... the bar just so he can go into bed with his wife. The young man has absolutely no respect for the older man who is deaf. He yelled at the old man saying, "You should have killed yourself last week." The waiter treats him like an obstacle as if he is slowing down his life. The second waiter introduced is a middle-aged man. He does not say much, but it seems as though that this is because he does not want to get in a fight with the younger waiter. All he does is ask the young waiter questions, as if the middle-aged waiter was sort of stuck in a catch twenty-two. The middle aged man felt for the old man but could not express his feelings to the youn ...

... of the aforementioned community. To begin with, the difference between the two texts being analyzed is that one that they are written at different times and from different perspectives. The Gita is more of a historical text that tells of mythological beliefs and views that the Hindu people had. On the other hand, “The Journey” tells of one mans real life experience of the pilgrimage known as the Ban-Yatra. It tells a slightly more true to life story that has been carried out since the 16th century. If one were to only read the Gita, they might assume it to be nothing more than a fairy tale passed down from many generations that told of a greater bein ...

... A perfect example of Torvalds control and Nora’s submissiveness was when she got him to re-teach her the tarantella. She already knew the dance but she acted as if she needed him to re-teach her the whole thing. When he says to her “Watching you swing and dance the tarantella makes my blood rush”. This shows that he is more interested in her physically than emotionally. Then when she told him to stop he said to her, “am I not your husband?” Again, this is an example of Torvalds control over Nora, and how he thinks that she is there to fulfill his every desire on command. Torvald doesn’t trust her with any money and with the little money that he does entrust her w ...

The plot must bring together the three unites of, Action, Time, and Place. Also, it is generally accepted that most tragedies end unhappily and contain a significant amount of dramatic irony. Oedipus the King, written by Sophocles in the 400’s BC, is about a young Greek who was fated to murder his father, marry his mother, and while in the process become the king of Thebes. This play is no exception to Aristotles’ definition of a tragedy. The play includes all the key elements of a Greek tragedy, and also contains all th ...

... soma is also an illustration of the similarities of drug abuse between our two worlds. Linda's retuen to brave new world after many years brings her to the abuse of soma.

... New World like it did in the savage reservation. A piece of a mother and father could be put together for a child in the savage society, but in the Brave New World, everyone had their own life. There were no personal relationships, and there was no love. Also, drugs were looked down upon by the reservation, and yet, in the Brave New World, drugs, specifically soma, are the food for life. Instead of living through rough situations, society went on soma holidays for their problems. All these “wrongs” to John, were making him upset. John tried to give the hospital workers freedom. He threw away their soma, and made them more upset. The workers rioted against J ...

... in with the Widow Douglas and her sister, Miss Watson. Together, the women attempt to "sivilize" Huck by making him attend school, study religion, and act in a way the women find socially acceptable. However, Huck's free-spirited soul keeps him from joining the constraining and lonely life the two women have in store for him. The freedom Huck seeks in Tom Sawyer's gang is nothing more than romantic child's-play. Raiding a caravan of Arabs really means terrorizing young children on a Sunday School picnic, and the stolen "joolry" is nothing more than turnips or rocks. Huck is disappointed that the adventures Tom promises are not real and so, along with the other membe ...

... staring back at her." Not only can one commiserate with the character's feelings, but also imagine the actual moment. Another example of a clever description usage occurs when the readers are eager to have Janet uncover what lies in the depths of her trunk. "Her old trunk that stood against the wall was open just a crack; from the crack came this tiny pinpoint of reflected light to prick the cellar's gloom…She went toward it like a woman hypnotized…her old trunk had held the curled-up body of a woman." Thus, the readers can relate to the character's feelings of fear and anticipation making them more drawn to the story and its outcome. Making the difference b ...
