... of imagination, she remembers her
old home in England, her mother, her father, and most of all, her own youthful
face. Then, she thinks of the marital life with her husband, a "tuft of green
moss on a crumbling wall". The "green moss" symbolizes Hester's youth, which

Machiavelli's "The Prince": By Any Means Necessary
... his thesis with commentary that attempts to place
the reader in a subordinate state-of-mind. He confesses to the reader that he
fears sounding presumptuous for writing about a subject covered many times
before by others and differing from their opinion in the matter. This statement
places the author at the mercy of the reader and prepares them to hear an idea
that may not be popular. Having been asked forgiveness for the pride of the
author, the reader drops barriers that he may have against arguments driven by
ego and opens his mind to Machiavelli on a personal, sincere level. By placing
himself at the feet of ...

Gatsby Essay
... that Gatsby was missing for so long he was the missing link in the chain of events that would proceed . Some could call what he did , getting Gatsby and Daisy together an act of a man who was a Hero or just an act of kindness towards another human being . I trend to see Nick as being a hero in some ways because of the way he thought but not really in the way he acted he wasn’t overly strong or courageous like the typical stereotype we have a hero to look like . Nick was more of a modern day hero in his own right .
Gatsby on the other hand although not a hero in the sense of a physically strong man who saves ...

Tavris' In Groups We Shrink
... we tend to think singularly instead of groups of many
single individuals. This could be due to the fact that people are afraid of
ridicule. So afraid that nobody is willing to do the morally correct thing.
As in The Lottery, we see that people are reluctant to act out against
the remainder of the group. Why did the town's people just stand by and take
part in the senseless stoning of Mrs. Hutchinson? Why didn't anyone intervene?
Nobody was willing to be an individual and step up to take responsibility and
put an end to the senseless lottery.
Another good example of the reluctance to act against the ...

The Thief's Journal: The Prince Of Thieves - Genet
... and enjoyment of the senses cannot only be accomplished in
polite society, but in the slums and alleys in which Genet roamed as well.
Genet's life as a petty thief, prostitute, and prisoner is so
foreign to most people and it is therefore fitting that his entire
perspective and way of life is alien as well. For example, he sees
intimacy in the sharing of lice between himself and Salvador.
Salvador took care of me, but at night, by candlelight, I
hunted for lice in the seams of his trousers. The lice
inhabited us. They imparted to our clothes an animation, a
presence which, when they had g ...
