.... in more ways than just being the narrator. He obviously had received a wound from W.W.I that caused him to be sexually scarred and thus set him apart from anyone else. Jake seemed to be an observer who was watching the lives of his friends unfold and happen around him, but without his participation. I read that Hemingway had purposely re-written the book in first person and this was probably to spell out that Jake was an observer and was thus aware of what was written on the pages. There is a scene towards the end of the book where Jake finds all of his friends eating at a restaurant and thinks to himself that he is too far behind to catch up. Jake always seem .....

.... out of their hard life. Their lives were changed because of the pearl, and in the end they found that the happiness they had before, was an even greater wealth than what they wished to have. Opening Chapter: The Pearl, from the beginning of the novel, is very fast paced. The scenes in the story, though short and simple, contain many facts and details that are important to the story. Due to the fact that there are not that many characters that have to be introduced in the first chapter as in other long novels which take a whole chapter to introduce characters, the introductions only take about three to four pages. Also, in the first chapter, the background i .....

.... with the hardship of losing his wife and daughter, Charlie was still able to put his life back together. The mistakes he made in the past were not all his fault; there was a problem in the stock market that put a heavy burden on his shoulders. He has done more than enough to show Marion that he has changed and is capable of taking care of Honoria. However, the story may also be a bit biased considering that the narrator may not be a reliable person. There are also certain situations in the story, which questions Charlie’s sincerity about how much he has changed. I think that Charlie’s love for Honoria is the biggest reason for him to regain her cu .....

.... that she was wrong. Because of this situation Dr. Aziz takes on three distinct attitude changes. At the beginning of the novel he resents the English, later develops an admiration for them and finally he again develops ill feelings and hatred toward the English. In the genesis of the novel Dr. Aziz truly resents the British Raja in India. He feels that they can be conniving, malicious and deceptive.

.... by the more Materialistic ideals of America's society The frustrations that Walter has to deal with affects the family a great deal. For example, if Walter gets upset at work or has a bad day, he can't get angry with his boss and risk loosing his job; instead he takes it out on his wife Ruth. Also, the job that he holds can only provide so much to the family. He's not even capable of providing his son Travis with some pocket change without becoming broke himself.

.... he doesn't want to do that because he has already "pardoned the deceiver" who took his position many years ago. Prospero then says something a little strange, but it makes sense in the context of the story, he ask us to "release [him] from [his] bands with the help of your good hands." In other words, clap so that the sails of the boats his friends are riding in will be safely returned and Prospero can be "relieved by prayer" of the audience. All of what Prospero has said is very nice cute, but the most interesting part of this monologue is what Shakespeare himself is saying. "Now that my charms are all o'erthrown, and what strength I have's mine ow .....

.... written by Aristotle, perfectly describes Huxley’s attitude towards the creation of his imaginary utopia. His only problem was establishing a value system that would not seem too unattainable. Huxley has two novels that have the theme of utopia, and Island. , which was written before Island , has ideas that are quite far-fetched, but in Huxley’s eyes, still close to reality. Huxley’s first portrait of utopia involves having a controlled society of people all being alike. The year is A.F. 632 (After Ford; Ford is the equivalent to God in ) and with the available technology, citizens are mass produced. Island is a product of the rethinking of Huxley’s ut .....

Why did choose, and it was a choice, not to take revenge on Claudius quickly and decisively? had his own reasons for inaction; the strategy that he felt best suited his revenge. was undoubtedly an incredible intellectual, and throughout the play it seemed as though the thoughts of his mind came too quickly for the actions of his body to keep up with. This intellectual quality provided a roadblock for ’s taking a quick revenge on Claudius. Nearly all of ’s act .....
