Indeed, the man seems hardly to need to sleep; for example, when they return to his father's place after visiting Judge Irwin, Willie Stark goes for a walk in order to think things through rather than go to bed, even though it is three o'clock in the morning. Later in the novel, he spends hours working on plans for the hospital that he has sworn to people that he would build. Furthermore, all of the evidence points toward the idea that he has always been a person who needs little sleep, one who has the drive to use every waking hour profitably. Another of Willie Stark's primary characteristics is his a .....

.... an external conflict of himself versus society. Incorporating first person point of view, specific locations, and means of characterization into the story developed the conflict. Point of view played an essential role in Catcher in the Rye. The first person perspective was used because it was necessary to know all of Holden’s thoughts. Throughout the story instances of Holden’s beliefs and speech evolve the external conflict. “He always looked good when he was finished fixing himself up, but was a secret slob anyway, if you knew him the way I did.” Here Holden was stating his thoughts on his roommate. The quote suggests that the roommate was fake beca .....

.... the best of friends and felt very strongly towards each other. However, once Pip had been introduced to Estella, he was overcome by her beauty, and would never again be able to look at Biddy, without feeling critical towards her. Slowly, after coming into contact with Estella, Pip was becoming superficial, as he was only interested in a girl's appearance. Thinking of Biddy, Pip thought to himself, "She was not beautiful--She was common and could not be like Estella..." (p 600) Estella's beauty had made Pip blind as to what was really important in a person. No matter how coldly Pip was treated by Estella, he went on loving her only because of her astou .....

.... controversy and are outlawed. Individuality and thought is outlawed. The human mind is outlawed. All that is left is a senseless society, unaware of their path to self-destruction, knowing only what the government wants them to know. By telling a tale of a world parallel to our own, Bradbury warns us of a future we are on a path to – a future of mind manipulation, misused technology, ignorance, and hatred. He challenges the reader to remain open-minded by promoting individualism, the appreciation of literature, the defiance of censorship and conformity, and most importantly, change. Bradbury’s inspiration to convey the themes involved in the n .....

.... on land was filled with difficulties for Huck. There were many rules that Huck had to follow for both the widow and for his father. The widow didn't really have many rules. She just wanted to "civilize" him. The widow expected Huck to go to school, wear clean clothes, sleep in his bed, and go to church. She just wants him to be like a normal child of his age. Even though Huck bends the rules a bit, he eventually grows to like living with the widow. He proves this point when he says, "Living in a house, and sleeping in a bed, pulled on me pretty tight, mostly, but before the cold weather I used to slide out and sleep in the woods, sometimes, and so tha .....

.... showed in the Greek and Roman myths. These gods, however, lived on earth and were accustomed to the same pleasures and desires and led the same lifestyle as the Greeks and Romans. First proposed by the Hebrew prophet Isaiah, god became a higher being, as mankind had mastered something within themselves to have a need for a higher god. This first god was still immoral and like the humans, except that he could live forever and did not dwell on the same surface as the humans, but god still lived in heaven, which was thought of as a tangible place in the sky, and still was thought to be in the shape of a man. This idea was challenged by another He .....
