.... is that of the prophet Elijah and Captain Ahab. Elijah warms Queequeg and Ishmael of Ahab. Ishmael says that he and Queequeg and boarding the Pequod because they have just “signed the articles” (Melville 68) and Elijah responds “Anything down there about your souls” (Melville 68). This conflict between Elijah and Ahab goes all the way back to the bible. I Kings describes the conflict between King Ahab and his wife Jezebel. Elijah tells Ahab that “in the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick they blood, even thine,” (I Kings 21:19), and that “the dogs shall .....

.... been dead and there was no recollection in the cities files of what he had told her. Because she had refused to send any money to pay her taxes an alderman had shown up at her door to settle the situation. When he told her she had to pay her taxes Emily simply said “I have no taxes in Jefferson.”(Faulkner, 142) The gentleman continued insisting that she pay her taxes. Emily believed so much that she was right that she continued to say “see Colonel Sartoris. I have no taxes in Jefferson.” (Faulkner, 143) This was the first time Faulkner showed how stubborn Emily could be. She told the alderman to leave and that was the end .....

In the above paragraphs I have proven that Atticus is kind, wise and seeks the truth. Now Scout sees that Atticus isn't flimsy and feeble. She sees that he is strong and wise, and that she and Jem should resp .....

.... Gatsby's house the material things seem to lose their life. Daisy represents a dreamlike, heavenly presence which all that he has is devoted to. Yes, we should consider Jay Gatsby as tragic figure because of belief that he can restore the past and live happily, but his distorted faith is so intense that he blindly unaware of realism that his dream lacks.

What he wants is his dream, and that dream is embodied in Daisy. Ironically, D .....

.... world, which in turn ultimately enriches the main characters in the story, Pelayo and Elisenda. The author does not portray the divine as one might think. When a person thinks of an angel they think of a very elegant, beautiful figure usually clothed in white with a spiritual presence. Garcia does not portray angels in this typical way. In this story, "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings," he describes the angel as being, very old, foul smelling, and having unusually enormous wings, but lacking the ability to fly. By taking the "real" and making it "surreal," Garcia Marquez expresses the notion of "magical realism." This style o .....

.... they are. In every room of almost every building there is a Telescreen which allows Part members to see and hear anything that goes on in the area of the telescreen. Knowing that anything they say, think or do is being seen by the "Big Brother" people will began to believe and think what they are told is the truth, if they do not, they are tortured until they do. Big Brother is used, in my opinion, to scare the people of Oceania. He is seen as a very powerful person (even if he isn't real) and people know what will happen if they disobey him. The Party wants everyone to have the same morals and beliefs, Big Brother scares tha .....

.... a long history of racial and ethnic discrimination and only now are we changing. The society in Brave New World has not lost their values but has simple changed their idea of what is right and wrong. After all, how much have we changed in the past 600 years. Six-hundred years ago in England, we killed people for conducting scientific experiments and believed this was against the teachings of the church. The society in Brave New World is a mirror to our own when we view the past. If a person from the present were to see the sacrifices and eating of the human flesh by the Aztec Indians, that person would see it as barbar .....
