... River constantly flowing nearby. Here nature is presented as a thought provoking environment when experienced alone. The river is quiet and peaceful place where Huck can revert to examine any predicament he might find himself in: "They went off, and I got aboard the raft, feeling bad and low…Then I thought a minute, and says to myself, hold on,- s'pose you'd a done right and give Jim up; would you felt better than you do now? No, says I, I'd feel bad…" (p.127). Only a few weeks with Jim and still feeling great ambivalence, Huck returns to the river to think. Twain tries here to tell the reader how strong the "mob" really is, and only when totally alone ...

... themes are so closely related that one action can explain several themes at once. By the end of the story, each one these themes has been contradicted by his characters. When Marquez did this, he meant to go a step further and make the reader look at the hypocrisy of the town. Fate was used as an excuse for not intervening or warning Santiago Nazar of his murder. Instead they said that “it was if he was already dead” . One person attempted to warn him by slipping a note under his door but he never got around to seeing it. That is another reason that the people believed fate got him there. Santiago Nazar died with dignity because when he falls on the ground ...

... his tutor, that include exactly what he needs to learn. An example of the kind of experiences given to Arthur is when Merlyn turns him into a fish in order to let him explore.

Merlyn had a very interesting philosophy, which I agree with, he told Arthur "The way to learn it's by listening to the experts." This quote leads to another of the many experiences Arthur had, the one with the hawks. This one was only so that Arthur had a chance to see other's point of view and ...

... of the real situation this planet and its ecosystems are facing, as a direct result of man. The statistics that have been compiled for '' are alarming. This is evident considering: fifty percent of the Earth's species will have vanished inside the next 100 years; mankind is using almost half of the energy available to sustain life on the planet, and this figure will grow as population jumps in the next 50 years from 6 billion to approximately 10 billion. Now, with the use of satellite imagery of much of the world's surface, doubts have been laid to rest about whether such alarming statistics are of real concern. The answer is beyond a reasonable doubt that a ...

... iron, its general shape suggested it's original design: square, with four tiny rooms opening onto a shotgun hall, the cabin rested uneasily upon four irregular lumps of limestone. Its windows were merely open spaces in the walls, which in the summer were covered with greasy strips of cheese cloth to keep out the varmints that feasted on Maycomb's refuse." This description paints a very vivid picture of the cabin and also tells a little bit about the Ewells themselves. From this we can infer that the Ewells took very little (if any at all) pride in their home and it's appearance. Later in the passage Lee adds, "What passed for a fence was bits of tree limbs, b ...
