... decisions; Huckleberry Finn represents every man. A major problem, abortion, is an example of an inescapable dilemma that plagues modern man. In abortion, the doctor is faced with a difficult decision. Should he take the life of an unborn child? But what if the child was deformed, or was otherwise going to be born into a possibly unhealthy environment? Isn't taking away the opportunity to live life morally wrong? There are many more questions that face the doctor as well as the mother of the fetus. So, as the mother and the doctor are faced with this dilemma, sometimes what they feel is morally correct is not legal- as abortion is illegal in certain states. ...

... work is done in the afternoon. He was a very nervous and anxious man who had to take all of his anxiety out in the short period of time in the morning. He had to do this before he could concentrate and settle down to do his work. Unlike Turkey he did not need the alcohol to have these two sides to his personality. This was just part of his own personal existence. When the narrator hires Bartleby he is thinking and hoping that this is a man who can work at his best for the whole day. Nippers and Turkey might be here therefore to show us that the narrator is going to have the same problems with Bartleby. Nippers and Turkey also give us something to compare Bartelby ...

... His works do not all contain the same attitude, but do have the same concepts of the lives of the common black folk (ALCU 313). “The Negro Speaks of Rivers”1 and “Harlem (A Dream Deferred)”2 are two examples of Langston Hughes’ artistry in poetic expression that can be dissimilar while still expressing the same views on the tribulations of African-Americans. “Harlem (A Dream Deferred)” is short, to the point and opens up Langston Hughes’ world of symbolism. In writing this, Mr. Hughes used symbolism so extensively that when most individuals read it, they do not grasp the true intent of each word. The images that Hughes conveys in Harlem are “sensory, domestic, ...

... to his family alive. When Farqhuar ended up in the water, he used very smart moves to get himself as far away from the guards watching on the bridge as he could, before he went up for air. He was now like a fugitive, and he had to be very alert. We all are fugitives at some point in our lives. I have been running away from things often in my life. Never had I been in a life and death situation like Farqhuar but still it is not a good and easy situation to handle. The ending as sad as it is brings out the truth. One can never be safe forever. Eventually we will get caught no matter where we run too. In Farqhuar's situation he fled far from danger, but was caught r ...

... description for the characters. In most books, a mental image can be formed of the characters, but in Hemingway’s novels, the physical portion of the image is hard to form. Both of the books also seemed to lack closure and resolution at the end. The endings left the reader to believe that none of the events that occurred during the story had any effect on the characters. In both books, the characters went on living as they always had. Even with all the similarities in the two novels, there was plenty of room left for differences. The setting was one noticeable difference. In The Sun Also Rises, the setting changed a lot. It moved from country to country, and fro ...

... many similarities between the protagonists: Gene and John. By examining their attributes and relationships with their friends, one can tell that both these protagonists are somewhat comparable. They both have a guiding figure as a friend who is there to indicate them. Finally, the relationships between the protagonists and the guiding figures are the one in which the protagonist is truly guided and complimented by his best friend. The protagonist in one book is similar in nature to the one in the other book, i.e. Gene Foster from A Separate Peace and John Wheelwright from .

... & P policy” especially since “the women generally put on a shirt or shorts or something before they get out of the car into the street”. An example of Sammy’s imagination is exemplified through his description of the other shoppers in A & P. Sammy refers to the shoppers as “sheep” twice in the story. Once as he views the customers continuing to push their carts down the aisle only glancing slightly at the girls and continuing to shop. Sammy “bets you could set off dynamite in an A & P and the people would by large keep reaching and checking oatmeal off their lists and muttering…” The second time is when the girls go to the check out lane and Lengel starts to ...

... aid in her restraint. Representing the dominance of masculinity over the restrained female, Jane observes the female figure, who looks as if she is behind bars, in the pattern of the wallpaper (1156). The woman who unsuccessfully attempts to climb out of the pattern symbolizes Jane’s frivolity in trying to alter feminine societal roles (1158). Significantly, the maternal instincts of Jane remain enslaved due to her surroundings. The nursery, containing windows “barred for little children,” represents the suppression of Jane’s motherly duties (1150). Jane is unable to take care of her own baby. The garden which Jane can view through her barred windows, stan ...

... chose to let the outcome go unaltered. On the other hand, Zeus's wife, Hera, displayed the more typical actions of a god. After Paris, a Trojan, judged Aphrodite the fairest over Hera, and, after her daughter Hebe was replaced as cupbearer to the gods by a young Trojan boy, she was quite resentful towards Troy and its people. Obviously she sided with the Greeks and would stop at no length to express her will. Scheming and manipulating she even dared to trick her husband, King of the Gods. Hera, along with Athena, who was also passed over by Paris, is seen as the chief divine aid to the Greeks. Being the god of the sea ...
