... him to stop teasing the Cyclops, it’s easy to prove that he made unwise choices. Continuing to tease the Cyclops obviously caused more trouble and still Odysseus kept doing it because it pleased him. Circe said to Odysseus, "Then come follow me… in the Magic House of Circe" (Homer923). Although he was warned about Circe, he still went back and got his men to also follow his mistake. Going to Circe’s "Magic House" was a bad decision for Odysseus to make. Odysseus did not consider the results of his decisions. Odysseus endangered his men. Odysseus said, "Yet I refused. I wished to see the caveman… no pret ...

... to meet The Misfit, and ultimately sealing the entire family's death. O'Connor makes the trite seem sweet, the humdrum seem tragic, and the ridiculous seem righteous. The reader can no longer use their textbook ways of interpreting fiction and human behavior because O'Connor is constantly throwing our assumptions back at us. Through out "" O'Connor reinforces the horror of self-love through her images. She contrasts the two houses, The Tower: the restaurant owned by Red Sammy, and the plantation house.

... made him millions. The time during Prohibition in the 1920's was a opportune time to take advantage of the lack of alcohol and sell it for those who would pay large sums for it. Organized criminals catered to the needs of the drinking public by illegally supplying them with liquor. The book and Fitzgerald didn't reference straight to this crime but implied that the American Society was blameworthy in its dealings with the problem. This is not the case in the least. The period know as the Roaring Twenties will always be remembered for its glittering lights and unbridles romances, not the crime. The manner in whi ...

... her like garbage. "She be lucky if it don't live. Bound to be the ugliest thing walking. Can't help but be. Ought to be a law: two ugly people doubling up like that to make more ugly. Be better off in the ground." (Morrison, Page 148) Since no one is willing to provide for her, she must somehow provide for herself. It is like she has been thrown into a pool of melancholic acid and every day she sinks deeper and deeper, the satirical substance eating away from the inside out, until she hits the bottom and is consumed by the phlogiston. She has so many hardships that her caustic circumstances drive her to schizophrenia ...

... For example, had it not been for Athena giving him confidence, by no means would he ever have thought of taking such a voyage, hence, Telemachus would have never participated in his "final test" against the suitors either. His sorrow and anger from the loss of his father and his mother constantly being attacked and proposed to by suitors were also driving forces towards his journey. Some of these are brought out in different situations, both positive and negative, such as Menalaus's mention of his father, which caused a sudden out-burst of tears, and the proud and accomplished feeling he received from leaving Spa ...

... hired housekeeper. Freeman's mother was thus deprived of the very things which made a woman proud, her own kitchen, furniture, family china; and she had lost the one place in which it was acceptable for her to be powerful: her home” (Biography to Remember). As a result, Freeman grew up without accepting the critical condition of her own mother. This is one of the reasons that in "The revolt of Mother" she puts mother in quotes to tell us that it was just a title, not a person. "Father", who symbolize her own father, is presented as an unaffectionate father and husband who saw her wife "as immovable to him as ...

... stuck. We just sat there for what seemed like weeks, near death. One day a ship appeared, moving closer though there was no wind. As each of my men stood and moved toward the boat, they looked at me, their eyes as evil as death itself. The boat took them all, but I remained, I was left to die. How I survived to write you this letter is a mystery even to me.
