Death Of A Salesman 10
... if they steal any more from that building the watchman’ll put the cops on them!...Willy: You shoulda seen the lumber they brought home last week...”(50). As one can see, Willy is almost encouraging Biff to steal in order to make a new stoop. However, when Willy finds out Biff has been stealing other things, like the school’s football, he seems shocked. “Willy: What is he stealing?...Why is he stealing? What did I tell him? I never in my life told him anything but decent things.”(40). Because of the lack of morals, Willy had made it extremely difficult for Biff to love him, especially when he caught him with a women other than h ...

Another instance of foreshadowing is the revenge of the poor people against the aristocrats. When Dickens writes, “there [is] a flutter in the air that fan[ ...

Jonathon Swift
... the drought of food and necessities the reader can get an idea of the suffering on going in Ireland; this brings the reader to see that instead of keeping the children their parents should either eat them or sell them on an open market. By wasting the scarce food in Ireland, the people are killing themselves; thus the children can be consumed saving food and at the same time making food. It is interesting to see how well Swift conveys his view towards the poor in this odd manor. Swift sees how the poor are treated by the affluent who may think that the impoverished are the reason for Irelands food problems. In fact, the entire essay is nothing more than sarcastic ...

Thou'rt poison to my blood. (I.I.126)

A Town Like Alice: Discussion
... the book is the Australians, whose culture is rather close
to the English, but there are few Englishmen who would have liked the
loneliness in the big country Australia, and even fewer Australians, (I
think), would feel comfortable in the crowded England.
Another example in the book that is more about religion and culture is the
Japanese soldier who walked with the girls in Malaya when they got the

the fever he doesn't fight it and he dies. This is a mentality that is or
maybe was very common in Japan. A person from th ...

The Yellow Wallpaper 3
... paper parallels her mental state at this point. Desperately attempting to unravel the
mystery she imagines in the wallpaper, she becomes obsessed with deciphering its meaning. As her illness progresses, she begins to hallucinate and finally concludes that there is a woman trapped within that “pointless pattern.” Jane knows that she is the only
one who can see the woman and, therefore, the woman’s only chance of freedom.
Slowly detaching from reality, Jane becomes the woman within the paper not only because of her obsession with it, but because of its parallel to her own life. In her final step toward insanity, she tears the paper off the wall ...
