.... the fact that Jeremy did everything for his sister out of love for her. Scout was a girl from a middle-class family with good standing in their community. She was often fussed at by the ladies of the town and by her uppity Aunt Alexandra because she did not carry herself in a lady-like manner. Instead of her having tea parties and wearing dresses, Scout climbed trees and wore jean overalls. I laughed as I read this particular part because it reminded me of when I was young and liked to climb trees. I can also relate to the closeness shared by the siblings because I am very close to my younger brother, Brandon. Charles Baker "Dill" Harris was the only .....

.... Through these main actions his personality changes and he becomes a better person. First, the quest for immortality after the death of Enkidu shows that Gilgamesh has changed. Gilgamesh becomes frightened when he realizes that he isn’t immortal. After the death of Enkidu, Gilgamesh tries to find immortality by trying to cross the ocean to find it. He sounds pathetic as he rambles of his reason for trying to find everlasting life. His state of being at this part in the book, which is the end, is completely different from his arrogant beginning of this epic. Gilgamesh has gone from arrogant to scared. Second, the death of Humbaba changes Gilgamesh. Humbaba is e .....

.... by Catherine’s choice; his awareness that he was an unacceptable suitor led him to become an angry man than resented domesticity. Cathy Linton was the only female that married out of love, however her love for Linton forced her into domesticity. The social mores that suggested a person should marry out of duty rather than love ultimately led to the development of Bronte’s characters. Catherine Earnshaw is an excellent example of how negative it can be for one to marry out of duty, rather than out of love. Catherine had loved Heathcliff for many years, but the domestic norms forced her to marry Edgar Linton because he was an acceptable suitor. Although .....

.... situations over logically and use reason, rather than emotions to decide upon important dilemmas. Piggy does not let his emotions guide him. Through the course of the novel, we see how the symbolic society on this uninhabited tropical island in the Pacific Ocean makes the transition from carefully organized democratic reasoning to feeling-driven madness. The climax of this transition is marked by the death of Piggy and the destruction of the conch shell, which has very similar symbolism to Piggy. The gradual shift is also measured by various incidents that obstruct Piggy's mental reasoning, such as the breaking of his eye glasses, and the loss of the boys' fait .....

.... my house. I would almost never leave the house and I had nothing that could even remotely be called a social life. My reason for doing this to myself was that I spent most of my time thinking about my future and wishing for it to come. I had almost no kind of happiness for where I was or what I was doing in the present. I cut myself off from the outside world. I was rather shy around other people (I still am, admittedly) and I had very few friends. It was not too long before I discovered the faults in my erroneous living. I finally realized, and truly not a moment too soon, that if I did not start living for the present, my future would soon become .....

.... he left the Patna to sink. Jim’s soul would forever punish him for the unspeakable act he committed when he left the Patna to sink. As so, Jim was destined to live the rest of his life in misery when he left the eight hundred passengers to die. The Patna incident caused a chain of self hatred and self loathing that would go on until Jim’s death. Jim’s ever churning soul made him very unhappy. Fighting constantly within himself made Jim experience extreme guilt and anguish. The way Jim struggled on the inside caused Jim to seem lack luster and lazy on the outside. If Jim would have been more at peace with his soul he would not have been in such pain. Being th .....

.... and their mother always tries to make it as pleasant as possible. The two women do not get out much to socialize. Amanda sometimes goes to D.A.R. (Daughters of the Revolution) meetings, but Laura does not like to socialize at all. She has a slight limp and is extremely shy with people. When she does leave the apartment, she falls. She is unable to function in the outside world. As previously stated, symbols play an important role in The Glass Menagerie. Symbols are substitutions that are used to express a particular theme, idea, or character. One symbol that is used over and over is the fire escape. This has different meanings to the char .....

.... to live in "some degree of anguish or discontent." Skinner uses the ideal setting of Walden Two to illustrate his ideas of how human behavior should be "formed." Much of Skinner's argument on how to eliminate what he knows as problematic rests on his prescription of dismissing the notion of individual freedom. Skinner does not only say that the concept of individual freedom is a farce. He takes it a step further and states that the search for it is where society has gone wrong. He wants no part in the quest for individual freedom. If we give up this illusion, says Skinner, we can condition everyone to act in acceptable ways. Skinner has a specific p .....
