... other people (adults). Besides this "vulgarity" as An Lew has put it, this book in my eyes is a perfectly good reading book for young people. It is exciting, adventurous, and realistic. Most of the N- words are used by Huck and as you see of their relationship together, you know that Huck does not mean it in a bad way. Since this word was used and passed around for quite some time, Huck must have picked it up from someone and is using it sort of as a slang for African Americans. They are messing with one of the greatest and most famous writers around. I don't think this book is very prejudice at ...

... will look at Lisbeth Bede’s portrayal as the depressed woman, consider what biblical implications are made about her character and observe the effect this construction has on other characters in the novel.

of the story the reader may think that someone is going to win something.
In actuality when the reader gets to the end of the story, he finds just

When the fire burnt out, it was because many boys, like Jack, didn’t care anymore about being rescued. In the end, the fire that got them rescued was not meant for rescue. It was there because Jack was burning down the island to kill Ralph. This shows us that we get things from luck instead of ...

... setting is also another incredible technique used in The Great Gatsby. Fitzgerald’s description of Gatsby’s mansion is a perfect example of this. “The one on my right was a colossal affair by any standard- it was a factual imitation of some Hotel de Ville in Normandy, with a tower on one side, spanking new under a thin beard of raw ivy, and a marble swimming pool and more than forty acres of lawn and garden. It was Gatsby’s mansion.” Throughout the novel Fitzgerald uses this type of description to put the reader into the story and give them a realistic sense of the time ...

... twitching mouth slavering. He moaned calmly as though in remote instinctive distress and kept repeating ‘Illegal Tobacco, Illegal Tobacco” (Heller 421). This obsession with profit comes up as a major theme throughout the Bible and the book of Job is not an exception.
