Death Of A Salesman
... and especially towards the end, of the play.
It is obvious right the way through ‘’ that Willy Loman’s life is bad, and that it is getting worse, despite Willy’s dreams and aspirations. His first major problem is with his job. From the very first scene we see that all is not well. Willy has returned from a work trip the same day as setting out for it, and it is made obvious that this is not the first occurrence of an incident of this type. Thus the audience is aware that Willy has problems with his job, and it is not long before they find out that Willy having trouble getting to work is the ...

... and other vampires by
the possession of a crucifix or practically any consecrated item from the
Christian religion can be used to save you from the attack or presence of a

to prevent Dracula to enter his coffin. Another time, during the night Van
Helsing and Lucy stay out near the courtyard of Castle Dracula, Van Helsing

deterrence of vampires is at the time Van Helsing and the other men are

Great Expectations: Self Conflict
... down a path toward
propriety and business, a road to London. Her rejection of him damages his
pride and esteem so much as to make him want to change his entire life and
character to meet her approval. At this point, he rejects the love that
those like Joe and Biddy offer, and feels he will not see himself as worthy,
unless he meets the approval of the cold and haughty miss Estella. This
powers him to accept an offer to become a gentleman, and to be taught in
London, where he starts to stray ever-farther from those who truly love him.
As Pip begins his progression toward being a gentleman, he is
faced with a wor ...

Hatchet
... left. Brian knows
that he must learn how to live in this strange new environment quickly. He
has to make many painful changes and ends up a completely new person with a
new outlook on life.
Hatchet is written in an interesting way. The author, Gary Paulsen has
written “Hatchet” in two styles. First person and 3rd person. He will often
start a paragraph with one word. This word sums up what Brian is thinking.
For example: Starving.
Then he will go on about what Brian is thinking as Brian in a more detailed
manner.
The other way he writes is in 3rd person. He will describe what Brian is
thinking, and/or doing. ...

Flowers For Algernon 2
... character, except
for the frequent reminders of how he used to be, in the form of
flashbacks to his childhood and other emotionally blocked parts of his
mind. He gets a new awareness of himself and others. He also makes the
realization that some people he had put on a pedestal are not as good as
they seem. He also starts to think about romance.

Charlie’s night school teacher and then a romantic interest and then a
teacher again. She liked the old Charlie, but when he starts becoming
smart she finds it harder and harder to keep up ...

The Catcher In The Rye: A Classic
... thinks about himself and what he thinks about others in the book. Salinger is able to express Holden's opinions about a lot of people in the story using this style of writing. Salinger also shows that Holden does not like people who act fake and try to show off. For example, when Holden and Sally went to the show he said, "At the end of the first act we went out with all the other jerks for a cigarette. What a deal that was. You never saw so many phonies in all your life, everybody smoking their ears off and talking about the play so that everybody could hear how sharp they were." (126) This shows how Holden didn ...

Crime And Punishment In Wuther
... very existence a grievous crime, particularly because Mr. Earnshaw’s love and affection were displaced towards Heathcliff instead of himself. Far later in the novel, this terrible attitude backfires upon Hindley, who is misused and cheated out of ownership of Wuthering Heights by Heathcliff. This crime parallels another: Heathcliff’s abhorrent abuse of both Hindley in his weakened state and Hindley’s son Hareton, who is made the stablehand instead of the rightful owner of the Heights. Heathcliff also trespassed when he imprisoned Catherine upon her visits to his son Linton. He coerced ...

The Great Gatsby: Jay Gatsby Is A Pathetic Character
... is
a pose."(Aldridge 36) The fact is, Daisy has almost all of the things that
a woman could want out of a marriage. She is very wealthy, she has a
beautiful daughter, and her relationship with her husband is of a
comfortable nature. It is true that her life is not very exciting, but it
is unreasonable to think that she would trade all that she had in her
marriage to Tom Buchanan for Jay Gatsby. At that time, divorce was very
uncommon, and it was very unlikely that any woman would leave her husband
for any reason at all.
Everything that Gatsby ever did in his whole life was based upon
his pursuit of the drea ...

But the stable buck don’t give a damn about that,’ " says Candy, p.32. Crooks also isn’t allowed in the bunk houses because people say he stinks. Crooks talks with Lennie in the book, "Crooks laughed again. ‘A guy can talk to you an’ be sure you won’t go blabbin’." p.78. This most likely makes Crooks feel not wanted at all, Which roots to loneliness.
Lennie is not so much stereotyped, but rather trapped because of his size. Because Lennie is so ...
