... in your own time and don't mess up the rugs." William feeling that he is without a friend goes to the extreme. Henri, on the other hand demonstrates the need for companionship as well as the need to be alone for periods of time. Living in a boat with a "cramped cabin and the lack of a toilet" results in driving his girlfriends away. He repeatedly experiences loneliness. However, after he becomes used to the idea of being alone, Henri "felt a sense of relief." By eating what he wants and "free of the endless biologic functions for awhile," Henri shows that it is unhealthy to need constant companionship and being alone can help a person rejuvinate. Frankie is all alo ...

... a different effect on everybody. Some people will see things in a different way than other people see them, unlike in television. H.D. was one of the first writers to use imagery. Inspired by Ezra Pound, H.D. once wrote in her poem titled "Heat": Cut the heat- Plow through it, turning it on either side of your path. The reader can clearly see the heat being pushed out of the way by an opposing force. The reader can also imagine the turbulence created by this force. The heat becomes thick, as if it is a solid object. William Carlos Williams used simple language in his poetry. In "The Red ...

... Only Gastby, was exempt from my reaction"(6). He said that he gave this a reason because Gatsby was, basically, everything Carraway hoped to be. I thought a while before I gave my reply. I explained to him that life was about how rich a man was in experience, not how much material he has. He kind of shrugged it off like it was a cheap psychiatrist line. The more he told me about Gastby, it seemed the more he felt he needed to emulate him. He then began to talk of a Mr. Tom Buchannan. Tom was not to Carraway’s liking. He seemed harsh and too masculine to have any relation in Nick’s life. Nick is simple, innocent, and he is just starting out. From what he ha ...

... and that is like animals. The rich treat them as though they are inferior and that they have no feelings or any form of intelligence. They are also not given the right to vote, which makes them not citizens of that nation. This theme is universal because every nation in the world has some sort of outcasts in their land. In America, this theme can be related to the blacks. In the beginning of the twentieth century they did not have as much rights and oppurtunities as the whites. Another example of how this theme can be related to America is how a person with a southern accent is perceived as less intelligent, which is a false misconception. The theme - ...

... god than man”.But when his friend Enkidu died, Gilgamesh was troubled for not having his companion around, like the human beings, Gilgamesh search for eternal life to bring his friend back to life. I believed the most significant differences in both pieces is the search for immortality. In the Epic of Gilgamesh, when Gilgamesh found the miraculous plant that gives immortality to anyone who eats it, a great snake steals from him. Like in the Old Testament, God ordered Adam and Eve not to eat the Is there really an eternal life like what everyone is searching for? In the Epic of Gilgamesh, the people considered natural catastrophes to be work of the gods. The gods, ...

... did Zeena trap Ethan into marriage; he stays trapped for the rest of his life. Finally, Ethan’s love for Mattie forces them both in a permanent state of disability. It is not Ethan’s cowardice, which kept him from achieving his goals; he is trapped. Ethan was not always trapped. When he was younger, he actually went to college. “…he [Ethan Frome] had taken a year's course at a technological college at Worcester…” (p. 35) it says in the book. In fact, things were looking his way when his father died. He had to go home and take care of his mother. It would have been very cruel and selfish for him to neglect his sickly mother and stay in school. This was the ...

... and disgusting, all because they are different. The illustration in the novel when Jim descried an African-American child as a Negro head yet almost no head at all without anything behind their ears but folds of neck under closed-clipped wool (page 118). Another situation was when Jim descried an African-American woman as a buxom Negro wench (page 119). Including the part where Jim describes that, Lapland women were fat and ugly with squint eyes (page 154). I have seen these situations usually in a verbal fight of two people of different races. They would try to hurt each other by verbally throwing inferior describing at each other's ethnic background or physi ...

... is not ignorant or innocent by choice, rather, because of her frail condition she has been brushed off by adults and has never outgrown her childish ways. As the narrator, Capote recounts memories of good times; the times before his family members decided that home was not where he belonged. Overall, the story is bittersweet because there is joy to be found in the simplicity of the three friends’ happiness. However, after this specific Christmas, Capote is forced to move out of his house and to leave his innocence behind. The story is not purely self-serving because Capote uses this piece not only to revisit his memories of happier times, but to also evoke the memo ...

... to his letters to his daughter Scotty, he did finally realize this but not until too late. He realized that she demanded to much from him. She expected everything to be done for her, because that's what she was used to. Gatsby couldn't keep that up, she was sucking everything out of him, including his other dreams and goals. That is what ultimately ended their marriage. Gatsby's goals are also based on this poem. After he had come back from the war, and found Daisy married to Tom, he dedicated his life towards his dream of having Daisy again. Everything he did from that point on was for her. After making as much money as possible, Gatsby bought an elab ...
