... Little”. Dr James later enters Harry’s room, discovering that Mr. Niemand left Harry a loaded revolver. Dr James leaves us with his thought “ only a madman would give a loaded revolver to an idiot.” The last line suggests many ideas, that arouse the readers’ thoughts.

... world. He was thought to be a bad person just because he was black. In reality, people might have liked him if they just got to know him. Tom Robinson can be compared to the senseless slaughter of a mockingbird beacuse he was killed just simply for the color of his skin. Another character who was symbolized by the mockingbird was Boo Radley. Boo was a man who was seen by society to be dangerous. Actually, Boo was kind and gentle. Children played games making fun of him because he never came out of his house. Boo came to Jem and Scouts rescue when they were attcaked by Bob Ewell going home fr ...

... that may have ruined his life. Yet this man faced this as a new beginning, as a survivor. Birney uses the roasting of the porcupine bellies as a symbol of his facing the difficult situations that faced him in stride. He uses those situations to his advantage and takes pride in the way he handles them thus the reference to keeping the quills in his hat. In the third stanza Birney shows us through a series of metaphorical actions the characters evolution in his attitude towards the entire situation. At first our character is still unsure and alert at all that is happening around him, “ At first he was out with th ...

... and initiative. It can also be seen that factors other than Ellis Jewish faith enabled her to survival throughout her ordeal. This statement is evident in both situations, when Ellis life was spared by the German soldier due to her beautiful hair as well as when she admitted that "If mother were to died, I won't be able to maintain my will to survive". Without Ellis continual enthusiasm towards the observance of Jewish festivals, she would have had absolutely nothing to look forward to and in-turn it would have eventuated in a loss of faith and maybe even death. Without a doubt, this characteristic of hers was impera ...

The settlers believed it to mean “bright stream between two hills.� The Powhatans, were not savages as John Smith would later claim in his General Historie of Virginia...&c. Instead, they were a ceremonious people who greeted important visitors in a formal manner with a large feast and festive dancing. Although they did occasionally put prisoners to death in a public ceremony, it was no more savage than the English customs of public disembowelment of thieves and the burning of women accused of being witches.

... come between the combatants and averts the fight. Out of blind rage, Romeo kills Tybalt. "And in my tmeper soften'd valours see!" Had Romeo not decided to exact revenge on Tybalt, perhaps the Capulets might have accepted him as a son. This would mean that Romeo and Juliet would not have had to hide their love for each other. Tybalt, indeed, had a large effect on the lives of Romeo and Juliet, by killing Mercutio. Another minor character thought to have shaped the destinies of Romeo and Juliet is Paris. In Act 3, Scene 5, Lady Capulet announces that Juliet is to marry Paris. "The County Paris, at Saint Peter's church, ...

... even notice where the keystone is." That is absolutely correct, because within Anna Karenina, there exists many themes that are all linked together to create such a wonderful piece of work. Critics tend to miss the role that the theme of life and death plays in Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. Despite its apparent meanings, these two themes are intertwined in the novel and provides a backbone for some of the other existing themes. With a masterful touch, Tolstoy is able to use these two themes to show the characters in their true forms at both stages. The characters are shown to be living in a s ...
