Number of Words: 1139 / Number of Pages: 5
... would usually take care of that. In every sense of the word, she was your typical housewife. She never left the house, mostly because her husband was afraid of the way people "would talk." I do not know if but a few people knew about their marriage, and that was they way Torvald wanted it to be. It really wasn't her fault she was the way she was. It was mostly Torvald's for spoiling her.
Ibsen uses creative, but effective, animal imagery to develop Nora's character throughout the play. He has Torvald call his wife "his little lark" or "sulky squirrel" or other animal names throughout the play. He use ...

A Woman On A Roof

... fantasy of the woman on the roof.
When Stanley flirted with Mrs. Pritchett, Tom felt that his "romance with the woman on the roof was safe and intact" (706). What romance? Tom has based his opinion on fantasy rather than reality. Fantasizing "himself at work on the crane, adjusting the arm to swing over and pick her up and swing her back across the sky to drop her near him" (704) illustrates that Tom is out of touch with reality. Tom "felt as if he hadn¹t whistled, as if only Harry and Stanley had" (706) and "was full of secret delight, because he knew her anger was for the others, not him" (70 ...

... grasps. They are hesitant to stand up
to the men and instead they tend to hide away. Backman notes that, "The will to
confront reality seems to be losing out to the need to escape"(p.184).
Miss Emily is a woman who had the whole town wondering what she was
doing, but did not allow anyone the pleasure of finding out. Once the men that
she cared about in life deserted her, either by death or by simply leaving her,
she hid out and did not allow anyone to get close to her. Miss Emily was indeed
afraid to confront the reality that Backman discusses. Since she did not want to
accept the fact that ...

... depth and substantial emotion. Much of Daisy’s personality is never really revealed in the book and the use of white helps to shroud her in more mystery, as its purity does not disclose any further information about her. However, white is inaccurate when trying to portray Daisy as pure, as she did cheat on Tom. “His heart beat faster and faster as Daisy’s white face came up to his own. He knew that when he kissed this girl, and forever wed his unutterable visions to her perishable breath, his mind would never romp again like the mind of God.”(117). In this case her “white face” is almost like a ...

Gun Control Violence In Schools Critique
Number of Words: 734 / Number of Pages: 3
... The real facts are that homicides have decreased in young people in the past two years. In a 1997 report by the Centers of Disease Control it says that American Children under the age of fifteen are twelve times more likely to be killed by gunfire than twenty-five other industrialized nations. Basically my question is who really cares about twenty-five other nations? The facts that are presented should be base on kids and adults not on us and some other nation. The point is that in the past few months or even years the multiple homicides at schools by teens are because they obtained firearms by eas ...
