.... for there dream why can't I. It showed me that it does not matter were you come from or what you do, it is okay to dream and work as hard as you can to reach it. For all it shows for friendship and loyalty it also shows how sometimes you have to do things you never thought you would do. For example in the end when George is forced to shoot Lennie in the head you would never have thought he would do that, but you can see that under the circumstances he had no other choice. He only had two choices let the other people get to him first and watch them torture Lennie while he died a long horrible death .....

.... from humble beginnings, but clearly, he is very eager to become a successful and powerful man. "...his bony cheeks were criss-crossed with scratches as he shaved twice daily in his attempt to encourage a beard." This clearly indicates to the readers that Duddy wants and tries to be someone that he is not. He wants himself and others to think that he is of great significance. The fact that his friends, family and others reject him make his self-projected image even more preponderant. He must convince himself and others that he is a very important figure and he does this by denying his insecurities. Duddy is not a very well-liked fig .....

.... only two roles she has: a poet and a woman defending a child from misery and starvation. I assume she is not a really good poet, she never gets published and gets very little money but that is not the point. She says that she writes for herself, if she stops, she will die. This is very true. The two main themes of the novel seem to be loneliness and misery. Several times in the diary Anna says that she writes it for her daughter, the one who later sent the notes to Petrushevskaya. But it seems to me that what she has written represents the dialogues that remained unpronounced, because no one ever wished to listen to her or .....

.... this. Only someone of pure evil would hate it when people are nice to them. Because of this, Push tried to make people hate John, thinking that everything would go back to being normal again. This did not work, and everyone still liked John, and everyone was being even nicer to Push. This infuriated him. It made him so mad that he wanted to start a fight with John. Push did go to fight John, and threw a punch. John threw a punch back and knocked Push down. After this, John did a very noble thing by asking for Push's friendship. Push of course did not accept by saying, "I will not be reconciled, or halve .....

.... on women and (unconsciously) African natives and strong views on colonialism and to a lesser extent racism arise. Marlow quickly expresses his view on colonialism that "The conquest of the world which mostly means the taking it away from those who have a different complexion or slightly flatter noses than ourselves, is not a pretty thing when you look into it too much." When Marlow arrives at the station he is shocked and disgusted by the sight of wasted human life and ruined supplies . The manager's senseless cruelty and foolishness overwhelm him with anger and disgust. Also through dramatic scenes such as the ‘Grove of .....

.... Buchanan represent those who were born rich and live wealthy; they do not embody the American Dream because they did not have to work to achieve this success. Gatsby symbolizes the corruption of the American Dream because he was striving to be just like those who had money just so that he could buy happiness.

Daisy married Tom because of his money, which means that money can buy love in Gatsby’s world. So Gatsby sets the goal in his life to amass enough money so that he can  .....

.... him with warmth and comfort. In the same way, was my source of warmth and comfort. He was always there for me in little ways. The days when Dad forgot me at volleyball practice he was there to take me home. He was there to take me shopping when I desperately needed a new outfit. He did not like to shop, but he went for me. Small things such as these gave me comfort. I knew would always be there to help me if I was in a jam. This stability I felt was one of the most comforting thing in my life. My thoughts travel deeper into the subject I am contemplating and I realize there is yet another similarity between my gran .....

.... entirety, including both opposing sides. Parker uses many statistics and facts to get his point across without hesitation or restriction as is well illustrated by his second paragraph starting off, “In recent years, few murderers have been executed. In 1957, when 65 executions took place, the nation witnessed 8, 060 murders. In 1981, when 1 execution occurred, there were 22,520 murders.” This type of reference, which Parker uses quite frequently throughout his paper, directly reinforces the idea that Parker is trying to convey to his readers which is just one reason why his essay is so effective. In contrast, there is a .....

.... not so much afraid of killing the king, but hurting his mother, mentally, emotionally, after the death of her King and her abrupt marriage to Claudius. Was Hamlet afraid, that maybe the ghost of his father wasn’t really his father’s ghost at all, in that it was a trick of the devil? Hamlet’s over analysis is what turns out to be the reason for so many deaths, including his own. His procrastination kills not only himself, but also his mother, his girlfriend, and others, but it also leaves the reader full of doubt. Of course the average reader is aware that Hamlet will kill the new king, but was it necessary to .....
