Examine The Character And The
Number of Words: 1668 / Number of Pages: 7
... She has a bawdy sense of humor, which brings out the naturalness of sex and childbearing. This is seen when she tells Juliet to look for love, - “Go girl, seek happy nights to happy days”. This displays a realistic attitude to love. Such bawdy realism is, like the ribaldry of Mercutio and company, a contrast with the tender, romantic and passionate feelings of Romeo and Juliet. The Nurse is a practical but rather stupid woman at times. She loves Juliet like her own child. Throughout the play The Nurse is very talkative. She will usually do what she believes is right or what Juliet wants, ...

Number of Words: 756 / Number of Pages: 3
... to put the group before himself. This unselfish concern soon
dissolves as the internal beast prevails over the civil Jack. “I ought to
be chief because I'm chapter chorister and I can sing C sharp,” (Golding,
21) displays Jacks own arrogance. After the boys accept Ralph as chief,
Ralph gives power over the choir boys to Jack. “The choir belongs to you,
of course,” (Golding, 21) Ralph's unselfish act of giving Jack rule over
the choir boys is a way of keeping peace between the two groups and between
Jack.
Ralph and Jack go exploring and return with the conclusion that the

... would have to defend
themselves against the civilians of Japan as well. It was also a
fact that the Japanese government had been equipping the
commoners with any kind of weapon they could get their hands on.
It is true that this could mean a Japanese citizen could have
anything from a gun to a spear, but many unsuspecting soldiers
might have fallen victim to a surprise spear attack! The number of
deaths that would have occurred would have been much greater,
and an invasion would have taken a much longer period of time. The
Japanese would have continued to fight the US with all of what

An Analysis Of Jane Smiley's A Thousand Acres
Number of Words: 747 / Number of Pages: 3
... contingent upon
her doing so without fighting (104). Ultimately, her opinion as a woman
remains irrelevant. Ginny remarks, "of course it was silly to talk about
'my po int of view.' When my father asserted his point of view, mine
vanished" (176). When she makes the "mistake" of crossing her father, she
is referred to as a "bitch," "whore," and "slut" (181, 185).
It could be argued that many of the male characters in the novel
are suffering from a type of virgin/whore syndrome. As long as the women
remain docile receptacles they are "good"; when they resist or even
question masculine author ...

Number of Words: 908 / Number of Pages: 4
... other. They use Maisie as a “vessel for
bitterness” (13). To Beale and Ida, Maisie was just a tool that they used
to hurt the other person. Eventually, Maisie figured out that they were
using her to be the bearer of brutily hateful messages. Consequently, she
learned not to deliver such messages. This made her parents very angry and
they decided that she had “grown incredably dull”. Thus, Maisie realized “
They had wanted her not for any good they could do her, but for harm they
could, with her unconscious aid, do each other.” Unfortunately, Maisie's
emotions were of no concern to either parent. ...

... attend to his every need. Despite the attractiveness of the offer at hand, Faust is pledging his soul to eternal damnation. Because he will have access to infinite knowledge and power, Faust feels the bargain is worthy. He does not see hell as a torment despite the difference of opinion Mephistophilis offers.

Sense And Sensibility

... feelings to try to break them up. That is what I would have done. Elinor would definitely represent sense. She keeps things to herself. I think because she thinks if she does she will not end up getting hurt to bad, like Marianne ends up doing.
Marianne on the other hand is Sensibility. She follows her heart. She does not let anything come in her way of showing her emotions. When she first meet Colonel Brandon, you could tell the Colonel was in love at first sight. Marianne showed very easily that she was not interested. However, when Marianne meets Willoughby it was like a hero rescuing his princess ...

... to refrain from savagely feasting on some of the easily
accessible seamen. Towards the end of the novel, Marlow becomes becomes
very close to losing his sanity, but also has the necessary restraint to
maintain it. He confuses the beat of a drum (the call to man's primative
side) with his own heartbeat, but is still able to restrain from slipping
over the edge as Kurt did. Ralph in Lord of the Flies is constantly faced
with temptation to join Jack and all of the other boys, especially when
Piggy dies and he is all alone. This makes it even more difficult to
restrain from giving in t ...

... traits. Johnny Tremain's personality was very
fascinating, and it was most intriguing to read about how he
changed from a bossy, impatient boy, into a thoughtful,
patient gentleman. Even though he was a skilled worker, he
was proud, and full of arrogance. But after his terrible
tragedy, his rude character died in the birth and death room,
and Johnny was reborn as a more patient and caring person.
He still won't take pity from anyone, but on the inside he is
probably crying out for help. Although he has no one to talk
to, he does have special talents that help keep him going
strong. Before Johnny burned ...
