.... This shows that his inside wants to be free and knows the truth about his place among others, while the conscious part of his mind is not able to comprehend that until the very end. His mind is like a “fly as it … [beats] against [a] windowpane” (pg. 332) longing to join the world out there, but not understanding this desire rationally yet. Marmeladov’s room is “suffocatingly hot, but [Katerina] [has] not opened the windows” and in Alyona’s apartment “all the windows … [are] closed, in spite of the stifling heat” (pg 114) the day he commits the crime. In the former place he leaves money on the windowsill, while in the latter he takes money away. In both cases, .....

.... as contrasted to the whites attitude. Indians live with nature, appreciating its beauty and enjoying its comfort while whites' seem to ignore the beauty and value nature only according to its productive usefulness. In The Light in the Forest, whites, for example, cut down the forest and clear land for farming. I also was intrigued with how True Son spoke of his mother the Earth, his uncle the Moon, and his brother-in-law the Wind. In today's society we seem to concentrate on technology, while such oneness with nature is almost non- existent. As an author, Conrad Richter appears to be a skilled writer. I found numerous strengths and only two weaknesse .....

.... very picky as to where they lived. They chose to dwell in cliffs faced to catch the winter sun and shaded in summer, with enough floodplain to grow something and a source of water. These two story stone dwellings in cliffs were built large enough to fit 30 people in them. There is one odd fact about this: the Anasazi supposedly carried roof beams more than 50 miles from the forests of Mt. Taylor and Chuskas. These Indians lived as small scattered families of hunters and seed gatherers. They developed agriculture, learned to make baskets and irrigate. The Anasazi religion was very different compared to other religions of the world. Anasazi Indians chose to bur .....

.... unfairly and is punished for things she did not do. After the death of Jane’s parents, her uncle, Mr. Reed brought Jane into his house. On her uncle’s deathbed Mrs. Reed promises to treat Jane like one of her own children. Jane’s aunt, Mrs. Reed, does not like Jane and has a very hard time doing this. She feels Jane was forced upon her family after the death of her parents.

.... which truly diusgust him in their manner of operation and civility. Overall, Swift gives Gulliver a generally negative and cynical attitude towards the manner in which his current day English counterparts behaved cleverly disguised in the subtext of his encounters with other nations that either contrasted the way they lived, or mirrored unflatteringly his contemporaries lifestyles. In Gulliver's first voyage to Lilliput, his role as the town giant not only put into perspective the selfishness and unrelenting need for power of the human race, but also opened his eyes to the untrusting and ungrateful nature of those aforementioned. When he first arrived in th .....
