... human personality: the individual, the compromiser and the conformer. From the very beginning the reader senses that Sarah is very different for her times. She is quickly seen as the individualist who has taken a turn off the beaten path and decided it's much more to her liking. As well, Fowles appears to have written Sarah with a modern woman in mind; she is truly unsuited for 19th century living and she is shunned by her community because, as she says: "I have a freedom they cannot understand." (Fowles 142). She is an admitted non-conformist as is evident when she states: "I am a doubly dishonored woman. By ci ...

Napoleon is quite demanding none of the animal’s even question his authority because they know that he has more control than any other animal. Throughout the novel Orwell has many quotes that describe Napoleon as a leader, “ ‘long live Comrade Napoleon’ ” (846). All the animals on the farm (no matter what Napoleon did to them) would treat him as a powerful leader ...

... at odd times and at his own will makes Gandalf realistically human. Each dwarf also has his own unique points and personality. The setting of The Hobbit is also captivating. Tolkien's elaborate descriptions of all the places in the story are wonderful. Most scenes in The Hobbit are dark and mysterious, which I thought added to the grave mood of the story. The story of Bilbo's adventures is so dangerous that the many settings of the novel had to be gloomy enough to make up for the danger. There are many outstanding characteristics in this story. With so many excellent attributes in The Hobbit, I found it difficult to ...

... just by the way that he looked. They thought that he was perfect because he did not appear to have any problems and looked to be very happy. The last setting that was used was a calm summer night. This setting makes everything seem so peaceful, but in reality Richard Cory was killing himself. It is an ironic setting because we think just the opposite as we are reading the poem. The second way the author illustrates the theme is imagery. The fact that Richard Cory was viewed as quietly arrayed makes the reader think that he has no problems and that everyone wants to be like him. Also, the poem states that he ...

... is: “What is the meaning of Being?� Before delving straight into this question there is one important side note. Heidegger believes, as do many existentialists, that existence precedes essence. In this sense, humans exist before they are given any sort of purpose. More traditional philosophies understand essence to precede existence. For example, God created humans for some sort of end. In other words God had an underlying purpose in the creation of human existence. It is from Heidegger’s belief that existence precedes essence, which he finds the question of Being such an important question to come to t ...
