.... book in that it illustrates the another aspect of their lives that Smiley left out. The infamous monopoly tournament between Ginny, Ty, Rose, Pete, and Jess went beyond a mere harmless board game played to pass the time and fill pages of the book. Beneath the seemingly innocent game lays the symbolism and significance Smiley used to describe the characters in a different light and to tie the tournament to the rest of the novel. Within these few scenes the reader acquires a wider vision of life off of the Cook farm and out of Zebulon County. Unquestionably overlooked by some, each piece of the monopoly game chosen is symbolic .....

.... both still loved each other, because she was strong enough to resist him and his womanizing ways. Piercy gave me a much better understanding of the cultural and social issues of the World War two era. I learned about the little struggles of working American women, such as the unavailability of stockings and society's negative attitude towards women wearing pants. These issues were ones that I had never thought about before. It amazes me that only fifty years ago a woman could not wear pants to work. Ruthie's friend was sent home to change for wearing loose fitting red pants because they were considered racy. It is equally su .....

.... Most of the paragraphs are confusing and lengthy; some even more than one or two pages long. In chapter two when Joseph is speaking at the Court of Inquiry, he is abruptly interrupted by the shrieks of a woman. Kafka explains the scene in almost two pages, paying extreme attention to detail. Most of his descriptions seem unnecessary, redundant, and quite confusing. At one point he is describing the scene of one part of the room, then Kafka describes a revelation, which occurs to Joseph about the men to whom he is speaking. Ordinarily, an author would designate a separate paragraph to Joseph's revelation about the men and hi .....

.... loved Tess for her innocece: "What a fresh and virginal daughter of Nature that milkmaid is (176)." After he came from Brazil, Angel realized that "The beauty or ugliness of a character lay not only in its achievements, but in its aims and impulses; its true history lay, not among things done, but among things willed (421)." Angel loved Tess for her intentions in the forest not her actions. The beautiness of Tess does not diminish because of the rape because she did not "aim" for that to happen. Angel's attitutude toward Tess in not of sexual nature and does not want to take advantage of her. While Angel took Retty, Izz, M .....

.... Wilsons with the car. Tom suggested that him and Casey stay and fix the car while the rest of the family go's on to Bakersfield and that they would meet them there. Ma then let out her fury, she held up a tire iron and demanded that they all stick together and that they will go to Bakersfield together. Ma is also very smart.

.... her strongest defense and force, her love of literature, to open this barrier and allow Maya to end the silence. By doing this, it enhanced Maya's courage and willingness to conquer other barriers and fortresses. Maya's love of literature expanded and opened her horizons. One of Maya's favorite pieces of literature is The Tale of Two Cities. She enjoyed it because it was a tale of her life, although in different cities, now being St. Louis and Stamps, it seemed as if she was reading her own autobiography, which is, in fact, rather portentous and foreshadowing. With the first line of the book being, "it was the best of times .....

.... Santiago let him carry things when the boy was just five years old. That is how young the boy was when he first started his "classes on fishing" as I would call them. The boy loved Santiago with all of his heart. To prove this one day the boy bought some minnows for the old man. That same day he also bought him a "can" of coffee. That day he wanted to go fishing with the old man, but the old man refused to let the boy come with him. He said, "You are with a lucky boat, stay with it." The boy was heart broken but soon got over it and went fishing with his boat. The boat the boy was on had a captain who was nearly blind. .....

.... simply too large to perceive them in detail, Gulliver judges the country's inhabitants he meets to be as perfect and innocent as their toylike appearances.

It is only after his services have been exploited and himself banished that Gulliver realizes how cruel and deceitful the Lilliputians truly are and his personality begins to transform. In book two, "A Voyage to Brobdingnag", Gulliver faces quite an opposite situat .....

.... to indicate these feelings of death and suicide. The month of November is known for being lifeless, a period in which some just wait for death to set in. In this quote Melville is strongly emphasizing Ishmael’s thoughts about death and suicide. "I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet," although Ishmael doesn’t mean to, he finds himself running into things related to death, "coffin warehouses" and funerals. The phrase "requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street," also shown Ishmael’s thoughts o .....
