.... A wonderful book of morality, focusing on a few of Hemingway's universal themes--courage in the face of death, compassion for others, and respect for nature. I loved the Biblical references that were in the book--the cuts in the old man's left hand, the blood running down his face. is very rich with figurative language such as "flag of permanent defeat" (my favorite, first paragraph). My favorite character in the book was the first marlin that was mentioned--the male marlin accompanied by his female mate. The male always let the female feed first, and when a female was hooked by a fisherman, as she thrashed and fought to break .....

.... that the definition of power is "One person's ability to influence the behavior of another to achieve personal goals-cannot be observed directly, but must be inferred from behavior." This definition suggests that power is only used to manipulate one person's thoughts, actions, or anything in the relationship just to get what the dominator wants, and it can only be seen through their acts. The definition of power is true in relationships. Mike and Tiff had fights constantly throughout their relationship. Mike is that kind of guy that was macho to the outside world just so no one might see beyond his muscles. Mike would .....

.... involves the external conflicts; these often include elements such as antagonists, character foils, and other minor characters. The second involves the internal conflicts including self, morality, and justice. This internal type of conflict is the basis for Hamlet and the character's consequently tragic commission of a procrastinatic tragic hero. Together, both internal and external conflicts, if, when managed adequately, may be used as a measure for success in relation to overall effectiveness, as demonstrated in Hamlet. "Why, here are some eight violent deaths, not to speak of adultery, a ghost, a mad woman, and a fight .....

.... into a lot of details about how his house is raggedy, ugly, and trashy looking. No man traveling ever stops at their house. His wife hides things, is mean, and a loud-mouth. The story describes how Tom walked through the murky swamp and how he met “Old Scratch” unlike “The Devil and Daniel Webster” when all the story talks about is how his plow broke, how angry he was, and by being angry called the Devil. “The Devil and Tom Walker” has a much stronger development and really tries to place the reader in the story. The appearance of the Devil's are different as well. In “The Devil and Tom Walker” the Devil is ugl .....
