.... of writing is also very interesting to read. I enjoyed the way she would use the word "he" when describing a character rather than stating who the character was. I was still able to identify the characters simply through their reactions and feelings. The only possible negative aspect to this novel would be the constant mood of depression. I realize that the topic is not happiness, however, it is easy to get absorbed in the sadness and become quite depressed. I would recommend this book to anyone who appreciates the complexity of one's thoughts and feelings. I would also recommend this book to anyone who understands one's need f .....

.... also had its classification system. In the book, Jem confused the Dewey Decimal System with John Dewey’s philosophy of education. This is clear when Scout says, “What Jem called the Dewey Decimal System was school wide by the end of my first year, so I had no chance to compare it to any other teaching technique, I could only look around me” (Lee 37). Dewey’s educational philosophy was the new way students were to be taught in the Maycomb schools. It stressed the hands on experiential method of teaching. Jem easily confused John Dewey’s new way of teaching with Melvil Dewey’s classification system because it was the .....

And lastly, they both are dominant types, but yet at the beginning of the novel they both acknowledge each other's authority and behave to each other in a friendly way.

.... a useful gift, and I don't mean in a few years, this time I want to get it right,” So Jim thought for two days straight. Finally he came up with an idea, “I'll make it into a wig, a girl can never have to many wigs.” So he went to the wig shop, which usually only made those white braided wigs that all the important men wore, but the wigmaker made an exception because Jim was a good friend and after all, it was for a girls birthday. The wigmaker asked, "Are you sure Della will like this present, I mean it is rather odd, and Della's hair has already grown twice as long as this. But don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be .....

.... the evil in people’s hearts. is a symbol of the things we make up to be the cause for evil, when those things aren’t the real reason. The fire is a symbol of hope and rescue. When the fire was burning bright, it was because the boys were working hard to get rescued. When the fire burnt out, it was because many boys, like Jack, didn’t care anymore about being rescued. In the end, the fire that got them rescued was not meant for rescue. It was there because Jack was burning down the island to kill Ralph. This shows us that we get things from luck instead of hard work. The objects in the story are used by characters that also .....

.... The Hindu caste system and various stereotypes also play an important role in Kipling’s story. For example, every person Kim encounters is immediately identified as either a member of a certain caste, religion, or race. Kipling depicts these stereotypes as they emerged out of colonial racial attitudes about Indian society. The descriptions of the Indian people Kim encounters depict each Indian as a very distinctive member of a certain caste. This is what makes Kim so unique as Kipling’s British protagonist. Kim has the ability to identify and associate with virtually every inhabitant of India. For this reason, Kim is very spec .....

.... Eyes,” as they are referred to in the book. What is left of the entire Apache Nation, his tribe, are forced to surrender to the White Eyes and are taken as prisoners of war to Florida by train. While stopped in Texas for two months, President Cleveland decided that the Apache men where to be separated from their families and held at Fort Pickens on Santa Rosa Island in Pensicola Bay. The women and children were sent to Fort Marion, Florida. This book is called Runs With Horses because that is the name of the boy it is about. I think this book could have had just a little more detail in it. The story is great. I would re .....

.... the only female characters. They both portray the stereotype of incipit debutantes who are instantly attracted to the handsome hero. The C.B.’s daughter is an inept character who gets dragged across the desert by her horse “Wildfire”, only to be saved by Rex O’ Herolan. In that particular scene, she attempts to seduce Rex by flirting and engaging in small talk about a blanket. Miss Tracy, the town prostitute, is even more direct than the C.B.’s daughter. She comes in her underwear trying to persuade Rex to sleep with her. Although this may seem like some characters in The Odyssey, Miss Tracy has .....
