... present have wondered how these three parts cohere, and many have faulted Tolstoy for including the lengthy essays, but readers continue to respond to them with undiminished enthusiasm. The work's historical portions narrate the campaign of 1805 leading to Napoleon's victory at the Battle of Austerlitz, a period of peace, and Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812. Contrary to generally accepted views, Tolstoy portrays Napoleon as an ineffective, egomaniacal buffoon who believes human beings are meager pons whose purpose is either to live or die on his behalf. As vividly displayed in chapter six when f ...

... to Frederick. He was not allowed to have this kind of knowledge. His master feared that if Frederick knew of his background, he would be deemed useless as a slave. Knowledge was a thing valued by slaves and feared by their masters. To those songs I trace my first glimmering conception of the dehumanizing character of slavery. [Ch. 2, p. 47.] Douglass is speaking here of the songs he used to hear on Colonel Lloyd’s plantation. When he was a slave he was more sensitive to this music than any other parts of slavery. They had always filled him with sadness even after he became free. He starts to ...

... the scaffold: "And never had Hester Prynne appeared more lady-like, in the antique interpretation of the term, than as she issued from the prison,"
Hester's daughter, Pearl, is "a blessing and is a reminder of her sin."
As if the scarlet A were not enough punishment there "was a brat of that hellish breed" which would remind Hester of what had happened in the past.

... the insanity
of the town, for himself and for God, and using that as a last resort to
make people aware of what was happening. This last stand for
righteousness is an example of proctor's great character and rationale.
Arthur Miller wrote his play, The Crucible, a story about the Salem
witch trials, and the panic resulting from it, as an allegory to show
people the insanity of the McCarthy hearings. He wrote it as an allegory
so that, if tried by McCarthy, he could say, "it's just a play about the
witch trials in Salem. How do you get this communist idea from it?" The
story illustrates how pe ...

... author wanted to give the reader the same feeling the narrator had: one of total mental exasperation and exhaustion. When discussing the wolf, the author uses run-ons to string together ideas in much the same way a person under intense mental or emotional stress would. Also, the repetition of the word “and” mimics a child. The failure to pause to form the sentences
correctly gives the impression of a child telling a story; not so much worried about the grammatical structure, but more focused on the matter at hand. This immature and juvenile form of writing conveys the narrators loose ...
