Nature And Its Elements In Jane Eyre
Number of Words: 1598 / Number of Pages: 6
... have green leaves more - never more see birds making nests and singing idylls in your boughs; the time of love and pleasure is over with you; but you are not desolate: each of you has a comrade to sympathize with him in his decay.'"
As reflected in the passage above, nature plays an integral part as a thematic element in Jane Eyre. Charlotte Bronte consistently draws a parallel between Jane's life and nature and its elements throughout the novel. This passage seems central to the narrative because it serves as an analogy to the relationship of Mr. Rochester and Jane Eyre, the two main characters of ...

Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird
Number of Words: 343 / Number of Pages: 2
... possessed Scout’s mind.
As good as the novel is, this uneven characterization happens throughout. Scout repeatedly discovers ideas that are more suited to someone much older. She would act like a normal child, break off into a philosophical reverie, then revert to her childhood persona once again. Harper Lee is so determined to get her point across that she interjects her points at the expense of character. She manages the job so skillfully that usually the reader is not aware of what is happening at first-read. It is only after putting the book away that the reader recognizes the deception, throw ...

... worn Path).(Vande Kieft 70)
I believe the conflicts were put in the story to show us the inner feeling of Phoenix. She was able to endure hardships and stay focused on the task at hand. This tells us while she was growing up she over came many obstacles. Usually Welty reserved for her black characters the functions of this vital, sure and faithful, ways of living of which modern man has either lost or denied. Phoenix Jackson represents the condition of the human race before “enfeebling” layers of civilization anesthetized it. Although primitive, Phoenix is centered in and directed toward the value ...

merchant, carrying goods from one exotic land to another. Yet, on each of these
trips, something incredible happened to him and his crew, resulting in a dead
crew and a fantastic story for Sinbad the sailor.
Secondly, all of Sinbad's great adventures occurred sequentially. In
other words, he went immediately from one adventure to another without so much

... boys were from their human
experience was one of war. If there was no war going on in England at the time
they were evacuated from England, there would've been no deaths, no Lord of the
Flies, and certainly no beast. Because if they had came with a good human nature
then how would there have been a beast which Golding classified as the basic
evil inside all of us. Another thing that ties in with this that children try to
copy what they see adults do so if a child sees an adult smoke up or drink then
he may believe that it is okay or it is right because their parents do it. As
