.... specific aspect of mankind. In the beginning of the story, Henry is characterized as a shy and timid boy who has been nurtured his whole life by his mother. When Henry develops the motivation to free himself from his nurturing mother and finally become a man, he decides to fight in battle. As soon as Henry enters battle, this motivation to become a man softens to a mere whisper -- Henry is afraid. He, too, threw down his gun and fled. There was no shame in his face. He ran like a rabbit. Crane uses Henry’s fear to symbolize how a true-life person would feel. Not many people can relate to a super hero who can face all fears, but they can relate to a per .....

.... criminal with only good morals and conditioning an automated response to "evil." Burgess enforces the idea of the medical model of corrections, in terms of rehabilitating an offender, which is up to the individual. That one should determine the cause and then find an exclusive treatment to resolve that individual's case, then apply it. This is the case with the character Alex, a juvenile delinquent introduced into prisonization then conditioned by governmental moral standards. This lack of personal moral choice imposed upon Alex creates conflicting situations in which he has no control over. This is apparent when trying to readjust into society. As co .....

.... possesses the pure hatred of everything he deems to be good and pure. His very existence is for the destruction of the truly innocent. From the very beginning of Othello, Iago is in the midst of his scheme to destroyOthello. He speaks with the muddy-mettled rascal, Roderigo. And from the very firstmoment Iago admits to not really being what he seems. He is not what he is. And whatdoes he use as his reasoning for his obvious ill towards Othello. Well, he is sort of mad that Cassio was chosen as a Lieutenant instead of him. It is interesting that Iago feels theneed to justify himself to a pantywaist like Roderigo, who entrusts him with .....

.... order to shed some light onto part of reality that they have been missing. This loss of innocence, and realization of such a loss, is John Updike's central theme in "A&P". "A&P" starts with three girls walking into a grocery store wearing only bathing suits and immediately catching the eye of a young, nineteen year old named Sammy. The girls and Sammy are innocent yet in different ways. The girls seemed to be different to Sammy as they looked and acted as though they did not live in his town. The girls were ignorant of Sammy's local culture as they seemingly had spent the day at the beach, and had not lived in his town nor spent much time in it at all. .....

.... with a autobiography of a little child named Huck. The book Huckleberry Finn was written about a time between 1835s- 50s. This meant that during Huck's time, slavery was still around and most whites during this time do not like blacks. The N- word just literally show us what white people think of blacks at that time. They use this wor! d to verbally express their feelings. However, I am not trying to say that Huck calls Jim a N- because he does not like him. He probably picked it up from other people (adults). Besides this "vulgarity" as An Lew has put it, this book in my eyes is a perfectly good reading book for young people. It is exciting, adventur .....

.... realizing the naïveté of her reading habits. We see Jane Austen's 'anti-heroine' grow up , fall in love, and, through various strong betrayals of her unquestioning trust, learn to view human nature from a more realistic point of view. Throughout this maturing process Jane Austen's reader is invited to feel every emotion with Catherine, while maintaining a certain detachment which allows us to recognise Catherine's foibles and touching innocence. Many of the mistakes that Margaret Oliphant talks about in her description of Catherine in the title above come from Catherine's extreme innocence. Jane Austen's heroine arrives in Bath as a young debutante and, ent .....

.... comes across “a man who [hung] himself.” (p. 12) According to Catholicism, suicide is considered a sin, Through the use of loaded language, Conrad assumes a direct relationship between the story of Adam and Eve to the man who hung himself. As Marlow and his companions walked through the countryside, they eventually wound up in a different location, an “inhabited devastation” where there are people, a place where sinners reside. This is a large contrast from where Marlow started out, which was seemingly the Garden of Eden. Reading the section of the story that I did consider the Garden of Eden, I felt quite empty, as if it was a pl .....

.... and thus the source of affliction and terror. (p. 5) In Luther's usage, the word "conscience" has a negative connotation, because it is put into play only as a result of sin: "If there is any conscience or fear present, this is a sign that this [passive] righteousness has been withdrawn, that grace has been lost sight of, and that Christ is hidden and out of sight." (p. 8) The comfort of conscience is the righteousness of faith. (p. 5) Luther delineates a series of dichotomies: morality/faith, works/grace, secular society/religion (p. 7), conscience/joy, works/faith, earthly/heavenly, Adam/Jesus, sin/righteousness, death/eternal life, flesh/spirit, La .....
