.... at me with sun, sand, water, a little pavilion, a few solitary people in fixed attitudes, and around it all a border of dark rounded oak trees, like that engraved thunderclouds surrounding illustrations in the bible"(Welty,75). Welty's long sentence structure and word usage allows the reader to feel as though he or she were the one sitting on the beach. This description helps the reader to be involved in the story. He or she could feel as though he or she were a part of the story instead of someone only looking in. As the story progresses, the main character, a young girl incorporates her crush on a young boy with the sight .....

.... a sort of "weakling" and struggled to not get sick most of the time. His father was a shopkeeper and a professional cricketer, and his mother served from time to time as a housekeeper at the nearby estate of Uppark. His father's business failed and the family never made it to middle-class status, so Wells was apprenticed like his brothers to a draper, spending the years between 1880 and 1883 inWindsor and Southsea as a drapeist. In 1883 Wells became a teacher/pupil at Midhurst Grammar Scool. He obtained a scholarship to the Normal School of Science in London and studied there biology under T.H. Huxley. However, his interest falt .....

.... in not only the Scarlet Letter, but also in The Minister's Black Veil. One might even say that Hawthorne's ancestry (Hathorne) is what he might consider his own "Pearl", and this is why he changed his name. Like Miller's the Crucible, The Scarlet Letter takes place in Puritan Salem and has a tragic hero, but these are the only similarities between the two great works. In Miller's play, the tragic hero is John Proctor, a man whose pride causes the demise of many women, tried as witches. Had Proctor chosen to reveal his sin of lechery with Abigail Williams before the problem got out of hand, he would've saved .....

.... is facing. Likewise, in Isben's play A Doll House Helmer believes that his wife Nora only focuses on trivial matters. Three weeks prior to Christmas Nora spent every evening working alone. Helmer believes that Nora is making the family Christmas ornaments and other treats for the Christmas holidays. In reality, Nora is working for money to repay a loan that she illegally acquired when Helmer was ill. The house cat is blamed for destroying the nonexisting ornaments. Helmer reminds her of the long hours spent away from the family. Helmer says, "It was the dullest three weeks I ever spent" (Isben 1.73). While Helmer .....

.... China, the United States has many colleges, and many of them don’t have any hard college entrance examination. If the students have a good Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) score or a good Grade Point Average (GPA), usually they can get into some good colleges, such as Berkley University, Stanford University, and Harvard University. If they have a low GPA or SAT, they still can get into some community college, such as City College of San Francisco or Skyline College. What they need to do is take a placement test. After they get in to these community colleges, they still can transfer to some four-year colleges when the .....

.... many years and his wife takes a lover, Aegisthus. She is disloyal toward Agamemnon and when he returns back home he is expecting his wife to still be loyal to him and that he will still be King. However, since he returns home blindly and openly, his wife and Aegisthus kill him. Orestes, Agamemnon’s son is told that he must seek revenge for his father and he kills Aegisthus. This foreshadows what may happen to Odysseus because Odysseus has been away from Ithaca for many years because of the war and then because of his banishment to sea by Poseidon.

.... are hoping to find freedom in knowing that their lives are less empty and without direction. It may seem that we can hardly relate the televangelist audience of the 20th Century to poetic views on Christianity of the 18th Century, but surprisingly, there lies many similarities between the two.. Both Anne Bradstreet and Phyllis Wheatley appeal to Christianity after their own personal tragedies. These women, like the many viewers who watch Church-TV everyday, have lost everything and are left with nothing. In an attempt to fill the void in their lives, left by Bradstreet’s burnt house and Wheatley’s treatment as a s .....

.... the religion and state and individual and society have impacted the past and are still concerns that are with us today. While Plato is writing to prove Socrates a good or respectable person, he allows the modern reader a glimpse into Athenian culture. We see that religion is held in very high regard and failing to serve a religion is punishable by death, no matter what one’s social or political stature. In “Euthyphro,” the reader learns that sometimes an Interpreter is consulted when dealing with certain criminal behavior. Also, we realize that the Athenians regard a son accusing a father of a crime, no matter what t .....

.... half-brother, and then rescued by a friend of his deceased father. Jack Dawkins was also another colorful character’s name who fit pretty well with his traits. Jack was also known as the ‘Artful Dodger’. The way this character acts and the way he talks gives all the right to call him ‘artful’. The way he mocks the justice system while in a court of law and survives does make him a ‘dodger’ of the law. What one can also find interesting in the story is how environment can influence the thought pattern of a person. In this book Dickinson portrays how poverty can decreases ones healt .....
