.... clarify their beliefs, opinions, attitudes, and feeling by talking about them with another person. Self-validation is the reason for disclosure when someone wants to seek the listener's agreement or conformation of a belief they hold about themselves. Reciprocity is the reason for disclosure in order to encourage another person to disclose also. Another concept that must be taken into consideration when talking about communication is perception. Perception can be defined as the way one views their surroundings as well as themselves and others. The relatively stable set of perceptions individuals hold about themselves is their self-concept. Now that some o .....

.... foiled for her and she is getting old (no longer a woman worth chasing by Victorian standards). And so she pulls the trigger. Gabler's "living through others" is classic: women have been taught traditionally to define themselves in terms of their (often subservient, "nurturing") relations to others, rather than in terms of individual achievement,independent of domestic connections, as men are. If we identify a "strong" woman (Hedda Tesman) whose husband is an ineffectual, bumbling and clueless scholar (Jorgen Tesman), haven't we in fact found an example of "role reversal"? And while quite willful, she proves incapable of action on her own (until her suicid .....

.... the Mississippi river. Huckleberry Finn the son of the town drunkard, is essentially good-hearted, but he is looked down upon by the rest of the village. He dislikes civilized ways because they are personally restrictive and hard. He is generally ignorant of book-learning, but he has a sharpness for understanding many issues. He is imaginative and clever, and has a sharp eye for detail, though he doesn't always understand everything he sees, or its significance. Huck is essentially a realist, he knows only what he sees and experiences. He doesn't have a great deal of faith in things he reads or hears. He must experiment to find out what is true and what isn't .....

.... to the Novel, Jane sees herself as a "rebellious slave" and "hungerstricken". She is clearly the "scapegoat of the nursery" (pg. 47). In the eyes of her wicked aunt she was a "precocious actress" and was therefor regularly locked up like a dog. According to Berg the effect of these accounts drew attention to her self-dramatization. From the very moment Jane was able to read she was constantly attracted by the disguised portraits that she make for herself in books, ballads, and dolls. The recurring theme of self-awareness I saw in Jane Eyre started from the first time Jane saw herself in the mirror which consequentially gave her a fresh awareness of he .....

.... power in deliveringh his ideas. As in the earthen dam example, the townspeople represent the city protected from the water by the dam. Once the dam breaks, all the townspeople below get wet and are shaken to their foundations. Matthew Harrison Brady, without a doubt, deserves no sympathy. One example of Brady’s overly self-confidence would be "No…I believe we should welcome Henry Drummond." (Pg. 25). Ha! What a shock he is in for. His own "high and mighty" thinking is going to lead to his downfall. Even Brady is taken a tad aback by the news that Drummond will be joining the trial "Brady: (pale) Drummond?" (Pg. 25) While he .....

.... implanting an image in our head of a summer day. A summer day triggers a scene that flashes in our head of children playing and the sun shining, basically a carefree day where everything is beautiful. He contemplates whether or not to compare his love to this ideal day, "Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?" but decides against it in his second line because he feels his love is "more lovely and more temperate" that this day. He then proceeds to bombard us with images of natural nuisances such as windy days that "…shake the darling buds of May," hot weather magnified because it is coming from heaven, and changing seasons. Sha .....

.... tied behind his back. Soldiers were posted all around him so he could not run away. At this point you know nothing about what he has done, or why he is about the be hung from the bridge, but everything was very serious. The captain stood on a plank, which supported Farquhar on the other end. First it was held in place by two soldiers though. Farquhar's eyes hadn't been covered, so he could see the water running under the bridge. He was noticing everything about the water, and how slowly it dragged pieces of driftwood downstream. Even the sound of his watch ticking was driving him insane. Soon enough he was thinking of ways to escape, which ran throug .....

.... , and himself around a lot. Then when he was three she died of tuberculoses. After his mothers death Poe was separated from his sister and brother. Poe was sent to the Allen family. Then when Poe was in his early twenties Mrs. Allen also died of tuberculoses. At the age of twenty-six Poe married his cousin Virginia. She later died of tuberculoses. His brother died of tuberculoses also. In "The Masque of Red Death," Poe uses color as a symbol. He used the colors red, blue, purple, green, orange, white, violet, and black. In the story red stand for the death that comes over everyone in the story. In Poe's life it stands for the diseases .....
