... of the Georgia boy. The boy let him stay. The boy told Imnam the story of Stobrod and Pangle being captured and killed. Ada and Ruby slept until Stobrod began coughing Stobrod had blood all over himself, from his neck to his collar. Ada and Ruby took care of him. Inman was afraid to fall apart at a bad time. Then he realized there is never a good time to fall apart. He thought of Ada. He thought that maybe she could save him from his troubles and redeem him from the past four years in the war. He was trying not to listen to the voices in his head, but he couldn't avoid them. They told him that it was po ...

... Racism is mentioned throughout the second part of the novel. It is the prime and most mentioned part of this section of the novel. , even though it was a classic, was the only book that Harper Lee ever published, though she was said to have written many other unpublished books. That we may never find out. It was a great accomplishment that Harper Lee only wrote one book and won the Pulitzer Prize. There are many themes and symbols in this book. Scouts father, Atticus, tells Scout and Jem, “I’d rather you shoot at tin cans in the back yard, but I know you’ll go after birds. Shoot all the blu ...

... surviving intergenerational conflict and other perils and living happily ever after, while the hidden messages are about subservience, degradation, and the idea that physical beauty is the most important aspect of women. Kolbenschlag and Yolen both agree that Cinderella was subservient and accepted the unjust and extra work that her siblings and (step)mother required of her (Kolbenschlag 525). Like a housemaid, she took everything they could give her and never complained. Snow White mirrored this behavior when she was rescued by the seven dwarfs. They told her to cook, clean, do odds and ends around the house, a ...

... live. For example, she states, "The cabin's plank walls were supplemented with sheets of corrugated iron, its general shape suggested it's original design: square, with four tiny rooms opening onto a shotgun hall, the cabin rested uneasily upon four irregular lumps of limestone. Its windows were merely open spaces in the walls, which in the summer were covered with greasy strips of cheese cloth to keep out the varmints that feasted on Maycomb's refuse." This description paints a very vivid picture of the cabin and also tells a little bit about the Ewells themselves. From this we can infer that the Ewells took v ...

... moral agents. “The little boat, lifted by each towering sea and splashed viciously by the crests, made progress that in the absence of seaweed was not apparent to those in her.� The characters had no control over their boat, rather nature was totally in control. “She seemed just a wee thing wallowing, miraculously top up, at the mercy of the five oceans. Occasionally a great spread of water, like white flames, swarmed into her.� (pg.145) There is also a sense that man is totally not important to the natural forces controlling his fate. “When it occurs to man that nature does not regard him as important, an ...

... his writing can be read literally, but also romantic if you read his work more in depth. One symbol that Hemmingway seems to use constantly is night and the fear of darkness. Fredrick is afraid of the dark. What this seems to mean is that Fredrick is afraid to be in the unknown. This is the idea that males want to know what is around them. Fredrick is afraid of what he does not understand. This symbol is also seen in “A Way You’ll Never Be� where Hemmingway’s character Nick will not sleep without a light. When a person sleeps they are resting and it seems that Fredrick does not want to rest without “kn ...

... piece. From the beginning, we see that Hester Prynne is a young and beautiful woman who has brought a child into the world with an unknown father. She is punished by Puritan society by wearing the scarlet letter A on the bosom of her dress and standing on the scaffold for three hours. Her hair is a glossy brown and her eyes deep-set, and black, her attire is rich, carefully caressing her slender figure. The scaffold is a painful task to bear; the townspeople gathered around to gossip and stare at Hester and her newborn child, whom she suitably named Pearl, named because of her extreme value to her mother. In th ...

... it be called advertising, television, consumerism, and the gods of efficiency, materialism, and self interests, all these things seem much more at ease with one another and a lot easier to come by. Huxley’s idea is to make his new world not overtly oppressive, but superficially attractive, because it is clean, comfortable, and without conflict or stress. However, it is a world without emotion, feelings, and problems. All these things are needed in order to make a person their own. Lack of Individuality Huxley describes a futuristic society that has an alarming effect of dehumanization. This occurs through ...

... waiting for parts to repair it. His interest in Kurtz grows during this period. The manager and his favorite, the brick maker, seem to fear Kurtz as a threat to their position. Kurtz is rumored to be ill, making the delays all the more costly. Marlow eventually gets the parts he needs to repair his ship, and he and the manager set out with a few agents (whom Marlow calls pilgrims because of their strange habit of carrying long, wooden staves wherever they go) and a crew of cannibals on a long, difficult voyage up the river. They come across a hut with firewood stacked and a note saying it is for them but to appro ...

... meanings in new ways. Death is the theme which encompasses and underlies Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness and James Joyce’s “The Dead� using opposite elements; moreover, from the surrounding death, both main characters, Marlow and Gabriel, go through a symbolic rebirth. Before it is proven how Marlow and Gabriel have symbolic rebirths, it first must be shown how death exemplifies itself within the works, as it does through three main elements: the motif, the setting and the characters. While it is obvious that James Joyce’s title for the his work, “The Dead� refers to the death the story portrays, Jos ...
