... he "drove the scissors into his parent's leg."(pg11) He had tried to kill them. Even though this may have been just a rumor the kids were terrified of the Radleys. They described him often as a monster "six-and-a-half feet tall" with "bloodstained" hands. He was said to eat "raw squirrels and any cats he could catch".(pg12) During the rest of the book Scout and companions tried to meet Arthur (Boo) and get over their fear of him. They did not succeed. But he showed affection for them by leaving them gifts in a tree. Finally at the end of the book he proves he is a good person by saving Scout and Jem's lives. In this instance Scout may have found that to negatively ...

... It is obvious that Jean Rhys meant to write her novel as a prequel to Jane Eyre, as if to expose the truth behind the madness of the madwoman in the attic, by giving Antoinette a voice. In Chapter XXVI of Jane Eyre, Charlotte Brontë describes Bertha Mason through Mr. Rochester’s speech in the interruption of his wedding with Jane. “Bertha Mason is mad; and she came of a mad family, idiots and maniacs through three generations!”(Brontë). Later, in the same chapter, she is further described as having a “discoloured face”, “a savage face” with “fearful blackened inflation of the features”, “the lips were swe ...

... being superior to the secular class. Martin Luther disagrees with this “human invention” and states that according to the Bible, “…there is no difference among [the religious and secular classes] except insofar as they do different work.” Therefore, all men are equal no matter their class, and the popes, bishops, priests, princes, and lords are only people appointed to rule. Luther undermines the first wall, and further weakens the Church by striking the second. The pope’s duty is to interpret the Holy Scriptures. The people follow the pope because he has a sincere understanding of the Bible. However there is no proof that the pope has the greatest understand ...

... to Wuthering Heights as a dirty, ragged, gypsy boy, by Mr. Earnshaw, the master of Wuthering Heights. The orphan child is baptized with the name Heathcliff, the name of an Earnshaw baby that died at birth. As Heathcliff grows up, he is compared to a “cuckoo” by Mrs. Dean. A cuckoo is a bird who comes into a nest and takes the place of the natural siblings. Heathcliff, like a cuckoo, is an intruder who takes the place of a natural offspring and becomes the sole focus of the family. This circumstance foreshadows a life of a child who tries to be something that is impossible. Heathcliff can never be more than what he is. He can never be accepted as a ...

... their innocence from the dangers of adulthood. In chapter 16 we have the first reference to the meaning of the novel's title, The Catcher in the Rye. Holden hears a little boy singing to himself a verse which makes Holden very happy: "If a body catch a body coming through the rye," (Page 115). It is difficult to understand why Holden is made happy by the little boy's singing unless one has an idea of what the song means to Holden. The little boy is described by Holden in gentle caring terms: "The kid was swell. He was walking in the street, instead of on the sidewalk, but right next to the curb. He was making out like he was walking a very straight ...

... creature, whose innocent life had sprung, by the inscrutable decree of Providence, a lovely and immortal flower, out of the rank luxuriance of a guilty passion “ (62). Hawthorne calls Pearl a “creature” which shows that she immediately has a label of an outcast or something other than human. Hawthorne’s use of the word “creature” implies that Pearl stands out in her society and shows the obviousness of her label as an outcast. He then calls Pearl a “lovely and immortal flower” which shows her physical beauty, which is ironic because he has already labeled her a “creature”. Hawthorne uses description and symbolism to show how Hester Prynne feels about her daught ...

... of its culture and heritage. Hurston even used reference to Jewish people in this story. They also were slaves and were faced with over four hundred years of hardships and inequalities. It has not been known for the people of the Jewish faith to be insulted by the Bible which tells their stories. In fact, they use it as a way of life. It serves as a learning tool that proved how strong they were and how much suffering they had to endure. When they are faced with problems they relate back to stories, just as this, to find that strength once again. Mrs. Hurston, being a African American herself, should have the right to tell a story of her heritage without ...

... the novel, by the French commoners and especially by Madame Defarge when it came to Charles Darney being an aristocrat and the suffering of her own family.

... the animals, and alludes each one to a counterpart in Russian history. A Tale of Two Cities also typifies this kind of literature. Besides the central theme of love, is another prevalent theme, that of a revolution gone bad. He shows us that, unfortunately, human nature causes us to be vengeful and, for some of us, overly ambitious. Both these books are similar in that both describe how, even with the best of intentions, our ambitions get the best ofus. Both authors also demonstrate that violence and the Machiavellian attitude of "the ends justifying the means" are deplorable. George Orwell wrote Animal Farm, ". . . to discredit the Soviet system by show ...
