.... Gandalf, Legolas of the Elves, Gimli of the Dwarves, Aragorn and Boromin of the humans and four hobbits, Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin. This Fellowship is like the Round Table of King Arthur. Sir Thomas Malory in his Le Morte d’Arthur shows this Round Table as a military group loyal not only to their King but to one another. King Arthur is given the Round Table as a wedding gift by Gwynevere’s father. It consists of one hundred knights. Often the knights join together to defend the honor of another knight by killing the one causing the dishonor. The Fellowship bands together with the common purpose of destroying the Ring. The Ring can only b .....

.... As you can see, loneliness is one of the key factors to this story. Everyone in this story was or is lonely. Loneliness affects a lot of the characters in this story. One of the lonely characters is Crooks. Crooks is lonely because he's black and no one wants to be near him. This was when blacks were segregated from whites. No one ever went to visit him. Also, because he's black, he has his room out in the stable with the horses. The other (white) guys have their bunks in a one room house type of building. The loneliness affects Crooks so that he remains in his room when he has some books to read. He also usually rubs his own back with liniment because a hor .....

.... like. Scout connects Boo with the Mockingbird. Mrs. Maudie defines a mockingbird as one who "…don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us" (94). Boo is exactly that. Boo is the person who put a blanket around Scout and Jem when it was cold. Boo was the one putting "gifts" in the tree. Boo even sewed up Jem’s pants that tore on Dill’s last night. Boo was the one who saved their lives. On the contrary to Scout’s primary belief, Boo never harms anyone. Scout also realizes that she wrongfully treated Boo when she thinks .....

.... as the family scapegoat. Caisson's " incarceration" in McLennan Hospital in Belmont, Mass., by reputation one of the nation's best psychiatric hospitals, let off her family the difficulties of having to live for two years with this "borderline personality." As diagnosed by the clinician's bible, the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders," this condition could be the human condition, for it consists of "uncertainty about several life issues, such as self-image, sexual orientation, long-term goals or career choice, types of friends or lovers to have" - what one of Caisson's therapists called "people whose lifestyles bother them." Certainly, .....

.... "As he grew older, his hair grew darker, and he wore it longer - past his collar even" (Schwiebert 286). Danny is having some problems at school. It seems that he does not concentrate, or put forth the right amount of effort. Daisy learns from Donny's principal that"… Donny was noisy, lazy, and disruptive…" (Schwiebert 287). Daisy explains to the principal that her and her husband, Matt, have tried what they can. "We don't let him watch TV on school nights. We don't let him talk on the phone till he's finished his homework. But he tells us that he doesn't have any homework or he did it all in study hall. How are we to know what to believe?" (Schwiebert 28 .....

.... and perhaps dangerous to make judgments about these characters. Assuming that their situations and the outcomes of their behavior are applicable to our own lives is risky. Her characters are fictional. The combinations of their actions and outcomes are entirely an invention of Kate Chopin reflecting what she wants to teach her readers. If Chopin has successfully convinced a reader that the characters are real or that they could be real, the reader is likely to apply what he has learned from this fable in his or her own life. With these assumptions in mind, one must apply the task of figuring out what she wants people to believe and how to behave as a .....

.... of poets started by William of Poitou, heavily influenced Dante in his early poetry(Smith 18). Provencal literature was very unique and technically complex(Smith 18), "it was concerned with the worship of the idealized woman (usually married, and therefore theoretically unattainable), involving much sorrow and torment to the lover, not unmixed, with pride"(Smith 18). This was the basis for the linked rhyme scheme of the Inferno. Dante was fascinated by Arnaut Daniel's "cult of the word and his veritable obsession with technique"(Smith 19). The Sicilian School, a refinement of the Provencal, had "significant linguistic effect upon his contemporaries" (Smit .....

.... too great to ignore. Smiley is successful because she fills in so many of the gaps left open in the play. She gives us new an d different perspectives. One of the particular strengths of the novel lies in its depiction of the place of women in a predominantly patriarchal culture. In this male dominated culture, the values privileged in women include silence and subordination. Ginny is acceptable as a woman as long as she remains "oblivious" (121). She is allowed to disagree with men, contingent upon her doing so without fighting (104). Ultimately, her opinion as a woman remains irrelevant. Ginny remarks, "of course it was silly to talk about 'my p .....
