Animal Farm 7
... of people would find that a quite suitable representation. Politicians have always been reputable as dirty, dishonest, and simply undesirable individuals. Pigs are among the filthiest animals to roam the earth. Some would say the same about politicians. I, for one feel that this comparison is very
fitting.

Great Expectations 3
... to following any rules. The book's opening finds Huck living with the Widow Douglas and her sister, Miss Watson. Both women are fairly old and are really somewhat incapable of raising a rebellious boy like Huck Finn. Nevertheless, they attempt to make Huck into what they believe will be a better boy. Specifically, they attempt, as Huck says, to "sivilize" him. This process includes making Huck go to school, teaching him various religious facts, and making him act in a way that the women find socially acceptable. Huck, who has never had to follow many rules in his life, finds the demands the women place upon him con ...

Campaign
... era, lynching was thought to be a rational punishment since the law was out of order there was no other alternative. Most whites believed that blacks were brutes and that they should be destroyed. During slavery, lynching of slaves hardly existed because if they lynched their slaves they would be destroying their own property and it would be worthless. But, now that the slaves were free, they were no longer property and were worthless so why not get rid of them?
After much political and emotional interest in lynching, Ida B. Wells launched her anti-lynching in 1892 in which 241 people were lynched. Through ...

... there by early
settlers was much closer to being "ideal" than anywhere else on Earth. For
this reason, nature has become one of the most important subjects of

literature including the works Moby Dick, The Adventures of Huckleberry
Finn, Walden, and "To a Waterfowl" can show how American authors explore
the ideals of human existence through aesthetic representations of nature.

The Chrysalids
... that Joseph is not a very good father and is very strict: "I'll deal with this. The boy's is lying. Go to your room." (p.51) He is a cruel and inhumane person to anyone who has or is involved with a deviation.

(p.71) Joseph did not show any sympathy at all toward his own sister in law.
Aunt Harriet is the sister of David's mother Mrs. Strorm. She enters the story half way through the book, where she goes to Mrs. Strorm seeking help. ...

Jack Kerouac
... landscape as a field for spiritual cultivation. Kerouac was indeed a writer with spiritual preoccupations. He saw himself as partaking in a lifelong journey through the America that was waiting to reveal itself and, consequently, himself. Also, of course, considering himself a serious writer, he would chronicle this spiritual expedition throughout a series of novels that together would be called "The Duluoz Legend." This was the name Kerouac had intended the novels to take on when he would assemble them in chronological order before he died. Unfortunately he died earlier than he expected and was una ...

Response Paper On Faulkner's "A Rose For Emily"
... depressing and crazy. I mostly say this because who in their right mind would kill a man and keep him in a locked room? After her father had driven away lots of young men and then he died and then her sweetheart deserted her, she needed to be secure that no one else would leave and abandon her. So her motivation, I think, for killing Homer Barren (H.B.) was to keep him with her forever.
I saw some foreshadowing of death when she went to buy the arsenic. This hinted that somebody was going to die but we did not know who. I thought, just as the others thought,that she would kill herself but it ended up that she ki ...
