.... around him. One way to explain his actions and the misfortunes that usually follow is to conclude that Okonkwo has bad luck. Another way of looking at this fact is to say that the events are a result of coincidence. However, I disagree with these views, and instead assert that Achebe deliberately made sure that after each of Okonkwo's outbursts, a tragedy befell him and those around him. I think that Achebe could have been trying to hint to the reader that placing too much emphasis on acting manly is bad. One example of Okonkwo's quick reflexes is seen when he kills Ikemefuna because he did not want his fellow clansmen to think that he was weak. After the Ike .....

.... to do the right thing. Thus, responsibility helps individuals to evolve and mature. Taking care of yourself, as well as others is an enormous responsibility. In both books, the main characters must take care of themselves because they do not know who they can trust. The boys in the Lord of the Flies basically have to live their own lives, for they are on an island with no one to run to except themselves, or some of the other boys that they trust. Although, the ones they trust are already fending for themselves. The characters all go through changes as they adjust to their new world, and become different people because of it. In example to this, Jack seem .....

.... (Pg. 357) Dollarhide also uses personification describing the sea as a person. "Down the length and breadth of the swamp others were fighting to save what little they could, maybe even their lives." (Pg. 357) The author bonds the nature with the woman. Her house is built to ride with the flow of the flood. The only things around her are nature. Another images that runs through the story are the trees. The planks of the trees sounds like they are crying in the dark. "Planks creaked and she could distinguish the sounds of object being knocked over." (Pg. 358) The planks sounds like they are scratching on the wall as if it's going to tear its way i .....

.... character in this story in that we the audience do not see a change in his mentality towards hunting: he still feels the same. The author also uses the Man-to-Man conflict of Zaroff hunting Rainsford to contrast what Rainsford was going to the Amazon to do. Thomas Wolfe shows in "The Child by Tiger," that dealing with the pressures of racism in the rural south can cause ones barrier against it to finally collapse. In this story, Thomas Wolfe uses the repeated symbol of the cat to show that Dick Prosser was like a caged animal that wanted to lash out at the world, and when pushed to the edge, the symbolic cage opened, and he was set loose. The use of Man-ve .....

In the army he is subjected to endless drills and humiliations and is almost beaten to death. Candide escapes and, after being degraded by good Christians for being .....

.... to its beauty; to us it is something banal and unimpressive. He goes on to mention the twisting streets, this represents his indecision, over which road to take and what impact the "road" will have on his life later on. There are so many options leading up to the overwhelming question: whether he will bare his soul to another person and risk being judged? Prufrock even goes so far as to compare himself to Shakespeare's Hamlet, renowned for his indecision, and also Polonious, too cautious and forever politic, always weighing things in his mind and never acting on impulse. Breaking from his reverie, Prufrock abruptly switches to his other world, of things meas .....
