.... was slowly approaching our car. In a matter of seconds, the limousine was in our car. We were pushed to the middle of the road and the car made a half turn. The windows blew up and pieces of glass landed on our faces. The driver’s door was smashed and he flew on top of me, as I hit my head on the door. Blood began dripping from my forehead and his face. All the while I was in shock and couldn’t stop screaming and crying. He tried to calm me down but he too was in shock. It seemed like eternity had passed before the limousine driver came up to the window. We had to move our car since it was blocking traffic. Fortunat .....

.... of them. “I was kind of chunky and wore glasses too, …” (292). She struggles with her fear of becoming the next Celia. "For I knew, deep in my wretched heart, that were it not for Celia I was next in line for humiliation" (292). Her position within the group is unidentified. She just walks home with the rest of the group. After one incident Elizabeth realizes that her place in the group is not secure enough. She was reminded of her previous status. “Suckybabies can’t have sweets either. Di-a--beet-ics and Suck-y-ba-bies can’t eat chocolate” (293). The kids put her in the same group as Cel .....

.... had sought out and verified that this lie was true: . . .I talked to my grandmother and she, puzzled, told me that Edna had never worked in any office, had in fact been apprenticed to a dry-cleaning firm that did tailoring and mending. Steedman later on sought additional opportunities to reveal her mother's evasion of the truth. From the top of page 650: . . .Now I can feel the deliberate vagueness in her accounts of those years: "When did you meet daddy?"-"Oh, at a dance, at home." There were no photographs. Who came to London first? I wish now that I'd asked that question. And so Steedman goes on and on trying t .....

.... it had mended John and Owen’s friendship and helped ease some of the pain of that situation. The statue of Mary Magdalene sat in front of a concrete arch. “She was like a goalie protecting her goal,” John had noted. Owen had sawn off her arms when he was expelled from Gravesend Academy. This might also symbolize Owen’s helplessness, not being able to change what had happened. When the statue is returned John notes that she is unable to protect her goal. Almost helpless to stop what will happen without her protection. Again armlessness and helplessness reoccur in a different instance in which Owen i .....

.... “proudest, most disagreeable man in the world, and everybody hoped that he would never come their again.” This is the same type of attitude and pride that possesses Mr. Darcy for the remainder of the time that he spends at Netherfield. On the other hand, Mr. Darcy acts with a certain sense of “perfect civility”, friendliness, and attentiveness when he is at Pemberley, his home. He seems more relaxed and acts without the feeling of improper pride that he had previously possessed. For instance, Darcy invites Mr. Gardiner, “with the greatest civility”, to fish at Pemberley “as o .....

.... a small moral thing by going behind is back to do it, and forging her father’s signature, but she knew that was the only way she would ever be able to do it. Torvald was not able to cope the idea what she had done for him. She really worked to save him, but he just wasn’t able to see that. So she left him. Everything Nora did, she did it out of the love and caring. She is actually a very intelligent woman he does not deserve to be treated the way she was. It’s a shame that Nora was put through the sexist beliefs, by supposedly the superior “the man”. .....

.... respect, her act is that of love for her children. The selfishness of Sethe's act lies in her refusal to accept personal responsibility for her baby's death. Sethe's motivation is dichotomous in that she displays her love by mercifully sparing her daughter from a horrific life, yet Sethe refuses to acknowledge that her show of mercy is also murder. Throughout , Sethe's character consistently displays the duplistic nature of her actions. Not long after Sethe's reunion with Paul D. she describes her reaction to School Teacher's arrival: "Oh, no. I wasn't going back there[Sweet Home]. I went to jail instead"(Morrison 42). Sethe's wo .....

.... like the rest of the clan he follows these customs that seem immoral and unjust to other cultures. In another part of the story, Okonkwo is banished from his fatherland. This incident is the first where he is punished greatly for his actions. It marks a turning point in Okonkwo’s downfall, and therefore the downfall of the traditional culture that he stands for. His hopes and aspirations are almost forgotten while he is away from Umuofia, and he desperately tries to regain his status when he returns. During this period of time, Okonkwo also discovers that his son has converted to his enemy’s ways and beliefs. H .....

.... simple request, "the master (at the orphanage) aimed a blow at Oliver's head with the ladle; pinioned him in his arms; and shrieked aloud for the beadle."3 The whole beginning of Oliver Twist's story was created from memories which related to Charles Dickens' childhood in a blacking factory ( which was overshadowed by the Marshalsea Prison ).4 While working in the blacking factory, Dickens suffered tremendous humiliation. This humiliation is greatly expressed through Oliver's adventures at the orphanage before he is sent away. Throughout his lifetime, Dickens appeared to have acquired a fondness for "the bleak, the sordid, and th .....

.... his view towards the poor in this odd manor. Swift sees how the poor are treated by the affluent who may think that the impoverished are the reason for Ireland’s food problems. In fact, the entire essay is nothing more than sarcastic piece that deeply imbeds the blame upon the rich who he feels might have just as much or even more blame on Ireland’s food problems than the poor ever have. Swift intelligently uses his common sense logic in a strange way to convey his feelings about this predicament. Swift goes to great lengths to intelligently show these feelings. The ways at which Swift camouflages his ideas and thoughts t .....
