... of others.(In order to understand things better we need to do less scholarly work and read more into the signs of nature). In a situation where a boy must make his own jackknife he learns more than another boy who is taught how to do the same work and merely given a jackknife. The boy who has done his own work has achieved the knowledge through experience; he has learned more because he has had to teach himself what to do. The other boy is merely a parrot mimicking the strategy of someone else, he hasn’t had to apply his own thoughts to the work, and he has only had to copy someone else’s work. Thoreau emphasizes his point on learning through experience and ...

... restless nights and she would rub her fingers in his hair in order to soothe him. It is surprising that the only genuine affection in the novel is shown by Mimi towards Thurber and Brian. I may be thinking critical but why wouldn't Mimi do the same for her husband Everett when he was having sleeping problems. Sometimes it is enough just to comfort another person, without having to talk about their problems and just to let them know your there for them. Mimi decides to confront her husband Everett, like any good mate she becomes concerned and questions him. Her job focuses on better understanding people through her patients talking openly. But when Everett re ...

... the animals, and alludes each one to a counterpart in Russian history. A Tale of Two Cities also typifies this kind of literature. Besides the central theme of love, is another prevalent theme, that of a revolution gone bad. He shows us that, unfortunately, human nature causes us to be vengeful and, for some of us, overly ambitious. Both these books are similar in that both describe how, even with the best of intentions, our ambitions get the best of us. Both authors also demonstrate that violence and the Machiavellian attitude of "the ends justifying the means" are deplorable. George Orwell wrote Animal Farm, ". . . to discredit the Soviet system b ...

... fear of the mob. Although some witnesses were almost family with the victim they will not be a canary or pigeon to squeal.

... red light, but I had lived with people that hardly deserve that title, people that became animals, people that were worse than animals - murderers. And I myself, was one of them. I was slowly getting better, but I never got through a night without hearing the chant and Simon's furtive screams as we jabbed, attacked and mauled him, without seeing Piggy's fat body flying into the air and then crashing down on the rocks. I had never recovered from those experiences and at no time had a job. I live in a small, damp apartment above a coin laundry. The greatest pleasure I had in life was feeding the pigeons in the park. I would get what stale bread I could from the ...

... a distinction between Christ and the Rood. Therefore, the Rood appears as a metonymic figure which represents the Christ¡¯s suffering but it does not represent Christ. In fact, the Rood assumes the role of Christ as it demands people to worship it. In this poem, the Rood appears as an Anglo-Saxon hero. However, the Rood fails to share the Christian beliefs when it declares the entity of God along with Christ. Although Christ and the Rood shared the ¡°innocent¡±¡¯ suffering together, this does not provide an adequate explanation for the Rood to become a replacement of Christ. Indeed, the Rood appears as a hero in the Anglo-Saxon society for it reflects the ...

... tragedy. Aristotle states that tragedy is “an imitation of an action that is serious, complete, and of a certain magnitude”(p. 22). Hamlet is an excellent example of this. The play centers around Hamlet’s quest to avenge his father’s death, this is a serious action. It is also complete in the sense that all the loose ends are tied together in a sensible, believable manner. Hamlet is able to avenge his father’s death by killing his uncle. Shakespeare also follows Aristotle’s idea of the tragedy being of a certain magnitude. The characters are supposed to be the most perfect people whom the audience can still relate to. Hamlet is a wealthy prince, ...
