... to the beach with Robert, she should in the first place have declined, and in the second place have followed in obedience to one of the two contradictory impulses which impelled her." “Yes,” she said. “The years that are gone seem like dreams- if one might go on sleeping and dreaming- but to wake up and find- oh! well! perhaps it is better to wake up after all, even if to suffer, rather than to remain a dupe to illusions all one’s life.” She seemed to welcome her and, at first, enjoyed it.

Guilt And How It Is Handled
Number of Words: 614 / Number of Pages: 3
... guilt can also illustrate how people deal
with difficulty.
Guilt does not only appear in literature, but also in daily life.
A famous case is the O.J. Simpson murder trial. Whether he committed the
crime or not, O.J. has shown no signs of guilt. This can be interpreted as
meaning that he either did not commit the crime, or he did so but is hiding
the guilt. If the second situation is true, then he has emotional scars
that do not show exactly like Dimmesdale. A more common example takes
place in schools. Sometimes a student will cheat on a test, but not be
able to feel a sense of accomplishment ...

of an American bank robber who killed several police officers in Texas; the
other was that of the priest. No one noticed the irony, including the young
lieutenant, who was more interested in arresting the priest. When the officer
received permission to look for Father Mont ...

Reflections On The Things They
Number of Words: 858 / Number of Pages: 4
... the story is the fact that the story is written in third person. The narrator is not actually in the story, merely telling us of the events, and yet we still get to see inside Lt. Cross’s mind to more accurately picture his feelings. The narrator also, although letting us see the innermost, personal thoughts of Cross, always refers to the Lieutenant as either "he,", "him," or "Lt. Cross," never speaking of him by only his first name, which may seem rather formal. Also, it is odd that O’Brien the aurthor should choose the third person to write in when creating a story such as this one. ...

Symbolism In Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird
Number of Words: 1727 / Number of Pages: 7
... symbolic. There was not enough snow to make a
snowman entirely out of snow, so Jem made a foundation out of dirt, and
then covered it with what snow they had. One could interpret this in two
different ways. First of all, the creation of the snowman by Jem can be
seen as being symbolic of Jem trying to cover up the black man and showing
that he is the same as the white man, that all human beings are virtually
the same. Approval of these views is shown by Atticus when he tells Jem, "I
didn't know how you were going to do it, but from now on I'll never worry
about what'll become of you, son, you'll alw ...

... care of her and that wouldn't go
over to well with me since I know I could have stopped her from getting sick. I
think I yelled at her and said that isn't she supposed to know that she isn't
allowed even near those trees. We all know about that weird guy Boo Radley and
we know that property is off limits. I told her that she would probably get
killed if she were caught. She said in defense that I touched the house once.
This was a clear reference to Boo Radley's house but I ignored her comment and
told her that it was different. I also ordered her to go and use some mouth
wash to get rid of the ...
