... on these children”(15). “There is a murderous witch among us,” he vehemently cries out(16). His action isn’t surprising because he has lost seven newborns and his Ruth is sick. He wants to hunt down the witch, but he needs some aid. He lays his eyes on Parris because Parris is the minister and Betty is also ill. Thus, Putnam tries to coerce Parris to witchcraft. “Declare it yourself,” Putnam tells Parris, “you have discovered witchcraft”(16). At this point, Putnam captures everyone’s attention, and then he strikes. Thomas Putnam is behind the accusations toward many people. “Did you ever see Sarah Good w ...

... as a foundation for the entertainment of his writings such as this quote he said about foreigners in The Innocents Abroad: "They spell it Vinci and pronounce it Vinchy; foreigners always spell better than they pronounce." Even in the opening paragraph of The Adventures of Clemens states, "Persons attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot." There were many groups that Clemens contrasted in The Adventures of . The interaction of these different social groups is what makes up the main plot of the novel. For the objective of discussi ...

... then barely escapes his punishment to join a group of people who attempt to preserve knowledge through memorization. At the beginning of the novel Guy Montag is described as a "minstrel man" (4). He is a fireman who "never questioned the pleasure of watching pages consumed by flames." (Back cover). He is a brave individual who decides to rebel against society. Montag meets a crazy and imaginative seventeen-year old girl named Clarisse McClellan. She tells him of a time when firemen used to put out fires instead of making them. After that, Montag and the other firemen burn a house filled with books and burn its owner. "They crashed the front door and grabbed at ...

... in Charlotte�s Web, is what we might expect to see from a human being. Her spinning of the web with a word or two in it is not common activities for spiders. While examining the animal�s actions, partially sheds light on the stories that we are reading. It helps unravel the ideas and advance the plot. It does not however, give us insight into the behaviour, specifically the god-like actions that demonstrate anthropomorphism in both these novels. While all the characters in both these novels are earthly there is usually at least one in each that has some God-like character traits. The anthropomorphism that we see in Charlotte is the prime example being examined ...

... type of job exactly, as I haven�t yet decided on a major or job, but I know I want some type of a leadership role. I also want to be able to utilize my language and problem-solving skills, while working my way up the corporate ladder. Secondarily, in order to achieve these goals I�ll also need real experience in my job field in order to see what it�s like. I�ll need to learn how to work out plausible solutions to problems, (whether they are in my law firm, in my company, global, or something else entirely different that I may decide along the way) along with my future colleagues. An INROADS experience would help me achieve my goals, by giving me the experience th ...

... and has noticed the many changes that have been going on in his life, and is unwilling to accept them. Now that Leroy has been sitting home and wasting his life away, he has started to take time and ponders his past.

Norma Jean has decided to continue on with her life and not reflect o ...

... and religion, for most, are the mental constructs that give us some sense of control over this obscure universe. The most significant aspect of this fictional society is the belief of a “Second Coming.” This shows great similarity to present day society simply because of the huge percentage of Christian followers who also believe in a “Second Coming.” The Reverend Jimmy-Don Gilray, a major character in the book, is convinced that God will send a messenger to arrive on earth on January 1, 2000 in a spaceship. Using television, the smooth preaching Gilray manages to herd the followers in like cattle by the thousands. The words roll off o ...

... the fact that he is repeatedly called honest; I will be commenting on these throughout my essay. He is much like the character 'Vice' from 'miracle plays' of the 16 and 17th Century that tell the audience what their plan is, and so they all become fellow conspirators in a way. This was done well in the production I saw in Manchester, as the actor playing Iago was good and convincing at talking to the crowd and making us realise that it is the enemy within we should fear most. Some people could argue that Iago was extremely lucky to have all the opportunities put in front of him, such as Emilia finding Othello's handkerchief. I, however believe that whate ...

... the army awakened, and began to tremble with eagerness at the noise of rumors" (43). The fog clears to reveal a literal green world of grass. It also reveals another green world, the green world of youth. Like schoolchildren, the young soldiers circulate rumor within the regiment. This natural setting proves an ironic place for killing, just as these fresh men seem the wrong ones to be fighting in the Civil War. Crane remarks on this later in the narrative: "He was aware that these battalions with their commotions were woven red and startling into the gentle fabric of the softened greens and browns. It looked to be a wrong place for a battlefield" (69). Green is ...

... In both books, the main characters must take care of themselves because they do not know who they can trust. The boys in the Lord of the Flies basically have to live their own lives, for they are on an island with no one to run to except themselves, or some of the other boys that they trust. Although, the ones they trust are already fending for themselves. The characters all go through changes as they adjust to their new world, and become different people because of it. In example to this, Jack seems like a strong willed character at the start of the book, but the other boys never would have imagined he would turn into a cold blooded killer. Therefore ...
