... the change of normal to not normal traits more visible. Looking at his normal side, Holden is rebellious against the world, and despises the fakeness of it. Mainly he hates people. He thinks that rich people are crooks, and that the more expensive the school is that he's attending, the more crooks there are. He says when he goes to visit Mr. Spencer that he's not too crazy about sick people. He doesn't like how Catholics stick together and he doesn't like intellectuals. He hates the phoniness of people and says, "it drives me crazy. It makes me so depressed I go crazy. He calls the athletes bastards, and just ...

... we passed some friends who waved to us. To impress them, he made a right turn at forty miles an hour in a twenty-five mile zone. We continued our journey in silence for about five minuets until a sudden event turned our lives around. As we pulled up to a stop sign, he looked both ways before turning left on to the main street. Without a worry in his head he pressed on the gas pedal and began a left turn. Unfortunately the darkness of the evening prevented him from seeing a huge limousine which was slowly approaching our car. In a matter of seconds, the limousine was in our car. We were pushed to the middle of t ...

... would be over by Christmas but instead it finished much later on and millions of soldiers got killed. The mood in "The Send Off" is totally different because the soldiers were already afraid. They knew how dangerous the war was because of what so many people had experienced since "Joining The Colours" was written in 1914. There was no celebration for them because most of the people knew what was going to happen. The structure and the style of each poem varies in different ways. "Joining The Colours" is more positive. The structure of this poem is simple. Even though there are some words which convey an image that wa ...

... by the Nazis. Although we have a general idea of the kind of life people led in the concentration camps, people never really stop to think about what it must have felt like not knowing what was going on or what was going to happen next. Throughout the book, Wiesel talks about people not realizing what happened. He shows the reaction of the townspeople when they first heard of Hitler and German troops. I did not realize how much effect the book had on me until I noticed how much life has changed for Wiesel and the rest of the Jews and how unexpected this change was. The book shows the progression of an innoce ...

... he says, "---it was this liberation we had torn from the gray encroachments of 1943, the escape we had concocted, this afternoon of momentary, illusory, special and separate peace" (Knowles, 832). As he watches the snowball fight, Gene thinks to himself, "There they all were now, the cream of the school, the lights and leaders of the senior class, with their high IQs and expensive shoes, as Brinker had said, pasting each other with snowballs"(843). Another of the principal themes in this novel is the theme of maturity. The two rivers that are part of the Devon School property symbolize how Gene and Finny grow ...

... core. After spending nine years, since birth, in a deplorable workhouse, 's troubles multiply when, painfully hungry, he asks for "more." As a punishment for calling attention to his empty belly, Oliver is apprenticed to an undertaker, where he is treated so cruelly that he makes his way to far off London, instead of returning to his workhouse. Not knowing where to go, he is "rescued" by the Artful Dodger, who tells him "I knows a respectable old gentleman as lives there wot'll give you lodging for nothink." (51).

... audience might find the fact that a young engineer is judging the people a bit strange. However, the change results in a lot more dialogue and interaction between the narrator and the people in the town. This is different from the detachment the narrator has which is prevalent in the novel. The movie adequately captures the bleak and dreary mood in the novel. The camera shows the Frome household in the middle of nowhere, with no houses nearby, in the middle of winter. This, with the addition of appropriate music, creates a bleak atmosphere, and there is no doubt in the audience’s mind of an impending sense of ...

... be enough tickets, whether you will get seats together, and whether many people will sneak into the line ahead of you. Once you have made it to the box office and gotten your tickets, you are confronted with the problem of the theater itself. If you go to one of the run-down older theaters, you must adjust to the musty smell of seldom-cleaned carpets. Escaped springs lurk in the faded plush or cracked leather seats, and half the seats you sit in seem loose or tilted so that you sit at a strange angle. The newer twin or quad theaters offer their own problems. Sitting in an area only one-quarter the size of a regular ...

... we are hopeful, or angry, or loving, or sad, then it will help us see these as universal experiences that proclaim us human…� It is through the context of the relationship Dawe had with Gloria, and this quote that transformed my understanding of his poem “Apology for Impatience�. Transforming from that of a poem about a relationship, to a poem intended as a farewell (or preventing a farewell) and an expression of the inexpressible lost love. The poem is free verse. Dawe uses the flow of the stanza’s to reflect the recurrent image of growth; this image is reinforced by the metaphors of plants and nature used ...

... “north-north-west” brand of insanity. Both plays offer a characteron each side of sanity, but in Hamlet the distinction is not asclear as it is in King Lear. Using the more explicit relationshipin King Lear, one finds a better understanding of the relationshipin Hamlet.While Shakespeare does not directly pit Ophelia’s insanity (orbreakdown) against Hamlet’s madness, there is instead a cleardefinitiveness in Ophelia’s condition and a clear uncertainty inHamlet’s madness. Obviously, Hamlet’s character offers moreevidence, while Ophelia’s breakdown is quick, ...
