.... to the city. Being in the country makes things better because there is tranquility, freedom and people can become uncivilized versus when they are in the city and have to follow customs and laws and behave rationally.

.... were doing this for themselves. Napoleon and his other pigs were the government and let their power get to them. They said that all the animals would work together yet in fact the pigs were just ordering them around. They worked the other animals relentlessly and with little food. They told all the animals what they should make and how long it would take. Also they said that the thinking they do is hard and they need the beds. The pigs were without a doubt the leaders of Animal Farm. They could do anything to you, they could make you live and could make you die. The socialist system is that the production and distribution of produc .....

.... from her birth, Hagar never knew the problems of racism and poverty as other people in her small, midwestern town knew and felt. Hagar's life was completely devoted to Milkman, her cousin and lover. "He is my home in this world." (pg. 137) Her happiness, Milkman, would ultimately be her depression as "Ecclesiasties" finally turned her success into failure, though Hagar exaggerated the loss and apparently was not aware of the Biblical promise that her life would eventually regain confidence and prosperity. After Milkman no longer loved her, Hagar suddenly became a different p erson, "into a bright blue place where the air was .....

.... without reason. Grendel also speaks of this evil monster, but in a more sympathetic and excusable manner. Grendel is thought of as “the guardian of sins” and is the physical equivalent to a man that has been shunned by God. He is described as a hideous bear like ogre in human like shape. Both literary pieces tell of his extraordinary strength and size and his similarities to the early ideas of Satan. The poet in Beowulf also mentions that despite his strength and magnitude, Grendel is not comparable to the devil despite his truly evil ideals. It is made clear that he has no other choice but to be this way, and th .....

.... only to come home to find that her husband sold his watch to buy her some hair combs. There are many similarities, though: the women in both stories need to get something and get it, only to end up with something worse than before. The plots of these stories are good to contrast and compare, because they have so many similarities, but at the same time they are so different. There aren't many similarities in the theme of these stories at all. They teach totally different lessons. For example: "the Necklace" teaches you to tell the truth about things when they're your responsibility, and don't try to cover them up. "The gift of .....

.... the family secrets. Knowledge for the players is one of construction and deconstruction of character. I will thus prove that, while Catherine Earnshaw gains knowledge toward perdition of mind and soul, Catherine Linton undergoes a deconstructive process necessary for the attainment of peace and happiness in life. Catherine Earnshaw's quest for knowledge does not start with her discovery of Thrushcross Grange, but with the discovery of Heathcliff himself. As a young girl, she is cloistered in a very secluded but happy family circle. The arrival of an exterior force, Heathcliff, starts the simple human process of discovery of the oth .....
