.... down the street, sightseeing when they see the red Oldsmobile convertible. Lyman (the story is told from his point of view) almost makes the car a living thing when he says, “There it was, parked, large as life. Really as if it were alive.” They used all of the money they had, less the gas to get home, to buy the car. The car’s main significance in the story is the bond that it creates between the brothers. When reading the story, one is led to believe that these two brothers have very little in common other than their blood. Upon the purchase of the vehicle, however, they are brought together by a common interest: the car. Once the bond is formed .....

.... not have. Jacobs’ book acts as a desperate appeal to the very hearts of women to understand that when slavery exists, true womanhood cannot. Due to their vastly contrasting circumstances, free white women of the North were entirely different creatures than the slaves of the South. As a result of the explosive Industrial Revolution, massive economic growth and the birth of a new middle class in the early part of the nineteenth century, Northern women were experiencing a total reform of society. Nancy Woloch states in Women and the American Experience “middle class Americans had rising incomes, expectations, and living standards” (p.67). The atmosphere was .....

.... had many problems. There was hate between the two families so much so that even the servants hated each other. This feud would have caused many problems for Romeo and Juliet: These two young lovers knew this and this is why they kept their marriage a secret. If their parents discovered their secret, they would have made their children's lives miserable. Romeo and Juliet would not have been able to see each other. Both of these families were very stubborn and there was hardly any thing that would have made them become friends. In the prologue we learn that the only way the "strife" could be ended was by the deaths of Romeo and Juli .....

.... as the women in their stories were usually more passive, and not as elaborate as men in their speech, however, James Joyce did not see things in the same light. The most developed female character in Joyces A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, is one who speaks with dignity, passion, and the female tact which is all too often ignored in the ch aracters of women. Joyce's Dante Riordan's words and thoughts are true to those of literate twentieth century women. Although a short-lived character in Portrait, Dante Riordan, in a brief amount of time emits an apparently important and mysterious aura, the aura of a woman. Judging from the studies of twentiet .....

.... Mr. Lorry, in a way, gave Dr. Manette's life back to him or "recalled him to life." Another instance in which someone is "recalled to life" involves Charles Darnay. Charles Darnay is on trial for treason in England(Book 2, Ch.2-4). C.J Stryver and Sydney Carton are representing Darnay in this trial. Sydney Carton saves Darnay from death in this trial with his miraculous wits. Through this Darnay is given another chance at life ,and therefore was "recalled to life." The last and most significant instance of someone being "recalled to life" is found in the last chapters of this book. Sydney Carton has recently switched places with his look alike, Darnay, an .....

.... women’s rights but "the description of humanity" (1135). Templeton believes that "A Doll House" is still a feminist text because people take it to be one. Templeton finds it to be ironic that "A Doll House" is an icon of the women’s movement, even though it is not about women’s rights. It is argued by some that Ibsen would not admit "A Doll House" to be a play on women’s rights because he did not want to be associated with the women’s movement since it was not popular at the time. This is however only because as Ibsen said "whenever such a description is felt to be reasonably true, the reader will read his own feelings and sentiments into the work" (1133). Th .....

.... him living with his father who was a brahmin. Siddhartha realized that he made everybody else happy but that he himself wasn't. He also got the feeling that he had already learned the best of what his teachers had to teach but it still wasn't enough. He still wasn't satisfied. One day he and his friend, Govinda, meditated by a banyan tree. Siddhartha recited the verse: "Om is the bow, the arrow is the soul, Brahman is the arrow's goal At which one aims unflinchingly."(8) It was after meditating with Govinda that he realized what he had to do. In an attempt to reach the arrow's goal, he would leave hi .....
