.... the acceptance of the wealth in their respective societies. Their search for the wealth of friends during the works both leads them to discontents and even death. But, the two characters differ in their wants. One of the strange connections between the two works is the location and the mentality that is brought with it. In The Age of Innocence the setting is New York. The characters in the story feel very much at home, but are not in a sense. Except for the fish out of water, Ellen Olenska. Her uniquely European take on the world shocks and offends the American aristocratic sensibility. Strangely, the American sensibility seems to be more deeply ingraine .....

.... into the positions of Mikolka, the child, and the mare. If Mikolka, the drunken owner of the mare, were to represent Raskolnikov, then the mare would most probably represent Alyona Ivanovna. The senseless beating of the mare by Mikolka is similar to the brutal attack on Alyona by Rodion. (It should be noted that both Alyona and the mare were female.) These heartless attacks foreshadow the crime that Raskolnikov is contemplating. Dostoevsky unveils Raskolnikov's cruel side during this dream, if it is to be interpreted in this way. On the same token, Raskolnikov's compassionate side could be represented by the little boy. The child, wat .....

.... to the inner domestic realm and excluded from the outer realm of examinations, politics and public life. For the most part, this ideology determined the reality of a woman’s live during China’s “long eighteenth century?” This is especially true for upper class women. The philosophical idea of yin and yang is found throughout Chinese culture, literature, and social structure. The idea is that the world is made up two opposite types of energy which must be kept in balance with one another. Neither is greater than the other, or more important than the other. In respect to gender, yin is female and yang is male. Yin is private lif .....

.... character. She seems to understand that her life will always be rough, and adapts to it by learning to ignore things she doesn’t like. She slips into her own world, a happy place, where no harm can enter and she is safe. This adaptation will help her to get through life, since it turns out to be a constant struggle. Celie’s mother died not too long after she had her children. Her mother cursed at her, in her final words, after she was told what her husband had done to Celie. She had thought that Celie was sleeping around, but when she found that the children were her husband’s, it killed her. She was not happy about that and instantly blamed Celie. After .....

.... eggs.' Forbsie said." (51). Brian has difficulty grasping this fact therefore he asks his father for help on the situation as he is still too young. Brian's father unwillingly provides information on this matter that results in a brief but not detailed discussion. From this discussion Brian concludes that the father pigeon places the baby in the egg and the baby pigeons grow while the mother pigeon is laying the egg. When the baby pigeon grows as much as it needs to grow, it hatches out of the egg. This explanation leaves Brian quite confused and uninformed of natures way to reproduce. At this stage Brian seems to understand that humans and animals reproduce ba .....

.... chanting about death, Goldstien, and whatever the party wanted the citizens to disgust. Winston hates the party and Big Brother. He hates the "pure" ones, also. Everthing about Winston's life drives him closer and closer to a suicidal point each day. What makes things worse, hte Party makes Winston think that he is crazy for wanting to be free to think and for wanting to remember. These simple things are taken for granted today. George Orwell devilishly illustrates the brutality that man can be capabel of when he is given such power. The people of Oceania are forced to love Big Brother. There is possibly no one that loves Bill Clinton, besides his family. t .....

.... by portraying them through the antagonists. Prejudice can be observed throughout the novel by the way the other characters treat Huck. Twain portrays Huck as a average boy of his time, being mischievous, adventurous and funny. The society Huck lives in labels him "uncivilized" because he has an abusive, drunk father. "... by and by pap got too handy with his hick'ry and I couldn't stand it. I was all over with welts." Here the reader can observe the ultimate failure of an uncivilized person. Pap is an alcoholic, a dead beat and a racist. Nevertheless, society also considered Huck "uncivilized" because he did not wear shoes, did not al .....
