.... Sir Charles Baskerville was slayed by this vicious hound. As the story begins to develop, Holmes sends Watson to Devonshire with Sir Henry to gather information on the recent murder.

They portrayed themselves as brother and sister, but as you will find out later, they were more intimate than that.

One night while Watson and Sir Henry were in the Hall, they observed Mr. Barrymore (the But .....

.... to enlist. After enlisting he finds himself just sitting around with nothing to do. He manages to make friends with two other soldiers, John Wilson and Jim Conklin. John was as excited about going to war as Henry, while Jim was confident about the success of the new regiment. Henry started to realize after a few days of marching, that their regiment was just wandering aimlessly, going in circles, like a vast blue demonstration. They kept marching on without purpose, direction, or fighting. Through time Henry started to think about the battles in a different way, a more close and experienced way, he started to become afraid that he might run from battle when du .....

.... to fulfill the role laid down by Janie's grandmother, a mule. Janie goes along with this for nearly a year, until change comes walking down the road in the form of Joe Starks.

Joe's dream is to become "big man" and pleads Janie to take part in his dreams of the future. He proposes marriage to her, and arranges a rendezvous at the bottom of the road at sunup the next morning.

.... her every move in order to relearn the dance. The reader knows this is an act, and it shows her submissiveness to Torvald. After he teaches her the dance, he proclaims "When I saw you turn and sway in the tarantella--my blood was pounding till I couldn't stand it" showing how he is more interested in Nora physically than emotionally. When Nora responds by saying "Go away, Torvald! Leave me alone. I don't want all this", Torvald asks "Aren't I your husband?". By saying this, he is implying that one of Nora's duties as his wife is to physically pleasure him at his command. Torvald also does not trust Nora with money, which exemplifies Torvald's tre .....

.... Eater, I would have done something to help him in some fashion. I think that I am more of a leader than a follower… more of an activist. I stand for my rights as well as other people’s rights. I was very secure in my feelings through the book in that I was brought up to have an open mind about others racial backgrounds as well as my own. The whole concept of someone disliking someone else due to a racial difference baffles me. Differences between people are the one thing that holds are species together. We embrace it, but yet use it to discriminate, separate, and emotionally destroy others. In Black Like Me, John was a white man that stepped in .....

.... “Thou told’st me thou didst hold him in thy hate.” Iago says: Despise me if I do not. Three great ones of the city, In personal suit to make me his lieutenant, Off-capped to him; and, by the faith of man, I know my price; I am worth no worse a place.

.... though it gave some light. Within three feet of the panes was a wall, and the light came down from far above between two lofty buildings, as from a very small opening in a dome. Still further to satisfactory arrangement, I procured a green folding screen, which might entirely isolate Bartleby from my sight, though, not remove him from my voice." The quotation describes how the narrator secludes Bartleby from society. Even his window, usually a form of escape, results in Bartleby being trapped behind another wall, thus reinforcing his total isolation. The irony lies in the fact that the narrator, while trying to isolate Bartleby, becomes affected by it, so m .....

.... talent lied; his gift was found in writing fictional tales engulfed in a sea of "magical realism." Garcia Marquez centers around this very special angel; an angel who was placed in a small, quiet simple town, for a good reason-- which was to have a married couple, Pelayo and Elisenda, profit and become wealthy as a result of his surreal presence. Garcia Marquez's use of both the earthly and the divine are quite interesting, because he uses the angel to convey both a spiritual presence as well as an earthly desire to live well in the real world, which in turn ultimately enriches the main characters in the story, Pelayo and Elisenda. The author does not .....
