.... in the story. She is about nine years old when they story takes place, she is remembering the story. Claudia is black and doesn't see anything wrong with that. She isn't like the other girls who think it would be better if she was white, she doesn't buy into that idea, she destroys the white dolls that she receives for Christmas. Claudia has learned from her mother how to be a strong black female and express her opinion in a white dominated society. Frieda is a lot like her sister and had the same morals imposed on her by her mother. Frieda is about ten years old when the story takes place. The book The Bluest Eye is not told in .....

.... out one fault. The mere fact that he continues optimistically in his pursuits after the considerations in this section shows his implicit belief that he is not being deceived in his current or future deliberations on the matter. This simple fact seems to contradict the very essence of this meditation. The Second Meditation continues to address the issues of evil deception in body and mind, and aims primarily to draw the conclusion that although at this point the existence of the body apparently cannot be known, the existence of the self (which is later equated with the mind) can. This is based on Descartes' belief: "I think tha .....

.... London, but instead had ideas of his own. If it wasn't for Abraham Adams, Fanny might have been raped by the man who was accompanying her to London. The next show of a sexual advance on Fanny was made by a Squire that they had encountered after leaving Mr. Wilson's house. Since the Squire's dogs had attacked Adams, he defended himself by hitting them with his cane. When the Squire arrived, and saw the bruises on his dogs, he would have probably had Joseph and Adams indicted had he not seen Fanny. He invited all of them to dinner at his estate, trying to get Joseph and Parson Adams drunk, so he and Fanny could spend some time a .....

.... and he does throughout the whole book with his constant depression. Dostoesky believes in punishment for your crimes, this is why he shows Raskolnokov suffering through most of the novel, to show his great love for penance. Dostoevsky likes the kind giving nature of people; this is why he portrays the main character as a kind, gentle, and giving, person. Often, Raskolnokov thinks only of others benefits such as when he helped Katerina by giving her all his money for Marmelodov, as well as his caring about what happens to his sister with her marriage to Luzhin. Raskolnokov hates Luzhin’s arrogant and pompous attitude, wh .....

.... of fine gray fur, garnished sleeves, and a gold pin. Actually we are told the pin he wears is in the shape of a lover's knot, which leads the reader to believe that he has or has had a lover in the past, again violating a ministerial principal and moral. In conclusion, the Monk's appearance among other things shows how he is hypocritical of his position as priest. The second reason the Monk is hypocritical is because of his actions. Primarily, Chaucer depicts the Monk as not liking work of any kind, but especially having no love for reading books (182-186). Monks were expected to be great scholars, men of higher learning. Re .....

.... parts of their bodies amputated in order to survive. When Kemmerich was in the hospital, Müller ask for his pair of boots. The boots was a visible reminder to the boys of the cost of war. Paul then has to face his own conscience when he kills one of the Frenchmen. He doesn’t see the face of an enemy but just a face of another human being. He tries to comfort himself by promising to help the fallen soldier's family. After Paul is relieved from the front line, he decides to go on leave and return home. But when he tries to tell everyone of the horrible conditions of the trenches, everybody either laughs him off or calls him .....

.... the girls being bewitched needed to be explained. To say that "witchcraft" is the answer the these questions. The unfortunate circumstance for some of the accused witches/wizards was that some of them had admitted to such crimes. The girls had fits and calling outs that didn't benefit them either. Some important happenings were when at Reverand Burrough's trial he argued that there were no such things as witches or wizards and that was considered a lie to the court since others had already confessed. Another event of somewhat similar nature was at her execution on Gallows Hill, Goody Good, said to the minister on hand that want .....

.... finally have the love of Angel unhindered by her past. She had killed her past in the house which was slowly killing her. The next residence for Tess after the murder was in an abandoned mansion: Bramshurst Court. This was the perfect place for Tess and Angel to escape to. She wished for nothing more than to be left alone, from other people and from her past. In this house she found a refuge with her true love, and experienced what she had not for much of her life--contentment. She did not desire to continue on with their journey at all. Tess there found the solitude with her one love that she had wanted for so long, and without t .....

.... pride themselves on the uniform goodness of their town and their ways of dealing with sinful dissenters. Hester’s public appearance is seen as a blessing on the “righteous Colony of Massachusetts.” (pg. 50) The Puritans see their society as picturesque and proper. To them it is in essence the light shining bright in the darkness. An accurate comparison to this view would be the Garden of Eden of Adam and Eve. The Puritans see themselves as the perfect humans within the garden. Those people who, like Adam and Eve, become sinful “must be scourged out of the town” and then “driven with stripes .....

.... on which to survive. Most people would not do this to their own kin. Mattie, on the other hand, is a very compassionate towards others, including Zeena. She is genuinely concerned for Zeena’s health when Zeena had to see the doctor and whenever Zeena wasn’t feeling well. She wants nothing but to do a good enough job around the house so that Zeena will be pleased with her. Also, Zeena is a pessimist while Mattie always tries to hope for the best. For example, Zeena is told by the doctor that she is sick and shouldn’t work so hard. Zeena takes this to mean that she is as good as dead if she doesn’t h .....
