.... the information to his advantage. He tells Dounia that "[Raskolnikov] made a full confession to [Sonia]" (498). It devastates her to discover her brother is a murderer. From there Raskolnikov's mother "heard [Dounia] talking in her sleep" and "understands at least half of it already" (526). Both Sonia and Dounia urge Raskolnikov to confess. He goes for a long walk and decides he "[wants] to end it all" (526). After careful deliberation, however, Raskolnikov finally decides against suicide.

.... is depicted in the character of the speaker. Her "yes," as well as the group's, work together to create a great feeling of strength by compensating for individual weakness. This is reinforced in the second journal entry when she writes, "We know we have always been in danger down in our separateness and now up here together but till now we had not touched our strength." Danger has always been there for them; separate or together; but it wasn't until "now" that they truly found their safety in each other.

.... his own question, when he summoned the courage to save the dwarves from perils along the way, such as goblins, giant spiders, and elven dugeons. He did this all with the help of a Ring, enchanted to make the wearer invisible. "Bless my soul, a hobbit CAN be useful!" But usefulness in itself does not a task complete. There was still the fact that the dwarf's gold had not been claimed, and Smaug still lay in the heart of the mountain. The band of travelers had crossed much terrain, hills, mountains, swamps, and gloomy forests, including the dark Mirkwood itself. Within these settings, conflicts with the other races were allowe .....

.... not let education completely run your life in order to be called a “scholarship man.” That is something that Rodriguez has not been able to accomplish over the years that he has been in school.

Simply what mattered to me was they were not like my teacher’s”(573). So he be .....

.... is Paris. In Act 3, Scene 5, Lady Capulet announces that Juliet is to marry Paris. "The County Paris, at Saint Peter's church, Shall happily make thee there a joyful bride."

.... perhaps one of the most world renowned impressionist painters. Born in Paris in 1840, he entered the world just as technology began to change the ways of society. As a child Monet showed his interests in nature. He could barely keep his patience in school, and felt the presence of the nature and outdoors call to him from inside. He would sketch out caricatures of teachers, and relatives, and sell them from within the window of a local framing shop owned by a Eugene Boudin. When it came to his art work, Monet received no inspiration from his parents. Eventually when drafted in 1860, Monet was sent to North Africa where he experien .....

.... is to exemplify the two extremes of human nature, as well as show what position on that spectrum we humans should strive to achieve. The “positive” extreme Gulliver encounters on his arrival to the island is the Houyhnhnm, a horse ruled by reason. Gulliver almost immediately admires these creatures as well as everything about them, especially their speech: “…their language approaches nearest to the High Dutch or German, of any I know in Europe, but is much more graceful and significant” (Swift 189). He tries throughout his visit to become a Houyhnhnm by learning their language, among other things, d .....
