.... of life and the insignificance of our free will are apparently the most important themes in the book, but I don't agree. I also don't agree that it is a war story or a love story. Exactly what it is, though, is not clear to me. Can't art exist without being anything? "There isn't always an explanation for everything." War and love are obviously important themes in the book, and the relationship between the two is explored by Hemingway and, somewhat, by Henry. In the first two Books we are in the war and the war is overwhelming. In the last two Books we are in love. And, just as the first two Books are peppered with love in the .....

.... books all afternoon. Matilda's parents were both so warmless and so wrapped up in their own silly little lives that they failed to notice anything unusual about Matilda.

.... as if she married him the next day. Charlotte even goes as far as to say that “it is better to know as little as possible of the defects of the person with whom you are to pass your life” (p.21). Charlotte considered Mr. Collins "neither sensible nor agreeable" but since marriage had always been her goal in life, "at the age of twenty-seven, with having never been handsome, she felt all the good luck of it" (p.107). Charlotte is speaking to Elizabeth on her marriage to Mr. Collins, "I am not romantic, you know. I never was. I ask only a comfortable home; and considering Mr. Collins' character, connections, and situation .....

.... her father. She didn’t know he’d run and therefore seem to seal the fact that he provoked it. Mayella took care of everything around her. In this way she sang her heart out. Mayella took charge of her siblings. She was like their mother. They might not have had much class, but they were relatively healthy and able thanks to her. She kept a good house (with the help of Tom Robinson it seems). The most touching point is that with all her responsibilities and at the age she was, Mayella still took the time to tend to a patch of red geraniums in the yard. Perhaps just as they helped to brighten the yard, they also helped to .....

.... into his greed that when he could not quell it with the gold he felt his life was not worth living. Trina shows how greedy she is when she wins the 5,000 in the lottery.

Although Trina and Zerkows' greed for riches was almost identical, Zerkow is vied as a lost soul, yet Trina is viewed as a proper young lady. This is one of the things that leads to her death and the downfall of McTeague. McTeague shows that he is greedy also after Trina wins the money. He wants to control the money as if it belongs to him. In a wa .....

.... of Charlie Dalton, the reader assumes that he is handsome and ?preppy?. The reader creates a picture in his (or her) mind of a very attractive, Matt Damon-type (he is so hot), above average high school male. Contradictory, in the movie, Charlie is shown as a rather average, scholarly gentleman, leaving no room for the imagination take over. Also, Knox Overstreet is described in the novel as a curly-headed, athletically built young adult; but, in the movie, he is shown as tall and lanky with straight hair. Still, contrary to those characters, the character of Mr. Keating is portrayed precisely the same in both works as an ave .....

.... he could cure the King's condition. George was taken away to a private dwelling where Dr. Willis treated him.

William Pitt has the doctor write encouraging letters updating the King's condition so that the Parliament doesn't lose hope. Given a certain amount of time to return to the throne before his son takes over, Dr. Willis continues aggressively treating King George. While growing impatient the Prince tries to convince Dr. Willis to write that the King will be u .....

.... of his once admired neighbors and the realization of his own secret sin causes him to become terribly disillusioned (Colacurcio 396). The same thing happens in “The Minister’s Black Veil,” except the reader does not know exactly what secret sin makes Reverend Hooper begin to don the black veil. Many scholars believe that this has something to do with the funeral of the young lady at the beginning of the story. The opinions range from believing that Reverend Hooper loved the girl in secret, to Poe’s believe that Reverend Hooper may have actually been the cause of the girl’s death (Newman 204). Whatever the reason, the mi .....

.... in Yiddish. At first the two boys cannot stand each other, many times Danny refers to Rueven as "apikorsim," (32) which basically translates to... someone who is not true to their religion. These differences between the two soon become obsolete with one unfortunate accident, and make them realize they could use each other to get through some hard times. "Silence is all we dread. There's ransom in a voice--But Silence is infinity."-Emily Dickinson Emily Dickinson's quote can be related to the novel in several ways. "Silence is all we dread," can relate to Danny's lifestyle and how he cannot stand the silence in which his father li .....
