.... from Sin. James Wait acted cruelly to his wives. He just wanted money and someone to converse with. Leon Trout tells us in the beginning of the book about James' marriages: “Wait had so far courted and married seventeen such persons-and then cleaned out their jewelry boxes and safe-deposit boxes and bank accounts, and disappeared.”(Pg. 8) James Wait portrays his cruelness and decisiveness towards women in the story. He shows his state of an “ Iron Age” and he cheats people into entering it so that he may attain power to manipulate them and live off them like a parasite. He probably knows he acts corrupt but he d .....

.... things and appearances. Mr. Manders is exactly the same way. He only cares about what people think of him, not real issues. Ibsen also shows that people are narrow-minded. Nora even points this out to Tovrald when he is condemning Krogstad for one mistake. Mr. Manders is very narrow-minded in the way he thinks society should be. He has a very cut and dry outlook on the way life should be lived. He looks down upon people he believes are sinners because they live a different way of life. This is shown through his discussion with Oswald about life in Paris. Ibsen also shows that people in the Victorian time do not speak their m .....

.... fumes. One quote describing the island was "Thorne glimpsed rugged, volcanic terrain, overgrown with dense jungle. This book was actually packed with action, that is what kept me reading it for such long periods at a time. One very adventurous scene was when Sarah and Kelly where chasing after the raptor which had the key wrapped around it's mouth. "They were now just three feet away. Kelly could smell the animal. It turned it's head and snapped at them." Another exciting scene was when Eddie Carr was battling with the raptors on the high hide and lost.

.... Gatsby' s destruction shows that those who try to maintain an idealism based on purely materialistic values are doomed by their self delusion, and George Wilson's unfortunate career illustrates the fate of the common man in the waste land. There are a few minor characters in The Great Gatsby whose main significance is symbolic. In particular Dan Cody who is a “pioneer debauchee” who employed the youthful Gatsby and gave him his “singularly appropriate education”. While Cody' s importance in advancing Gatsby' s career is undeniable, the man had died before the time of the main action. He serves as an American “t .....

.... slang and foul words which help illustrate opinions on certain topics. For example, "Liberal Media, my ass" clearly shows his disbelief of the idea that the media is liberal (125-130).

Other crafty language techniques include quotations of scripture and the naming of individual sections with football teams. Overall, the language used by Hightower is not the typical scholarly prose found .....

Huck had found out earlier that Pap was back in Town. Both Huck and Jim are very superstisoius as most of the people were then. There was not a lot of the modern technologies that we have today to prove many superstitions false. The hairball really does not tell Huck anything th .....

.... 42 points out, someone of the higher class could obtain someone as a mistress but not as a wife. Marriage always had to be approved by your mistress. No matter how much one loved another, it also had to be consented between both sides of the family. You could not remarry until mourning was done. And a couple could not be active right after the wife gave birth. Most of the time, when a wife becomes a widow, she goes into religious life. It was thought of most honorable to do so.

.... taught "to desire nothing, to swallow other people's misery, to eat [their] own bitterness." (p. 241) Though not many of them grew up terribly poor, they all had a certain respect for their elders, and for life itself. These Chinese mothers were all taught to be honorable, to the point of sacrificing their own lives to keep any family members' promise. Instead of their daughters, who "can promise to come to dinner, but if she wants to watch a favorite movie on TV, she no longer has a promise" (p. 42), "To Chinese people, fourteen carats isn't real gold . . . [my bracelets] must be twenty-four carats, pure inside and out." (p. 42) J .....
