.... in sports, just so that he does not have to be the "popular guy's friend. Gene knocks Finny off the tree limb and breaks his leg. Everyone at Devon except for Finny suspects that Gene caused Finny to fall off the branch, not Finny's loss of balance. Finny's outlook on the whole situation is very grown up. He did not blame anyone but himself, even though it was not his fault at all. Finny seems as though he will never grow up because he is so immature, with his silly denial of the war's existence, and his habit of always coming up with strange things to do just for fun. Inside he is suffering with the anger and hurt of being excluded from the one thing that h .....

.... wealth the dream becomes devoid and hollow. When the American dream was pure, motivation and ambition were some key aspects of the pure American dream. "He stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a curious way...and distinguished nothing except a single green light"(page.26). It shows how Gatsby was striving for the his goal and trying to accomplish it. When the dream was pure, motivation and self-discipline were present. This quote talks about Gatsby's daily agenda and how in the earlier days he upheld the pure American Dream "No wasting time at Shafters, No more smoking or chewing, Read one improving book or magazine per week, Save $3.00 .....

.... discusses how you can defend yourself from Dracula and other vampires by the possession of a crucifix or practically any consecrated item from the Christian religion can be used to save you from the attack or presence of a vampire. For example, in the latter of the book Van Helsing uses a Host to prevent Dracula to enter his coffin. Another time, during the night Van Helsing and Lucy stay out near the courtyard of Castle Dracula, Van Helsing makes a (Holy circle) with the Host to keep vampires out and to keep Mina safe in the (Holy circle). Another time when the Host is used as a deterrence of vampires is at the time Van Helsing and the other men are goin .....

.... and long life for Lucie and her family- made possible by his sacrifice. This argument also links Carton's death with Christian sacrifice and love. When Carton makes his decision to die, the New Testament verse beginning "I am the Resurrection and the Life" nearly becomes his theme song. The words are repeated a last time at the moment Carton dies. In what sense may we see Carton's dying in Darnay's place as Christ-like? It wipes away his sin, just as Christ's death washed clean man's accumulated sins. For readers who choose the negative view, Carton's death seems an act of giving up. These readers point out that Stryver's jackal has little t .....

.... by death. She never experienced a mother’s gentle touch, for Mary Wollstonecraft died ten days after giving birth. Shelley was also an outcast to her family and the society. Too educated, too open-minded, and too in love with a married man, caused her to become a scandal. Also, the fact that from all the babies she gave birth to, only one survived, made the impression of her not being the perfect parent. Mary Shelley was none other but the mother of death itself, which influenced her novel. “Frankenstein is indeed a birth myth , but one in which the parent who brought death into the world, and all our woe, is not a woman but a man who pushed the masc .....

.... amount to much in his lifetime. He believes that Caesar would rather live a luxurious and relaxed life. Although Caesar didn't think so. Burra, who thought that Caesar would be brilliant if he enlisted and controlled a legion, was exactly correct. Caesar, as history as shown, is a brilliant leader. Caesar believed that by leading you must not just make a plan, you must carry it out with his own manpower. He was always on his horse leading his pack through the bloodshed, not like many other leaders. When Decius was talking to Milo towards the beginning of the story he says that Caesar is known for being "reckless." He recounts the story of the pirates th .....

.... Hemingway gives the reader numerous instances that would lead the reader to devise an acceptable motive, yet human nature tells the reader that this killing could not have been intentional. From a purely objective analysis of the story, the reader would see far more evidence supporting the theory of an intentional killing rather than an accidental one. The clues supporting the idea that Margaret killed Francis intentionally can best be seen when observing and studying the background information on both Francis Macomber, and Margaret herself. (Hemingway 1402). What is also important is that Margot and Francis have very different personalities. This is clearly s .....

.... compared to the events. Her opinion, at times, affected the accuracy and objectivity of the events. As the book progresses, the reader finds out that Miss Rosa begins viewing Thomas Sutpen as a demon. This view could have led to the hazy, negative image the reader gets when she tells her story. She does not necessarily hate Sutpen, she believes he is to blame for the downfall of her family. Her mind became very unorganized, and while trying to place the blame on Sutpen, her thoughts became distorted. It becomes apparent that Miss Rosa’s impression is somewhat old fashioned. This romanticism is seen in her when she becomes involved with the engagement .....
