... he says, "---it was this liberation we had torn from the gray encroachments of 1943, the escape we had concocted, this afternoon of momentary, illusory, special and separate peace" (Knowles, 832). As he watches the snowball fight, Gene thinks to himself, "There they all were now, the cream of the school, the lights and leaders of the senior class, with their high IQs and expensive shoes, as Brinker had said, pasting each other with snowballs"(843).

... great power or energy, such as the sun, writing "although her eyes are sunny." Daniel uses the sun to compliment the mystical sense of his mistress.

When many people think of an idea of love that is perfect, many would say that women of purity and beauty would be the perfect ...

Another reason for the tragic hero to be in high authority is to display that if a tragedy may happen to someone such as a king, it may ...

... In the first quatrain, the poet suggests that his daughter has speed far greater than the “wind or water rushing by.” The reader learns that she also has the ability to travel “back throughout history and up the stream of time.” By this, the poet suggests that his daughters memories can be passed on through the lives of her children. Frost uses these examples to show that by staying at the “master speed”, stopping, his daughter has the ability to enjoy her existence and the commitment she is about to make. In the second quatrain, Frost tells the reader his daughter was given he ...

... of Shakespeare, the Friar deceives everybody into thinking Hero is dead. An instance of trickery involves Benedick being manipulated to believe Beatrice is in love with him. This trickery is carried out playfully by Don Pedro, Leonato and Claudio.

... touches, divided from them now by the narrow bottleneck of the most recent decade of years." The first perspective is that of Homer and the modern generation. The second is that of the older members of the Board of Aldermen and of the confederate soldiers. Emily holds the second view as well, except that for her there is no bottleneck dividing her from the meadow of the past. Faulkner begins the story with Miss Emily's funeral, where the men see her as a "fallen monument" and the women are anxious to see the inside of her house. He gives us a picture of a woman who is frail because she has "fallen," yet as impor ...
