... written about her struggle with death and her desire to have a relationship with a man whose vocation was ministerial, Reverend Charles Wadsworth. She considers suicide as an option for relieving the pain she endures, but decides against it.

My Mistress Eyes Are Nothing L
Number of Words: 465 / Number of Pages: 2
... silky and smooth. The speaker goes to the extreme of saying her breath "reeks." When you hear the word "reeks" you imagine an awful smell and using this to describe her breath creates an image of not wanting to come face to face with her. But as you continue to read, the speaker says that she is a real person and is obtainable, unlike a mystical form such as an angel or goddess. "I grant I never saw a goddess go, / My mistress when she walks treads on the ground" (11-12). The speaker says that he has never seen a goddess, and that his mistress is a real person who walks on the ground instead of ...

Shockwave Rider
Number of Words: 1486 / Number of Pages: 6
... everything is known about everyone. there are
no secrets from the system. Brunner illustrates this as a
reality that is not necessarily very desirable. He plants
a character, Nickie Haflinger, onto the scene. As with
many books we can look at this character and see the
author within. Haflinger is a prodigy whose talents allow
him to switch identities with a simple phone call. By the
advanced technology and the ingenuity that is completely
Haflinger’s, we see that the author is not one to be
content with the realities that may be a possibility in
the future of technology.

... their voices in the essay. She also includes what she remembers exactly from her parents. "If it wasn't for you two, my mother told us, I could be off somewhere else" (653).

Steedman uses voices in her essay so that the reader can get a background and see perceptions or feelings. "She was a good weaver; six looms under her by the time she was sixteen"(647). This paragraph of a story was told about her great-grandmother and as an eleven-year-old and how she w ...

... never saw a more promising inclination. He was growing quite inattentive to other people, and wholly engrossed by her… Is not general incivility the very essence of love?" (106). Mrs. Bennett approves of the match mostly on a monetary basis, and exclaims, "Why, he has four or five thousand a year, and very likely more. Oh my dear Jane, I am so happy!" (260). Elizabeth, however, looks down on her mother for this, and approves of the marriage because she can tell that the two are truly in love with one another. Austen also makes those in love the happiest of all the characters. ...

Catch 22

... had to. Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle. "That's some catch, that Catch-22," he observed. "It's the best there is," Doc Daneeka agreed. One of the most important qualities of Catch-22 is its experimentation with the experience of time; by presenting a linear narrative in a mixed-up order, the novel both deprioritizes development toward an end as a feature of its plot and conveys the impression that, as Yossarian is afraid to confront a life that ends in death, the novel itself is skittish about the idea of the pas ...

Hamlet And Comic Relief
Number of Words: 3515 / Number of Pages: 13
... viewer. The pun is the most frequent of Shakespeare’s comic uses.
Act one introduces the reader to Hamlet, who seems to be showing signs of strong angst towards his elders, but uses biting remarks to defend himself. Hamlet believes that humor (albeit sarcastic humor) suggests a nimble and flexible mind, as well as an imagination. Wittenberg is a pinnacle of wits, which is where, of course, Hamlet wants to return to (Watts 94). “A little more than kin, and less than kind” (1.2.65). Hamlet’s first words in the play show him playing with words in order to state a paradox: Claud ...

... in Europe, and a man with a guitar steps in front of the microphone to sing Ickey-Ickey-Oo” “
In “The Fifty-First Dragon” the Headmaster, much like Wilson, came up with the idea that if you give the uneducated a slogan and some basic training the natural end product is a powerful killing machine. The protection that the magical word Rumplesnitz gave Gawaine very much paralleled the strong, forceful, and unbeatable war cult Wilson had created. Instead of a single word being magical, Wilson became a modern-day Hephaestus while using slogans like “Rivets and Bayonets, Drive them home” to magically forge ...

Number of Words: 663 / Number of Pages: 3
... a sense of security for the people, and that’s the way the people want it to stay.
Since this story takes place in the 1930s there is also a prejudice towards women. Men believed that women were the weaker sex, and not equal to a man. A prime example of this is when the men believed they should protect their women from Tom Robinson because he allegedly raped a white woman. This is another reason the jury could have used to charge Tom Robinson as guilty. Not only could they do it for upholding their white supremacy; they could also say they were just protecting their women from a predato ...

Journeys Of Odysseus And Aeneas
Number of Words: 1046 / Number of Pages: 4
... fate handed him? There is a side to Aeneas, I noticed that is not very impressive, even when I could almost understand why he feels the way he does. He is sad, tired, always waiting for his father or the gods to tell him what to do. But Aeneas always fulfills his duty to his family, to his country, and to the gods, even when he is depressed. He is never selfish. He always puts his responsibility to others first. In that way, his actions throughout his journey to the underworld were somewhat different that Odysseus’.
In Aeneas’ case, he too was as great of a survivor as Odysseus. In fact, he at ...
