... Declaration of Rights) while other compositions deal with impending and contemporary Federal predicaments (Federal Grants to Universities, The Practice and Theory of Federalism, Separatist Counter-Revolutionaries). Throughout all these documented personal accounts and critiques, the reader learns that Trudeau is a sharp critic of contemporary Quebec nationalism and that his prime political conviction (or thesis) is sporadically reflected in each essay: Federalism is the only possible system of government that breeds and sustains equality in a multicultural country such as Canada. Trudeau is fervent and stal ...

... Arms by Ernest Hemingway. People today are unable to participate, in their own lives, the experiences of World War 1, but the setting of the war in the novel, A Farewell to Arms, allows the reader to partake in the experiences of the war. In the beginning of the novel, the description of the troops passing sets the mood for a book that does not glamorize war. Hemingway uses imagery such as “the troops were muddy and wet in their capes� to permit the reader to comprehend what World War 1 was like and expand their understanding of how the world was during times of war. Hemingway ends the first chapter with an un ...

And with this doubt his whole statement fell to pieces and I wondered if there wasn’t something a little sinister about him after all.� (69) Part of Nick wants to believe in Gatsby and the other part ridicules him.

... more time on her art. She goes to races and parties all the time. All of this doesn't seem to help her maintain happiness all the time. There were days when she was very happy without knowing why. She was happy to be alive and breathing, when her whole being seemed to be one with the sunlight, the color, the odors, the luxuriant warmth of some perfect Southern day. There were days when she was unhappy, she did not know why, when it did not seem worth while to be glad or sorry, to be dead or alive; when life appeared to her like a grotesque Pandemonium and humanity like worms struggling blindly toward inevit ...

... general opinion that men are selfish contains an underlying truth to the human nature. Inside every human being, there is a sense of selfishness that lay dormant until given cause to awake. It is a truth that many will not be willing to admit or acknowledge. Many will even say that there are people who are or were selfless in their actions. Yes, there are, but when the situation comes, normally no one can take away their selfishness to still act like “saints” when they cannot even save themselves. Selfishness is an ugly trait among people; however, disloyalty is probably the most offens ...

... was writing. Hawthorne created some of the most skeptical and politically uncommitted characters in pre-civil war history. Reynolds went on to say, His [Hawthorne's] career illustrates the success of an especially responsive author in gathering together disparate female types and recombining them artistically so that they become crucial elements of the rhetorical and artistic construct of his fiction (Reynolds 179). Hawthorne used ironies of fallen women and female criminals to achieve the perfect combination of different types of heroines. His heroines are equipped to expel wrongs against their sex bringing ab ...

... What causes Henry to run in the intensity of war? Henry's lack of confidence ignites the feeling that he might run. The veteran soldiers tell stories to the rookies about the horrible sights they witnessed while fighting. They portray visions of blood, fire, and smoke. Henry begins to wonder how he might react to this situation: "He had to mathematically prove to himself that he would not run from a battle" (Crane 16). Henry faces doubts and has to make a conscious effort to believe he will not run. In addition, as Henry's regiment moves closer to the actual battlefields, soldiers running from the battle render info ...

... your evil side. I had now two characters as well as two appearances, one was wholly evil, and the other was still the old Henry Jekyll, that incongruous compound of whose reformation and improvement I had already learned to despair. (Stevenson 45) Now would Mr. Hyde look like his counter part in anyway or would he be made up of pure evil, like mini-me in the movie Austin Power The Spy Who Shagged Me. Edward Hyde was just that pure evil. Mr. Hyde was pale and dwarfish; he gave an impression of deformity without any namable malformation, he had a displeasing smile, he had borne himself to the lawyer with sort of murd ...

... assume that Fowles came up with both endings at roughly the same time, and each of them seemed as valid an ending as the other to him. Traditionally, it would have been up to him to chose one ending and make it final. However it seems he was not able, or did not want to chose just one of the endings to the novel. It would seem that Fowles is trying to be fair to all of the characters by including the various endings which satisfy all of them. Fowles comments that the job of a novelist is "to put two conflicting wants in the ring and describe the fight", which is essentially what he has done. However it is hard to ...
