.... becomes obvious from the very beginning when she calls them “sweet blessings” and “darlings”. Nora thinks of her children as something sort of like a plaything, a doll maybe. Her description of their “red cheeks! -- like apples and roses” emphasizes the children’s doll like appearance, with an imagery of bright red cheeks like those painted on dolls. Nora even goes as far as calling her baby her “sweet little baby doll.” Her throwing the children’s things around shows her carelessness to realize that she is the mother of her children, not their owner like one who owns toys.

It is this insularity from a changed world no longer structured by traditional values that had sent young men to war, that inspires him to go east to New York, where he endeavors to learn about the bond market. .....

.... What are we too think of when we hear this? In Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain brings out the obvious interrelatedness that we all share with each other. This book is in the hands of many intelligent readers and it should not be underestimated by the power that it may hold. Although, it must hold to its meaning, we can not allow it to steer us to the wrong's of the world today. Shelly Fishkin suggests Mark Twain has "obscured" the African American roots when writing Huck Finn. Jim, as suggested by Fishkin, has been plagued with a dialect that should not be represented by the African American race during that time. The question is raised by Fishkin as to .....
