... with the customer whether he will injure himself by means of either, or will derive from them the benefits which they will afford him if he uses their possibilities judiciously.

... to the fact that flash is not always needed. His armor left dark smudges on his tunic. Humbling experiences cause humans to step back and analyze the fortune they have; they learn that they do not have to wear their achievements. Sometimes people boast their success through fine clothing. Unlike the flamboyant Yeomen, the distinguished knight wears old garments. The Yeomen succumbs to society's inclination that when he dresses the part he will become successful. He wears a coat with a green hood. From a low social standing, he believes that the better he looks the more successful he will become. Emphasis should be placed on one's achievements and inner self ...
... those differences were that he had hope. Many scenes involved ironic contrasts between the tone and the surroundings. On several occasions the background music was cheerful and upbeat while the physical settings and scenery were terribly dark, dreary and depressing. One good example of this is the scene where Andy was helping the guards with their taxes. There was upbeat and cheerful music but the room and the surroundings were dark and gloomy. This hint of happiness represents how Andy’s hope was unexpectedly surviving inside the prison walls. Andy distracted himself from his life in prison by staying occupied with physical and mental activities. ...
... his own sins: a delicate and sinful perfume....the brittle texture of a womans stocking. He also remembers how his masters at Clongowes and Belvedere taught him christian doctrine and urged him to lead a good life and...led him back to grace once he fell short of Gods glory. Stephens first calling, to become a priest, has appeal, but his epiphany lets him know that his true calling, instead, deals with finally knowing the solitude that he always faced. Stephen considers the many aspects of his priestly vocation: great power, sinless innocence, and the pious constraint on his freedom. By the end of this sequence, Stephen realizes that his soul longs for freedom fr ...
... primary reason not to proceed to Florida, and ironically, they confront the fugitive in a strange twist of fate. In another instance, the grandmother insists on taking her cat on vacation with her and her justification for having to take the cat is that the cat could brush against on to the burners, turn them on and suffocate himself. The cat, is in fact, the perpetrator that causes the accident and near the end of the story when the family meets with foul play, the cat is the only survivor. Irony again is presented when they are driving. The grandmother cautions Bailey about his driving and it so happens they have an accident. As soon as the grandmother talks Bai ...
... and conformity. By the way he cares for poor Jim he shows the highest mindset in Twain’s novel. Huck is the only one who can put the fact of racial times and culture behind him. Although exposed too the greatest amount of corruption, Huck is the purest character in the book. From the beginning of the novel, one can observe the inner strength of young Huck. Huck was a “beaten and bruised” child, coming from a family where the only guidance that the boy had was from his drunken Pap (Dynos 13). Due to a lack of leadership to follow in, Huck was forced to raise himself. It takes a strong character to raise oneself (18), and Huck did one hell of a job doing ...
... in which it is proven by Atreyu and Bastian who set the stage and begins what has to be begun. Bastian plays the role of a heroic human being in a human world reading nothing but a book called The Neverending Story while Atreyu characterizes an immortal hero living out struggles inside the book. Their separate worlds are furnished together to bring a united conclusion, but with the reality and truth of their past, they are again separated; but in a resolving mood. This coming together of reality and fiction associates with the reader’s mind because it justifies and gives a reason to connect with The Neverending Story by Michael Ende. Thus, this book deserve ...
... someday plans to eliminate Snowball as a rival. For example he secretly trained the guard dogs in secret, keeping them completely hidden from view.

Napoleon's sense of timing is keen and this is very useful is his quest for more power. At just the right time he implies that Snowball's teachings are not beneficial to the other ...
... the bee in her ear. When she woke up in the morning Montag said, “I wanted to talk to you…she said”(Bradbury 19). The toaster in the Montag;s house, it did all the work. “Toast popped out of the silver toaster, was seized by a spidery metal hand that drenched it with melted butter. Mildred watched the toast delieered to her plate.” (Bradbury 18). The mechanical hound in the firehouse worked as a sercurity system only better. It was a device of terror, a machine whose perverse similarity to a trained killer-dog. It was improves by a refined technology that allows it to inexorably track down and capture criminals by stunnning them with a tranquilize ...
... and physically deformed by this malnutrition and neglect. This is a representation of our very own sometimes gross existence. Think about our own homeless people and how they are treated. We ignore the except to make fun and laugh. We find it repulsive how they are dirty, smelly, and often beg from us. Mentally or physically challenged people in our society often receive the same treatment. We make fun because they are not as intelligent or physically fit as we are. They might have to use some sort of assistance to get around. They might not be able to speak like us or understand things the way most of us do. These are just two examples of people livi ...
