.... their use of setting. Dickey's Deliverance and Ellison's Invisible Man through their use of setting, force their protagonists to come to a realization of self-awareness. In Deliverance, Dickey illustrates how man, removed from "civilized" society, reverts back to his primitive instinct. Man, in this primitive state, becomes the most dangerous creature that roams the earth. His ability to reason becomes utilized only on the aspects of survival; laws cease to exist and man justifies and acts out any action that ensures his survival. He shows that it is not nature one should fear but rather man, nature is a neutral force that only provides context for man .....

.... abandoned the faith to become a ham importer. His sister, Doris, was eight years older than him, and played a key part several of Salinger's later characters. Following the role of a later character Holden Caulfield, Salinger started in a public grammar school, then enrolled in McBurney School, a private school in Manhattan, along with several others in the area.

.... relationship between host and guest. The Calypso episode explains how a man must be faithful to his wife in his heart. The Calypso scene opens with a description of how beautiful her island of meadows and flowers is and how “even a deathless god who came upon that place would gaze in wonder, heart entranced with pleasure” (154). The story proceeds to describe the goddess as having a “breathtaking voice” (154) and being “lustrous” (155).

.... working selflessly for others but the money grabbers who are simply jealous of what they have. People from privileged backgrounds cannot understand how a kitchen fitter’s son came to be living the good lie while they live life trying to scrape money together. Despite being called Posh there is nothing Posh about Victoria she was simply given the name the same as Sporty, Scary, Baby and Ginger making out that she is a self obsessed fashion victim (“Shall I war the little Gucci dress the little Gucci dress or the little Gucci dress?) only an idiot would think that she was really like that. We don not hate because they have lots of money The Queen of England wh .....

.... mind often. One way that he was on Holden’s mind was how much he cared about D.B. and his personality. "He used to be just a regular writer… Now he’s out in Hollywood being a prostitute". Holden often thought that D.B should leave his job in Hollywood writing movies and go back to his old life writing short stories. He should do that so that he could stop trying to please the people and just please himself. Another way that D.B was on Holden’s mind was how Holden thought about the many stories that D.B. would read him at night. When thinking of this it would remind Holden of the good times at home, this was a time when he felt comfortable and was a memory tha .....

.... as slaves. During the post-Reconstruction era, lynching was thought to be a rational punishment since the law was out of order there was no other alternative. Most whites believed that blacks were brutes and that they should be destroyed. During slavery, lynching of slaves hardly existed because if they lynched their slaves they would be destroying their own property and it would be worthless. But, now that the slaves were free, they were no longer property and were worthless so why not get rid of them? After much political and emotional interest in lynching, Ida B. Wells launched her anti-lynching in 1892 in which 241 people were lynched. Thro .....

.... or status/class obstacles will be inevitable conflicts that my prevent one from achieving deserved success. I strongly believe that minorities are not given the opportunities to be highly positioned or respected regardless of their notable abilities in their performances. Since many aspects of the American culture have seemingly been built on the myths surrounding the Dream, it encourages employees to work harder in order for the employers to profit more. Although the Dream is always stressed, my opinion is that it actually serves to help the higher positioned or class individuals in protection of their power and control over others. Thus, I believe that we .....
