Billy Budd 3
... qualities previously stated but what the movie does not mention is what his life was like and what the other officers thought of him. The novella states that Captain Vere loves books. He especially loves those that have stories and details about the treatment of man. His own officers say that he acts "like the King's yarn in a coil of Navy rope." I believe that quote says that he is a puppet of the King. All of these aspects of Captain Vere seem to make him a "robot" of the King. The King says and the robot obeys. When Billy kills Claggert, Captain Vere has to decide whether or not Billy should be punished and i ...

Wordsworth also implies in lines 105-110 of the mind not only receiving sensations from the outside world, but it also half-creates them. In Wordsworth, a sensation is formed by imagining his childhood in a series of stages in the development with nature. The sensation is based on nature but is also shaped by the poet’s mind. The thought revolves around the serenity that nature has brought to his life.

The Grapes Of Wrath: Ma Joad - The Leader
... about Tom's secret. The
family becomes nervous and enraged over the situation, but Ma restores
order by handling the situation in a calm and collected manner. If Ma were
to ever show fear, the family would most likely collapse. For, "Old Tom
and the children could not know hurt or fear unless she acknowledged hurt
or fear." Thus, if Ma acts as if everything is all right, then the family
will assume everything is all right. Most members of the family openly
express their doubts or fears. Ma may be just as frightened as the rest of
the family, but she always maintains a front for the rest of the family.

Great Gatsby 3
... When we read any work of fiction, no matter how realistic or fabulous, as readers, we undergo a "suspension of disbelief". The fictional world creates a new set of boundaries, making possible or credible events and reactions that might not commonly occur in the "real world", but which have a logic or a plausibility to them in that fictional world.
In order for this to be convincing, we trust the narrator. We take on his perspective, if not totally, then substantially. He becomes our eyes and ears in this world and we have to see him as reliable if we are to proceed with the story's development.

To Kill A Mockingbird: A Classic
... and invalidated facts can destroy anyone's reputation. Racism is mentioned throughout the second part of the novel. It is the prime and most mentioned part of this section of the novel. This message is displayed on many levels so even the lowest level reader can visibly ask oneself why this is occurring. The easiest way to observe this may be the town's actions toward Tom Robinson, the "negro" on trial. The townspeople, for the most part, dismissed the entire trial on the basis on that it does not matter what Atticus can do, Mr. Robinson is automatically guilty. This message can also be seen in a severely symbolic ...

Northanger Abbey: Reader's Response To Heroine
... We see Jane Austen's 'anti-heroine' grow up , fall in love, and, through various strong betrayals of her unquestioning trust, learn to view human nature from a more realistic point of view. Throughout this maturing process Jane Austen's reader is invited to feel every emotion with Catherine, while maintaining a certain detachment which allows us to recognise Catherine's foibles and touching innocence.
Many of the mistakes that Margaret Oliphant talks about in her description of Catherine in the title above come from Catherine's extreme innocence. Jane Austen's heroine arrives in Bath as a young debutante and, entir ...
