.... known across the world because of his cruelty. He destroys villages and steals their gold even though he can never use any of it. Bilbo is terrified of Smaug so he takes a handful of treasure and runs away back into the tunnel. Once he reaches the camp he falls down because he is so tired. Everyone is amazed by the treaseure and they all go to sleep dreaming of what other treasures are in the mountain.

He sent rocks flying down the mo .....

.... beginning of the novel before he begins his journey on the river. The character of Huck can be seen as subdued in the beginning of the novel. Huck has not let out his true self and it is important to understand this point that Mark Twain tries to get across. This is so important because at this point Huck is conforming to society and following all the standards and guidelines which it has set. The moral correctness of his actions are not questionable. The character who represents society and its views is Widow Douglas, and it is to her that Huck conforms. While on land at the beginning Huck is taken captive by Pap, his est .....

.... to sell the pearl to. The dealer tells Kino that his pearl is large and clumsy, and that no one would buy it. Then he offers Kino one thousand pesos, but Kino knows that the pearl is worth fifty thousand pesos. When Kino doesn't agree to sell the pearl for a thousand pesos the dealer tells his servant to go find three other dealers. When the other dealers get there, two of them say that they wouldn't give Kino anything for it and the third one offers him five hundred pesos for it. It is obvious that the dealers had pre arranged this so they could take advantage of Kino, and make a very large profit. It must take a very gr .....

.... as being comfortable than most people know. She says, "It is like an extended living room." (351) Another prized possession of the family was the first house that they lived in. Apparently they felt comfortable living there, because when it was burned in a fire they moved to another one that was almost identical. Contrary to her mother and Maggie, the oldest daughter Dee, hated the house and the environment they lived in. The mother mentions in the story how Dee acted like she wanted to do a dance around the house while it was on fire. The mother also was sure that Dee would like the new house when she sees it as she stat .....

.... and preserve their naïveté. This point of view is reflected often, and stems from his English upbringing and the British society of the day. Marlow speaks utilizing many lewd words and racial slurs. Many of the Victorian ideals still remain within English culture, and this fragility towards women is a prime example of the fragmented set of beliefs. Nevertheless, Marlow views women as mindless pawns, his stance is evident when he goes to speak with the Intended. While speaking with Marlow, the Intended praises Kurtz and speaks of his many good deeds and respectable traits. Hearing these glorifications, Marlow could not bring h .....

.... but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird," he is referring to the notion that a mockingbird is a harmless creature and does nothing but sing and bring happiness to the world. Harper Lee takes the title for her novel from this passage because the imagery of the mockingbird is comparable to the characters of both Boo Radley and Tom Robinson. These two characters are "harmless songbirds" who are sinfully destroyed. This statement also definitely shows that the kids (Jem and Scout) have respect for Atticus. The building of a snowman by Jem and Scout one winter is very symbolic. There was not enough snow to make a snowman entire .....

.... to continue his education at Ingolstadt, he remarks, “I, who had ever been surrounded by amiable companions, continually engaged in endeavoring to bestow mutual pleasure, I was now alone” (Shelley, 25). Frankenstein no longer feels all the happiness he once felt when he was united with his family and friends. He alienates himself from others because he thinks he is “totally unfitted for the company of strangers” (Shelley, 25). When Frankenstein is at Ingolstadt, he “has a void of the soul” so profound that he subverts Nature to fill it (qtd. in Renfroe, 2). He conceives, “A new specie .....

.... woods in the Brown story are definitely nowhere anyone would want to journey off into, as they may never leave in the same state of mind. The woods, in my story are creepy in appearance as most woods are, but are very safe and calming . My woods are overcome with nature at it’s best and great scenery. As one passes through my woods, they will notice a large pond where one can sit and watch as animals come from all over to hunt, fish, bath, drink, etc. There was one time awhile back when I was there and saw a bear and her cubs playing in the water; as long as I stayed still and quite they left me alone and I was able to sit a .....

.... reality in 1999. In his day, Orwell's predictions seemed outlandish, but today, many people would argue that his dreams have become reality. Although the world is not under complete control of the government, the leaders of today do influence the direction society goes. Increased technology has led to a highly monitored society, much like Orwell's Oceania. Hidden cameras and huge satellites allow the government to view individual people and entire countries at one time. In 1984, devices called telescreens functioned as televisions and cameras, relaying government messages and surveillance footage to the "Thought Police." In refer .....

.... the word, she was your typical housewife. She never left the house, mostly because her husband was afraid of the way people "would talk." I do not know if but a few people knew about their marriage, and that was they way Torvald wanted it to be. It really wasn't her fault she was the way she was. It was mostly Torvald's for spoiling her. Ibsen uses creative, but effective, animal imagery to develop Nora's character throughout the play. He has Torvald call his wife "his little lark" or "sulky squirrel" or other animal names throughout the play. He uses a lot of 'bird' imagery-calling her many different bird names. It seems to me .....
