.... gouts of blood", indicating that the knife has been violently stabbed into someone. The next reference, in Scene 2, is when Lady Macbethsmears the blood from the dagger on the faces and hands of the sleeping servants "I'll guild the faces of the grooms withal, for it must seem their guilt". This is another sinister and wicked reference to blood, setting up the innocent servants of the king. Again, blood is referred to when Malcolm and Donaldbain are discussing what to do and Malcolm says: "there's daggers in men's smiles: the nearer in blood, the nearer bloody." Meaning that their closest relatives are likely to kill them. Again, blood is being used to de .....

.... an allusion to compare the "Handsome Sailor" and the eye of the constellation Taurus. His comparison also shows that Billy, like the "Handsome Sailor," is popular. Also, the comparison with the "Handsome Sailor" shows Billy as a handsome character. A comparison is also made between Billy and a "mighty boxer or wrestler." (THAAL, pg. 2513) The author wants the reader to see that Billy has strength as well as beauty. He also goes on to make an allusion between "young Alexander", Alexander the Great, and Billy to create an image of a powerful figure. (THAAL, pg. 2513) Melville compares Billy's physical appearance to that of Alexander the conqueror creating an .....

.... followed. Try to fit your ending into one of these categories: she can be with her lover (in any manner she wishes), she can be married (to a man of her choice), she can live alone. Each of the first two hypothetical endings would betray the point of the novel. Edna does not awaken to sex. She is liberated and does become a very sensual woman, but it is not to sexual expression that she wakens. Therefore, all options involving a lover fall short of fulfilling the meaning of her awakening. If she remains married or marries another, this would put her back (in terms of Webb) at the start of her circle: all the learning and struggling would be for naught. She wo .....

.... able to portray to you. I had psychological wounds from war, which made it hard for me to discuss the war with people. I felt really secluded from society. In it is said that when people tell war stories they usually exaggerate to make the story more interesting. Sometimes the story sounds so over exaggerated and so far fetched that people don't believe it. The author Tim O'Brien says that, "Often the crazy stuff is true and the normal stuff isn't because the normal stuff is necessary to make you believe the truly incredible craziness" (461). After I did this a couple times, I was disgusted with myself and quit. I wanted to keep my memories of war to myself. .....

.... journey to the doctor in order to get medicine for her allegedly sick grandson. The idea of Phoenix Jackson being a pathetic character is illustrated throughout the work with many different examples and situations. The first character trait shown to suggest her idea of being a pathetic figure is her disillusions and her senile view of the world around her. Shortly after Phoenix begins her journey, she sits down for rest. She begins to gaze at her surroundings when suddenly a little boy appears out of nowhere. The little boy is bringing her and a slice of cake. As Phoenix begins to reach for the slice of cake, the boy vanishes. The young boy is merely .....

.... Heathcliff, Hindley is jealous of the love between his father and Heathcliff. This added to Hindley’s worry that he will be cheated out of his inheritance. This causes Hindley to hate Heathcliff forever. Years later, when Hindley’s father dies, Hindley becomes the master of Wuthering Heights and he becomes a tyrant (ruler) over Heathcliff. “He drove him from their company to the servants, deprived him of the instructions of the curate, and insisted that he should labour outdoors instead, compelling him to do as hard as any other lad on the farm” (49). Hindley is also envious of the love that Catherine has for Heathcliff, and he tries to force them to live a .....

.... on one side, spanking new under a thin beard of raw ivy, and a marble swimming pool, and more than forty acres of lawn and garden.” (5) It models an extravagant castle with a European style. Indoors it has “Marie Antoinette music-rooms and restoration salons.” (92) There is even a “Merton College Library, paneled with imported carved English oak and thousands of volumes of books.” (45) There is even a private beach on his property. He also has his own personal hydroplane. Gatsby also drives a highly imaginative, “circus wagon”, car that “everybody had seen. It is a rich cream color with nickel and has a three-noted horn.” (64) It has a “monstrous le .....

.... any rules. The book's opening finds Huck living with the Widow Douglas and her sister, Miss Watson. Both women are fairly old and are really somewhat incapable of raising a rebellious boy like Huck Finn. Nevertheless, they attempt to make Huck into what they believe will be a better boy. Specifically, they attempt, as Huck says, to "sivilize" him. This process includes making Huck go to school, teaching him various religious facts, and making him act in a way that the women find socially acceptable. Huck, who has never had to follow many rules in his life, finds the demands the women place upon him constraining and the life with them lonely. As a r .....
