.... off into the city to face the hardships that came with the package. Esther, an award-winning student was sent to New York on a scholarship. Both of these characters ended up in places that they did not fit in. When Esther was in New York, she tried to be someone she wasn’t. This caused her to not enjoy her stay; she merely put on a facade. Holden on the other hand couldn’t stand people trying to be what they weren’t. He called these people “phonies”. At the slightest reason, he would tell himself that the person was a fake. As the time lengthened, both of these young adults fell into a deeper hole of depression. Neither in w .....

.... battle of his soul. After the prophecies of the witches’ revealed the fate of Macbeth, the plan in which to gain power of the throne is brought up. The only way to gain power of the throne was for Macbeth to work his way to the throne, or to murder King Duncan. Murdering the king was an easier plan since the motivation in his dreams urged him on. Lady Macbeth also relied on the supernatural by her soliloquy of calling upon the evil spirits to give her the power to plot the murder of Duncan without feeling guilty. The three sisters are capable of leading people into danger resulting in death, such as the sailor who never slept. Lady Macbeth has conv .....

.... The badger teaches him certain characteristics about humans which help him to rule his kingdom. For example, he states, “True warfare is what happens between bands of the same species” (194). The animals in Wart’s other transformations teach him only about their societies. The most important information that the badger gives to Wart is that humans are one of the only species in the world who fight among themselves. The badger supports this statement when he says, “There are more than four thousand different sorts of them, and from all those kinds I can only think of five which are belligerent. There are the five ants, one termite .....

.... Juliet: O, speak again bright angel, for thou art As glorious to this night, being o'er my head As is a winged messenger of heaven.(Rom. II. II, 28-30.) This passage is used to compare Juliet to an angel, somethign that is universally held as sacred and lovely. Elsewhere in the scene there are lines that describe their love for one another, and add to the romantic theme of the scene: And but thou love me, let them find me here.

.... evil, or the "bad guy," as she was by the townspeople. That is, she was convicted of adultery, a horrible sin of the time, but maybe not even seen as criminal today. As for punishment, a sentence to wear a scarlet "A" upon her chest, it would hardly be considered a burden or extreme sentence in present day. Or Hester can be seen as rebelling against a society where she was forced into a loveless marriage and hence she would be the "good guy," or girl, as the case may be. Also the townspeople, the magistrates, and Chillingworth, Hester's true husband, can be seen in both lights. Either they can be perceived as just upholdin .....

.... seem able to chose between "the old fierce of blood" ( the fidelity to his father) and his thrust towards justice and truth. We will see that "Barn Burning" is actually the story of an initiation that will lead to the boy's final refusal to help and support his father. By denouncing this one, Sarty will claim his own individuality and will gain his independence and freedom. The opposition of sharecropper (Mr Snopes) and aristocrat (Mr de Spain) suggests social implications. Several elements refer to this possibility. The father points out that de Spain's house is built with "nigger sweat" as well as the white sweat of the sharecropper. He seems to view himse .....

.... of his mockery by making the reader realize how clueless the Aristocracy can be to the way things are in the real World. Chaucer describes Chaunticleer in many different ways. One of them is his language. Chaunticleer's language is that of a scholar. He quotes many different scriptures in a conversation with Pertelote, such as, Saint Kenelm, Daniel and Joseph (from the bible), and Croesus. From each author he tells a story about an individual who had a vision in a dream and the dream came true. He may have been making all the stories up in order to win the argument with Pertelote, but, this seems unlikely because .....
