahead with the witc ...

... how professional they look, by their dress, and by the way they act when he first meets them. "The gentleman, a man of fifty, very high and very straight, with a mustache slightly grizzled and a dark gray walking-coat admirably fitted, both of which I noted professionally - I don’t mean as a barber or yet as a tailor" . In this story, the Monarch’s are portrayed as people who have a lot of self-respect and dignity, but do not have a lot of ego. The Monarchs are people who will not steal or beg because of their high standards, but will try other means of earning their living in an honest manner, such as cleaning, doing dishes, or other chores. They are exhi ...

... was obscured by a quantity of matted red hair"(Dickens 87). This common depiction of the Jew was accompanied by the stereotype that they had big noses and lured orphaned children into their filthy dens and turned them into derelicts. He was a thief because he did not have any skills, nor was he welcome anywhere. On the other hand, to describe Fagin in any other light would have to give the impression that Jews just might be humans after all. In reading this story, I discovered Fagin to be somewhat likeable and misunderstood. Though revolting to look at, having a repulsive disposition, and having manners and hygiene left to be desired I could not help but to feel ...

A victim, who died in the accident but came back to life that day, is out for revenge on the usher's son.

... controlled settlement and landownership in India would greatly outweigh the liabilities (IV, 20). If one looks at the last sentence of the previous paragraph, "Rammohan Ray preferred the company of learned shastric brahmans," one's puzzlement with the previously quoted paragraph only increases. What is the logical connection between this paragraph and the previous one? Where is the transition that will link the two? Also, the paragraph itself, obviously, is somewhat compressed; the author has not bothered to spell out his thesis clearly. There is a certain degree of editorial sloppiness too. For example, ""de facto", ""sarkar"," "ancien regime"" a ...

... Broadie, along with the other girls, treated Mary as their scapegoat. They blamed everything on her stupidity. Miss Broadie harshly accused her and blamed her for faults belonging to everyone, using her to make an example. Monica was known by all for her quick temper and her mind for mathematics. She was chosen, most likely, for little more than the fact that Miss Broadie knew that her parents would not have any problems. Miss Broadie never seemed to have an underlying scheme planed out for her, as she did with some of the other girls. Eunice was quite the same, seeming to have no purpose to the group, and the other girls wondered for some time why Miss Broadie had ...
