.... skin. Earlier in the book, Huck touches a rattlesnake skin, and Jim stops him from handling it before he gets bad luck: "And he said that handling a snake-skin was such awful bad luck that maybe we hadn't got to the end of it yet, He said he druther see the new moon over his left shoulder as much as a thousand times than take up a snake skin in his left hand." (53) Chapter XXV, All Full of Tears and Flapdoodle spotlights the use of satire in grief. Here, the Duke and the King pretend to be William and Harvey Wilks, the deceased Peter Wilks's brothers, so they could inherit Peter's fortune. At Peter's funeral, The so-called William .....

.... Mrs Bart died, she died, “ ......of a deep disgust. She had hated dinginess, and it was her fate to be dingy”(page 35). But Lily’s mother alone is not solely to blame for this want, Lily says of her need for luxury, ..I suppose (it was) -in the way I was brought up, and the things I was taught to care for. Or-no I won’t blame anybody for my faults: I’ll say it was in my blood (page 226) Although Lily felt that she should not blame anyone else for her high tastes she does not blame herself. She uses the excuse that it was in her blood that her fate to live for splendour was predetermined. Lily the .....

.... long voyage, Darwin would not turn around and go back to England. Another and maybe the most important trait was the ability to work hard. If Darwin found something that interested him, he would be willing to spend years working on it and improving it. An event that shows this occurred between 1846 and 1854. Charles knew that his fellow scientists would not agree with his theory unless he mastered the details of a zoological group. He decided to devote eight, painstaking years to the study of barnacles. Also, later in his life, to prove and explain his theory in great detail and criticize before critics could, Darwin spent mo .....

.... this, Hamlet lets Gertrude know that he is what she sees, torn over his father’s death. Later, he makes a clear statement about his state of mind when he commits himself to revenge. "I’ll wipe away all trivial fond records, all saws of books, all forms, all pressures past, that youth and observation copied there, and thy commandment all alone shall live within the book and volume of my brain" (1.5.100-104). In that statement, Hamlet is declaring that he will be committed to nothing else but the revenge of his fathers death. There is no confusion about Hamlet’s character in Act One. He has said earlier that .....

.... of Tayo. There are two women in the book who put their perspective into the story, one of them is the elderly mistress of Josiah and the other one is Helen Jean who went on one of the many joyrides that Harley and the others went on. These women are actually just a way for the author to explain how the rest of society viewed Tayo. An example of this is when Helen Jean describes Tayo "Too quiet, and not very friendly(161)". Another thing this allows the author to do is to show how the War affected the young women from the reservations. She is able to show you how Helen Jeans life was in just a few pages. Silko was able to show how .....

.... Another example is when Carlson shoots Candy's dog. Candy becomes very eager to attach himself to George and lennie and purchase a house with them as a result of the loss of his only real love in his life. The responsibilities of aspiration and hope play a major role in the structure of George, Lennie and Curley's wife's character. To an extent their aspirations protect them from reality for short stints and acts like a recharge to their motivational batteries. This is a good thing more often than not. Examples of these instances are when Lennie and George are sitting on the bank of a pool of the Salinas river in the last chapte .....

When Holden hears the news that he has been expelled from Pency, he concludes that his parents would not know of this for a few days. Therefore, he wo .....

.... has the immediacy of a news bulletin: these are facts, Hemingway is telling us, and they can't be ignored. And just as Frederic Henry comes to distrust abstractions like "patriotism," so does Hemingway distrust them. Instead he seeks the concrete, the tangible: "hot red wine with spices, cold air that numbs your nose." A simple "good" becomes higher praise than another writer's string of decorative adjectives. Though Hemingway is best known for the tough simplicity of style seen in the first passage cited above, if we take a close look at , we will often find another Hemingway at work--a writer who is aiming for certain complex .....

.... When Pearl, Hester, and Arthur are alone together and it is time to leave, Pearl asks him, "Will you stand up on the scaffold with us tomorrow?" (134), Later, she asks, "Will you go hand and hand with us out of the forest?" (185) And he replies that only on judgement day they will go hand in hand together. He is so afraid that if anyone finds out about his sin, he will be destroyed because he is a "holy" man. If anyone found out, then they would look down on him and he would be shunned like Hester. When the three of them were on the scaffold together and he told God of his sin, he felt better the next day because he got .....
