... her house, her heart starts pounding, she pulls at her hair and says, “Christ. Christ.,” not in reference to the Lord or religion in general but because she is worried about how bad she looks. This gives and indication of how the author interprets religion in the story, not important and not serious. As the story progresses, Connie’s language takes an obvious turn. When Arnold Friend, someone she has seen but never talked to, shows up on her doorstep, she is somewhat defensive, but curious. “I ain’t late, am I?” is the first thing he says to her when she opens the screen door. Conn ...

... because of their reputation for spraying unwelcome visitors with a noxious vapor. Here, the reason for Robert Lowell’s choice in animals becomes obvious. Utilizing such an isolated animal to parallel the thoughts of the speaker, Lowell considerably strengthens the distance between the speaker of the poem and the “love-cars” (Lowell 11) being watched. Even if the occupants of those cars knew they were being observed, chances are they would not associate themselves with the speaker. In addition, Robert Lowell portrays his character as something akin to a stalker, illustrated in the following exce ...

... fascinated with the Radley house, and would stare at it for long periods of time. The house had darkened to the colour of the slate-gray yard around it. Johnson grass and rabbit-tobacco grew in abundance on the front yard. Inside of the house, people said there lived a “malevolent phantom� named Boo Radley (Lee 8). He supposedly went out at night and peeped into other people’s windows. Scout also mentions, “When people’s azaleas froze in a cold snap, it was because he had breathed on them.� (Lee 9) Tall pecan trees shook their fruit into the schoolyard, from the Radley chickenyard. However, the nuts wou ...

... the EMCL (C. 1975), utilizes a strict metrical rhythmic structure, while the other example, by the Ensemble Organum (C. 1990), features a much freer rhythmic approach. These will be referred to as "metric" and "free" respectively. The metric version has a Western feel that would seem more "correct" to ears of European leaning (or learning). Much as we tend to view the past through the prism of today, those who eventually set these ancient chants in standardized notation saw them through an equally tainted gaze. The Benedictine monks left most ornamentation out of their chant settings (C. 1900) because they v ...

... had to go to the hospital because of stomach problems. Alma describes this by saying, "With Henry and Geouge in the navy, Allen can't run it alone. Donald's had him put it up for sale." (Stegner, 16). This shows how a lot of help is needed to run a farm, but a person can survive in nature by themselves. Alma is faced with this problem because there is not a lot of people willing to help her, but her husband will soon be leaving her. Living in as nature intended us to avoid the many problems that come with farming. Another reason that living in nature is more desirable is because of its stability and dependabili ...

... barnyard animals in Animal Farm, and that the laborers received low wages for their work. With the leadership of the pigs, the smartest animals, the animals rebel against the humans and gain total control of the farm. That symbolizes the Russian Revolution. The title of the book makes you think that it’s only about animals, but instead it’s really about Communist Russia. Each of the animals represents the Russian leaders and the Russian people. “Trotsky and Stalin's relationship was very much like Snowball's and Napoleons. Trotsky organized the Red Army and gave speeches and everyone in Russia thoug ...

... give my personal opinion on why Elie Wiesel wrote this book. One of the main topics in this book is how Elie, a boy of strong religious faith, as well as many Jews lose their faith in God because of the atrocities that take place in the concentration camps.

At a young age Elie took a strong interest in Jewish religion as he spent most of his time studying the Talmud. Eventually he comes across Moshe the Beadle, who would take him under his wing and instruct him more in depth of the ways of the Talmud a ...
