Fyodor Dostoyevsky's The House Of The Dead
... in Omsk, Siberia. He accepted his punishment
and began to regard many of the simple convicts as extraordinary people.
During his sentence, he became devoted to Orthodox Christianity.
The House of the Dead was initially published in Russia, 1860. Upon
initial examination of the work, it appears to be a stream of consciousness
account of Dostoyevsky's four years in a Siberian prison camp. But, upon
further review, it seems to be more an account of Dostoyevsky's personality and
attitudes through these years. In his first year in prison, Dostoyevsky “found
myself hating these fellow-sufferers of mine.” (305) His first day in prison,
several convicts approached hi ...

To Kill A Mockingbird: Character Analysis Of Jem
... kid and he feels
he should be doing older, more mature things.
Jem's beliefs change profoundly too. He used to believe in the
court system, something he had read about and was taught about by his
father, Atticus. But after the court convicts Tom Robinson of rape when
Atticus had clearly proven that Tom could not have done it Jem sees his
first real glance of corruption in the world. It upsets him as well as
making him see and believe in evils in the world, such as racism. His
beliefs in why Boo Radley stayed in the house all the time changed too.
When he was young he thought Boo was just crazy and that's why he stayed in
the house. But he comes to believe that B ...

Cry The Beloved Country: The Power Of Love
... than it is. Love is the same. One cannot help it if they love something. People or things can touch a person’s life, and they naturally grow to or learn to love it. There are different definitions of love, but the true definition lies with God.
People can spend their entire lives searching for more power. The thing that they must realize is that no amount of power will mean anything to God when it comes time for judgment. People base their lives too much on what material things they have, rather than what they have spiritually. They search for happiness in things like money and fame, but they are never fulfilled. It is impossible to find happiness in things ...

Wuthering Heights: Edgar And Heathcliff
... in search of
the same goal, Catherine.
Edgar is the calm element contrasted by the stormy element of
Heathcliff. Edgar represents beauty with his "blue eyes and even forehead",
while Heathcliff is the ugliness as "the little black haired thing". Edgar
and Heathcliff both show love for Catherine but for different reasons.
Heathcliff loves Catherine because she is "wild and a free spirit" and
wants to be with her forever, yet Edgar loves Catherine because she is his
wife and he wants to protect her from the evil Heathcliff. Heathcliff who
is as "rough as a saw-edge and hard as whinestone", is an outsider whose
soul is torn between love and hate, and, because of the ...

The Great Gatsby: The Destructive Effects Of Wealth
... astray from his wife. The fact that you have
money doesn't mean you can do whatever you please.
A marital relationship should be heavily based on love. I got none
of that love from Tom's and Daisy's marriage. Their constant irritating
remarks, and interruptions make it seem that there is no love between them.
They seem like a couple in their 80's who are sick and tired of each
other. The fact that they came from rich families probably attributed to
their snobby behavior.
The attitude in the first chapter showed a lot of the ugliness
attributed to wealth. Tom especially showed little and at times no sign
of a pleasant attitude while Nick visited his home. ...

Of Mice And Men: The Great Depression - The Uncommon Struggle Of All Men
... each morning with the question: "How am
I going to feed my family today?". If you had a job, or could find one,
you were very lucky and grateful.
My grandfather was the 11th of 12 children in his family and they
moved from Bridgeport, OK to "the city" of Edmond after the Depression hit
and he took any job he could find to help out with the monthly income and
payments. Many people did not cope with the dust bowl or the Depression
very well. The younger generation had to change its way of thinking. They
also had just changed the styles of everything in the 1920's (Roaring
20's!).
The styles had changed a lot from the 1920's. The younger
gener ...

Artificial Restraints In Lord
... becomes mutual. Without Jack and Ralph's problems, life would have been easy, and the 'darkness of man's heart' would not have been conveyed to the reader. Jack shows 'the darkness' and if he and Ralph had just been friends, there would never have been an opportunity for Jack to show this darkness which lurked beneath the surface.
Golding also uses the dead pilot conveniently against the boys - the way in which he is caught in the trees just in the right position to be caught by the wind and look like the beast and the way the wind picks up after Simon has let him down from the trees and carries him out to sea, so that the other boys cannot see that it wasn't a ...
