Odysseus struggles with extremely menacing foe such as a giant cyclops, Polyphemus, who eats Odysseus' men like bite-size candy and a six headed beast, able to devour men whole. Homer allows the imagination of the reader to come up with the details like the color and size of the creatures and what the surroundings look like.

Hester Prynne
Number of words: 1266 | Number of pages: 5.... at Hester and
her newborn child, whom she suitably named Pearl, named because of her
extreme value to her mother. In the disorder of faces in the crowd, young
Hester Prynne sees the face of a man she once was fiercely familiar with,
whom we later learn is her true husband, Roger Chillingworth. Her
subjection to the crowd of Puritan onlookers is excruciating to bear, and
Hester holds the child to her heart, a symbolic comparison between the
child and the scarlet letter, implying that they are truly both
intertwined.
Prynne is imprisoned with her child, both of whom are emotionally and
physically exhausted from the punishment .....

Orwell's "Such, Such Were The Joys....": Alienation And Other Such Joys
Number of words: 1659 | Number of pages: 7.... least it
was a place ruled by love rather than by fear, where you did not have to be
perpetually taken out of this warm nest and flung into a world of force and
fraud and secrecy, like a goldfish into a tank full of pike. (23)
Young Orwell, impacted by this, “hard,” disorienting situation, realizes he
is alone in a hostile, harsh environment. Orwell uses the image of the “
warm nest,” a womb, from which the child is thrown, then innocently forced
into a destructive reality. This reality is Crossgates, an educational
institution but also a primary residence, the “home” Orwell lives in on a
daily basis for a number of .....

Just as he is about to surrender himself to the joys of his first smoke of the day, his tranquillity is shattered by earsplitting distress signals from the squalling infant who has been abandoned on the garbage heap, plaintively demanding to be heard by someone, anyone.
Taking one glance at that miserable child, streetwise Charlie instinctively looks up as if to quiz both the refuse-throwing householders and the heavens above as to just exactly where this baby has come from. But before he can even begin to explore that question, a rapid-fire series of comic interactions with a neighborhood cop firmly establishes Char .....

replacement. The original color of the coat c .....

As I Lay Dying
Number of words: 660 | Number of pages: 3.... to Jefferson.
Is Anse sincere in wanting to fulfill his promise to Addie, or is he driven by
another motive? Anse plays "to perfection the role of the grief-stricken
widower" (Bleikasten 84) while secretly thinking only of getting another wife
and false teeth in Jefferson. When it becomes necessary to drive the wagon
across the river, he proves himself to be undeniably lazy as he makes Cash,
Jewel, and Darl drive the wagon across while he walks over the bridge, a
spectator.
Anse is also stubborn; he could have borrowed a team of mules from Mr. Armstid,
but he insists that Addie would not have wanted it that way. In truth though .....

The following presents an example of Holden's inability to grasp the differences between reality and allusion. "Somebody written 'Fuck You' on the wall. It drove me damn dear crazy. I thought how Phoebe and all the other kids would see it, and then how they'd wonder what the hell it mean, and finally some dirty kid would tell them- all cockeyed, so I rubbed it out."(Salinger,201) Presented here, an another example on how Holden once again attempts to accomplish the impossible, save children from the words and inst .....
