.... It seems that from this ‘brew’ a more sinister force is released. The dancing and the contents of the little pot seem to fuel the rumours, lies and tragedy of Salem. From this point onwards, lies which in turn arouse suspicion ending ultimately in the destruction of the Salem community. Even in the next part of the play we observe Tituba create and elaborate lies which is the first we see of the evil which is unleashed by the witch hunt. There was very little privacy in Salem mainly because the fact that it was a theocracy and crimes were an offence not only against God but also against the community. Therefore there was pressure for neighbours .....

.... an incinerator. The next example of irony comes when you learn about the departments of Government in Oceania. The Ministry of Truth is actually the maker of lies for the history books, the Ministry of Love discourages love, and the Ministry of Peace is actually quite violent. The final example of verbal Irony can be seen in the name of the leader of Oceania, "Big Brother." The concept of a big brother is one whom is older and wiser and helps the "littler siblings" -- this not the case with 1984's Big Brother. The Big Brother in this novel completely watches over every move a person makes keeping them controlled with fear. The next type of irony is Situation i .....

.... (Jay Gatsby's dream of becoming rich and successful in order to impress Daisy) is easily believable and is still a quite common dream today. Smaller plots, such as Tom Buchanans affair with Myrtle, are also very realistic and are a common occurrence in every day life. From here Fitzgerald deepened the story by using realism to entangle these plots. Fitzgerald then grew apon these plots by making them all have realistic outcomes (such as Gatsby's demise), rather than your typical story book endings. It is mostly thanks to Fitzgerald's descriptive, poetic style of writing that allows him to realistically portray the many plots of The Great Gatsby. Fitzgeral .....

.... him off of the other. Runs With Horses is the boys name. He completes the jog up and down the mountain, actually leaving behind the warrior who went with him to make sure he went all the way to the top of the mountain before turning back and that his pace never slackened. He nearly kills his friend, Little Face, when they are forced to fight to see who is superior. Runs With Horses, however, only goes on three raids. On this third raid, almost the entire raid party is killed when they are ambushed by the Mexican army and the “White Eyes,” as they are referred to in the book. What is left of the entire Apache Nation, his tribe, are forced to surren .....

.... was eager to get to herself. She shows the evil in her character by wishing the pain that she must live through, and perhaps even die as the outcome, on others. She does not want to accept the fact that she was chosen. Mrs. Hutchinson says that it is “not fair”, regarding the final results of . was something she looked forward to until the outcome of was forced upon her. The entire population of the town participates in the tradition of . This shows that the whole community releases a part of their evil onto others. They are all eager to see someone beaten with rocks, however none of them want it to be them. Even the town’s children were involved in the sa .....

.... the inhumanity and humility these slaves face, Morrison is at least successful in giving the reader a better understanding of their hardships. By reading about the lives of Sethe, Halle, and Paul D., the reader is capable of identifying just what some of these trials consist of and the effects they have on American black slaves. One of the more obvious degradations the characters in Beloved face is that of physical abuse. Morrison writes, “ That’s what they said it looked like; a chokecherry tree.” In this instance, Sethe is describing the tree-like shape of the scars on her back. Like many slaves, Sethe is whipped, only so badly that the scars form thi .....

.... good ideas and can enforce what he thinks should happen. "Shut up," said Ralph absently. He lifted the conch. "Seem to me we ought to have a cheif to decide things(#22)." He also shows he can be a good cheif and make them listen with a wave of a hand. "Ralph smiled and held up the conch for silence(#23)." Lastly, when Ralph blows the conch, as though a force is pulling them nearer, the children go to him. "By the time Ralph had finished blowing the conch the platform was crowded(#32)." Next, one of the bigger symbols is the fire. Enforcing the rules is one thing, but the children would rather play than keep the fire going. Ralph gives the idea for the fire, bu .....

.... pg. 2 In this paper I will examine and analyze the use of words that create graphic pictures for the mind, and words that excite the imagination. I will illustrate how the use of such a graphic idiom is still popular today. Although we have entered a new millennium filled with special effects, and computer graphics , many of us continue to appreciate the excitement of the written word from those authors that produce masterpieces. The Iliad does just that. Homer’s use of language evokes the passion of his characters and their heartfelt emotions. The Iliad embodies action at it’s very onset, and although long in content, captures and to an extent , possesses it .....
