.... solace. Though his mental problems were a large part of his sorrow, most of it was due to his sister's illness. Much of the narrator's time at The House of Usher was spent reading philosophical books with Usher, apparently a great hobby of them both. One evening Usher came to the narrator and informed him “that the lady Madeline [Usher's sister] was no more.” (212) He also informed him of his intentions of keeping her corpse for a fortnight in one of the many vaults in the house. Having no wish to oppose his wishes, the narrator helps him entomb the body at Usher's request. The mood in the house has worsened, and Usher is no longer himself. The narrator .....

.... At the outset of the play she is perceived to be a very shy girl who will never speak her mind as shown when Proctor sends her home and she responds with " I'm just going home" (21). As the play continues and as she is influenced by Abigail, Mary begins to break this self induced mold and does what she wants. Mary Warren, along with many other girls gets caught up in the hype of getting all the attention and exercising power via initiating and adamantly continuing these "witch trials". Finally John Proctor, the rationalist, shows that when people like Rebecca Nurse and Elizabeth Proctor who are the saintliest of people are accused of being witches, somethin .....

.... to the south. Due to the natural instinct of man to explore, the explorers just that to figure out the mysterious Indians. The explorers later theorized that the Indians came from Siberia through a land bridge in the Bering Strait during the time when the water levels were not high. They also realized that it was difficult to predict the times when things happened to the Indians since they did not keep written records. Then they figured out by use of imagination that the Indians crossed over the land bridge to Alaska finding wild game. And following rivers and bodies of water, they moved south covering most of America. Another evidence was found near the site o .....

.... stand up for himself. He automaticly assumed everyone was putting him down. He didn't even try to do things for himself-parking his own car. He didn't have much confidence in himself. He daydreamed all the time about what he wanted to be because he didn't have a very exiteing life. He dreamed he was a doctor, pilot, convict, etc. On acount of his boring life he dreamed of having a realy exiting life. His wife made him do things that he did not think were necessary, but he did them anyway because he was afraid to stand up for himself. She made him wear his boots and gloves and told him not to sit in a certain chair in the hotel. Overall Mitty has .....

.... cane. There was very significant sense of discipline on sugar plantations. Each stage of the process required a certain amount of “expertise”, just as each worker in a factory has a specific “skill”. This is where Mintz’s theory that plantations were a “synthesis of field and factory” is best explained; “The specialization by skill and jobs, and the division of labor by age, gender, and condition into crews, shifts and ‘gangs,’ together with the stress upon punctuality and discipline, are features associated more with industry than agriculture – at least in the sixteenth century” (Mintz 47). Plantations required a “combination farmer-manufacturer”. Workers .....

.... helped...fancying yourself...an ‘extraordinary’ man, uttering a new word in your sense.... That’s so, isn’t it?” to which Raskolnikov replies, “Quite possibly” (247). Raskolnikov was strongly prompted to murder Alyona when he recalled a conversation that took place between two ordinary men in a bar. One declared: I could kill that damned old woman and make off with her money without the faintest conscious-prick.... For one life, thousands would be saved from corruption and decay.... Besides, what value has the life of that sickly, stupid, ill-natured old woman in the balance of existence? (63) Raskolnikov reaso .....

.... after Shelley's birth, Mary Wollstonecraft, died of an acute fever. Soon after her father Charles Godwin remarried and Shelley entered a battle as the victim of a fight for love. In her novel the emphasis of isolation and rejection are demonstrated in her "deformed child." Victor Frankenstein's mother dies of a fever but this is a mere representation of her life. What is most significant is the abandonment the monster feels throughout the story. He expresses it by telling Walton "...I, the miserable and the abandoned, am an abortion, to be spurned at, and kicked, and trampled on." He claims he is the victim of his wrongdoing and affirms: "You, who call F .....
