... eyes”(304). Her figure is completely covered by a “corduroy apron with four big pockets” (304). She wears a pair of “heavy leather gloves to protect her hands while she works” (304). Elisa has strong fingers(308). Her hair is “dark” and “pretty”(308).
Just as Steinbeck gives a physical description on Elisa’s appearance he also reveals her character and personality.

... that her neighbors have a high opinion of her that her own vanity will not even allow her to think of her daughters love and happiness. This is best shown with the case of Elizabeth Bennet s proposed marriage to the esteemed Mr. Collins, a man she did not love. Mrs. Bennet was so upset when her daughter refused Mr. Collins offer that she would not speak to her for passing up such an opportunity. We can see an example of pride for imaginary qualities in Mary Bennet who was herself the speaker of this passage. To the embarrassment of her family, Mary would take every chance she could to put on a show wh ...

... or positive. King Lear's decision was never foreshadowed to have a negative affect on his family or his kingdom. Who would ever think that Lear would end up standing around Goneril and Regan lying dead on the floor while holding his other daughter Cordelia dead in his hands. You can almost call it fate in a way since the most common term for uncontrollable destiny is known as that. Fate could also be seen in a negative aspect, like this episode here in which a great man loses everything he has worked for. Your destiny is not anything you can just read in a book and find out so you know how to ...

Number of Words: 691 / Number of Pages: 3
... He is not inherently evil or malicious, but relies on his own instincts and skills that he has learned to adapt to his surrounding and survive. What is vital to survival in society is not necessarily important in nature; and vice versa.
In nature only the most basic aspects of survival are required. Nature is all about survival, at any cost. Society is not. Civilization was developed out of convenience with the mental and physical skills of man. It has been from the very beginning, about making life easier. Basic ideals that are present in almost every society in the world are no murder and no ...

... on the
train, in which Kumalo had been treated with immense respect. On the train
he is aware of the respect that other blacks hold for him, because he is a
man of God, though, in the city, his social standing demonstrates little
significance. This may be taken as a sign that the idea of a God may be
questioned or less acceptable to the people, when they have positions in a
society that are cruel and not beneficial.
Kumalo does find assistance when he asks for help from an older man,
who kindly escorts him to the Mission House. The contrast that Paton
creates here is the fact that not all black ...

... scene I particularly enjoyed was the scene in which a large cask of wine had dropped and broken in the street. Because many people had very little to eat or drink, a large crowd gathered around the dirty puddle and began drinking what they could of the spilled wine. This scene was very descriptive, explaining how the people tried to scoop up the wine in their hands, and how they soaked it up with handkerchiefs from women's heads and squeezed the wine into infants' mouths. Other people licked the stones in the street or sucked on the pieces of wood from the cask. This passage showed how unfortunat ...

... going to be in it...so go change, huh? " (80) He likes to toil too though, such as when he calls Walter prometheus as they walk out the door to the theater. (86) Also another example of Asagai's return to his youth was when he had the conversation with Beneatha after her brother had lost the remaining of their father's money. His theory on the matter, saying that the money basically should not have been relied on, would probably differ than George's relative to what we know. Both men have different views of their world but both are valid influences on Beneatha. ...
