... The madness came into his eyes again. “I thought I might kill” In this quote from Jack, He shows his desire to kill, alone. It also shows that from the beginning, Jack had to kill, and it was driving him crazy not to kill. All that Jack could do while stuck on the island was think about killing, talk about killing, and actually killing. That was his first evil trait. The second evil trait found in the savagery of Jack Merridew is unnecessary stealing. The two characters that he really stole from are Ralph and Piggy. From Ralph, Jack stole the boy followers, respect, and friends. He stole followers from Ralph by luring them into his tribe with ...
... as rememberable as Miss Judy Jones. Unfortunately for these men, Judy’s personality leaves quite a bit to be desired. She is a very arrogant self-centered person, whose philosophy in life is, “do every thing for me”. She knows that these men who such desire her will sacrifice life and limb for her, and she not only excepts that, but also usually makes them prove it. Judy looks out for herself only, and does anything that will benefit her. This is typical behavior from the Jazz Age, however it is taken to an extreme in this case. Judy’s good look, and ability to manipulate men, comes with a price. She may have the looks, but she doesn’t have the intellige ...

... male dominated culture, the values privileged in women include silence and subordination. Ginny is acceptable as a woman as long as she remains "oblivious" (121). She is allowed to disagree with men, contingent upon her doing so without fighting (104). Ultimately, her opinion as a woman remains irrelevant. Ginny remarks, "of course it was silly to talk about 'my po int of view.' When my father asserted his point of view, mine vanished" (176). When she makes the "mistake" of crossing her father, she is referred to as a "bitch," "whore," and "slut" (181, 185). It could be argued that many of the male characters in the novel are suffering from a type of vir ...
... made between the Okies struggle and the naturalistic struggle to survive. The turtle symbolizes the persistence neccessary for good to prevail over evil. The turtle overcame every obstacle that he faces. As the turtle is walking down the highway, a truck approached him. The driver saw the turle, and deliberately swerved to hit him. The driver of the truck symbolizes the owners, who deliberately try to strike down the migrants. The turtle continues steadily on westerly; the same direction of the migrant people. Good is personified by the poor people. When Ma Joad was talking to the storekeeper who had lent her money she said "If you're in trouble or hurt or ne ...

... France" ("The Fall of the House of Usher" - Analysis, 5). Poe is grouped with other writers in the Romantic period. Writers of this period focused on life, emotions, and the existence of the human race. Although Poe's work has many characteristics of Romanticism, "The Fall of the House of Usher", falls into the Gothic category. "It is usually admired for its ‘atmosphere' and for its exquisitely artificial manipulation of Gothic claptrap and decor"(Abel, 380). Bringing forth the symbolism of death is a major part of this writing. All of the characters in "The Fall of the House of Usher" are linked to death; by physical objects or by other peo ...
... complete opposite. In the Utopia people aren’t born anymore, they are grown. Another difference between the two worlds is in the Reservation people are still born the “old fashion way.” In the Brave New World everyone is young and pretty their whole lives thanks to chemicals and conditioning. It’s the complete opposite in the savage reservation. As seen by the old man, it’s shown that people in the Reservation age normally, loose their teeth, and get wrinkles. The reservation represents more of an old, more class time period whereas the Utopia is perhaps not to distant future gone wrong. In both societies, both of them still are imper ...
... a little and then they was dead- because they were so little (13).” Lennie’s remorse is probably more for upsetting George than it is for actually killing the animal. Another way that death and loss is evidenced by this novel is when Lennie killed Curley’s wife. When Lennie is in the barn (after killing his new puppy) Curley’s wife came into the barn and came on to Lennie. Lennie not knowing what was happening let her lull him into touching her hair. To Lennie it was like petting any other animal. Curley’s wife became flustered when Lennie became scared and would not let go of her hair. She started to scream and Lennie tried to cup her mouth, which co ...
... trapping himself in a tree he is discovered by a group of thanes out on patrol. Grendel expresses absolutely no hostile intentions towards these "ridiculous" (ch.2, pp.24) creatures that "moved by clicks." (ch.2, pp.24) The thanes do not understand what Grendel is and are very uneasy about the whole situation. Like animals they are frightened of anything that is different from what they are used to. When Grendel attempts to communicate they show their ignorance and simple-mindedness. Instead of taking the time to understand the anomaly in their world they panic and decide to destroy it. Without being able to view the story from Grendel's point of view the ...
