.... cases just don’t care enough about their children to teach them the rights and wrongs of society. Alex seemed to find the love he didn’t get from his parents in his friends. Alex and his friends did a lot of damage to others, but of course they did it as a group. They beat up an old man who asked for change, they fought another group of people, they broke into a house and beat up the old man who lived there, then beat up his wife, killing her, but only after they raped her. As a group they were to be feared, but when two of them tried to stand up to Alex, who was the leader, things seemed amusing to me. Of the two who t .....

.... seemed the more he felt he needed to emulate him. He then began to talk of a Mr. Tom Buchannan. Tom was not to Carraway’s liking. He seemed harsh and too masculine to have any relation in Nick’s life. Nick is simple, innocent, and he is just starting out. From what he has told me about him, Tom seems to be a bigot of sorts, not to fond of Nick’s existence in this side of town at all. How does tom fit in to all this, I asked myself. Tom is Daisy’s husband; Daisy is Nick’s cousin. Kind of confusing, eh? Carraway started to finish up the session with a story of how he and Tom took a trip to Manhattan. On the way .....

.... analyze the people he comes across. He builds confidence and responsibility amidst his peers, does not become selfish, and begins to involve himself with the main characters in a positive way. He aspires to somewhat arrange the conflicts going on without showing his opinion to them and while keeping his honorable integrity. His thoughts and opinions are kept to himself, and this is effective because no character develops a hatred towards him at all, and the reader gets to know everything without someone in the story getting offended. Our narrator develops a more tolerant, mature, and human personality and becomes more comfortable .....

.... will not only destroy the person who someone wants revenge on, but also the seeker. Chilingsworth anger and need for revenge controlled everything about him. In the novel Hawthorne mentioned that, “Chilingsworth had been calm in temperament, kindly, and a upright man”. That is true until he allows his anger to take over him. He went from an intelligent and upright man to a person who was controlled by his anger, and used his intelligence to torture his victim. Torturing Dimmesdale gave pleasure to Chilingsworth. When Dimmesdale finally died, the only pleasure that Chilingsworth had left, died also. Hawthorne said th .....

.... Euripides might have referred to the vulgarity of the women’s thoughts and language: “It’s a sair thing, the dear knows, for a woman tae sleep alone wi’oot a prick – but we maun do it, for the sake of peace” The language of the women is, as mentioned earlier, strictly for the humor. For Euripides to make such a quote seems rather incorrect. It is to a certain extent the men who are the shameless beasts who beat their wives and fight senseless wars. Lysistrata, on the contrary shows women acting bravely and even aggressively against men who seem resolved on ruining the city- state by prol .....

.... each page. Someone is definitely coming. In opening the Gospels, that Someone comes forth in the fullness of his glory, and it is absolutely fascinating. We get a chance to see Christ as he is. Because what Christ was, is what he is, and what he will always be. We are given a view into the depth and fullness of his character and being and life. That is why the Gospels are so important to us. The word gospel means "good news." It was the message that Jesus forgives the sins of all who trust in Him. The Gospel of Matthew is the first book in the New Testament, and has been called the most important book that has eve .....

.... perience as to when truth should be suppressed in deference to the middle aged. On top of these, there were the broad and yet uncertain lines of her personal character-lines of less pathos, but more reality; lines of power. It can be said that Gwen assumes the worst and often becomes jealous in many episodes. Such as when Guenever discovered that Lancelot was the father of Elaine’s baby, she did not believe his explanation and became furious. She claims that Lance betrayed her, that she was the victim of Elaine’s cunning and that she’d never be able to trust Lancelot again. Perhaps in her heart she .....

.... Phoebe’s lighted presence against the dark gloomy house can be seen. The old Pyncheon-elm, which stands over the house, is a symbol of resurrection from the darkness and decay. In Chapter nineteen, “Alice’s Posies,” the Pyncheon elm is suddenly filled with the morning sun in fact, one branch of the elm has been “transmutated to bright gold.” The elm is particularly special at the end of the novel because it was left unharmed after the storm, the rest of the tree is “in perfect verdure,” a symbol of life not of death. The tree has come to symbolize nature and nature’s re .....

.... she needed fast money and didn't want to work an office job (Terkel 294). She feels that she learns a lot about people in her line of work, and enjoys talking to her customers. She invents ways to keep her job interesting, and likes to converse with her customers about a great number of topics. Dante says that giving service and being servile are two different things (Terkel 294). Delores Dante takes pride in her work, and aims to please all of her customers. She says that she does certain things to make her customers' experience more enjoyable, like emptying ashtrays, so that her station looks nice, not in order to increase her .....

.... descriptions of different characters as filtered. Nick has a different perception of each character and therefor it is important to stress the different views on the different characters. The descriptions by Nick of the others are based on how they present themselves to public, or in this case, Nick. Another factor that speaks for Nick being the narrator of this novel is the way Nick stands to each different relationship of the novel. Nick is mainly an outsider, who has no real connection to either of the other characters. This is what relates Nick to the reader. The reader immediately feels comfortable in Nick's company. He, just .....
