... possesses, it can be assumed that the workplace for her will be unpleasant. The second issue in the book deals with sex. Sex throughout the centuries has revolved around the theme of appearance.

Suffering In Crime And Punishment
... us of the murder at any time in the novel again? Not in the physical sense of the crime itself. The reader doesn’t hear about how heavily the murders are weighing on his heart, or how he is tormented by visions of the crime. He doesn’t feel the least bit guilty about having committed the crime, only his pride’s hurt. He doesn’t mention the idea of the pain that might arise from recurrent visions of the crime. Raskolnikov never again recalls the massive amounts of blood everywhere, the look on Lizaveta’s face when he brings down the axe on her head. These things clearly show that the crime isn’t what mig ...

Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee
... tribe, battle, or historical event. Brown goes into deep and explicit detail throughout, as evidenced by the book’s nearly 500 pages. Some critics may say that is boring and text-book like. Although the format is set up like a text-book it makes it easier to find specific battles and examples of the atrocities that the American Indians endured.
Brown has made sure to include songs, quotes, and portraits throughout the entire book. Unlike books with strictly text, these features concretely show and describe the Indians situation. The songs give a feeling of the Indians culture. The quotes stand off the ...

Animal Farm
... Despite the fact that Orwell wrote his book to parallel Soviet communism, his intention was not only to produce a satire on Russia, but to also teach humanity a lesson about human nature. Power should never be in the hands of one singular person or group of persons. Notwithstanding anyone’s good intentions when they take over the reins of society and are prepared to govern it; if power is unchecked, the one person who has absolute power will eventually be corrupted absolutely, and according to Locke, the purpose of the government will have been defeated. Locke believed that if a government is oppressive ...

Antigone
... himself. His attitude toward the king is one of yielding and fulfilling
reverence. Creon's notion of justice in OK stems directly from the divine. That which the gods
have decreed must become law. It pains Creon to have Oedipus exiled, but he must do so as
the gods have willed it. Creon's respect for divinity and prophecy seems to be his defining trait
in OK. His attitude is one of unquestioning reverence.
In Oedipus at Colonus (OC), one sees the beginning of Creon's decline. Creon has now
come to occupy the throne that once belonged to Oedipus. It soon becomes apparent that his
vision of the proper role of a king h ...

... were young. In Pip’s case, he was an orphan because his father also died when Pip was young. Dickens did, however, feel like an orphan because his father was in prison. This forced Dickens to work at a young age, which meant he did not have much of a social life (67). This factor is also true in Pip’s case because he was Joe’s apprentice. Pip’s situation as an orphan was a little bit more complex than Dickens. Pip’s caretaker becomes delirious and then dies. I think that these events show a sense of independence in both of them. They started to take care of themselves when they were teenagers. That gave ...

Response To Civil Disobedience
... themselves freely however they please. In addition, he clearly states and points out that in many instances it is best when individual rights take priority over state authority.
Very often, the best authors, whether it be of a novel or an essay, clearly state their opinions and facts using various literary techniques and devices. From reading other Thoreau works, such as excerpts from Walden and Excursions, I was able to infer that he has his own unique, unmatched writing style. Most ordinary and banal writers start their essays with long, tedious descriptions of the point they are trying to convey. But like al ...
