.... could have; however, this was a good thing. It served to leave something up to the imagination and creativity of the reader. Odysseus struggles with extremely menacing foe such as a giant cyclops, Polyphemus, who eats Odysseus' men like bite-size candy and a six headed beast, able to devour men whole. Homer allows the imagination of the reader to come up with the details like the color and size of the creatures and what the surroundings look like. Odysseus was away at Troy for 10 years fighting a long, difficult war. Unfortunately for Odysseus the war was just the beginning of his adventure. His journey home turned out to be f .....

.... these things had actually happened, and they were not simply a fictional story produced by some author's overactive imagination. However, it becomes apparent it wasn't just the horrific story of these murders that is troubling, but the aspect of how Capote tells the story that makes reading it uneasy. Unlike many other murder stories, Capote not only discusses the criminals and their role in the crime, but their childhoods, their lives right before the crime, and their lives after the conviction until the executions. This may be because he was able to establish such rapport with these two men through countless hours of .....

.... is unable to show her love with mere words: "Cordelia. [Aside] What shall Cordelia speak? Love, and be silent." Act I, scene i, lines 63-64. Cordelia's nature is such that she is unable to engage in even so forgivable a deception as to satisfy an old king's vanity and pride, as we see again in the following quotation: "Cordelia. [Aside] Then poor cordelia! And not so, since I am sure my love's More ponderous than my tongue. " Act I, Scene i, lines 78-80. Cordelia clearly loves her father, and yet realizes that her honesty will not please him. Her nature is too good to allow even the slightest deviation from her morals. An i .....

.... life and read The New Testament (the only book he was allowed). However, it was not until his compulsory army service that Dostoyevsky's faith began to blossom. In the army, Dostoyevsky met a fellow officer and devout Christian named Baron von Vrangel, who befriended the still young Dostoevesky and helped him re-discover the Christian faith (Frank 4). Although a professing Christian for the rest of his life, Dostoyevsky was not a “plaster saint.” (Until he died, he was plagued by doubts and a passion for gambling.) Instead, Dostoyevsky understood, perhaps better than any other great Christian author, that hi .....

.... with the twentieth century's worst period. Words such as Luftwaffe, panzerman, and Meinkampf look are used to descibe her father and husband as well as all male domination. The frequent use of the word black throughout the poem conveys a feeling of gloom and suffocation. Like many women in society, we know that Plath felt oppressed and stifled throughout her life by her use of the simile "I have lived like a shoe for thirty years poor and white, barely able to breath or Achoo." The use of similes and metaphors such as "Chuffing me off like a Jew. A Jew to Dachau, Auschwitz, Belson." and "I think I may well be a Jew" clearly sho .....

.... it tells it with artful reticence, withholding the tragedy, yet letting it impinge, by suggestion, on the narrative." This quote is very true. The book was very straight forward. There was not much humor, but it sure made the reader feel the frustrating times of the early twentieth century. Percy Wollaston was the main character in the book. It was written from his point-of -view, and his memories of his early life. Mr. Wollaston describes the hard life of pioneer families on the Great Plains. He describes how families, including his own, traveled westward with the railroad to find a bit of fertile land they could call their o .....
