The Pearl
... the child, turning them away when they arrived at the door. Lastly they turned to the sea to seek their fortune. When Juana set sight on the "Pearl of The World." she felt as though all her prayers had been answered, if she could have foreseen the future what she would have seen would have been a mirror image of her reality. Juana's husband was caught in a twisted realm of mirrors, and they were all shattering one by one. In the night he heard a "sound so soft that it might have been simply a thought..." and quickly attacked the trespasser. This is where the problems for Juana and her family began. The fear that had mounted in Kino's body had taken control o ...

The Sun Also Rises Report
... as the “Lost Generation” a term credited to Gertrude Stein, who once told Hemingway: “That’s what you all are. All you young people who served in the war. You are a lost generation… You have no respect for anything. You drink yourself to death.”1 Many of these individuals tended to settle in Paris, a suitable conduit through which to pursue their new lifestyle. Content to drift through life, desperately seeking some sort of personal redemption through various forms of indulgence, these people had abandoned their old value system and heroes, only to find difficulty in finding new ones. A great deal of new literature was spawned in ...

Romeo And Juliet 2
... prejudice between
families got even worse, when Tybalt kills Mercutio. Also, in Act
five Scene three, Tybalt challenges Romeo to fight and Romeo kills
him. Which lead to prejudice between the families.

fight, which involves the Lord’s of both families and the Prince. No
death occurred, but the families attitudes against each other were
worse then before. Which ...

Brave New World - The Conflict Between Mond And The Savage
... things that are barely humans. All problems that occur can be "solved by standard Gammas, unvarying Deltas, uniform Epsilons. Millions of Identical twins. The principle of mass production at last applied to biology." Mass production of humans. This is one of the principle issues - treating humans like nothing, a "cell" in the "social body". Even as children they are spoken of in terms of mass production, when "the infants were unloaded".
If mass production of humans is harsh, their whole world is summed up in a few short sentences: "The world's stable now. People are happy; they get what they want, and they never want what they can't get. They're well ...

African Literature: In The Cutting Of A Drink And The Return
... build a fire. Then she would begin cooking porridge.
In the second section of the poem the speaker talks about waking up "out of the
nagging nightmare." Then the speaker describes his aunt a little bit more, "her
soft but husky call." In the last section the speaker talks about how kind his
aunt is to take care of his brothers and sisters while his parents "strayed to
the copper mines."
This poem makes me think about my grandma and all the wonderful things she
has done for me. The speakers aunt is an old fragile woman, "hoe-broken palms"
and "scrawny ribs." But she is also a very hard worker and loving person. Both
these things remind me of my grandma. ...

The Scarlet Letter 4
... had the effect of a spell, taking her out of the ordinary relations with humanity, and enclosing her in a sphere by herself." Hester did have have the opportunity of removing the scarlet letter only ifd she revealed the father of her child. For example, 'Woman, transgress not not beyond limits of heaven's mercy! hat little babe hath been gifted with a voice, to second and confirm the councel which thou hast heard. Speak out the name" cries Mr. Wilson" 'Never!' replies Hester. "It is too deeply branded. Ye cannot take it off. And would that I might endure his agony as wellas mine!" So as you can see she leaves the A on her bosom.
Hester was not the only one mis ...

Archetypes
... is intended by the author. Usually peace is follows. Like any work there is a rise a climax and a fall in the plot. War or conflict is usually the strongest in the climax and then the peace comes during the falling point.
In the play of Hamlet war is used many times as a archetype symbol.
Hamlet struggles with himself and in a way at war with himself. He shows a great deal of distress throughout the whole play.
When the ghost first appears to him, he is shocked. He does not know weather or not to believe what he is told. He is very weary about the whole situation. Hamlet constantly shows signs of tension with himself.
The famous “to be or not to be” soliloquy ...

The Odyssey By Homer
... know that he will be a good guest and that he is a proper gentleman. Menelaos shows that he to can be a good host and gives Telemachos food and shelter even when there is a wedding going on. He says "go and take out their horses, and bring the men in to share our feast". This shows that menelaos must be a good guest especially to give them shelter during a wedding. Menelaos also does not pressure Telemachos into answering any questions before he eats and enjoys the festivities; nor does he give any indication that he wants Telemachos to leave. He says "stay here in my mansion for ten or twelve days and then I will give you a good send off and a handsome gift, three ...

A Farewell To Arms 2
... with a book that has no conclusion, and FTA leaves a reader not only emotionally exhausted but also just as alone as Henry and with nowhere to go. The entire work was aware of where it was going and what was going to happen next, and then to stop the way it did was unfair. Now, I've read enough essays while deciding which would be the topic for my class presentation that I know many people see that the unfairness of life and the insignificance of our free will are apparently the most important themes in the book, but I don't agree. I also don't agree that it is a war story or a love story. Exactly what it is, though, is not clear to me. Can't art exist without ...

Analysis -- Buffy The Vampire
... in horror movies that use such creatures, but most movies that use these creatures (especially those containing vampires) almost always follow several rules. Examples of such rules are:
„h A vampire cannot enter a home unless invited first ¡V afterwards they are forever welcome.
„h Vampires can not come into contact with direct sunlight.
„h The only way to kill a vampire is to penetrate its heart with a stake.
These rules are also applied in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and some others are devised in order to enhance storylines. This would associate Buffy the Vampire Slayer with the horror genre, although there is more to the show than vampires: there are situations i ...
