.... It seems like Mr.Mchabe’s only propose in life is to bother Sylvia and the other teachers. The admiral always seems to find something wrong with the manor the teachers run their classes in.

.... even identified with racial terms. The main character in the story is actually prejudiced and makes many statements using racial jargon. For example, Mrs. Turpin, the main character, refers to the higher class woman as “well-dressed and pleasant”. She also labels the teenage girl as “ugly” and the poor woman as “white-trashy”. When Mrs. Turpin converse with her black workers, she often uses the word “nigger” in her thoughts. These characteristics she gives her characters definitely reveals the Southern lifestyle which the author, Flannery O'Connor, was a part of.

.... into a bucket, eventually, the bucket will get filled with water. It may take a long time, but the bucket will get filled, regardless that is what the teachings of Buddha are saying. Evil may take over mind little by little if you are not careful. That is why one should think clearly at all times, and not allow evil to enter their mind. Water is a frequently used metaphor in The Dhammapada. Another example of this occurs on page 14, number 4 in the section titled "Flowers". "Just as a raging flood sweeps away a sleeping village, So does death claim a man of distracted mind, As he continually seeks more and more Of life's .....

.... minute-by-minute hardships of the many passengers on the Titanic. I especially enjoyed how some of the men on the boat acted so selfishly that they had to dress like women just to save their own precious lives, rather than be respectable and see the vulnerable women on board the lifeboats first. I don't believe this terrible incident has any relation to my experiences because I have never experienced being on a cruise ship and then suddenly realized that my worry free vacation is going to turn out to be a horrifying nightmare. Walter Lord writes, "I cannot imagine any condition which would cause a ship to founder. I cannot conceive of any vital dis .....

.... hundreds of people at a time. His careless use for money to impress others is portrayed through his clothes. The shirts and clothes that are ordered every spring and fall show his simplexes in expressing his wealth to his beloved Daisy. His "beautiful shirts . . . It makes me sad because I've never seen such beautiful shirts before" (98). It seems silly to cry over simple shirts, but they symbolize an American Dream which people desire. These shirts represent the opulent manner of Gatsby's wealth and his ability to try and purchase Daisy's love, this time through the use of extensive clothing. Fitzgerald wisely shows how Gatsby uses his riches to buy Dais .....

.... of readers Pangloss is killed by being hanged. But this means that Candide’s reason is also dead! No problem he just goes finds a new companion, “Lacking him [Pangloss], let’s consult the old woman” (37). He soon loses her, gains another, looses him, and then gains another. Thus we see that Candide can only think if he has a companion. Voltaire is thus saying that all the nobles are really idiots and says they are only smart because they have philosophers. This is typically Enlightenment, because nobles, are stupid and must have philosophers to make them Enlightened. For example L’Hospital’s a French Noble had in his ̶ .....

.... to Frankie when her older brother Jarvis returns from Alaska with his bride-to-be, Janice. The once clumsy Frankie, forlorn and lonely, feeling that she "was a member of nothing in the world" now decides that she is going to be "the member of the wedding." Frankie truly believes that she is going to be an integral part of her brother's new family and becomes infatuated with the idea that she will leave Georgia and live with Jarvis and Janice in Winter Hill. In her scheme to be part of this new unit, she dubs herself F. Jasmine so that she and the wedding couple will all have names beginning with the letters J and a. Her positive thinking induces a euph .....

.... rescinded her taxes). The present, however, was expressed primarily through the words and views of the unnamed narrator of whom, most believably, could be perceived as the town. The new Board of Aldermen, Homer Barron and in what is called by Faulkner “the next generation with its more modern ideas” (qtd. in Kirzner & Mandell 81). The descriptions of her house “lifting its stubborn and coquettish decay above the cotton wagons and the gasoline pumps--an eyesore among eyesores” (qtd. in Kirzner & Mandell 80) showed a comparison of the past and present while also showing a representation of Emily herself. “The house smells of dust and disuse and has a closed, dank .....
