... illusion. The
symbolism throughout the story is clearly indicative of this fact (Barron’s

... as well as Grendel’s mother. The slave character was not named too, which in my mind would indicate that women had little more status than slaves or property during the times of the Vikings. Fittingly enough, Beowulf’s sword even got a name, for it is by his sword that he earns his eternal fame and glory. However, besides the fact that Beowulf was of noble lineage and that he was a great warrior, he has some other noble qualities.
On the plus side for Beowulf we can say that he was a pious warrior. Although he was from being a modest warrior, for he was anything but modest when it cam ...

... 1).
Like the Dewey Decimal System Maycomb also had its classification system. In the book, Jem confused the Dewey Decimal System with John Dewey’s philosophy of education. This is clear when Scout says, “What Jem called the Dewey Decimal System was school wide by the end of my first year, so I had no chance to compare it to any other teaching technique, I could only look around me” (Lee 37). Dewey’s educational philosophy was the new way students were to be taught in the Maycomb schools. It stressed the hands on experiential method of teaching. Jem easily confused John Dewey’s new way of teachi ...

Fahrenheit 451: A World With No Books

... One example is how he mentioned the fire hose. He called it
"the great python spitting its venomous kerosene upon the world." (Bradbury
