.... of flood. "The flood has ripped away a wedge of concrete; the water hurls in an arch; It smashed under the bridge; It hurtles down … it lurches round the bend, filling the valley, flattening, mashing, pushed, wider and faster, till it fills my brain" (315). Dillard switches from the past tense to the present tense to show that she has become involved in the excitement of the flood. At first she says, "All it did was rain. It rained, and the creek started to rise (314). Then when she becomes excited she switches to the present tense. "Everything looks different; The water is over the bridge; Everything imaginable is zippi .....

.... begin in a duel in which Don Giovanni slays the old man. Upon seeing her dead father, Donna Anna and her fiancé, Don Ottavio vows death as the only revenge. The next morning Leporello and Giovanni run into a celebration a young couple that is going to be married. The couple, Masetto and Zerlina, along with their friends are invited to Don Giovanni’s house for a celebration. However, Giovanni has the intentions of celebrating alone with Zerlina, who falls for his woes only until Elivra interrupts Giovanni’s game and denounces him taking Elvira away. After realizing that Giovanni is infact her father’s killer, Do .....

.... they portray to the reader through their writing. Pope has written an eighteenth-century poem which he calls, "An Hero- Comical Poem." This poem has exalted an over all sense of worthlessness for common rules. The mentioning of Achilles and the ever-popular Aeneas, are symbols of Pope's Gothic style. Pope speaks (almost) G-D like throughout, "The Rape of Lock." Contrary to Keats, who is more down-to-earth with his sense of realism in his writings. In the beginning of Keats romantic premise to life in St. Agnes, all is cold. The opening sequence brings a sense of realism to this bitter cold scene. Cold owls, rabbit's, and n .....

.... you at your threshold down” (Housman l. 7), and causes the grief to reach a higher level. Most people desire to live to a ripe old age and they would be aghast to have a premature death viewed through a positive light. Yet a “positive funeral” is exactly the driving force behind A.E. Housman’s “To an Athlete Dying Young.” The poem states outright that it is better to die in the glory of youth than to rest too long on one’s laurels, only to see those laurels wither “From fields where glory does not stay and early though the laurel grows, it withers quicker than the rose” (ll .....

.... and "club" only one denotes violence. The dictionary defines gang as, "A group of persons working together; a group of persons having informal and usual close social relations." The definition of a club reads as follows, "An association of persons for some common object usually jointly supported and meeting periodically." Hidden beneath each definition, lies a more subjective, personal definition lodged in each of our minds. Why must society negatively characterize gangs and positively characterize clubs? We now associate the word "gang" with group of juvenile delinquents who create disturbances with violence and misconduct .....

.... for, he is searching for evil. He goes to the forest to do his deed and "he had taken a dreary road darkened by all the gloomiest trees of the forest" to get there(611). Goodman Brown is willingly seeking the devil, and Hawthorne is throwing in all the stereotypes. This entire search for the devil is portrayed as being very ugly. What then is pretty? In Young Goodman Brown beauty equals inherent goodness, or Faith. Young Goodman Brown separates from this righteousness, for evil. From the beginning, he was leaving, at least for the time being, Faith behind. "And Faith, as the wife was aptly named, thrust her own pretty head into .....

.... like Fanny, in fact they would probably distrust her more because she was perfect. At the beginning of the movie Audrey Rouget is introduced, obviously meant to be a version of Fanny Price. She is shy, slight, and the appears to be younger than the rest of the group. Like Fanny, she really hasn't "come out" yet. At first, she is enamored with Tom Townsend, then hates him for leaving her looking stupid when he was supposed to be her escort. The viewer has a hard time with this because they have only known each other for a week or so, and that makes Audrey's feelings seem trivial. With the benefit of a whole summer of the stor .....

.... of a conflict between various images of the isolated, individualistic, egotistical and private forms of 'economic man' (Bakhtin's term) and the collectivity of the workfolk. The many images of festivity - the washout of Henchards' official celebration of a national event, Farfrae's 'opposition randy', the fete carillonnee which Casterbridge mounts to receive the Royal Personage, the public dinner presided over by Henchard where the town worthies drank and ate 'searching for titbits, and sniffing and grunting over their plates like sows nuzzling for acorns', the scenes of revelry in the Three Mariners and Peter's Finger - culmin .....

.... the poor and sick. "The letter was the symbol of her calling. Such helpfulness was found in her -- so much power to do and power to sympathize -- that many people refused to interpret the scarlet 'A' by its original signification"(Hawthorne 141). At this point, the townspeople no longer think Hester as the Adulteress, "Do you see that woman with the embroidered badge? It is our Hester- the town's own Hester- who is so kind to the poor, so helpful to the sick, so comforting to the afflicted"(Hawthorne 142)! The townspeople soon begin to believe that the badge serves to ward off evil, and Hester grows to be quite loved amongst th .....

.... gave him the fruit and he ate. He did not take sole responsibility for eating the fruit but made sure to point out that it was the woman's idea to eat it. Even the punishments given out to the three violators illuminate the guiltiest of sinners. God punishes Adam by making him have to work for all his food and punishes the serpent by causing conflict between him and man. But the punishment of woman seems to be the most severe. To Eve, He condemns painful, hard child births and leaves her to be ruled by her husband, (Genesis 3:16). The solemn harshness of Eve's punishment suggests that even God is most displeased with the wo .....
