The Hobbit
Number of words: 1120 | Number of pages: 5.... goblins)) and this reduces its effectiveness. After the
climax there is the long return home. It is quite boring since
there is nothing to expect to and the reader knows that the
hobbit would get home safely. In my opinion it should have

characters is done by their dialogues and monologues,

about risks, out-of-pocket expenses...” (by Bilbo, page 22,
it shows that he is not ready to jump into thi .....

and about how a woman stops hating herself and becomes able to love herself

An Interpretation Of Franz Kafka’s Parable “The Trees.”
Number of words: 479 | Number of pages: 2.... individual that is reading the parable, yet it seems to be reflective of the experiences of the narrator and no one else.
These interpretations, though complicated and seemingly apparent, do not portray the atmosphere of the parable as adequately as I felt after I read it over and over again. Perhaps in the Parable’s simplicity I could be able to interpret something a little more simple and relative to the human viewpoint. Or rather than relating to human viewpoint, it might be easier to relate the parable to changes in human character. The trees could possibly represent the human character or personality. I believe that Kafka .....

Symbolism In Ethan Frome
Number of words: 463 | Number of pages: 2.... Mattie an Ethan were not killed by the sled crash, that was their purpose. The Elm tree also symbolizes strength and courage.

Race Relations With Huck Finn
Number of words: 1478 | Number of pages: 6.... We see the sub ordinance that blacks were placed in America, because blacks were not allowed to be in the house, because they were uneducated, and had to be working in the fields.
Another example of the classes we put each other into is when Huck, the main character, and Jim were heading south. Jim and Huck are sitting on the banks of the Mississippi River, and Jim says “I owns myself en I’s wuth eight hund’d dollars.” (54).

“Minds Eye At Work”
Number of words: 471 | Number of pages: 2.... the opinions of the other characters in this story. The author to be a disheartened, lonely woman, who had changed from a flourishing singer to a desolate housewife, portrayed Minnie. Clues found throughout the house pointed every finger at Minnie, but it was never stated directly in the story. The reasoning for the lack of a frank conclusion is that by the end of the story the reader has determined the outcome.
“Taking Care” by Joy Williams is certainly a story that the writer leaves the ending open for all interpretations. Throughout the story, the writer creates a setting of sadness and despair. References to his ill wife .....
