When Kurtz found himself on his deathbed and he said �gThe horror, The horror referring to his life in inner Africa, which caused him disintegration.

.... tells us what a wonderful loving person his aunt is. In the first section the speaker tells us how his aunt would wake up at the crack of dawn and build a fire. Then she would begin cooking porridge. In the second section of the poem the speaker talks about waking up "out of the nagging nightmare." Then the speaker describes his aunt a little bit more, "her soft but husky call." In the last section the speaker talks about how kind his aunt is to take care of his brothers and sisters while his parents "strayed to the copper mines." This poem makes me think about my grandma and all the wonderful things she has done for me. The speakers aunt is an ol .....

.... their father that he was a black man and that in Muncie, they, too, would be black. Although the boys looked white, and their father who passed for Italian had married a white woman from Muncie, their grandmother was a black woman from Kentucky now settled in Muncie with only the barest means of subsistence. The boys first stayed with relatives who could not afford to keep them and eventually were raised by a black woman, Miss Dora, who had no kinship relation with them, but believed they deserved a chance. Greg Williams was singled out by his family and his father to excel, to leave Muncie, and to make his fortune through his brains and academic prowess. .....

.... on the island, when a little boy with a mulberry-coloured birthmark on his face informed everyone of a �beastie,� which he apparently saw on the previous night. At the time, this was dismissed by the older boys as his imagination, but even at that early stage it was evident that the younger children were troubled by the little boy�s words. It must be noted at this point that there was no definite physical appearance to the beast because it was assumed to be the over-active imagination of little children at work. At the same time it is obvious that Golding uses the early chapters in the book to set the scene for the chaos and terror of the beast that follows. .....

.... of the wallpaper, ugly though it may be, symbolically putting her own views of herself onto it. Eventually, the woman loses all ability to distinguish reality from illusion and completely loses her mind. Gilman suggests to the reader that by accepting the norms and roles of society and thus repressing one’s true desires and feelings can only lead to a loss of identity and sanity. This attitude is brought to light in the reader’s mind through observance of the woman’s increasing mental instability as she gives more and more life to the wallpaper each time she resumes writing. At the beginning of her story, the woman reveals much about .....

.... for the first time in years, it was almost like he was talking to a famous movie star. Daisy didn�t feel that way. She used to love him, but not anymore. Also, if Gatsby and Daisy met under other circumstances, such as each of them having no money and Daisy not being married, their relationship may have worked out. But because of the circumstances, their relationship was doomed to fail. Of all of the relationships, I think that the most honest was between Nick Carraway and Jordan Baker. This is ironic because it was Jordan�s compulsive dishonesty that ruined the relationship. They weren�t secretly seeing each other behind other people�s ba .....

.... his wife’s (Elizabeth Proctor) place. Everything gets out of hand and suddenly there supposedly is witchcraft in Salem, and the children involved in this all lie there way out, and accuse innocent villagers of devilish work. One obvious reason Abigail Williams has for blaming John Proctor’s wife, Elizabeth Proctor, of witchcraft, is the fact that she is madly in love with John Proctor. Elizabeth knows this, too, and has even caught her husband with Abigail once. She then got rid of her as a maid, and put her on the road. When she is talking to her uncle, Reverend Parris, she even mentions that “She [Elizabeth Proctor] hates me, uncle. .....

.... by their orthodox faith, dealt with the ungodly wilderness around them. Set in Salem during the early witchcraft day of then, Young Goodman Brown�s experience in the dark, evil forest correlated and would have been recognized by Puritans as a symbol of mistrust of their own corrupt hearts and faculties. Just as man could not trust the shadows and figures he saw hidden in the forest, he could not trust his own desires. Those desires had to be tested through his journey into the forest. Those evil spirits constantly tortured the Puritan, constantly reminding him of his sin and the battle in his own heart. Hawthorne used the presence of these demon in "Y .....
