... look at what it is that we are reading. In saying this it means we must read between the lines. And not just see the words but where they came from and what the writer is trying to say. As was demonstrated in The Daughter of Time, the documents which Grant read all differed in the way they viewed Richard III. This could have been because the writer’s attitudes towards Richard were all different. For example, in the novel, Sir Thomas More’s and later accounts of Richard III were derived from John Morton, Richard’s bitterest en enemy. Sir Thomas’s account was from the view of someone who hated Richard and is therefor considered biased. As a historian it is importa ...

... effective use of racial symbolism can be seen by studying various examples from the book. This includes the actions of the children, the racist whites, and the actions of Atticus Finch. The actions of the children in this novel certainly do have their share of symbolism. For instance, the building of a snowman by Jem and Scout one winter is very symbolic. There was not enough snow to make a snowman entirely out of snow, so Jem made a foundation out of dirt, and then covered it with what snow they had. One could interpret this in two different ways. First of all, the creation of the snowman by Jem can be seen as being symbolic of Jem trying to cover up the black m ...

... that someday the ants may come. Leiningen thought to himself that he would be ready for them. He incorporated a horseshoe shaped ditch around his plantation. The forth side is a river that can be used quickly to fill the ditch. Toward the middle of the plantation lay another ditch that encircled the barn, house, stables, and other buildings. This ditch was made of concrete, and the inflow pipes of three great petrol tanks could easily be emptied here. If the ants had miraculously made it through the first ditch the second one could be filled with gas which was sure to stop them. This intricate defense system was thought of by Leiningen and built to stop on ...

... early as it is in the movie. The third main reason is that many parts in the novel are different from the movie. The parts are the same but they are expressed differently in the book and in the movie. An example of this point is how Boo Radley is portrayed in the book and in the movie. In the book, Boo Radley is depicted as an unfriendly and not caring person while in the movie, his characteristics are not as strongly expressed. Boo Radley does not seem to be as bad in the book as he is in the movie. In conclusion, the reason why the movie is not as detailed as the book is because there are just too many important details to cover and so the movie does not add ...

... situation. Mrs. Alving said, “And there we are, one and all, so pitifully afraid of the light” (271). All the characters are afraid to face reality, especially Mrs. Alving, represented by the light. Fire is yet another symbol Ibsen uses. When Oswald comes downstairs with Alving’s pipe, he recalls an incident when he was given a pipe in his youth. Young Oswald smoked until he became sick. This is a foreshadowing of his illness, another sickness caused by careless actions. Another example of fire is seen when the orphanage, built in honor of Alving, is burned (287). The fire creates a symbolism that represents the truth, rising quickly and d ...
