.... federal deficit and economics, the legacy of Reagan and Bush. Further, the author argues Clinton continued to shift his politics away from the left and more toward middle-ground, to the point of co-opting numerous issues of the Republican agenda while still supporting popular Democratic programs, "While rhetorically proclaiming that 'the era of big government is over,' Clinton also co-opted Republican positions on family values, crime, welfare reform, and a balanced budget…Thus, this New Democrat had absorbed well the chief political lesson of the day, that had gone too far and needed to be deflected back toward the center, wh .....

.... name of Goodman Brown and his wife Faith are clear symbolic elements. Goodman Brown stands for the naïve, immature young man who only sees the good in his fellowman, and has yet to be confronted with evil. Faith, Goodman Brown’s young wife stands for what Goodman Brown believes in. He sees his wife as all that is good and when he realizes that she too has made a pack with the devil he cries “my faith is gone…There is no good on earth.” This makes Brown a stern, sad and distrustful man. I think Hawthorne was saying that when man’s faith is gone he is lost and without purpose. There are many objects in “Youn .....

.... interpretation because the reader knows nothing about the salesperson except for his profession. The man might have feared the thought of losing his job if he had not known how to fix Tannen's camera. The man's boss might have been standing next to him when this incident occurred. Tannen's interpretation of this example is that the salesperson gave her all the unwanted information on her camera in order to prove to her that he is not incompetent. Her argument is that men always try to show their superiority and imply it in conversation (65). Tannen's interpretation of the example makes sense, but it is not convincing en .....

.... Garner, who tried to kill all of her children when they were captured by her slave owner, and she did succeed in killing one. When the novel begins, Sethe and her daughter, Denver, are living with the ghost of the baby Sethe killed when she was about to be recaptured. After another former slave, Paul D., arrives, he chases away the ghost, but soon a young woman named Beloved comes to Sethe's home. This woman is strangely similar to Sethe's dead daughter, which is ironic because the word "Beloved" is the only word engraved on her baby's tombstone, though it is never entirely clear if the woman truly is the baby's ghost turned to fle .....

.... saying that he, the base, shall top the legitimate meaning that one day he will exceed his brother. This sarcasm shows the bitterness with which Edmund views all legitimate children. Another way of showing bitterness, which has almost the same effect as sarcasm, is ridiculing. Edmund feels that married couples are "between asleep and awake" when they go to "creating a whole tribe of fops". This nasty way of referring to legitimate children displays the bitterness with which Edmund views these innocent children. Edmund has been viewed as a lower class citizen all of his life due to the fact that he is a bastard. This ha .....

.... different sets of family. Sara Rosen's decision of explaining her family and the traditions set forth, was an exceptional way to start the novel. It gave the reader a more detailed image of what to expect. The reader now fully understands what the Rosen family was experiencing while trying to survive the Holocaust. The reader, also, now has knowledge of what the Jewish Religion is like and realizes all the faith and trust they put into God. In part two, the longest of the three parts, Sara Rosen explains the hair-raising detailed actions that took place during the war. She begins with a very interesting quote: “Have .....

.... wouldn’t make no more talk than breaking into a soap factory” (176). Tom’s outlandish plan has much more “style” and he assures Huck that it will free Jim from slavery. Huck being a realist doesn’t understand the need for danger but he was satisfied, “…it would make Jim just as free a man as mine would, and maybe get us all killed besides” (176). Tom takes control over Huck and convinces him that they must free Jim by the books, not taking into consideration whether he is uncomfortable or suffering. Tom is only interested in the adventure of the scheme, where as Huck is mainly concerned about freeing Jim. The .....

.... for dinner with the food rationing. He even likes to write how people cured themselves of radiation sickness and what the burns and other injuries look and act like. These things are like myself in the fact that he does not like to forget what things are like, wants to see first hand what the effects are, and is very interested in finding information about new things that he has never seen before. He also likes to help people greatly such as his constant wanderings looking for coal for his community. If you were depended on would you help your community? I think so. The theme that is very meaningful to me is that war hurts two dif .....

.... one dark world into darker world of New York City. The second half of the novel raises the intriguing questions and incorporates the deeper meaning of the work (Geismar). Holden sits on the cusp of adulthood, tethering dangerously close to his fate and reality and The Catcher in the Rye is the story of his journey into the adult world. In addition, this novel is similar to other famous works of the same nature. Salinger emulates elements of Shakespeare's Hamlet and Twain's Huckleberry Finn. Like Huck Finn, The Catcher in the Rye is the story of a young man’s journey into adulthood. Holden journeys into the human condition, .....
