.... Iris is described as corpulent, with a head full of red hair, yet in the movie she is a skinny, relatively attractive, blond. Thus, Roy's relationship with Iris in the book and in the movie is quite different. In the book Roy is not very attracted to her and in addition she is a grandmother which does not appeal to Roy at all. This also comments on Roy's personality in the book because he ends up sleeping with her anyway, even though he has no real feelings for her. The following quote illustrates Roy's actual feelings for Iris; " 'Darling,' whispered Iris, 'win for our boy.' He stared at her. 'What boy?' 'I am pregnant.' There were tears in her eyes. .....

.... and change paragraphs with ever new aspect discussed. Comparisons are enriching. If you have read more than one book by the same author. compare/contrast them, look for common ground. Or compare with a movie/play/novel with similar background/plot etc. Select for discussion only those features of a book that were sufficiently outstanding to be worthy of comment. Do not summarize the entire book and never actually reveal the ending. You may discuss the kind of ending or resolution, eg. Was it startling, unexpected, disappointing etc? In your introductory paragraph include enough information about the type of book it is, the title, author, setting, .....

.... now felling a new sense of loyalty to her friend, as she remembers the way she was twenty years and as little as one year ago. This new loyalty shows her deep ties to the community and her sex. This loyalty to women follows her throughout the story and shows her ability to look past a situation and tell what is really happening in the lives of others. The men in this story obviously think the women inferior and that allows Mrs. Hale to show not contempt for men, but rather their naiveté toward the true nature and feelings of women. She does this to protect them from things that really do not want to find out about because if they did they would be fo .....

.... himself. He states ‘Mostly I’m so bored I could eat myself’. He is so bored that he steals a snowman in order to make a friend. He finds out that his ‘friend’ has many characteristics in common to him. His friend had ‘ a mind as cold as the slice of ice within my own brain’. The poet has a conversational tone such as asking questions. We are hearing only part of the conversation. The poem is set on a cold chilly night. The poet is more cynical and formal when she is talking about the snowman. The phrase ‘an idle mind is a devil’s workshop’ is very applicable here since the thief has nothing to do, .....

.... develop and convey his themes. The story follows the lives of the Pickle family and the Lamb family and how they have come to grow, develop, love and change over a period of twenty years, while living with each other. Unfortunately, both moves coincided with different family disaster’s. For the Lamb’s, the unfortunate event takes place in the form of the near drowning of Samson, or as he is better known as Fish. While for the Pickles, it occurs with the loss of Sam’s (the father’s) fingers in a fishing accident. The reader can relate these events it to the biblical story of ‘Samson,’ and how he gained his strength through his hair. Meaning that by losing so .....

.... there was bad weather on the way, but the weather forecast predicted it would only arrive that Sunday night. They planned to climb up to the top on Saturday, spend the night there and abseil back down, before the storm started on Sunday night. Obviously nature was not on their side this time, as they found themselves hurtling down the foot of mountain with almost no light, on the Sunday night. Fortunately they spotted a farmhouse's lights in the distance and knew they could get a place to sleep for the night, but had to hurry before the storm closed in on them. The blood trickled through Louis's fingers as he held his knees and screamed in pain. To see how badl .....

.... inadvertently desecrates it. He sets up a fictitious society in which Christianity is disregarded and disdained, but nominal Christianity remains. The author writes to defend this nominal Christianity from abolition. The arguments that the author uses, which are common knowledge in his time, if applied to Christianity in Swift's time would be quite dangerous allegations. Indeed, the reasons that Swift gives for the preservation of the fictitious Christianity are exactly what he sees wrong with the Christianity practiced in his time. By applying Swift's satirical argument for the preservation of this fictitious religion to that which was currently practiced, S .....

.... blindness, and the themes of the plays. These are the three main similarities faced in both plays. In the play A View from the Bridge, Eddie the main character, dealt with being metaphorical blind throughout the play. To be metaphorically blinded is someone who is blinded by something or someone around them that are happening. The person who Eddie was being blinded by was Catherine his niece. The fact that he was blinded by his love for her. This love that he had never existed on the outside, but only deep down did he realize it existed. Eddy's wife Beatrice, a kind and loving wife saw what was happening because she was on the outside. Being unaware of w .....
