... fetched, but actually fairly accurate. In the plot Orwell shows many examples of the government being kind of like a gang. Orwell shows that if you are part of the system that you can not get out. If people try to get around the system they will get punished they will get hurt or killed. People get into gangs not really knowing what they are getting into until the have entered. Many times after a while they realize the gangs beliefs and do not obey by them. The party controlled Oceania people's life in such ways as a gang sometimes does. “Our control over matter is absolute (pg. 218).� The plot shows ...

... Letter to prove that Dimmesdale did not die from atropine. The main point of Dr. Kahn’s article is to prove that Chillingwrorth wanted to kill Dimmesdale through the use of atropine poisoning, but there are many parts in the novel that suggest Chillingworth wanted to keep Dimmesdale alive to suffer through his own guilt. Evidence exists very early in the novel that deems Dr. Kahn’s theory untrue. During Chillingworth and Hester’s talk about who had wronged whom. Chillingworth says “…I shall contrive aught against his life…”(Hawthorne 70). Speaking of Dimmesdale, Chill ...

... was to watch over Sir Launcelot while he slept, but unfortunately was captured by Sir Tarquine, another knight. In the process of being captured is when Morgan Le Fay casted her spells. Since Sir Launcelot was in such a deep sleep he was unfazed by all the commotion which was taking place.

This story has also been handed down through many generations. Though there are many parts in the book that stray away from the legend, this is a novel that lets the reader use h ...

... that plays an important role in the shaping of the individual. I believe Dickens displays each character's personal strength and integrity by revealing how much they allow themselves to be changed by their surroundings. Dickens conveys this shaping of the individual through the main character, Pip, and the different worlds he lives in, the experiences and interaction with other characters he has. Additionally, other characters are shown to have been shaped by their past experiences and the people involved in their lives. Both Miss Havisham and Estella are prime examples of the impact one's environment can have ...

... Some people after awhile give in to this guilt and confess what they did. In The Scarlet Letter, Hester Prynne and Arthur Dimmesdale commit a great sin. Because of this great sin, it causes them immense guilt and sadness though out the rest of the book. One of the main character's that is affected the most is Arthur Dimmesdale. Dimmesdale handles it in a different way though, to him its more of a "concealed sin." A example of this is, "It may be that they are kept silent by the very constitution of their nature. Or - can we not suppose it - guilty as they may be, retaining, nevertheless, a zeal for God ...

... be a few days away. This gives Don John, Claudio’s bastard brother, a chance to show his true hatred for Claudio. He comes up with a scheme to make Claudio think that Hero is cheating by dressing Margaret in her clothing and perching her near the window with another man. When Claudio sees this, he says that he will humiliate Hero instead of marrying her. The next day Claudio does exactly as he had said, degrading Hero in front of all her family and friends. Because she did not cheat on him, she did not expect that kind of reaction. She is so dejected that she faints, and everyone assumes she is dead. Eventually ...

... told thee what I am! A fiend! Who made me so?” “It was myself” cried Hester, shuddering.). That revenge is what made him try to prevent Dimmesdale from confessing in the last scaffold scene. The scarlet letter had hurt Hester every day and every moment a lot, so Chillingworth let it do the avenge work alone without interfering (Hester: “Why hast thou not avenged thyself on me?” “I have left thee to the scarlet letter”replied Roger Chillingworth.). But for Dimmesdale he had a whole different plan. He came back to town as a different person with a different name. Now he was Rog ...

... in the movie and book are taken straight from Mclean’s life. From the hard working, soft centered, minister father, to the drunken, “down on his luck�, brother-in-law, Neil. The character of Paul appears the be the most true to life member of Norman’s family. The audience quickly becomes familiar with Paul and his quick-tempered, always ready for anything attitude. This is evident in the beginning of the story with Paul’s frequent phrase “...with a bet on the to make things interesting (Mclean 6).� “It was almost funny and sometimes not so funny to see a boy always wanting to bet on himself an ...

... avoids a crude internalist/externalist dichotomy, and develops a more subtle approach which recognizes the place of new ideas within science, as well as the background of the scientists. Nonetheless, it was an external event, the emergence of Nazi Germany, which mobilized a politically active minority to challenge the intellectual foundations of scientific racism. The book is divided into three sections --Anthropology, Biology and Politics. In each section, Ballen compares developments in Britain and in the United States, for the case against racism developed quite differently in the two scientific communities. On bo ...
