... 336 ). From the way that the narrator describes the black box, the black box does not symbolize good things. The box’s condition is in extremely bad shape, and this symbolizes that whatever the box is used for cannot be a positive idea. The reason that the box cannot be a positive idea is because the occasion that it was for was not a greatful event, most likely the people would try to get new props each year. Since the occasion is not a greatful occasion the people in charge do not care if the box is old and ripped up. When iteams are old and ragged people seem to look down on them. A second characteristic t ...

... and the men are indescribable out of the book itself. " The critic fills my complete expectations for what a review of this book should be. It is, in a sense, a blending of elements that make the book what it is.

When a young Heathcliff is brought into the Earnshaw family, he is instantly disliked ...

... off as a pessimistic unknown writer. One of his most popular works, Plague on Wheels was sold for twelve dollars for the pictures alone. Later people would pay only a dollar for it, but this time “for the words”. Trout is in awe about the way that people work. In Plague on Wheel he expresses the ideas and ways of humans and then refers to them as “ cuckoo”. He cannot understand why people do such ridiculous things such as, “[agree] with friends to express friendliness” and everyone else follows. He sees that people feel the need to conform for acceptance and this annoys him. In ...

... going to be there, that it can be taken away in an instant. He points out the different elements in life that might get hold of Beowulf, such as fire, war, and old age. Arrogance is another subject that Hrothgar touches. Arrogance can lead to falling into other temptations, such as greed or pride. If arrogance gets into a person, it will grow deep into his or her soul. As a person becomes arrogant and greedy, he relies upon worldly possessions. He metaphorically compares it to an archer shooting an arrow through a watchman, watching its poisoned shaft go through the watchman’s helmet, not being able t ...

... It's just that they must pretend to forget the dead; otherwise they would go mad. Remarque includes discussions among Paul's group, and Paul's own thoughts while he observes Russian prisoners of war (Chapters 3, 8, 9) to show that no ordinary people benefit from a war. No matter what side a man is on, he is killing other men just like himself, people with whom he might even be friends at another time. But Remarque doesn't just tell us war is horrible. He also shows us that war is terrible beyond anything we could imagine. All our senses are assaulted: we see newly dead soldiers and long-dead corpses ...

... grew up indoctrinated with Christian values, but soon experimented with the philosophical ideas put forth in his lifetime.
