.... other clergy from this time did not ordinarily get many minutes outside, definitely not enough to tan from. If he was outside, he was disobeying monastic rules. Secondly, Chaucer tells the reader the Monk has many dainty horses in his stable (166). The Monk not only has one, but many horses. They are all well kept with beautiful color (205), and the tack they wear is also expensive and extravagant (177-179). Possessions like this were forbidden for the clergy, especially flashy things. Lastly, Chaucer describes the Monk as wearing a coat of fine gray fur, garnished sleeves, and a gold pin. Actually we are told the pin he wears is in the shape of a love .....

.... gain so much power that they become just as power hungry and corrupt as their human master. The theme in the novel being that in every society there are leaders who will, if given the chance, likely abuse their position. Old Major is a prize white boar who helps point out to the animals that no animal in England is free. He continues to tell the animals that the their labor is stolen by man, who benefits alone. The animals in return get near nothing, just enough to keep them away from starvation. Old Major gave many speeches to the farm animals about hope and the future. He is the main animal who got the rebellion started even though he died before it actually .....

.... related and supposed to love each other. Pap talks and acts mean towards Huck, even though Huck is his own son. Not only is Pap mentally abusive toward Huck, but he is also physically abusive toward him. "But by and by pap got too handy with his hick'ry, and I couldn't stand it. I was all over welts"(24). The way that Pap treats Huck shows the inhumanity of man toward other men and helps to develop the major theme of the novel. The dishonesty of the King and the Duke toward the Wilkes girls also help to develop the major theme of the novel. The Duke and the King take their cruelty to another level because they steal and lie to the Wilkes girls, who are le .....

.... in Moll and seduces her into becoming his lover. "He took these freedoms with me… when this was over he stayed but a little while, but he put almost a handful of gold in my hand…" (Defoe 26). Moll lets down her guard and meets with the brother frequently. "… so putting the purse into my bosom, I made no more resistance to him, but let him do just what he pleased and as often as he pleased…" (Defoe 30). Later in the story, Moll becomes acquainted with a woman who persuades Moll to work for her as a prostitute. Even though Moll is now married, she agrees to sell her body for profit. "I found presently that whether I was a whore or a wife, I was to pass for .....

.... utterance with the longevity of literary texts. He achieves this by discussing the nature of "Fame" and the difficulties that arise from it. "Fame" can both destroy and create. It can result in the eternal preservation of great works and their creators. However, Chaucer is quick to note the precarious nature of "fame" noting the unreliable process of attaining it and its potentially momentary existence. Every creator with their respective work/s naturally crave and desire "fame"; they want their subjects to remain fresh in the minds of their audience. Chaucer, while neither totally praising the written nor the oral, reveals how essentially the wri .....

.... some of the most popular ideas and values of the day in a negative, questioning light. In particular, he shows the negative consequences of conformity and highlights individuality as a way to survive. He wants us to recognize how one is controlled and stifled by society. The leading character in this novel, addressing what has gone wrong with society, is Yossarian. He is the only one who recognizes the full craziness of what everyone is living for: wealth, false happiness, society's approval, etc. He is one of the few who tries to fight the power and elitism that have become so sought after in America. Throughout the novel, he tries to find a way to live a .....

.... The boys were so eager for the the fake money that they suffered electric shocks to grab it. I think this sort of surprised the audience, beings that the boys never gave up the fight. It was as thought giving up would have meant giving up much more than money or a boxing match. It would have been a loss of dignity and pride, none of them wanted to lose that. Also, by the time the boys were given the chance to chase the money, they were numb from pain. I don't think the new torture methods were really affecting the boys. Their bodies became somewhat immune to the blows after awhile. My battle royal was a little bit different from the boys in the story. .....

.... out the poet with out even knowing who he was at first. This scene or scenes really lets you have a good feel for what this man is portraying. Cyrano is a man that was very generous. Many people have different attributes that make them different from other people, but most of them find a way around them. I think that Cyrano shouldn't have let his nose interfere with what he really wanted in his life. Another scene that helps out with the similarities of the two titles is C.D.'s and Cyrano's living conditions. Cyrano lived with the soldiers in the quarters, and had very little spending money. C.D. lived with the Firemen most of the time, he also as a f .....
