... burn the books. She also asks him if he had ever read any of the books that he burned. His reply was that it is against the law. Clarisse even asks, "… long ago [did] firemen put fires out instead of going to start them?"(, page 38) Montag replies by telling her that that is nonsense, and that "Houses have always been fireproof,…"(, page 38) Here you can see how brainwashed and blinded the truth is for the people. Clarisse says good night to Montag, and right before she leaves she asks him, "Are you happy?"(, page39) Before Montag can reply Clarisse is gone, and she leaves Montag pond ...

Major Themes In Faulkner’s Light In August”
Number of Words: 2984 / Number of Pages: 11
... or warning, the book reels into Joe's past, catching the reader totally unaware and throwing off the entire continuity of the book. It seems that Faulkner's desire for unity is not as strong as is his desire for truth to individual response. Thus Lena is a frame, she serves only to accentuate Christmas's story, by contrast. Faulkner demands the reader follow, and realize this.
So we now see Christmas's childhood. From the beginning, Christmas is two things. One, he is a totally clean slate in that he has no idea whatsoever of his past, his origins. He is neither predestined to good nor e ...

... both right.
There were many rumors about Boo Radley, many of which, were heard
by Jem and me. He was thought to have stabbed his father in the leg with
scissors and everyone thinks that he is a freak. Boo Radley was said to
have never been seen by anyone but his family for many years ever since he
stabbed his father. Dill had the "brilliant" idea that they should try to
get Boo Radley to come out so they could see his face. Atticus said that
we should just leave him alone because he probably doesn't want to be
bothered by people on the outside, that was why he never came out.

... detect his presence.
As a gas he can pass by humans without them even noticing and as a bat he
can cover more ground in a shorter amount of time. Rice's novels mention
nothing of being able to morph into a bat, mist or anything else for that
matter.
The ability to fly is used in each novel but they are used very
differently. In Dracula the count can fly but, in order to do this he
must turn into a bat and fly as a bat would fly. More powerful vampires in
The Vampire Chronicles can fly as , for example, super man would fly. In
order for a vampire to fly it requires lots of energy and a gre ...

... our heads veiled, our voices shy and sweet" (543). Only this
time the statement is ironic. Shaila's actions show us that she is far from the
voiceless, week female she was brought up to be.
Shaila was not responsible for her own heredity. She could not control much of
her environment in which she was brought up, but she had the power and internal
strength to face the life with her individual rejoinder. She admits to being
"trapped between worlds" (543), and we can feel the internal struggle between
"traditional" and "rebellious" tendencies. It seems that Shaila does not
realize herself that ...

... any troubles that they maybe facing.
In addition another heroic quality is Atticus’ persistence. For instance, Atticus is very persistent with the children to have them do their homework and to succeed in whatever they do. This shows that he deeply cares about the children and wants them to grow up to be the best that they can be. Atticus also wants his children to prove to the world what they can accomplish. Another example is that Atticus is very persistent by having many rituals that he performs very often and never once misses a day without doing them when they need to be done. This shows tha ...

Catcher In The Rye: Childhood Innocence - What Holden Never Had
Number of Words: 713 / Number of Pages: 3
... than swearing." There
is one more outstanding quotation from the novel which is found on page two
hundred and thirteen. "I felt so damn happy all of a sudden, the way old
Phoebe was going around and around [the carousel]." All these examples
clearly show that Holden appreciated "childhood innocence" to a great
extent. Yet Holden acts the opposite.
The irony in this novel is Holden's behavior, which is far from
being innocent. He smokes, drinks, always depressed, thinks about suicide,
thinks about going embarking to a far place, and has people tell and act in
many weird ways. There are three main ...
