Emily began to think that some day she and Homer would marry, and when things went wrong she poisoned him. As time passed people began to wonder, and a .....

.... our interview.” (A Question of Murder pg. 145). From this example it is apparent that Wright once again portrays Salter as being romantic, and sexually appealing to other women. As a result, Wright has projected his main character, Charlie Salter, as a stereotypical novel hero in the area of romance. Strength is another way in which Wright portrays Charlie Salter as a typical novel hero. Strength comes in many shapes and forms. In the earlier novels Salter was somewhat obese, and definitely out of shape. While laying in bed one morning, he said to his wife, “My physique isn’t what it once was.” (A Question of Murder pg.24). .....

.... her own son by saying he isn't a very good father if he chooses to take his kids to Florida. When the grandmother says, "I wouldn't take my children in any direction with a criminal like that aloose in it" (354), she's implying that she is a much better parent than Bailey is. She says this hoping that Bailey would feel guilty about his decision to go to Florida, and as a result of that guilt, get him to change his mind. Bailey"s reactions toward his mother reinforce the fact that she is domineering, even to the point of being intimidating, In the beginning of the story, Bailey is shown to be nervous, as "He was sitting on the edge of his chair at the table. .....

.... slave-trade, the reader must turn to the perspective of Oroonoko. Through him the reader sees how horrible the treatment of slaves is and how inhuman the slave-trade is. It might escape me, but I do not recall any moment in the story where the narrator takes its upon herself to discuss the slave trade. It seems that in that way that she is disconnecting herself from any responsibility. One could immediately say that this is because of her position at the time. Behn, being a woman, faced many prejudices from male writers and critics, although she was praised by some. Yet the anthology introduction states that she openly signed her name and talked back to criti .....

.... still remains to be the coveted precedent in what others look at for guidelines toward prosperous living. We can see this idea put into play with the hundreds of thousands of immigrants that enter our country every year- the hundreds of lost people, who are ‘running’ from what they saw as true hell in their native lands. Why are they coming here? They must obviously see something that many of us born here have taken for granted our entire lives. Americans are stubborn people. We have been given a world to live in, where by law, no one is oppressed or forced to do anything. But given even this amount of liberty, too many of us feel it isn’t enough. They c .....

.... I really understand life? The tone was calm the whole way through, almost like a campfire story. The playwright treats all characters the same. The language definitely has an accent, I think they do speak a little slow, and relaxed. This does reflect the language of any small town. (The playwright wrote "hull" instead of "whole") Central theme: We don't understand life until it is over with. I'm not good at symbolism. It wasn't boring. To me that is a sign of an above average book. The end was a interesting how the portrayed the dead. Wilder, Isabel. The foreword in The Alcestiad by Thornton Wilder. New York City.

.... letter that is to be sent to the Pope regarding the validity of the King's marriage to Catherine. More compliments Wolsey on his phrasing and avoids the content of the dispatch directly, except to say that he feels the council should be informed before it goes to Italy, this response sparks Wolsey to reply: Would you tell the council? Yes, I believe you would. You're a constant regret to me, Thomas. If you could just see facts flat on, without that moral squint; with just a little common sense, you could have been a statesman. (Bolt 10) More's non-committal response to Wolsey's question is also cha .....

.... as if she isn't afraid of being alone because the author says, "and she opened and spread her arms to them in welcome", as if she is welcoming the lonely years to come. But the author also makes it appear that she is afraid of being alone as the author states, "she knew she would cry again". The author is leading you into a sense of suspense, not knowing really how she feels. At the end of the story, Brent Mallard, Mrs. Mallard's husband arrived home not knowing what all went on. As he entered the house he was shocked at Josephine's piercing cry. At this point Richard tried to block Mrs. Mallard from seeing Mr. Mallard, but Mrs. Mallard saw him and droppe .....
