Last Of The Mohicans: Differents Between The Book And Movie
Number of Words: 1161 / Number of Pages: 5
... Hawkeye displays very little
feeling and the reader has very little empathy with him, even though he is
the hero. In the movie, however, there is a great romance between Hawkeye
and Cora that does not exist in the book. This romance adds a more human
side to Hawkeye's character; it show s his caring side beyond all the
hero-woodsman qualities--in other words, the non-Rambo, late twentieth
century version of a hero. Every hero should have a woman at his side, and
the makers of the movie, realizing this, transfer Cora from Uncas' side to
Hawkeye's. This I think was a wise choice because it gave ...

... the world. Her only concession is in her adoption of Estella.

True Sinners
Number of Words: 1920 / Number of Pages: 7
... when she says to Dimmesdale, "What we did had a consecration of its own. We felt it so! We said so to each other!" Hester fully acknowledged her guilt and displayed it with pride to the world. This was obvious by the way she displayed the scarlet letter. It was elaborately designed as if to show Hester was proud of what she had done. Hester is indeed a sinner; adultery is not a minor affair, even today. On the other hand, her sin has brought her not evil, but good. Her charity to the poor, her comfort to the broken-hearted, her unquestionable presence in times of trouble are all direct results of her ...

... on, or rather flowed on, rolling forward in his white sneakers with such unthinking unity of movement that “walk” didn’t describe it. When the novel begins, John Knowles leaves a subtle detail of Phineas’ character through his vivid descriptions of his movements. Phineas always represented an uninterrupted flow of strength and energy, like a river with nothing capable of changing its current speed. He represented tranquility in chaos, the calm before the storm. Not even rules were able to stop Finny’s consistent serenity. Even though Phineas was very fond of breaking ...
