... woman has no choice but to follow. "He knows there is no reason to suffer and that satisfies him."(508) This quote illustrates that the men are in control. If they strongly believe nothing is wrong, then nothing must be wrong. It is a feeling of self satisfaction the men feel w!hen they are superior to the woman. The main character knows John loves her, but it is the oppression she feels that bothers her so. Her husband expresses his love for her but at the same time imposes his will on her. He hinders her from having her own thoughts. "…He is very careful and loving, and hardly lets me stir without ...

An Analysis Of The Jay Gatsby
Number of Words: 1162 / Number of Pages: 5
... wealth and his ability to try and purchase Daisy's love, this time through the use of extensive clothing.
Fitzgerald wisely shows how Gatsby uses his riches to buy Daisy. In the story, we know that "They were careless people, Tom and Daisy--they smashed up things . . . and then returned back into their money" By this, we know that Daisy's main (and maybe only) concern is money. Gatsby realizes this, and is powered by this. He is driven to extensive and sometimes illegal actions. He feels he must be rich and careless for his five year love. All these enlighten us to Gatsby's personality, therefore we ...

Review Of Machiavelli's The Prince
Number of Words: 732 / Number of Pages: 3
... we don't give them much power, reduced the strong nations and threatening powers (Milosevic, Sadam, and Yeltsin), and we invaded many islands in the Pacific as strategic military positions. The Aleutian Islands are a major acquisition for the United States. For if we didn't occupy those, Russia would have them and they could invade from the north.
However I disagree with Machiavelli on the subject of warfare. In chapter XIV, Machiavelli says, "a prince's main objective and profession must be warfare"(81). A lot of things can be settled without bloodshed and violence. In the modern world, war is a ...

Following the death of Gatsby Daisy leaves town with Tom and “hadn’t sent a message or a flower” (Fitzgerald 183). An elderly salesman lost in false hopes and illusions, Willy Loman works for strict commission and cannot bring home enough money to pay his bills. Willy foolishly pursues the wrong dream and con ...

Another biblical allusion is that of the prophet Elijah and Captain Ahab. Elijah warms Queequeg and Ishmael of Ahab. Ishmael says that he and Queequeg and boarding the Pequod because they have just “signed the articles” (Melville 68) and Elijah responds “Anything down there about your souls” (Melville 68).

Around The World In Eighty Days: Summary
Number of Words: 573 / Number of Pages: 3
... habits of Fogg that Passepartout
had to support.
My least favorite character is Fix the detective. He followed Fogg
around the globe, he missed arresting him in India and Hong Kong through
incompetence, and as soon as they arrived back in London, he did arrest
Fogg but erroneously.
The main conflict of the novel was time. Time caused a lot of
pressure on Fogg; he had to get back to London on time or he would lose the
money he wagered. Mr.Fogg and Passepartout were confronted many times with
the problem of lost time; when time was lost extra effort and work had to
be put in so as to make up for the ...

... when he
discovers that Jim has run away. He has promised not to tell but worries
that people will “call me a low-down Abolitionist and despise me for
keeping mum....” (43). During the course of their journey, the line that
Huck envisions between himself and Jim becomes increasingly fainter.
Society and its mores seem extremely distant and remote from the simple yet
ideal life Jim and Huck lead on their raft.
Just as slavery was an almost universally recognized practice in
Huckleberry Finn’s world, the supposed inferiority of women has been an
accepted idea in more recent times. Into the twentiet ...

Bartleby The Scrivener A Stran
Number of Words: 696 / Number of Pages: 3
... "as if famished for something to copy." (Melville paragraph 18) His goal, it seems, is to single-mindedly to accomplish as much copying as is humanly possible. The first few attempts on the part of the narrator to tell Bartleby to do something else, no matter how moderate the task, are met with the simple refusal, "I'd prefer not to." (Melville paragraph 21) The narrator reasonably chooses not to punish this insubordination because of both the quality, and the quantity of Bartleby's regular work.
After a series of requests from the narrator that all end in noncompliance, Bartleby shifts his focus ...
