.... one of the machine-gunners…We bayonet the others before they can get their grenades out” (p84). The use of poison gas is also a very brutal practice throughout the novel. Baumer describes this while he is in a gassed area, hoping that his gas mask is working properly. He says, “I know the terrible sights from the field hospital, soldiers who have been gassed, choking for days on end as they spew up their burned-out lungs, bit by bit” (p48). The narrator changes his attitude towards war as he becomes more aware of its undesirable effects. Even in the beginning, Baumer realises its terrible reality and the .....

.... in the closing of The Awakening commits suicide by walking into the ocean. Perhaps if there had been a more well rounded woman figure in Edna’s life, she wouldn’t have felt the life she craved was, “...an undefined, unexpressed, ineffable life that she cannot articulate or shape” (Spangler). In witnessing other women achieve the articulation of a complexly spirited life, she may have found a new life easier to attain. Adele serves as the perfect "mother-woman" in The Awakening, being both married and pregnant, but Edna does not follow Adele’s footsteps. For Edna, Adele appears unable to perceive herself as an indivi .....

.... purest character in the book. From the beginning of the novel, one can observe the inner strength of young Huck. Huck was a “beaten and bruised” child, coming from a family where the only guidance that the boy had was from his drunken Pap (Dynos 13). Due to a lack of leadership to follow in, Huck was forced to raise himself. It takes a strong character to raise oneself (18), and Huck did one hell of a job doing it. Children gain much of who they are from how they were brought up, during this critical period children can be made or broken. Huck is the exception, he had nobody to look up to or imitate, instead he did as w .....

.... from the Puritan town; instead, her isolation is inflicted upon her. Hester tries to establish a normal and honest relationship with many of the characters in the story, but sometimes it becomes very difficult. Pearl, Hester's daughter, becomes so closely associated with the "A" on Hester's chest, becoming, as Hawthorne says, "the scarlet letter in another form; the scarlet letter endowed with life." Therefore, she becomes the embodiment not only of her mother's sin but of her conscience. Furthermore, because it is through Hester's acceptance of punishment that she is saved, Pearl becomes the main agent in her mother's liberati .....

.... of the worl unite!" he wrote. "You have nothing to lose but your chains."

The church tells working people to forget about th injustice they meet in their lives and to think instead of how wonderful it wi in the after- life when they go to heaven. Marx, with his colleague, Engels, spread his ideas in two famous books, Capital' and 'The Communist Manifesto'. In the early years of the twentieth century, Russia was ready for the ide Marx. .....

.... fire on a hunt, meanwhile a ship passed by the island unaware of the group's presence because the signal fire was dead. When Ralph confronts Jack about letting the fire go out, Jack retorted by saying they needed meat and to hunt. When Jack has a feast, he invites the other boys to follow him, saying that they will hunt and have fun while they are on the island. The situation that occurs in the novel, could have arisen had there been only a group of boys in question, who were obedient to those older than them. This is because the younger boys would show more respect and obey orders of the older boys such as Ralph and Jack. .....

.... he does not take heed to his own advice and stay away from the fox that encounters him later. He is educated enough to know these supposed quotations but not intelligent enough to understand the real meaning of them. It is if he simply brings because they help him win the argument with his spouse and not because he actually believes what they say. Chaucer is using the idea that the Aristocracy has schooling throughout their childhood, but it is only done to have seemingly important but empty conversations. His physical appearance is also described with such beautiful passion that it makes us think Chaunticleer is heaven on earth. .....

Charles Baker "Dill" Harris was the only other child mentioned in the story that was a friend of Scout and Jem. He was from Meridian and the trio became aquatinted because Dill would come to Alabama and visit with his Aunt Rachel in the summer who stayed across from Scout and Jem.

They made him promises of quality time they never kept, so they would buy hi .....

.... (141). He quickly establishes the fact that it late at night and most people have either fallen asleep or have at least headed home for the night. From this one sentence it is also evident that the café is lit by an electric light that is bright enough to casts a crisp shadow over the last, lonely occupant of the establishment. One old man was remaining at the café and was keeping the two late night employees from closing up. The old man is deaf and it is noted that he takes pleasure in the late hours at the café because he can escape the rushing crowds of the daytime and relax in the silence of the night. The last employe .....
