.... pervert. After reviewing Mr. Antolini, Holden finally concludes that, maybe, he was not making a "flitty" pass at him; he just likes patting people’s heads as they sleep. This is the only time during the novel when Holden thinks twice about considering someone as a pervert. This is also the only time in the novel when Holden considers a positive side. This event, however, does not constitute a significant change, as even Holden himself says, "It's not too bad when the sun's out, but the sun only comes out when it feels like coming out.” The sun, of course, is a reference to decency through the common association of light and goodness. Thus, Holden’s percep .....

.... played a important role in this story . A power struggle between two boys to gain control over someone ore something. In the beginning of this book the conch was regarded as having power and authority: "I'll[Ralph] give the conch to the next person to speak. He can hold it when he is speaking." (Golding 33) The struggle of power in this book was very strong separation of the groups. The conch seemed to be the only common bond between the two groups.

.... Atticus. Atticus was one of the people who showed the largest amount of courage. He showed courage when he shot the dog. He showed courage in not fighting when it seemed to be the only thing to do. But, first and foremost, he showed courage in taking the Robinson case.

Overall, Scout has just as much courage as any of the adults, but it is the courage o .....

It is stated that in the beginning of the book, " By the time Ralph finished blowing the conch the platform was crowded." (p.32). This shows that in the be .....

.... in intercalary chapters. Steinbeck uses intercalary chapters to provide background for the various themes in the novel. This effectively forshadows upcoming events by telling of the general state of the local population in the intercalary chapters and then narrowing it down to how it effects the main characters of the novel, the Joads. Setting the tone of the novel in the readers mind is another function of Steinbeck's intercalary chapters. In chapter three, Steinbeck emaculatly describes the long tedious journey of a land turtle across a desolate highway. From the onset of his journey, the turtle encounters many set backs.
