.... small separations like these that they will be ready for a big separation such as death. He says, “To use myself in jest, Thus by feigned deaths to die.” This means that their parting will not last forever. He also compares their separation to the sun. This comparison is looked at in a sense that the sun goes down every day but comes back the next. So he saying, don’t worry I will be back soon. He later says their souls are as one, so physically their relationship could make it through the toughest of times. He also says, “But think that we are but turned aside to sleep. They who one another keep alive, ne’r parted be.&# .....

.... her hands as she relives the horrors that she and Macbeth have carried out and experienced. Lady Macbeth says “Hell is murky.” She is remembering the murder that she and Macbeth committed. She states, “Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him?” remembering how bloody the Macbeth’s hands were. She felt horrified that they had committed this evil act of murder. These two quotes go together because first she is asking to be filled with the darkness of hell and then says later in the play that hell is murky. These two quotes show that she had asked to be filled with hell and then later after committin .....

.... to speak out what he personally feels to be wrong. The poem is written in free verse. Although the first two stanzas of the poem show the start of regularity and rhyme, this changes to the use of free verse continuing to the end of the poem. This form of free verse allows the poet a freedom for subtle rhythmic variety, for example using assonance. Or making words look like they rhyme. Which is shown quite regularly through this poem. Free verse also complements the style of the poet 'connecting' with the reader in the way that it seems like the poet is writing directly to the reader. Making it a more 'in touch' and personal poem to subjects that we can r .....

.... law in Puritan towns and colonies was very strict. These laws reigned supreme. They accused mentally ill people of practicing witchcraft instead of using logic to tell otherwise. After being "convicted", the "witches" would not be imprisoned; they would be stripped of the only possession left- their life. An example of this is Mistress Hibbons who allowed the laws to convince her that she was a servant to "the Prince Satan" himself. Another example of these unsympathetic omnipresent laws is when a spouse is lost and can not be found. When this occurs the widow most likely wants to get on with her life, but the widow can not have any type of .....

.... were sent to China to gather and retrieve new information on Buddhism. Buddhist monks from China were even opening temples in Japan.

Members of a board decide the final step of a person’s education. “Their hair was white and their faces were cracked as the clay of a dry river bed” (26).

.... chapel." "Near the threshold he stopped, horror-stricken at the sight." "He was being looked at by a dead man who was seated with his back against a column-like tree."(46) The stark irony of a rotten corpse in a backdrop such as the isolated chapel deep in the forest works well with its explicit detail and the realization it brings to Henry about just how real the war is. This also brings about a great feeling of loneliness, which is one of the many stages that Henry goes through during the story. Henry feels isolated by his cowardly actions. Trying to justify his act of running, he compares himself to a squirrel that ran from an acorn that he had just throw .....

.... to Blake. He is the victim. Why is this woman following him? What does she want with him? He is scared for his life. It is amazing to think that she can harm him in such a way that he would regret it for the rest of his life. Not until later do we discover that he took advantage of this woman and her defenselessness. Or so he thought. It is apparent by now that she wasn't the only one that he took advantage of. The following sentence suggests that there were many others before her. "Most of the many women he had known had been picked for their lack of self-esteem." It is clear that "picked" has a double meaning in this place. To fill a secretar .....
