.... ones, and he appreciates the distinction. Huck is also more familiar with flawed families than loving, virtuous ones, and he is happy to sing the praises of the people who took him in. Col. Grangerford "was a gentleman all over; and so was his family"(116). The Colonel was kind, well-mannered, quiet and far from frivolish. Everyone wanted to be around him, and he gave Huck confidence. Unlike the drunken Pap, the Colonel dressed well, was clean-shaven and his face had "not a sign of red in it anywheres"(116). Huck admired how the Colonel gently ruled his family with hints of a submerged temper. The same temper exists in one of .....

Even some of the others." (C.3, P.56, L.28). In this quote, he is referring to why the boys need shelters, reason being, they are afraid. He understands that by having shelters, the boys will feel more secure. Ralph's "government" is a form of democracy, whic .....

In it Oedipus thinking that he is directing his pronouncement upon some bandit, or conspirator, in all actuality he is truly condemning himself. Further examples of irony include his speech when he first answers the chorus “…Because of all these things I will fight for him as I would my own murdered father.” The irony inherent in this speech that Oedipus makes to the chorus lies for the most part in this single line, since the murde .....

Jordan leads a careless life, one incident proving this is the scene where Jordan is driving Nick. Nick tells her, “You’re a rotten driver, either you ought to be more careful or you oughtn’t to drive at all” (Fitzgerald 63), Jordan responds, “I hate careless people” (Fitzgerald 63).

.... two characters display all the skills and tricks they have learned over the years, and then wage war against each other. The setting plays a sufficient role in the story's overall development.

The setting holds the bulk of the action in it, the story has characters hiding in trees, falling in quicksand, and by being led into traps. Not using this setting in the story would make the story miss out on its excitement and suspense. The next few paragraphs will introduce the characters and will provide a psychological profile of t .....

.... go of your mind is dying. She needed a new life. She had to be named" (Don Quixote 9-10). And she must name herself for a man – become a man – before the nobility and the dangers of her ordeals will be esteemed.

In another of Acker's works she writes: "Having an abortion was obviously just like getting fucked. If we closed our eyes and spread our legs, we'd be taken care of. They stripped us of our clothes. Gave us white sheets to cover our nakedness. Let us back to the pale green room. I .....
