.... is convicted even though circumstantial evidence is all but presented. His lawyer, Atticus Finch describes the case in this quote, "In our courts when it's a white man's word against a black man's, the white man always wins. They're ugly, but those are the facts of life." There is a sense of support for the African-Americans present in the novel too. Mr. Dolphus Raymond states his opinions of discrimination to Dill perfectly, "You aren't thin-hided, it just makes you sick, doesn't it?" Atticus also tells his children some very good advice for the future, "As you grow older you'll see white men cheat black men every day of your life, but let me tell yo .....

.... being married, and that Wickham was forced into marrying her. Mrs. Bennet's strong desire to marry off her children and her unsatisfactory attempts at matchmaking show that in her society, marriage is held in high regard. It is a person's personal worth and the transfer of family fortunes that occurs during a marriage in this time that is probably the most important factor, not how the couple gets along or likes each other.

The language of is astonishingly simple and the verbiage frugal, especially for the period in which it is written. .....

.... relying on God’s Providence while also realizing their own power to make things happen. The novel shows the development of Homo Economico, the economic man. With the voyages to the new colonies, many lower and middle class men prove able to create their own fortunes overnight. The concept of the Great Chain of Being becomes lost when members of the lower classes become wealthier than many of the upper class aristocrats. Now many men from the lower classes buy land and/or titles. When lower class members become landowners, the idea of Divine Right to rule over the land no longer proves valid. Defoe illustrates society’s changes through Crusoe, who battles wi .....

.... dagger was viciously and maliciously used on someone. Shakespeare most likely put this in as premonition of murder and death to come later in the story. The next reference, although indirect, in Act 2, Scene 2, Lines 5-11 is when Lady MacBeth talks about smearing the blood from the dagger on the faces and hands of the servants that she drugged. In Act 2, Scene 2, Lines 11-12, "I laid their daggers ready; He could not miss them". Notice how she said THEIR daggers. She is setting up the innocent servants of the king, making it look like they committed treason. Also in this scene is the first reference of blood pertaining to guilt. MacBeth says this in Act 2, .....

.... of atavism that prevails throughout the rest of the poem. He uses terms that refer to creation as he describes a darkness as "mankind-making," "bird-" "beast-" and "flower-fathering," and "all-humbling." This darkness is represents the nothingness from which the world evolved, and we also know it is a great power by the descriptor "all-humbling." According to this first stanza the same darkness will also mark the end of the world when the end of the world when the "last light" breaks and the seas are silenced. This stanza establishes a cycle of darkness before creation and a darkness after destruction that lays a symbolic foundation for the rest of the .....

.... peoples purpose until it was too late. In Heart of Darkness the effect of the white people was clearly more wretched than in Things Fall Apart. The natives in Heart of Darkness became diseased by the white people. They had never experienced the illnesses that the white people had brought in from Europe. "Brought from all the recesses of the coast in all the legality of time contracts, lost in uncongenial surroundings, fed on unfamiliar food, they sickened, became inefficient, and were then allowed to crawl away and rest.(p. 82)" In addition, the white people hired the natives to work for them on ships.
