The Intentional Death Of Francis Macomber
... lead the reader to devise an acceptable motive, yet human nature
tells the reader that this killing could not have been intentional. From a
purely objective analysis of the story, the reader would see far more
evidence supporting the theory of an intentional killing rather than an
accidental one.
The clues supporting the idea that Margaret killed Francis intentionally
can best be seen when observing and studying the background information on
both Francis Macomber, and Margaret herself. (Hemingway 1402). What is also
important is that Margot and Francis have very different personalities.
This is clearly seen w ...

... disgusting
piece of trash out of her mouth immediately before she caught some germs. I
told Scout to spit it out immediately. She was actually pretty obedient and
spit the gum out. She told me that she had been chewing it all afternoon and
that if she wasn't dead and didn't feel sick. She was obviously mad at me for
ruining her chewing enjoyment but I didn't want her getting sick because knowing
Atticus, I'd be the one who would have to take care of her and that wouldn't go
over to well with me since I know I could have stopped her from getting sick. I
think I yelled at her and said that isn't she supposed to ...

Hester Prynne Sanction
... to answer the Chancellor's question. How can people throw a corporation
in jail, or have them compensate for their immeasurable losses? In his work The
Hester Prynne Sanction, Peter French analyses ways in which the courts can
change how they punish corporations more effectively. This essay will take a
critical look at French's solution, examining if it is an effective and morally
justified fashion of punishing corporations.
In our society, retributive ideals have been implanted in us, as the
famous biblical “eye for an eye” concept seems to be society's manner with which
we punish criminals. This is an i ...

Angelas Ashes Summary
... does nurture in Frank an appetite for the one thing he can
provide: a story. Frank lives for his father's tales of Cuchulain, who saved
Ireland, and of the Angel on the Seventh Step, who brings his mother babies.
Perhaps it is story that accounts for Frank's survival. Wearing rags for
diapers, begging a pig's head for Christmas dinner and gathering coal from the
roadside to light a fire, Frank endures poverty, near-starvation and the casual
cruelty of relatives and neighbors--yet lives to tell his tale with eloquence,
exuberance and remarkable forgiveness.
Angela's Ashes is colored on every page with Frank M ...

... same way he does. But he is there because the "white" recruiter
told him that he could fly planes, and make America proud. He remembers the
clash of his path between what the white man wanted and his path. Tayo
became so entranced with the idea that the Japanese were like him that he
started to put people he knew at home's faces on the Japanese soldiers.
Tayo could not see the reason for killing the Japanese, and then when the
soldier killed Rocky, it made his path split like a silk string to a
spider's web, it went out in all directions. His mind snapped at that exact
moment and went into "shell-shock".

Despite Ngugui's flashback format A Grain of Wheat is certainly an attention keeper. Kenya at the brink of Uhuru (freedom) from the British, as experienced through the eyes of some interesting and greatly entertaining characters. Amazingly in the midst of this historical event the story is filled with love and betrayal. This is a tragic situation, where there can be no winners. It does not have heroes, heroes do not exist in tragedies- rather it has real people with real feelings ...

The Adventures Of Huckleberry
... Prejudice can be observed throughout the novel by the way the
other characters treat Huck. Twain portrays Huck as a average boy of his
time, being mischievous, adventurous and funny. The society Huck lives
in labels him "uncivilized" because he has an abusive, drunk father.
"... by and by pap got too handy with his hick'ry and I couldn't stand
it. I was all over with welts." Here the reader can observe the
ultimate failure of an uncivilized person. Pap is an alcoholic, a dead
beat and a racist. Nevertheless, society also considered Huck
