.... the two is the fundamental actions that they do to accumulate their wealth. Lying down to create his wealth also shows us that he is so lazy that doing anything for his money is something that is just not conceivable to him. He states this earlier on in the play (“I wound no earth with ploughshares; fat no beasts to feed the shambles”). His opinion on working an honest days work is that it is bad and that what he is doing is right. This demonstrates that he has no conception of what is right and wrong. Another analogy of this is that he is so corrupt and disabled by his greed that he is in fact an invalid whom can not do any more then he is .....

.... over again with his lover- Daisy, Nike Carroway warned him to give it up, because it was impossible. Unforturately, Mr.Gatsby was not believe it. So at the end, Mr.Gatsby's dream still had not came true because Daisy did not break up with Tom and go with him. It can be seen in the last chapter on the novel, when Gatsby was murder, Daisy went to somewhere else with her husband, and did not go to Gatsby's funeral. I called up Daisy half and hour after we found him, called her instinctively and without hersitation. But she and Tom had gone away early that afternoon, and taken baggage with th .....

.... idea of the state of nature is that nature (including man) is beautiful, yet viscous. Man, in fact, is more dangerous than the animals because he has the ability to reason. This ability makes man compete for things that are not tangible, like honor and dignity. This supports Hobbes' idea that man is self-centered and desires power (64). He has based his conception of mankind on the idea that all men are equal, even if others possess different strengths and talents. He argues: For such is the nature of men that, howsoever they may acknowledge many others to be more witty or more eloquent or more learned, yet they will hardly believe there be so many so wise as .....

.... several examples seem to lend themselves well to a discussion of this sarcastic view. In the beginning of the novel, it would seem that both Huck Finn and Jim are trapped in some way and wishing to escape. For Huck, it is the violence and tyranny of his drunken father. Kept in a veritable prison, Huck wishes desperately to escape. Jim feels the need to escape after hearing that his owner, Miss Watson, wishes to sell him down the river-a change in owners that could only be for the worse. As they escape separately and rejoin by chance at an island along the river, they find themselves drawn to get as far as possible from their home. The .....

.... contrast between the modernistic character of Humbert Humbert against the post-modern Americans that he encounters. Forget all that, I honestly thought the movie to be a convincing love story. On the surface level it was about an obsessive man and his love for nymphets, who met , the object of his desires. There were differences between the movie and the novel, yet I felt some scenes were left out of the movie that did not hurt the story at all. Also, some scenes were added which actually strengthened the story line in the movie. I bet professional critics say the new version of did not measure up, well I loved it. Dominique Swain was awesome (a litt .....

.... and different resolutions. One obvious similarity is that it is a story about good vs. evil. They also have a main character that has sort of magical powers. In Beowulf, Beowulf is the main character. He is able to defeat powerful monsters, either with his bare hands or a weapon. In Paradise Lost, God is able to defeat Satan by kicking him out of heaven. Both stories are written in a poetic style. These stories both involve main characters being leaders of a group of people. Beowulf is the leader of the Geats. God is the leader of angels of heaven. Another similarity is that they are both based on things that supposedly happened. Beowulf is based on e .....

.... being an extremely versatile playwright, producing perhaps the most powerful and influential tragedies and comedies. The historic story of King Lear, which fits the tragedy mold, follows the family problems revolving around King Lear and the Earl of Gloucester. The story begins when the 80-year-old King of Britain decides to retire and divide his land among his three daughters: Goneril, Regan, and Cordelia. Cordelia, King Lear's youngest daughter, is almost immediately dispossessed of the rights to her land, and is cast from the kingdom after she does not profess her love to her father right away. With Cordelia stripped of her heir, her share is cut amongst .....

.... head in the lion’s mouth. I want you to overcome ‘em with yeses, undermine ‘em with grins, agree ‘em to death and destruction, let ‘em swoller you till they vomit or bust wide open”. In other words, his grandfather was telling him to conform to the white peoples way of life in order to get ahead. I believe that the story had a deeper meaning than the aforementioned one. I believe that if the reader were to take a deeper look into all of the symbolism in the story, one would find that the summation of all the symbolism is equal to not only the struggle of this black boy, but the struggle of blacks at the time in which .....
