.... the point of insanity (see Appendix R) (Decoder, Internet). The feeling of lost love portrayed in the poem might have reflected the death of Poe’s wife, Virginia, in 1847 (Qrisse, Internet). As it is read, a definite rhyme scheme is present: internal rhyme in the first and third line, and end rhymes in lines two, four, and five. All eighteen stanzas of the poem are arranged like this, but Poe never makes it seems unexciting or repetitious. Probably the most noticeable and most brilliant aspect of “The Raven” is it’s saturation of symbolism. The raven (see Appendix R) itself is the main symbol, r .....

.... that sleeps in the room next door, comes in through the shower curtains and disturbes him by picking up and laying down everything in the room and asking stupid questions. Finally, Stradlater, Holden's roommate comes in in a big hurry and makes Ackley think of leaving the room. Chapter 4 --------- Stradlater tells Holden he's going out tonight with Jane Gallagher, who used to be Holden's neighbour when she was young. While Stradlater is shaving, Holden sits next to him and he's turning the tap on and off, as a nervous habit. Stradlater asks Holden to do him a huge favour by writing a composition for him. Holden isn't intere .....

.... Northerners, yet many still felt the slaves deserved their position in life. Douglass, for his own safety, was urged to travel to England where he stayed and spoke until 1847 when he returned to the U.S. to buy his freedom. At that point, he began to write and distribute an anti-slavery newspaper called "The North Star". Not only did he present news to the slaves, but it was also highly regarded as a good source of information for those opposed to slavery. During the Civil war, Douglass organized two regiments of black soldiers in Massachusetts to fight for the North. Before, during and after the war he continued his quest .....

.... important than the girl herself is. He does not think about love. It is possible to imagine how Leo was disappointed when Salzmen introduced the girls to him. "Sophie P. Widow. Father promises eight thousand dollars. Has wonderful wholesale business. Also realestate." "Lily H. Regular. Father is successful dentist thirty-five years. Interested in professional man. Wonderful opportunity." Moreover, "She is a partikiler. She wants the best." Leo's interest to Lily was aroused, and he began seriously to consider calling on her. Finally they met. She provoked him to say the strange, but a very capacious and valuable phrase: .....

.... punishment for her sin was distinguished in that the results of her actions were for the most part external. Hawthorne describes what Hester’s punishment was like when he states, “In all her intercourse with society, however, there was nothing that made her feel as if she belonged to it. Every gesture, every word, and even the silence of those with whom she came in contact, implied, and often expressed, that she was banished.”(p.44) Although Hester was somewhat emotionally damaged through public humiliation and alienation, Hester was actually internally content at the fact that she was paying for he .....

.... bother because “there were too many of them.” At the moment when this revelation takes place, the woman of the night sees the preacher in the midst of taking out the knife, and she screams. The shouting brings a Negro servant, and the preacher is forced to kill both the servant and prostitute. In Powell's sick and twisted mind, God had merely changed His mind when Preacher's life was in danger. There is a contradiction in “God's words” and clearly the preacher is merely using his “conversations” to aid in his own egotistical self-interest. The fact that Preacher lies to most people that he meets is a way in which .....

.... climax, and resolution. The rising events include the parts in the story when the narrator first arrives at the house, meets Roderick, and hears about Roderick's and Madeline's problems. Madeline's death and burial are part of the conflict. At this point, Roderick and the narrator begin to hear sounds throughout the house. The sounds are an omen that an evil action is about to occur. The climax is reached when Madeline comes back from the dead and she and her twin brother both die. Finally, the resolution comes when the narrator escapes from the house and turns around to watch it fall to the ground. The theme that Edgar Allen Poe .....

.... car troubles, traffic, hotel rooms, other visitors pushing them onward, their bored children, and the long trip home in a flood of cars. Many of them take tons of pictures, possibly so that they can actually enjoy the park without all of the hassles (Abbey 58). Without leaving their cars they will never actually experience the beauty and wonderment of the parks. They will only find the stress and chaos that they sought to leave at home (Abbey 59). There is a minority though, that prefers to be able to get away from the modern world completely, and travel throughout the parks on foot, bicycle, or horse. With these vehicles the .....

.... see that men treated women as if y were nothing more than possessions or property. y had no respect for ir wives, mors, or even ir daughters as y constantly treated m like housemaids who were re to answer to ir every call. Even Edna's far thinks that his daughter is her husband's property. We see this when he says "You are far too lenient, too lenient by far, Leonce. Authority, coercion are what is needed. Put your foot down good and hard; only way to manage a wife" (Chopin 663). This is her own far telling her husband that he needs to be tougher on her. Chopin is clearly showing inequality of women here. Nowadays, you would ne .....

.... meant, doubtless, as the mother herself hath told us, for a retribution too; a torture to be felt at many an unthought-of moment; a pang, a sting, an ever-recurring agony, in the midst of a troubled joy! Hath she not expressed this thought with the garb of the poor child, so forcibly reminding us of that red symbol which sears her bosom?'"(110-111). Pearls gestures, and the essence which her presence pours forth, insinuate to the child's evil roots and the effect there of. "the child could not be made amenable to rules. In giving her existence, a great law had been broken, and the result was a being whose elements wher .....
