... truly depict the nature of a person. Actions are the entire external existence of humankind. In most cases our actions reflect our intentions. Although actions are only temporary and do not reflect the entire nature of a person, if people's actions are concluded to be predetermined than it must also be accepted that so is the will of all human beings. In Hume's view, the limits of the mind are equal in every human. Causation in our nature arises almost entirely from uniformity. It should not be expected that because of this uniformity that all humans would act exactly the same in the same circumstances. An allowance must be made for, "the diversity of charact ...

... "I can make you so wretched." (pg. 162) Trying to scare Frankenstein for not creating his mate the monster resorted to threats. If the good doctor does create a companion for his first creation he may be endangering others. "The miserable monster whom I had created," (pg.152) says Victor upon looking back at his work. If there is another monster there will be twice the power and possibly twice the evil, which could hurt or kill his family. When and if Frankenstein commits the moral sin of creating another monster he may be rid of both monsters forever. "With the companion you bestow I will quit the neighbourhood of man,"(pg 142 ...

... between a man and a woman and who in fact may have the leading role, is only mentioned by name, he is not in the story itself. The essay will also show that a romantic tension between the principal characters can only be experienced once in the whole story. In chapter two Katharine Anne Porter's short story Rope will be discussed and the fact will be proved that an insignificant incident can lead to very serious violence and various kinds of tensions between a married couple. In addition the tension comes into being through what is not said that is through repressed feelings. I will also speak about the fact how persons through mental violence come back to the ' ...

... towards her, and sometimes it annoyed him to suspect that she did not feel at all. He said to himself that she was too light and childish, too uncultivated and unreasoning. Then at other moments he believed that she carried about in her an elegant and perfectly observant consciousness from the impression she produced. He asked himself whether Daisy’s defiance came from the consciousness of innocence or from her being, essentially, a young person of the "common" class. After getting to know Daisy, he was confused about getting to know his and her emotions. It is far evident that Winterbourne does not come to conclusions about people easily. He was very ...

... is required to revolve around one and only one main character if the writing is to be effective. With S. of C. writing it is also required that the author develop the main character extremely well into a very believable person both emotionally and physically through thoughts and actions. To write an effective book in this writing style an author must be exceptionally talented, and thankfully Mr. Salinger is just that. The S. of C. writing style is used effectively with the character of Holden Caulfield in The Catcher in the Rye because the story line Mr. Salinger developed follows Holden specifically as well as the fact that the subject matter of the book is one of ...

... to lead to Mary Rowlandson’s repression of anger, depression, and realization of change throughout her journey and more so at the end of it. The idea of food is constantly used throughout the Mary Rowlandson’s narrative, because it was the only essential need that she was concerned everyday to survive. Before the captivity, Mary Rowlandson was an innocent housewife that knew nothing of what suffering was like. She has always had plenty of food, shelter, and clothing. As a reader, you can see how her views towards the Indian’s choice of food gradually changes throughout her journey, and how it is related to the change in her own self. After tragically losin ...

... with his best friend Tom Sawyer. Huck’s days were filled with games of pretend that were supposed to be actual adventures. However, many of the adventures were figments of Tom Sawyer’s imagination. This is important to know since Tom’s description of an adventure is something that is not real and everything Tom reads contributes to the adventures him and Huck have. Huck’s adventures, though, are ones that are unforeseen and are probably are the more ‘real’ ones in the book. Huck’s schooling with the widow and Miss Watson are another element of his innocent childhood. He experienced what he called the ‘sivilized’ ...

... "Hills Like White Elephants" is a very short story, but has just as much meaning as any short story that I have read. The man and the woman are at a train station haveing a altercation about weather or not she should get a abortion. She does not want to. It is ovious in the things she says to the man. She says "I dont't care about me. And then I'll do it and everything will be fine"(1). She is saying that she only cares about him, and dose not care about herself. If she did care about herself, then she definatly would not get a abortion. She can not just tell him straight out that she wants to have this baby. The woman is so in love with the man, that she is wi ...

... in history which belongs particularly to him. It is the moment when his emotions achieve their most powerful sway over him, and afterward when you say to this person “the world today” or “life” or “reality” he will assume that you mean this moment, even if it is fifty years past. The world, through his unleashed emotions, imprinted itself upon him, and he carries the stamp of that passing moment forever. (32) This statement explains that Gene must have something that is his “stamp.” This stamp appears to define an individual-exemplifying what he stands for. It is found that this is true in the next paragraph where Gene continues, “For me, this moment-four years ...

... of his fellow animal… until Napoleon stepped in. Napoleon was a leader who led with an iron fist. A fist he used to secretly abuse his fellow animal. He began by raising several ferocious dogs to aid him in enforcing his rules, laws, and expectations. Using them, he abruptly ended Snowballs reign by using the dogs to exile him from the farm. Shortly after, he halted the construction of the windmill. More often than not he would cleverly work his way around the seven commandments by altering them to his pleasure. For example, “Now animal shall drink alcohol to excess.” Or “No animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets.” Napoleon gr ...
