.... because she is dressed in rags and pedestrians are unkind to her. Higgins calls Eliza “you squashed cabbage leaf, you disgrace to the noble architecture of these columns, you incarnate insult to the English language.” (p. 21) The audience’s sympathy is intensified when we see Eliza’s wretched lodgings. These lodgings are much contrasted to those of Higgins in Wimploe Street. Not only does Shaw play on the audience’s sympathy for an impoverished Eliza, but also presents her insecurity to us. In the scene with the taxi-man, she appears significantly defensive in her response concerning the cost of the cab ride. Eliza feels humiliated by the taxi-man’s .....

.... he was trying to get the $20,000 insurance money so his family could live a happy life. The main conflict in Death of a Salesman deals with the confusion and frustration of Willy Loman. These feelings are caused by his inability to face the realities of modern society. Willy's most prominent delusion is that success is dependent upon being well-liked and having personal attractiveness. Willy builds his entire life around this idea and teaches it to his children. When Willy was young, he had met a man named Dave Singleman who was so well liked that he was able to make a living simply by staying in his hotel room and telephoning buyers. When Dave Single .....

.... should first help themselves, otherwise those who help are going to be taken advantage of and at the end they will be left with nothing. Gregor is a good example of this moral of the story because he always looking out for his family, and always helping them out. One example of a sacrifice that he makes is when Gregor works in a company where his parents have a very high debt, and Gregor works there in order to pay the debt. In his mind he admits, “If I didn’t hold back for my parents sake, I would have quit long ago” (4). From this quote it is obvious that while trying to make his parents happy, Gregor has to live a sad live were h .....

.... to make him out to be a rough tough boy. "Boy, I sat at that goddam bar till around one o'clock or so, getting drunk as a bastard. I could hardly see straight." (pg. 150) Holden tried all he could to fit in. He drank, cursed and criticized life in general to make it seem he was very knowing of these habits. Holden used the term 'phonies' to describe more than a few people in this book. He used the term to be what a person is if they don't act naturally and follow other people's manners and grace. Holden didn't like phonies, he thought of them as if they were trying to show off. He didn't like it when they showed off because it seemed so fake and .....

.... line“whirled pearl smoke,” signifies confusion which heightens the unsureness of the situation. Vulnerability becomes evident as the swimmer suffers “cunning furtive spasms.” The challenge heightens and the swimmer is represented as an “angry isolate.” Like a computer game special affects are added in to increase the danger such as the lightning and the darkness. Imagery such as “Deliberately fracturing glass moving down through pools” conveys the mental picture of the water being glass shattered with every stroke. Shattering glass suggesting danger and fear. “Barely missing the moon’s pale hiss,& .....

.... up mainly by his mother. His mother moved his family to her uncle’s house, where she distanced herself from Hawthorne. After she left he was brought up by his grandmother. She was an avid Puritan and instilled these beliefs into Nathaniel Hawthorne. He felt so distanced from his family he added a “w” to his last name so it would be different. Hawthorne’s education was not the norm for a Puritan boy. He was injured when he was nine, so he did not go to school, which was no problem for Hawthorne who was not a big fan of school at the time. This time allowed for Hawthorne to explore and do many things other c .....

.... Shakespeare must have derived his forest spirits from oral folk traditions, since the mysterious people of the forest might be in turn helpful mischievous or sinister. In "Henry IV Part I", the king relates a folk legend that "some night-tripping fairy" might steal babies and leave a fairy child or someone else's child. People may have believed, or half-believed, in the fairies. They might also have been imaginary figures of fun that personify nature. Another kind of medieval play in contrast with Midsummer is Everyman it refers with death directly along with the metaphor "life is a precious possession." If you have many rituals, you must "invest" them .....

.... him as just a black man living in a white man’s world. He was thought to be a bad person just because he was black. In reality, people might have liked him if they just got to know him. Tom Robinson can be compared to the senseless slaughter of a mockingbird beacuse he was killed just simply for the color of his skin. Another character who was symbolized by the mockingbird was Boo Radley. Boo was a man who was seen by society to be dangerous. Actually, Boo was kind and gentle. Children played games making fun of him because he never came out of his house. Boo came to Jem and Scouts rescue when they were attcaked by Bob Ewell going ho .....
