.... has to wonder if he has experienced death himself, and some how come back. The story is mainly about a teenage girl, soon to be done with high school, that is thrown off of a balcony, and dies. She wakes, in her own bed, and does not know she is dead. She then proceeds to go down to the kitchen only to be ignored. Her family receives a alarming call, and goes to the police station, only to find out that their beloved daughter is dead. She finds an old friend, that died a while back, and he helps her. She wishes to seek the one who terminated her existence. The place that she goes is to earth, yet it is different than the earth mortals know so di .....

.... She refers to it in the introduction as “a haunted house…. Still I proudly declare that there is something queer about it” (p. 630). This shows that from the beginning, the narrator can see something is wrong with this house. Her husband responds to her discomfort of the house as a father would respond to a child. “John laughs at me, of course, but one expects that in a marriage.” This shows that women were not taken serious and their opinions were merely laughed at. One part of the house that could be misinterpreted in this story is the window in the nursery. In most cases, a window symbolizes a view of hope. In this story though, the window has .....

.... at the ranch and because of that he is isolated from the other ranch workers. He has no friends or families so he is all by himself at the ranch. George and Lennie are two ranch workers with a dream of owning a piece of land where they can live and work on. These two are completely different, but because they have no one else in their lives they come to consider each other friends. When Lennie and George camped out in the forest George said, “With us it ain’t like that. We got a future. We got somebody to talk to that gives a damn about us.” What that quote means is George and Lennie are not alone; they got each other to care for one another. Next, when .....

.... should break out because of this ancient blood feud, then they would pay with their life. Afterwards the Montagues speak with Benvolio about Romeo. Romeo follows his parents’ exit with an entrance and talks with Benvolio about his love life. He is feeling depressed because of love sickness for a girl named Rosaline (a girl that he cannot have for she refuses to get together with anyone).(SPACE)Scene 2:That afternoon, Paris works on his hopes for a marriage to Juliet. He speaks to Capulet and tries to arrange a deal with him for Juliet’s hand. Although Capulet respects Paris, he is still unsure, and ultimately, no agreement is reached. Paris is invit .....

.... like characteristics as it is being described by Hawthorne in the opening chapters. The house is described as "breathing through the spiracles of one great chimney"(Hawthorne 7). Hawthorne uses descriptive lines like this to turn the house into a symbol of the lives that have passed through its halls. The house takes on a persona of a living creature that exists and influences the lives of everybody who enters through its doors. (Colacurcio 113) "So much of mankind's varied experience had passed there - so much had been suffered, and something, too, enjoyed - that the very timbers were oozy, as with the moisture of a heart." (Hawthorne 27). Hawthorne turns .....

.... that Trinidadian society dictates for men and women. Naipaul not only uses these notions to show the differences of the sexes, but takes another step in telling anecdotes of characters showing their anti-masculine and anti- feminine features. This will lead to the discovery that our definitions of masculinity and femininity prove that those characteristics apply to the opposite sex in which the women often act like men, and the men often act like women. All of this will be discussed through looking at both male and female characters in the book as well as the boy narrator of the book. Finding examples of manliness are found with great ease considering .....

.... not a hardheaded "realistic" approach to society and polotics but a rather sentimental, utopian vision of the world as a "raft sailing through space, with, potentially, plenty of provisions for everybody"(Grennblatt 106). Animal Farm is a satirical beast fable which has been heralded as Orwell's lightest, gayest work(Brander 126). It is a novel based on the first thirty years of the Soviet Union, a real society pursuing the ideal of equality. His book argues that this kind of society has not worked and could not (Meyers 102). Animal Farm has also been known as a an enter-taining, witty tale of a farm whose oppressed animals, capable of speech and reason, ove .....

.... stands out in my mind is the scene with Stradlater in the "can." If you remember Stradlater was getting ready for his other date while Holden watched him. "Stradlater was a secret slob" in public he always looked good and got all the girls but in fact he was a slob. His razor that made him look so good was "rusty as hell and full on lather and hair and crap." This proves that he is a slob to "never clean it or anything." If you think about it that's even worst than Old Ackley. At least Ackley knew that he had a problem, that he need to do something about his face; but Stradlater thought that he was a great guy. He actually thought that there was nothing wro .....
