Some of these episodes would include Huck faking his own death and Jim finding Pap's dead body lying in a boat. These analysts argue that children should be forbidden to read the publication. In this day and age, High schoolers should be able to handle the material offered in Twain's timeless edition. Many commentators protest that Huck Finn is pointless and without purpose.

... to trace how Jane progresses in her struggle for individuality, as well as for love. At Gateshead, it becomes apparent that Jane is terrifically self-willed and possessive of a fiery temper. An example of this is when Jane stands up to her aunt saying, "You think I have no feelings, and that I can do without one bit of love or kindness, but I cannot live so: and you have no pity" (Bronte, 68). Here, Jane makes her first declaration of independence, contending that she will no longer be a secondary member in the Reed household.

... in performing certain actions eventually brings about their tragic downfalls.

Vladimir and Estragon are waiting; waiting for Godot, to be exact; and Beckett wants the reader to feel a ...
