The Great Gatsby - The Charact
... in the twenties, it was quite unusual to find a woman playing golf. When we first meet this character, she is described as a “slender, small breasted girl with an erect carriage which she accentuated by throwing her body backward at the shoulders like a young cadet.” Small breasts are usually symbolic of a masculine figure, as would being a “young cadet.” Later on, we see her reading the Saturday Evening Post, and turning the pages with a “flutter of slender muscles in her arms.” Reading a newspaper would be an unlikely action of a woman of that time, and even her muscles revea ...

Everything That Rises Must Coverge
... annoying. He often dreams of holding conversations with "distinguished-looking blacks" and contemplates bringing one home as lover. Despite his urges toward Blacks, the black women sitting next to him on the bus annoys him. By this encounter, it clear that Julian himself has not fully embraced multiculturalism despite how much he wants to. His mother carries herself as a woman of upper society and this is reflected by her actions and attitudes. For example, when Julian and her are waiting for the bus and Julian takes off his tie, she tells him he is embarrassing her because he looks like thug. She also ...

... A And no birds sing. @ In this sentence he describes his sadness because the singing of birds is associated with happiness and the birds are not singing.
So haggard and so woe-begone?
The squirrel=s granary is full,
And the harvest=s done.

In the next stanza, the knight is described as exhausted in appearance and afflicted. “And on thy cheeks a fading rose fast withereth too.” The colour of his skin is fadi ...

Analysis Of The Sacred Pipe
... a hard time keeping my attention. It was creatively written and had a lot more foot notes than any book that I had ever read. One negative thing that I personally had a problem with about this book was throughout my school career I have heard so many stories and read so many books about native Americans and native American rituals that it was kind of getting a little old, but never the less I gave this book a chance and it turned out to be a good gamble. That was becuase this book was different in the sense that it got way more in-depth with the beliefs and different legends of the native Americans than all oth ...

The Mirror By Sylvia Plath
... want to look like Barbie. Barbie is very skinny and has a great face. So little girls may stop eating or doing other things, so they could look like Barbie. But it wont happen, Barbie is a doll. People are real not Barbie dolls.
In the poem it shows how the lady wants to be pretty. So the lady takes short cuts to make her self look better to her self. Such as being in a candle lit rooms. But when the lady is in a regular lit room she becomes ugly to her self again.
The reason Mattel is changing the appearance of Barbie is because little girls impact on the way society looks upon them. And this could hurt somones ...

In The Time Of The Butterflies
... sake of their children and their mother. Did they really want their children to grow up without them? I see that they were trying to prove a point, but it also seems that they were working against themselves at the same time. They could not further the revolution while they were sitting in jail. I also wondered why Trujillo all of the sudden started killing people left and right. I concluded that he was desperate because he knew he was not going to have that much power for very long. He knew he was in trouble because the OAS Peace Committee came so he figured he might as well kill people while he still can. I don ...

Crucible Act 1 Summary
... the forest was nothing but a harmless social gathering in witch no spirits were conjured and their was no calling of the devil. Abigail sticks to that story until it is forced out of her. Only then does she feel it a necessity to admit witchcraft was a part of their dance. She doesn't admit she is a witch, rather that Ruth and Tituba were.
The Putnam's are the next to enter the play. Goody Putnam had lost seven children to birth and her only surviving daughter, Ruth, was not able to wake, just like Betty Parris. She was among those in the forest. Both Putnam's are quick to blame a witch for what has happened to ...

King Lear -
... urging Edmund to kill her husband
Albany leads to his arrest. Edgar in disguise fights Edmund, who is defending his honour and is mortally wounded - "the
wheel has come full circle". Gloucester, realising the wrong he has done to Edgar, yet joyful he is alive, dies. Edgar joins
Albany in ruling the country.
So skillfully has Shakespeare intertwined the two plots, beginning in Act II at Gloucester's castle and ending in the alliance

castle that Lear is humiliated by his daughters and fl ...
