... that was obviously not for everyone because it seems that the other people take the more popular one. “And both that morning equally lay/ In leaves no step had trodden black” (line 11). No one had yet to pass by on this road since the leaves have fallen. “I kept the first for another day” (line 13). The desire to travel down both paths is expressed and is not unusual, but “knowing how way leads onto way” (line 14). The speaker of this poem realizes that the decision is not just a temporary one, and he “doubted if I should ever come back” (line 15). This is his common sense speaking and acknowledging that what he chooses now will affect every other choice ...

... on his own. Lady Macbeth did not have any involvement in these cases. Based on these facts, Macbeth would be found more guilty than Lady Macbeth. The very first murder in this story was committed on Duncan. This crime was planned by both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. The actual murder was done by Macbeth, making him more guilty of the crime. Lady Macbeth just talked about committing the crime, but she never actually went through with it nor would she ever, and that is all that counts. Talking about committing the incident is very different from actually doing it. Lady Macbeth did a little more than just talk about it though. She also urged Macbeth into doing it and tha ...

... Batman. The differences between the two jump right off the page, so I will start with that. Batman has guided and motivated two generations now. From comic books, to television and to the silver screen, Batman has rescued innocent victims and saved the world countless times. He had long battles with The Joker, though neither would ever die because then the ratings would fall. But Batman would always be there to save the day, even though he never actually kills his opponent except in the movies. Of course, the complete opposite of this is Beowulf. Beowulf cannot win a battle unless he kills his opponent (but he doesn’t have to worry about ratings). Beowulf wi ...

... women love and men the world” (Newman 693). In reality, Austen can not accurately be evaluated as an author (or feminist subversive) without first examining the eighteenth century English society in which she lived and placed her heroines. Watt says that Austen’s characters cannot be seen “clearly until we make allowances for the social order in which they were rooted” (41). Austen lived in a society where women were expected to be “accomplished,” as Darcy states in Pride and Prejudice, but not well educated (“Notes”). Women of the late eighteenth-century could not attend educational institutions like Oxford ...

... The Mayor of Casterbridge, Mr. Michael Henchard is described "of fine figure, swarthy, and stern in aspect" and had a "walk of the skilled countryman" and "showed in profile a facial angle[…]to be almost perpendicular." (I,1). Also stated is that Mr. Henchard’s "elbow almost touched (his wife’s) shoulder" while walking beside each other, implying that he was a very tall man. (I,1) Saul from the Bible is also described as "as a handsome young man" who "stood head and shoulders above the people." (1 Sam 9:2) While both men were accompanied with someone of inferior status, Henchard with his wife and Saul with his servant, they were in search of s ...

... line ahead of you. Once you have made it to the box office and gotten your tickets, you are confronted with the problem of the theater itself. If you go to one of the run-down older theaters, you must adjust to the musty smell of seldom-cleaned carpets. Escaped springs lurk in the faded plush or cracked leather seats, and half the seats you sit in seem loose or tilted so that you sit at a strange angle. The newer twin or quad theaters offer their own problems. Sitting in an area only one-quarter the size of a regular theater, moviegoers ofter have to put up with the sound of the movie next door. This is especially jarring when the other movie involves racing cars o ...

... the drastic change in manner within the men, O'Brien creates within the reader an understanding of the effects of war on its participants. One of the soldiers, "Norman Bowler, otherwise a very gentle person, carried a Thumb. . .The Thumb was dark brown, rubbery to touch. . . It had been cut from a VC corpse, a boy of fifteen or sixteen"(13). Bowler had been a very good-natured person in civilian life, yet war makes him into a very hard-mannered, emotionally devoid soldier, carrying about a severed finger as a trophy, proud of his kill. The transformation shown through Bowler is an excellent indicator of the psychological and emotional change that most of the sold ...

... that I, too, was not the sort that would have done for the chief mate of a ship like the Sephora." he seems to find similarity between himself and Leggatt. In another instance, Leggatt admits to the narrator that he is a murderer. The narrator states that he "knew well enough...that [his] double was no homicidal ruffian." The narrator has no fear of Leggatt because he feels familiar with Leggatt, and as he reveals this contemplation, he shows a change in character and a development in confidence in himself. As the narrator becomes confident that he has saved his "double", he becomes more confident in himself and his ability to command the ship. While Leggatt ...
