Staples' “Just Walk On By”: Prejudice And Intimidation
Number of Words: 833 / Number of Pages: 4
... white neighborhood. As a matter of fact, there were only about five black kids in my grade school. Don’t get me wrong, my Grandfather was never violent toward black people (they actually scared him) and he was never a “white supremacist,” but words were constantly said.
My teenage years changed how I viewed the world. I can wholeheartedly agree with the Staples essay when in it he describes what makes a thug. My family and I had moved into a different neighborhood by the time I started high school. This fact proved very helpful in aiding me to pick out the thugs of the world. The thugs I grew u ...

Number of Words: 1270 / Number of Pages: 5
... Biologically Hop-Frog is
nothing more than a freak of nature. Hop-Frog is a dwarf. His means of
locomotion was that of an "interjectional gait---- something between a leap and
a wiggle,"(482) and this motion was only afforded to him through "great pain
and difficulty." Hop-frog's teeth are "large, powerful, and repulsive."(484)
His arms, not in balance with his body, have a "prodigious power."(482) His
arms so over compensated for his body he "resembled a squirrel, or a small
monkey, more than a frog."(482) His ability to tolerate wine is nonexistent.
The story states that Hop-Frog is from " ...

A Hard Days Night Searching Fo
Number of Words: 2336 / Number of Pages: 9
... in each.
When one speaks of unfortunate impossibilities in this novel, it is Jake's war injury that most often comes to mind first. It is appropriate, though, that this is the case, because in Jake, we find the character most often given the chance at being the hero. Hemingway evokes immediate compassion for Jake at the suggestion of Jake's sexually incapacitating war wound. By appealing to the male reader's sense of machismo (and subsequent fear of sexual inadequacy) and the female reader's sense of sympathy, Jake's plight is given a tragic, but character enhancing, perspective. He can be immediate ...

... with his own sense of humor, but however it still leaves a very good opportunity to make a Marxist critique about the way the class structure influences the play.

"‘No sir; it's not a very interesting subject. I never think of it myself.'"
In this passage from the play it is very clear that Wilde likes to give his characters ...

... on. In addition, this story is filled with foul language. The reader understands that this is intended to show characterization but feels that this extremity could be better described with amouther choice of words. Bambara's technique for giving informatiove and interesting information falls short in her four-page story.
Hemingway's choppy Hills LIke White Elephants leaves much to be desired. It takes the reader teh entire length of the story to half-way figure out what the subject is. Hemingway's evasiveness regarding the subject confuses the reader and adds instability to the writing. Althou ...
