... and listened to them. That is what made her a good narrator because she always knew how everyone felt. She lived At Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange all her life, and experienced the first and second generation, therefore she knew exactly what went on. If Heathcliff was the narrator, you wouldn't know how Isabella or Edgar felt; due to their lack of communication or friendship. Although Heathcliff's opinion are valuable; Nelly's knowledge is more valuable because she got along with and talked to everybody.

... mouths were to be shut unless otherwise asked to speak. It is not surprising that the girls would find this type of lifestyle very constricting.

As one of them falls sick, rumors start to fly that there is witchcraft going on in the woods, and that the sick girl is bewitched. Once the girls talk to each other, they become more and more frightened of being acc ...

... to be in great need of care and love, both of which I wished I could provide him. The imagery in the fourth and fifth paragraphs struck me as bright, beautiful and very innocent, thus causing me to wish that all the boys could live in such a wonderful environment. My reaction to the final stanza was a sense of distress; the boys had nothing to hope for, but were forced to perform a task which would eventually kill them.

I was ...

... but she does not share the same emotions for him. He carries these things to remind him of her, of his feelings for her. At the end of every day he ritually unwraps them and reads them. These letters are light in weight, only ten ounces, but prove to be a heavy burden. Above all, he carries the responsibility for the lives of his men. He is dreaming when Lavender is shot, and so he blames himself for it. Lavender's death was something which "He would have to carry like a stone in his stomach for the rest of the war."

... Enloe goes into detail about ethnic differences leading to conflict. She also goes on to discuss the inferiority of ethnic groups leading to military servitude in order to advance their social or class status. One thing that she points out is that groups have also been stereotyped into being “prone to soldiering�. These people have been labeled as “Martial races.� An interesting point that she makes about Martial races is that they have traditionally been set on the regional peripheries of a state. This makes it seem as though the only reason for their being allowed to remain part of the state is ...

"It seems now I failed." The force that eventually unites these contradictory Stephens is his overwhelming desir ...
