.... women, Idgie Threadgoode and Ruth Jamison, and the trials and tribulations of their life in the 1920’s and 30’s. Idgie and Ruth are business partners, best friends, and in the eyes of many, also lesbians. “[] represents around the issue of lesbianism, depicting a strong and intense friendship between two white women (the tomboy Idgie Threadgoode and the fern Ruth Jamison), but never committing itself one way or another” (Pelligrini 7). There have not been many stories written about homosexuality in the first half of the twentieth century. That is why Fannie Flagg does not just come out and say that Idgie and Ruth are lesbians. In .....

.... writing format which demands brief, to the point sentences and the smooth flowing of ideas. It seems that Hemingway adapted this style to his fiction writng. Hemingway demonstrates this talent in a short story called "A Clean Well-Lighted Place". When he was 19 Hemingway enlisted in the army. He was rejected due to a defective left eye. He then turned to the Red Cross in which he became a second lieutenant. The Red Cross brought him to the front lines of the war in Italy. It was here where he saw many disturbing sights which probably had a hand in shaping his character. After extensive injuries from the war, Hemingway returned unhappily to Oak Park. .....

.... burden when he runs away from his first battle. What causes Henry to run in the intensity of war? Henry's lack of confidence ignites the feeling that he might run. The veteran soldiers tell stories to the rookies about the horrible sights they witnessed while fighting. They portray visions of blood, fire, and smoke. Henry begins to wonder how he might react to this situation: "He had to mathematically prove to himself that he would not run from a battle" (Crane 16). Henry faces doubts and has to make a conscious effort to believe he will not run. In addition, as Henry's regiment moves closer to the actual battlefields, soldiers running from the battle render .....

.... plant, but the garden of Eden was created by a super- natural being, and Dr. Rappaccini's garden by Rappaccini himself. The forbidden plant in Genesis is a gorgeous, extremely tempting fruit plant. The fruit on this plant are described as extremely tempting. However, these fruits have been deemed prohibited by God. The plant in Rappaccini's garden is a large flowering bush. The flowers on this bush are unlike any others and extremely exquisite. The two plants share the trait of “forbidden,” but in different ways. The fruit on the tree in Genesis was forbidden simply because that was the way God made it. The plant in Rappaccini's garden was forbidd .....

.... Holden reacts to this question by saying, "Boy, she was depressing me"(Salinger 169). The only three things he can name that he liked were Allie, James Castle, and sitting there chewing the fat with Phoebe. The reason this is a time when Holden falls is because he gets really depressed when he can barely think of anything he liked. The reason I think Holden gets so depressed is because two of the people he names are dead. That's why he is so lonely all the time. Holden finds things in common with Allie and James Castle and since they're both dead he feels, in the back of his mind, that he should also be dead which makes him depressed. Another examp .....

.... as long as he doesn't screw-up his thoughts with other peoples. "I enjoy being a playwright," he said during a recent Northeastern University visit. "Playwriting at its very best is an act of aggression against the status quo. It says, ‘This is who you are and how you behave. If you don't like it, why don't you change?'" Tall, slim, tweedy, with a patrician accent and looking a bit younger than 70, Albee would have changed his own sad past if he could. An orphan raised in chauffeured luxury, Edward was packed off to the first of three boarding schools at age 11. At Trinity, "I discovered that the required courses were not the ones I required." So he cut .....

.... tapestry, Hawthorne meshes light's intense symbolism into his characters' natures until a chef d'oeuvre manifests itself upon the loom of the reader's intellect. This tapestry serves as a subtle background upon which the characters' sinful hearts are bared. As Hawthorne navigates the reader through the passages of his dark tale, one follows Hester as she goes to Governor Bellingham's mansion. Light is reflected by almost every aspect of the extravagant dwelling. Through the narrator's words, we see the Governor's house as Hester sees it: "...though partly muffled by a curtain, it [the hallway] was more powerfully illuminated by one of those embowed .....
