... to help round out the story.This is especially important with the way the actions between Calixta and Alcee relate to a storm that had started almost as soon as Alcee rode up on his horse. As Alcee stands on the porch, (the actual text notes that he had no intention of walking inside the house), the water beat through the boards forcing Alcee to enter the house.

More instances where the storm relates with the characters is when Calixta is looking out the window, and a lightning bolt strikes a tree, and ...

... could do such a thing, but he still trys and works on it very hard and time consuming. Another good part of the story is when Johnny is basically crippled with one of his hands, and is basically worth nothing, when at one time Johnny was wanted by a lot of masters because he was very talented with his hands. It really makes you think if you were to lose a talent how you would feel about it and act upon it, it made me feel thankful. Another interesting part of the book was when Johnny went to look for a job. Johnny was so persistent when trying to find another apprentice job. He didn’t really care about what kind of job it was he just ...

... same artifacts and we all want to have whatever everyone else has. I also think that he's sorry that humans cannot appreciate the beauty of nature, and are polluting it with factories, buildings, and alike. Neruda grew up in the wilderness, and I think that he misses the wild landscapes and the fresh air he used to breath when he was a boy. The line that confused me was when he says that it would be "delicious to kill a nun." I thought that because of his experience of loosing a friend during war, he would be against any kind of violence. But, I then I thought that since existentialism consists of an active role of the will, and not the reason, Neruda was just ...

... how Austen could have created such a character as Fanny Price. Fanny is a Christian heroine who is submissive, physically delicate and all too collusive with the privileged world of Mansfield Park. Having Fanny as the heroine displaces the energy and vitality of Mary Crawford. However Fanny is the heroine of this novel and we have to discover if she is only the heroine due to the fact that all the other characters in the novel falter in some way. When Fanny comes to Mansfield she is an extremely timid young girl who is afraid of everyone and everything, it is her quiet passive manner that conceals this constant terror that leads to her nightly sobbing. It is Ed ...
