.... him. That is not a situation where insults are likely to bring results. This point is compounded because Elizabeth only gets slightly insulted by this comment. Her initial refusal of Darcy was based almost totally on his actions towards Jane and Bingley's relationship, and his treatment of Mr. Wickham. However, she is barely perturbed by this comment of Darcy regarding her family. This is so strange because one would expect Elizabeth to at least be equally mad for personal insults as well as for what was done to others. Pride and Prejudice ends with Elizabeth and Darcy each overco .....

.... by this excerpt you can see that she has covered up her hair with a "man's hat" and has thrown an apron over her dress in attempts to cover up her femininity. This apron also takes on a similar role as a man's tool belt as he works the land. Other phrases used by Steinbeck further the above points. He mentions that her face was "handsome," her work with the scissors was "over-powerful," and her fingers "destroyed such pests." She hints to the reader that she would like to take on more masculine responsibilities after her husband Henry says that he wishes she'd work out in the orchard and "raise some apples t .....

.... death situation and so the person had to make that decision. Like it mentions in the issue " I made a mistake, two in fact, a blood transfusion and I trusted people I'm different now, I don't make mistakes anymore. after all, life's too short. Isn't it? ". The society had a major influence on the way that people live and act, and the society in this poem had a major effect on this person. The person believes that he or she is outcast of their modern society. Like it says is in the text " Now I am in debt to our society for being allowed to stay on and pretendI still belong ". This issue relates to the aspect in the no .....

.... of exploiting these small boys. Most of this symbolism appears to be about death. This gives the poem a dark mood. For example, Blake writes “So your chimneys I sweep, and in soot I sleep” (554). Most of the boys who were sold into chimney sweeping died very young because the soot inhalation destroyed their lungs. In this quote sleeping in soot symbolizes dying in soot, or from the soot. Blake also symbolizes these boys’ fate with the lines “That thousands of sweepers Dick, Joe, Ned, and Jack/ Were all of them locked up in coffins of black” (554). In this quote the “coffins of black” symb .....

.... a husband that loved her and was willing to do anything to please her. Even if it meant giving up something he had been saving up for, a shotgun, just so she could feel like Cinderella for one night and get a dress that suited her needs. She was unable to stop at a dress though: she needed to have jewelry. It could't be just any jewelry either, it had to be a diamond necklace. Mathilde was a success at the party, she was noticed and sought by all. She found happiness in vanity until she arrived at home and discovered the necklace was gone. Unable to find it when they retraced their steps, they were forced to replace the jewels i .....

.... immediately choosing to, “express our darker purpose” (I, i, 35). There is no mention of any of the three daughters’ childhood. In contrast, Smiley makes a point of adding description to her novel. She constantly describes the three girls’ childhood, their ancestors, and other memories from the past. In the beginning of the novel, Ginny elaborates upon her great-grandparents and, “when they came the first time to Zebulon County, in the spring of 1890, and saw that half the land they had already bought was under two feet of water” (Smiley 14). Ginny also remembers when she used to take care of Caroline, � .....

.... capable of fullfilling his needs, like a man could. Then something happened where Reggie grew on him, he got more used too her, and he found himself telling her personal things, spending tons of time with her, and starting to care for her. She was like the mother figure he never had. Mark and Reggie were in the tangle of mess together. Mark realized through the whole ordeal he could not do everything by himself, he also realized how vulnerable he was by being independent. Mark and Reggie became bestest friends, right up to the point where he would have to leave into the witness protection program. I liked the way Mark was so rowd .....

.... by adults. The period in which this is written, assumes that one must become old before one has an opinion. I feel that "children should be seen and not heard," could be relevant to modern day society if it were changed to "people who are ignorant to the situation at hand should be see and not heard". If a person of any age is not well informed of a situation which they take a strong stand on, their opinions are just as irrelevant as those of small children who are equally uninformed. .....

.... journey and our own journey through life. Some of the texts that will be compared with , are the Bible, and Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The characters of these stories are all have that burning desire to be successful in life, which we can relate to. These texts span across different time periods and societies illustrating how human nature, particularly the desire to obtain more than one possesses, plays a significant role throughout written and present human history. It is in human nature to want to be recognized and receive what one think he or she may deserve. In the Bible, one of many themes is the qu .....

.... than just stress and a slight nervous condition. Even when a summer in the country and weeks of bed-rest don't help, her husband refuses to accept that she may have a real problem. Throughout the story there are examples of the dominant - submissive relationship. She is virtually imprisoned in her bedroom, supposedly to allow her to rest and recover her health. She is forbidden to work, "So I . . . am absolutely forbidden to "work" until I am well again." (Gilman 193). She is not even supposed to write: "There comes John, and I must put this away -- he hates to have me write a word." (Gilman 194). She has no say in the location .....
