.... people that look like him, and possibly feel the same way he does. But he is there because the "white" recruiter told him that he could fly planes, and make America proud. He remembers the clash of his path between what the white man wanted and his path. Tayo became so entranced with the idea that the Japanese were like him that he started to put people he knew at home's faces on the Japanese soldiers. Tayo could not see the reason for killing the Japanese, and then when the soldier killed Rocky, it made his path split like a silk string to a spider's web, it went out in all directions. His mind snapped at that exact moment and went into "shell-shock". Tayo s .....

.... from going bankrupt, claiming that he did it for his family. The second example is that Sue would rather Jim make allot of money, and not do medical research- which is what he really wanted to do. The third example is Jim's abdication of his pursuit of medical research do to the lack of profit involved. In his play "All My Sons," Miller makes it apparent that society in general values money and profit more than human life. He shows this by his portrayal of Keller. Keller ships out cracked cylinder heads, aware that in flight they will cause planes to crash, to save his business from being shut down. Furthermore, he goes on to allow the blame to fa .....

.... their lives. As both books unfold, the fear that these characters live in is unimaginable. It seems that they are being held hostage or being kept in prisons, yet they are almost completely free. Winston is living life on camera because of the telescreens that watch his every move, and Offred’s life is supervised by Aunts and guards regardless of the situation. She is taken to the bathroom, watched while she sleeps, and even though she is constantly being watched, her face cannot be seen. She wears white wings on her face so that no one can see her and the only way she can see out is by sneaking short peeks at the outside world. In both of these books, 1 .....

.... is having a nightmare involving falling into a pit of serpents. Malory describes the scene in Arthur's head as if the reader were there with him. What separates the reader from the character is the fact that the reader knows it's only a dream, and Arthur doesn't. This is an interesting way of keeping the reader a safe distance from the goings on of the story. Malory uses this method again, when Arthur and his army are about to negotiate with Mordred and his. One of the King's soldiers notices a snake about to bite him, and he draws his sword to slay it. All that Mordred's men see is the blade being drawn, and a battle immediately ensues. Once again, the r .....

.... thought to be very Christian-like because of his constant preaching to people to buy his relics in order for their sins to be forgiven. Chaucer gives various examples of the Pardoner drinking and exhibiting other unchristian-like practices. Chaucer's use of satire is illustrated very well in the Prologue of "The Pardoner" when the Pardoner truthfully states to the people "and after that I tell my tales; I show bulls of popes, cardinals, patriarchs, and bishops; and I speak a few words in Latin, to give color and flavor to my preaching, and to stir them to devotion." (Chaucer, 339) To think that anybody would bluntly tell of their deceitful ways to people th .....

.... powers. First, there is the society’s opinion of what a woman’s “roles” in life was and how they should act, look, and feel. Second, is her independent nature. The last opposing power she comes across is her undying love for the charming Robert Lebrun. It is the unwritten rule that a woman should marry, have children, and be happy and content with that as their life. Society portrays this to be a woman’s rightful job and duty. A woman should act and look “proper” at all times. This is what Edna is fighting against in this novel. She feels that, though many women agree with this “known” rule, it isn’t fair. For six years Edna conforms to these idea .....

.... Dr. Dolittle. Soon after that Stubbins moves in with the Doctor as an apprentice. Together, they decided to go on a voyage. First they needed help to sail the ship. They went to their friend, the hermit, but found that he had been taken by the police for killing a man. They went to the police station and Dr. Dolittle freed him by talking to his dog who witnessed the whole thing and explained how it was an accident. After that they set off on a voyage to Spider monkey island where he hopes to find Long Arrow, an Indian who is the greatest naturalist of all time. When they arrive at the island they find Long Arrow and nine other Indians in a cave in which they we .....

.... hamper peoples obsessions and greediness.  In the essay "Some Dreamers of the Golden Dream," the San Bernardino Valleys self-indulgent culture devaluates societys morals and ethics such as religion, law, love, and life. In the San Bernardino Valley, tele-evangelism, Christian gospel spread through television, is prominent.  It is "the California where it is easy to Dial-A-Devotion, but hard to buy a book." (p.4)  It is a society where anyone with money can buy a devotion to God with the dialing of a number.  The usage of religion as a money-making business defiles the sanctity of societys most sacred and cherished belief.  However, money is made s .....
