... beneath the depths of the ocean.
One of the most suspenseful and mysterious parts of the book was when the characters were thrown into a big room inside the submarine that seemed to have no doors. At this point in the book the characters have no idea what was going on, neither does the reader. The only thing that happens during the time in this room is a man comes in and gives them some food, minutes later they all fell asleep. Why where they put to sleep, where is this room that seems to have no doors? This is just one of the hundreds of questions going through your head during thes ...

Number of Words: 915 / Number of Pages: 4
... house "there [are] beautiful curtains on the windows, white with pictures painted of castles."(101) The curtains painted with castles give the family a false feeling of being elite. When you think of castles you think of queens and kings and aristocracy. Ironically they think of others who lack the few finer things like curtains with castles on them to be lower class then themselves. These minor details make them think they are above everyone else. Along with this false notion of aristocracy the Grangerfords also possess a false knowledge of academics. When Huck asks one of the Grangerford sons to s ...

... to everyone, even the chronics. He
taught the acutes how to play cards and he taught them to gamble. His very
first bet though was that he could get the best of nurse Ratched within the week,
and he did. She wasn't going to back down though. To try and stop all the
gambling going on she rationed the cigarettes, so they no longer had anything to
bet, but that never stopped them, they used money instead.
The patients admired McMurphy because no one had ever stood up to her
before, and he would do things for them such as arranging basketball games. He
was also the one who enabled the patients to u ...

Number of Words: 1150 / Number of Pages: 5
... This I have promised thee. Stand up. Thou art me now. Thou art all
there will be of me. Stand up." (Pg.462) By saying this Jordan reveals how man
is never an individual but instead is made up of all the influences, experiences,
and memories that we have shared with others.
Furthermore This change came upon Jordan as a consequence of joining the
war. Before the war had started he had no idea what it meant to be an
individual, or to truly fall in love. Jordan says to Maria "I have never loved
someone as thee. Before our cause I never new what it was like to truly live.
Or to love, as I ...

The Blue Hotel

... thinking and cause them to be really weird. This is shown when Scully shows the Swede pictures of his dead family (269). What person in their “right” mind would show someone who thinks they are going to be killed a picture of someone who was killed? These examples show how the settings are more important then the characters themselves. The characters are very odd in this story. It’s very hard to think of how such a group could have been formed. The differences among the men are large. The cowboy is the rugged and sinister type, while the easterner is very open and joyful. Johnnie is not like hi ...

Romeo And Juliet- A Thin Line
Number of Words: 720 / Number of Pages: 3
... of malice to which a person subdues because of love. The most memorable of these portrayals is the first scene of Act Three. Love inspires rage in this fight scene in which Mercutio loses his life. Such a scene is an important rendering of how there is a thin line between love and hate; the men have a love for each other to inspire defense, and a hate fueled by the murder of their mate. This demonstrates how much of an impact love has in Shakespeare's story, not only for the lovers, but also for a friend.
A friend who has been with a person through thick and thin is not a common commodity. However ...

... it (Johnson 9).”
Johnson’s idea is somewhat universal; the majority of men can find a moment where the innocent veil of boyhood was pierced, or an event in that the ease of being gives way to struggle and conflict. In this sense, “all men are Fisher Kings. Every boy has naively blundered into something that was too big for him, gotten halfway through, realized that he couldn’t handle it, and collapsed. Then he is wounded, he is hurt terribly, and he goes off to lick his wounds. A certain bitterness arises because he tries so hard to and actually touches his salmon – individuation – yet he cannot ...

Pride And Prejudice: Marriage For Money
Number of Words: 675 / Number of Pages: 3
... is a universally
acknowledged fact that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be
in want of a wife”, sets the tone for the rest of the novel. We interpret
it to mean that a wealthy man either actively pursues a wife based on his
knowledge that no one would turn down a wealthy suitor, or attractive
women use their beauty to their advantage to attract a rich husband.
Confident in his knowledge of his own wealth and magnificence, Darcy's
less than romantic first proposal to Elizabeth is a good example of the
first of these truths. Darcy marches into the room, and after stating all
the reas ...
