.... a bad time, just as kids normally would. This could be Ralph's way of trying to distract himself from the reality of the airplane smashup. By the author's description of Piggy and the contents of Piggy's talks, all of us have a good idea of how he looks like and how he acts. We can all relate to him as that ‘fat nerd' that always sat alone in the cafeteria. We all had nicknames for the ‘loner'. We knew deep down that this was a bad thing to do but we enjoyed putting him or her down. Piggy is smarter than most of the survivors. You could see this because he was aware of the situation around him whereas Ralph enjoyed the freedom. It was Piggy's idea to write d .....

.... At this point, there is a choice between either one or the other. When Stephen elects to choose his true calling, he continues on his journey, in search of what it means to really know the solitude that he faced since his youth. As the priest talks to Stephen, Stephen remembers details of his own sins: a delicate and sinful perfume....the brittle texture of a womans stocking. He also remembers how his masters at Clongowes and Belvedere taught him christian doctrine and urged him to lead a good life and...led him back to grace once he fell short of Gods glory. Stephens first calling, to become a priest, has appeal, but his epiphany lets him know that .....

In the early morning Francis, Margot (his wife) and their guide Robert Wilson go out to hunt for this lion.

Before the men go in after the lion, Macomber sat, "sweating under his arms, his mouth dry, his stomach hollow feeling, wanting to find the courage to tell Wilson to go on and finish off the lion without him." As the men enter the tall grass, the lion cam .....

.... through deeply symbolic delineations of continued emotional and psychological suffrage. Stanley Crouch stated " For Beloved, above all else, is a blackface holocaust novel" (38-43). He believed that by including sadistic guards, murder, separation of family members, a big war, failed and successful escapes, and losses of loved ones to the violence of the mad order, Morrison was attempting to enter American slavery into the martyr ranks of the Nazi's abuse of the Jews (Crouch 38-43). Also, Crouch stated, " …she lacks a true sense of the tragic" (38-43). He supported this by stating " … it shows no sense of the timeless and unpredictable manifestation .....

.... K is put through can be interpreted on two levels, the first of which is a literal interpretation of a criminal trial. The second level can be seen as the internal trial that he must go through to cope with his own anxiety. K and his trial are used to represent the eternal guilt of human beings in the eyes of a bureaucracy, and in this sense, K is guilty. However, the question of K's guilt is not important to Kafka's intention to show his idea that "the innocent and the guilty [are] both executed without distinction in the end." In Kafka's beliefs, the courts treat all men as if they were guilty. Joseph K is a prime example of this treatment. He is never .....

.... is no wonder that history becomes important to each in different ways. Willie Stark must support his entire empire in a world of enemies and corruption, to do this he relies on the past to provide him with the foundation. "Dirt's a funny thing," the Boss said. "Come to think of it, there ain't a thing but dirt on this God's green globe except what's under water, and that's dirt too. It's dirt makes the grass grow. A diamond ain't a thing in the world but a piece of dirt that got awful hot. God-a-Mighty picked up a handful of dirt and blew on it and made you and me and George Washington and mankind blessed in faculty and apprehension. It all depends on w .....
