At the very end of the novel you'll find Lucie caught in a third triangle--the struggle between Miss Pross and Madame Defarge. Miss Pross, fighting for Lucie, is fighting above all for love. Her triumph over Madame Defarge i .....

.... with the thought once Nelson has had the opportunity in experiencing the city he will “be content to stay at home for the rest of his life” (251). His only comforting thoughts, as he lay to sleep before the day of the trip, were not of turning Nelson into a racist, but “thinking how the boy would at last find out that he was not as smart as he thought he was.” Degradation towards anyone, including his own grandson, is another way by which Mr.Head can feel minutely satisfied with himself. He welcomes and anticipates the point in which Nelson questions his own intelligence. Towards the beginning of the .....

.... agrees with him, even if she knows he’s wrong, she will get what she wants, a loving husband, a nice home, nice clothes, food and a warm bed to sleep in. In a way she manipulates him into thinking he has won when really they are both equal. Kate’s independence is overwhelming for the sixteenth century. Shakespeare had a very wild imagination, he creates a woman who would be respected today but is so extroverted that in it’s day and age it was almost unbelievable. To contradict you’re father or husband was unimaginable. Kate not only talks back to her father but to everyone. She deserved a dose of her own medicine but Petruc .....

.... imagery she uses. "The Fish" leaves you moved and warmhearted toward the fish as well as toward life. "Shapes like full-blown roses...speckled with barnacles, fine rosettes of lime,..." is how Elizabeth Bishop describes the fish's skin. She is able to portray the fish's skin so elegantly that what you might have feared before is what leaves you "calmly beautiful." "I saw that from his lower lip...hung five old pieces of fish-line...with all their five big hooks grown firmly in his mouth...Like medals...a five-haired beard of wisdom trailing from his aching jaw." Elizabeth Bishop is able to depict the fish's victories in a way tha .....

.... like the poet is writing directly to the reader. Making it a more 'in touch' and personal poem to subjects that we can relate to. In this case. Having a respect for your Father or your heritage. The poems opening line, in a simple, complete one line statement, conveys the impression of the poet talking to us directly and also sets a 'snapshot' of time for the reader: "Between my finger and my thumb/The squat pen rests; snug as a gun" This opening line focuses our attention to the fact that this is set in present time. It is as if the opening lines in the first stanza is creating the beginning of his memories being told by t .....

.... and glorious God." Jonathan was also a puritan from the early America, however, he was a preacher. Like Anne Bradstreet, he did not believe in material things. In his sermon entitle Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, he states "now they see that those things on which they depended for peace and safety were nothing but thin air and empty shadows." This statement agrees with what Bradstreet believed in, that nothing (possessions) is important on Earth. If a person has depended on those things for all your life and then they are suddenly taken away from you, you will not know what to do. However, unlike Bradstreet, he .....

.... The dramatic techniques Shakespeare uses to construct his female characters are the setting, the character's dialogue, including asides, and what other people say about them, especially behind their backs. Lady Macbeth and Lady Macduff are two very different characters, and there is plenty of binary opposition between them. The weird sisters, on the other hand, are 'things to be afraid of'. These characters give the audience an indication of how women were represented in Macbeth. Lady Macbeth is Macbeth's wife. There are many minor references to her beauty throughout the play. Outwardly, she conforms to the social expectations, .....

.... his house) and explains that having a shelter that is practical yet functional is an essential step to simplifying one's life, which in turn is an essential step in the process of becoming deified and enlightened. In more detail Thoreau mentions, " [that] the necessaries of life for man in this climate may, accurately enough be distributed under the several heads of FOOD, SHELTER, CLOTHING, and FUEL" (Walden, 13). Food, one of the several heads mentioned in the statement above is also a necessity of life which "keeps up the internal combustion in the lungs; fuel" (Walden, 13). Thoreau recognized the pattern in which society .....

.... One day Finny, the best athlete in the school, came up with the crazy idea to jump out of a tree into a river. All of the seventeen-year olds had accomplished this task because it was a mandatory test for the war. Phineas, naturally was the first sixteen-year old to conquer this feat; so Gene was the second. None of the other boys ever tried the jump. After a while the two made it an almost day-to-day activity. The two boys were a lot alike, but Gene had this underlying resentment of Finny and he felt that Finny was deliberately trying to make him do badly in school because he was constantly dragging Gene along with him to g .....
