.... a point for me in In Our Time, but He doesn't often enough credit quotations with, ",he said," or, ",said Brett," or, ",Bill replied." In SAR it stood and called attention to itself. I wasn't particularly bothered by His not telling me who said what, but it was very...pointed. I first noticed around the hundredth page or so. Then I realized I couldn't keep track of who was speaking. By not dwelling on it, though, sort of (hate to say this) accepting it, I managed to assign speech to whomever I felt was speaking. Gradually I came to enjoy it, in another plane of reading, figuring out from whom words were originating. To not notice .....

.... the community to effect the way in which they treat others. A prime example of this would be her characterization of the Bingley sisters because while wasting little time going into detail about them, she made it clear to the reader that the two young ladies definitely suffer from a superiority complex as well as gifts for making discourteous remarks about people ( Elizabeth Bennett in particular) behind their backs. “The sisters...thought no more of the matter and their difference towards Jane...restored Elizabeth to her original dislike” (Austen 24). As the novel progresses, the two begin “abusing her [Elizabeth] as soon .....

.... are returning, their minds turn to the problem of how they are going to provide food to the group. Jack had found some pig trails earlier and he brought up the idea of hunting the pigs for food. As he is saying this, the boys happen upon a piglet that is entangled in some creepers. “The three boys rushed forward and Jack drew his knife again with a flourish. He raised his arm in the air. There came a pause, a hiatus, the pig continued to scream and the creepers to jerk, and the blade continued to flash at the end of a bony arm.” (27) Jack found that he in fact could not kill the pig so the group continued to eat the fruit that .....

.... by one of his communist comrades, Stalin. Stalin ruled for a great period of time, but everyone knows there is no such thing as immortality, and so he got kicked out too! This time by his own people. In Animal Farm a boar name "Old Major" has a dream about a world where animals rule, there are no differences, all equality, a dream about communism. This same thought applies with the idea of Stalin and his plan in ruling Russia. So when Snowball hears this him and his comrades get ready to attack the government, Mr. Jones (also known as "the Czar"). When he is overthrown Snowball becomes the leader and is betrayed by Napoleon. Thi .....

.... lives who has wronged us both! Who is he?" When he says this, he is hinting that he is going to do something to Dimmesdale. This is why Hester makes Chillingworth promise not to kill her lover if he finds out his identity. Chillingworth deserves to know who slept with his wife, although Hester should not have had to tell him. I think that Dimmesdale should have admitted that he was Pearl's father. Today, if a priest admitted such a crime, he would probably be sent to jail. However, in the novel, had Dimmesdale confessed, the townsfolk would have liked him even more. Hester also has to live with, and conceal, the secr .....

.... as governor and ate all the food, drank beer, and lived in the owner’s house. However, to the farm animals, they considered these to be the 7 commandments: 1. Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy. 2. Whatever goes upon four legs and has wings is a friend. 3. No animal shall wear clothes. 4. No animal shall sleep in a bed. 5. No animal shall drink alcohol. 6. No animal shall kill another animal. 7. All animals are equal. Toward the end of the novel the pigs will have broken all of these commandments, which lead to their demise. Orwell’s novel depicts how a society can be corrupted if all the powe .....

.... The "L" of the farmhouse was like that of his own body, shrunken and weak (Nevius 136). Ethan himself represented Wharton’s idea of a honorable man in the nineteenth century. He has admirable qualities, such as integrity, ambition, and wisdom (Magill 531). It is his sense of morals and responsibility that continuously prevents him from leaving Zeena and joining Mattie to a better life for himself (Nevius 132). He is trapped not only by his morality here, but has been a trapped man from the very beginning. His parents’ illness, his unfinished education, the farm and saw-mill he is left with, and finally his marriage to th .....

.... to abate it. Macbeth had risked his life to attain the throne and he had no choice but to employ Machiavellian practices to retain it. The appearance of Banquo’s ghost at the royal banquet horrifies Macbeth. Shakespeare brilliantly uses irony to make Banquo’s emergence very dramatic: Macbeth: Fail not our feast. Banquo: My lord, I will not. (III, i, ll 28-29) Banquo’s appearance provides insight into the character of Macbeth. It shows the level that Macbeth’s mind has recessed to. His morality is declining and although he is battling his conscience, the evil forces have overcome his every thought and action. .....

.... There is a description of a great celebration. The boys chant "Kill the pig. Cut her throat. Spill her blood." It is clear from Golding's description of the revelry that followed the killing that the act of the hunt provided the boys with more than food. The action of killing another living thing gives them pleasure. The last stage in Jack's metamorphosis is demonstrated by the murder of the sow. Golding describes the killing almost as a rape. He says, "Jack was on top of the sow, stabbing downward wherever pig flesh appeared ... Jack found the throat, and the hot blood spouted over his hands. The sow collapsed under them and .....

.... to visit his little sister, Phoebe, to say good bye. He admires her a lot and they communicate very well. Holden realises that there are things he cannot solve by him self, and decides to rejoin his family. The style of the book is very unusual because it is told by a sixteen-year-old boy. It can give you some problems because some of the things he tells about and observe might not be true, but extremely exaggerated. We are not even sure that he is mentally stabile since the writer of the book J. D. Salinger lets Holden tell the story from a hospital bed. Although the problems the style of writing lets us better understand and ge .....
