.... She left school in 1950 so that she could go to New York and become a writer. "Her law studies proved to be 'good training for a writer' because they promote logical thinking and because law cases are an excellent source for story ideas" (Matuz 239). When her father became ill, she was forced to split her time between New York and Monroeville, Alabama. "In her native town she was surrounded by the setting of her novel; an old house where a mysterious recluse might live, the courtroom, and the lawyer's office" (Matuz 239). This environment and her southern background proved to be the perfect combination for writing a story about life in a quiet town in Alab .....

.... abuse is the way he physically and mentally abused Arthur Dimmsdale. He abused Hester emotionally. As soon as he returned to the city and found that his wife had an affair, he told her not to tell anyone he was her husband. He then lived his life to find out who made his wife pregnant, and therefore put Hester in constant fear for her true love. He went about his life, indifferent to what he was putting her through. She was affected greatly by his schemes, and thus Chillingworth emotionally abused his wife, as was his standard of doing things. Pearl was abused because of Chillingworth's neglect towards her. He could have looked past his wife's sin and love .....

.... around him or her that serve as a frustration or nuisance. An ideal example of this would be Curley when he decides to target Lennie as a'frustration' and subsequently attacks him with no real valid reason apart from jealousy and spite. The last option concerns Candy and Crooks to an extent. They live a fairly meaningless life void of love and affection. They have few friendships and cling to anyone who shows them sincere attention. An example of this is when Lennie has a conversation with Crooks and he expresses his feelings of loneliness. Another example is when Carlson shoots Candy's dog. Candy becomes very eager to attach himself to George and lennie a .....

.... society, then, becomes the Company, his fellow trench soldiers, because that is a group which does understand the truth as Baumer has experienced it. Remarque demonstrates Baumer’s disaffiliation from the traditional by emphasizing the language of Baumer’s pre- and post-enlistment societies. Baumer either can not, or chooses not to, communicate truthfully with those representatives of his pre-enlistment and innocent days. Further, he is repulsed by the banal and meaningless language that is used by members of that society. As he becomes alienated from his former, traditional, society, Baumer simultaneously is able to communicate effectively only with .....

.... Middler in Devon has ever jumped from the tree; Finny becomes the first. After surfacing, Finny says that jumping from the tree causes the most fun he has had in weeks. However, the Naguamsett and the Devon completely contrast. When Gene and Finny emerge from the Devon, they feel clean and refreshed. However, Gene describes the Naguamsett as "ugly, saline, fringed with marsh, mud and seaweed" (68). When Gene starts a fight with Quackenbush and falls into the Naguamsett because Quackenbush calls Gene "a maimed son-of-a-bitch," Gene surfaces from the Naguamsett feeling grimy, dirty and in desperate need of a bath (71). Much like the clean, refreshing wa .....

.... representing the argument that man is governed by reason. If this is the case, then Swifts misanthropy was such that he saw men as the foul and disgusting Yahoos, and made it plain that reform of the species was out of the question. A major fault with this theory is that it leaves no place for Gulliver. When attention is drawn to the figure of Gulliver himself, as distinct from his creator, Swift, he is taken to be the moral of the story. If you can't be a Houyhnhnm you don't need to be a Yahoo; just try to be like Gulliver. The trouble with this idea is that when taking a closer look at Gulliver, he isn't worth emulating. The final picture of him talking .....

.... England, about five miles south of London. The cathedral was a special place. It was a shrine where the archbishop Thomas A. Becket was murdered in 1170. This was the pilgrimage the twenty nine characters would make. They would start at the Tabard Inn in Southwark, which is near London. The characters in this story tell the stories themselves. This style of writing is called framework. There are twenty-four different stories told by the characters who interact with each other throughout the entire tale. The stories are mostly old familiar ones revamped and retold with the Chaucer style. Most of the stories relate some kind of moral lesson or value. .....

.... of raping, is white. Atticus proves without a doubt that Tom is innocent. But in a all white jury guilt or innocence is not important to them the only thing that is important to them is that Tom Robinson is black. Even if the jurors wanted to say that they beleived Tom was innocent they would have to face the people of Maycomb and then they would be shunned for letting a black man go free. Boo Radley was also the victim of prejudice. The people of Maycomb county did not understand Boo, he was not seen outside of his house and people did not know what to think. They made up their own ideas of what he was like and made him out to be some sort of m .....
