.... combat the problems associated with living in a racist culture. Slavery is still fresh in the minds of many blacks and whites during the ‘30s and so are many harsh feelings. Berniece and Boy Willie tackle the racism of their time in the same way their parents did. Bernice’s personality is very similar to her mother’s, Mama Ola. She chooses to avoid conflicts over racism whenever possible, even if it means keeping quiet about subjects that should be addressed. She finds it easier to “ lay low” than to create a situation. Berniece views the history of the piano with the same disdain and sorrow that her mother held for so .....

.... food to a starving fellow human. Pip must steal food from his own family to help Magwitch, thereby transforming mercy and compassion into crimes. As Pip is running home, he looks back at the convict and sees him limping towards the gallows "...as if he were the pirate come to life, and come down, and going back up again" (27). This imagery conveys a complicated perception of guilt as something conscious of its own moral accountability, frightening and self-destructive. When Magwitch is caught, he gives a false confession to stealing the food from the Gargery's to protect Pip. Joe replies that he wouldn't want him to starve a .....

Huckleberry hoped that pap would think he was killed by a group of robbers that stole all his possessions. After usin .....

.... his native home - Geneva. And he wasn't exactly making friends at the university. This was the being of Frankenstein's creation, or he decided to make a human being. Who can not relate to this? Who wants to be lonely for their lifetime? Noone. He work for 2 years on making his creation. And when he was done - it was the being of his horrorable life. There was no lightening bolt that woke up the being. Frankenstein did not scream, "It's alive! It's alive!", and then do that madman's laugh, like in the movies.

.... herself off as being completely white. Her younger sister, Cheryl Raintree, is much darker than April and does not try the same “racial swap”. Cheryl is very proud of her culture. April Raintree gets embarrassed when her younger sister talks so proudly of being Metis. An example of this is when April is at an academy where she so very much wanted to fit in with the white people. She did not tell anyone she was half Metis, but she did tell everyone that her parents died. She told her little sister about how great the school was and then Cheryl wanted to go there to finish her education. April convinced her sister no .....

.... “batty” kid who is called odd the entire story. Until he thinks he sees the beast everyone ignored him and when this happens he’s running to tell all the boys that he had seen the beast and when they see him coming they mistake him for the beast and stab him repeatedly until he is dead.

The only people who work to get shelters from the rain are Ralph, Piggy, and Simon. Now Piggy did not stand a chance from the beg .....

.... story tells about a tidal pool with life called `Cannery Road'. This part of the story has to deal with figures of Christ. It mainly deals with Santiago as being a figure of Christ and other characters as props, that is, characters which carry out the form of biblical themes. On the day before he leaves when he wakes up, Manolin, his helper, comes to his aid with food and drink. Also a point that might be good is that he has had bad luck with his goal for a great period of time and is sure it will work this time. Later, though, when Santiago needs him for the quest he sets out to do, Manolin deserts him, although he may not have .....

.... ‘music' symbolizes ones own conscience in the real world. By the end of this relentless parable, the reader sees the irony in the fact that even a good person can be led astray by his feeling of inner responsibility to provide for his family (Warren 128). Kino's actions, which are being motivated to raise Coyotito, his son, in greatness leads to the death of Coyotito, which is Kino's greatest loss (McCarthy 108). Through these symbols which Kino represents, the reader can witness how many desires in life can lead to disaster. Coyotito is a product of Kino. This ties him into the story as one of the main characters even tho .....

.... it was uncle Andrew. He told Polly not to touch the rings, but it was to late. She disappeared into the air. Digory was confused. He wondered what the rings did. Did Polly just disappear or did she go to some distant land? Uncle Andrew explained how that one ring would take you to this land and that the other one would bring you back. Uncle Andrew was not sure that it worked yet because the only things that entered before were guinea pigs. Digory put two rings in each pocket with gloves(so he would not disappear). Two were for Polly and two for him. He put the disappear ring and felt funny as he went speedy to the new l .....
