... will cause chaos, killing their people and taking their land. That is exactly what they ended up doing. The Indians are hopeless because there is nothing they could have done because according to the myth once the Indians knew what was coming it was to late to stop it. “It’s already turned loose. It’s already coming. It can’t be called back.� (pg. 138) The White man killed many of the Indians through murder and disease. The few that were left were cramped on tiny reservations. By reading this book you can see that the Native Americans live in extreme poverty. This is brought upon the Indians by the whit ...

... in this epic novel teaches an important lesson on the behavior of humankind. Through Beowulf, it can be seen that humankind is held back by evil (In this novel, they are in the form of monsters.) in their search for salvation. The monster, Grendel, is described as being a very large and vicious monster. Grendel attacks men while they sleep, ripping them apart and eating them. Grendel is “the creature of evil, grim, and fierce, was quickly ready, savage, and cruel, and seized from their rest thirty thanes.� He killed the Danish warriors for twelve winters, and was incapable of feeling any remorse for what he ha ...

... “Smitty” Schmid was charged of rape and murder of three young girls in the fall of 1965 in Tucson, Arizona. “Oates wrote the story after hearing Dylan’s song “Its All Over Now, Baby Blue” Oates also has dedicated the story to Dylan which has brought about a fair amount of mystery and speculation. (Joyce Carol Oates, Raines) Connie, a fifteen year old girl who likes to go off and have fun with her friends, meet and dream about boys and the idea of a perfect life and relationship is the main target of a clever malicious stalker, a man who intends to kidnap, rape and murder her. &# ...

... her with other "beauties." Benvolio predicts, "Compare her face with some that I shall show,/ And I will make thee think thy swan a crow." (I, ii, l 86-87) To show his appreciation, the servant asks for Romeo's presence at the ball. Romeo should have considered the servant's warning; if Romeo occupies the name of Montague, he shall not be permitted. Once at the ball, Romeo is searching for a maiden to substitute the unrequited love of Rosaline. Romeo happens to gaze upon Juliet, who charms Romeo. Romeo proclaims, " Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight!/ For ne'er saw true beauty till this night." ( ...

... of masks to reveal characters true emotions and to express the power of raw beauty. Shakespeare uses this imagery through all of his characters in the play, but especially the two characters of Viola and Feste. The perfect example of the use of the masking imagery can be seen through Feste. Acting as a wiseman and not the fool, Feste shows the development of masks. Feste tries to “conceal [him] for what [he] is”(1.2) because he knows that if the people knew that he was a wiseman, than he would not be called upon to sing his songs, symbols of what is right. Also, the people would not come to him for ...

... has to do with Cinderella's fairy godmother. In the French version, Cinderella has a fairy godmother who looks after her throughout the story. In the Grimm version of this story, however, there is no fairy godmother. Second, in the French version Cinderella had to be home by midnight. I feel that the entire outcome of the story was based on this. If she had not been in a hurry to get home by midnight, she would not have left her slipper behind, and the story would not have ended the way it did. Another major difference between the two versions has to do with the type of person Cinderella is. In the ...

And third, he is trying to put the Martian in a lower standing and trying to put himself on a pedestal. Thus, the interaction between the Martians and Humans, proves that Humans feel insignificant compared to the apparently more superior race. In the novel The Martian Chronicles, author Ray Bradbury uses setting and characterization to show the reader that a human will try to ignore their feelings of isolation and insignificance which can be caused by science advancing so quickly that the human can't comprehend the ...

... Jean-Paul Sartre, Wolfgang Iser, and Hans Robert Jauss are associated with the phenomenological approach to literature. Because the reader response movement is built on the foundation that the audience is an essential part of the literary process, phenomenologists tend to show a great deal of respect for the reader. In fact, a major underlying theme of this movement is the idea that the reader should be granted freedom to interpret a literary work in any way he/she likes. Jean-Paul Sartre, in his essay entitled "Why Write?", describes this best when he says "the writer appeals to the reader's freedom to collabora ...

... beginning "that summer in Seattle she [when] she had needed a job." The husband seems suspicious of their relationship, and his tone is jealous and demeaning. He describes the blind man’s situation with short, terse sentences; "He didn’t have any money, either. But she was in love with the guy, and he was in love with her, etc." He almost seems to balk at their relationship as his use of "etc." depicts. However, the narrator’s ignorance and his perception of the blind man’s life is obvious. Because the narrator cannot understand life without vision, he assumes that the ...
