.... traits. The first passage I'll use is in chapter 11. This is the chapter where Huck finds out that some people are going to see if there is anyone on Jackson Island, where Huck and Jim currently are. After Huck tells Jim that men are coming, Huck says this about Jim's reaction: "Jim never asked no questions, he never said a word; but the way he worked for the next half an hour showed about how he was scared." This confirms something obvious—that Jim values his freedom greatly. Once he has experienced a kind of freedom, he understands all the better what he has been deprived of, and isn't willing to go back to the chains .....

.... as the town giant not only put into perspective the selfishness and unrelenting need for power of the human race, but also opened his eyes to the untrusting and ungrateful nature of those little critters. Another bad point is their pride and conceit, illustrated best by the Emperor, with his title, “Golbasto Molmaren Evlame Gurdilo Shefin Mully Ully Gue,” (Swift 30) which means, “most Mighty Emperor of Lilliput, Delight and Terror of the Universe, whose Dominions extend five Thousand Blustrugs, to the Extremities of the Globe….” (30) If that isn’t a bit cocky, I don’t know what is (especially considering he’s only .....

.... out the mysterious Indians. The explorers later theorized that the Indians came from Siberia through a land bridge in the Bering Strait during the time when the water levels were not high. They also realized that it was difficult to predict the times when things happened to the Indians since they did not keep written records. Then they figured out by use of imagination that the Indians crossed over the land bridge to Alaska finding wild game. And following rivers and bodies of water, they moved south covering most of America. Another evidence was found near the site of Folsom, New Mexico, which was an arrow points or dart poin .....

.... in Franny and Zooey's case as children. They came from a relatively large family, consisting of two parents and seven siblings. The Glass children had a radio talk show called the "Wise Child" when they were younger. Such pressures put upon the children resulted in which Zooey calls "The Wise Child complexes". He believes that they never really left the air. He believes that instead of carrying a normal conversation, he expound on everything and ;therefore, is not able to keep his mouth closed. The two eldest siblings of the Glass children, Seymour and Buddy, have influenced both Franny and Zooey, who are the two younges .....

.... for her children, Edna is "fond of her children in an uneven, impulsive way" (Chopin, p. 18). They are not enough to justify her life. Adele could not understand how Edna could say that she "would never sacrifice herself for her children, or for anyone" (Chopin, p. 47). Edna's being is taking on a new importance in her life. She is starting to realize just how important it is to be true to herself. She has never done that before. She went along with the way things were supposed to be, holding her socials and tending to her house until she became aware that she needs more from her life. It is Adele that seems to be the positive .....

.... room, he obviously does not expect much of a physical appearance. However, after he enters the room, ironically, Lenora turns out to be a smashing woman. Another use of irony is present in Adrian’s description of his mother in the new year’s eve: “As she slopped wine into a plastic glass for me, I could have a chance to take a close look at her. Her lips were surrounded red, her hair was blonde and glossy. Her cleavage wrinkled and her belly protruded from the little black dress (very little) she wore. The poor woman was forty-seven, and twenty-three years older than her second husband.” (p. 3) Here, f .....

.... of belief. Bayard Sartoris was a pragmatist. He 'let his conscience be his guide'. Telling his father about Drusilla's attempt to seduce him and refusing to avenge his father's death are two good examples of this. In the beginning of the novel, Bayard is shown to be simple minded, but as time passes on and Bayard grows into a young man, his mind develops and he ultimately ends the battle between idealism and pragmatism in one carefully thought out decision. The battle between the two philosophies is very subtle in the beginning. But it grows and strengthens, and since there can only be one winner, the pragmatist is victorious .....

.... also show his holiness. Light images of the creatures that surround Simon glorify his body, and as light falls on his corpse he is transfigured into an icon of expiation. Also, the water covers Simon in a “coat of pearls” and “creatures” (interpreted to symbolize angels) begin to spread a layer of silver over him. The apotheosis of Simon is complete, as he becomes completely silver. As Simon’s body is carried out to sea, the angels create a halo (phosphorescence) around his head and attend to his wounds. Simon indeed was the purest and most innocent boy on the island; his character a true symbol of religiousness. A .....
