... self-willed and possessive of a fiery temper. An example of this is when Jane stands up to her aunt saying, "You think I have no feelings, and that I can do without one bit of love or kindness, but I cannot live so: and you have no pity" (Bronte, 68). Here, Jane makes her first declaration of independence, contending that she will no longer be a secondary member in the Reed household. At Lowood, Jane is repulsed by Mr. Blocklehurst and his "two-faced" character and coarseness. However, while at Lowood, Jane finds her first true friend in the form of Helen Burns, another student at the school. Helen teaches J ...
... “Don’t forget, when she gets married, who’ll carry me the burden from this house?” (45). In Sara, her father finds his most persistent and unyielding opponent, and increasingly so as she gets older. She, the youngest, has breathed heavily of the New World’s aura, and eventually decides it’s more important than her father’s preaching. Sara has also inherited a large part of her father’s tenacity, and uses it in her own particular way to achieve her goals. This equality of willpower, this sameness of temperament between Sara and her father is necessary for their ability to resist each other’s choices. No one else in the family has the neces ...
... is another word for being "Recalled to Life," as in the title of book one. Being "Recalled to Life," can be shown on a mental, physical, and spiritual level, just the same as resurrection. Dickens gives the reader a taste of being "Recalled to Life," right off the bat, when Mr. Lorry, in his stagecoach, is set out for Dover to bring Dr. Manette back to England, sends Jerry Cruncher to Tellson's Bank with the message, "Recalled to Life." Then as the coach lurches on towards its destination, he falls asleep and dreams. "After such imaginary discourse, the passenger inhis fancy would dig, and dig, dig, --now, with a spade, now with a great key, now with his hands- ...
... argument should bring us to raise questions of our own about what we believe to be truths. In the light of his arguments it is hard to firmly root any of our preconceived knowledge. He shows us all of the difficulties there are in trying to do so. I do find his arguments convincing, for I have often found myself in life asking the same type of questions. I have never found any real answers for these questions. None at least that I can call knowledge in a true sense. To tell you now why I think Descartes makes a good argument is easy. I think it is healthy to question what we currently believe as knowledge. It is a way of learning about the world and ...
... the fate of Macbeth, the plan in which to gain power of the throne is brought up. The only way to gain power of the throne was for Macbeth to work his way to the throne, or to murder King Duncan. Murdering the king was an easier plan since the motivation in his dreams urged him on. Lady Macbeth also relied on the supernatural by her soliloquy of calling upon the evil spirits to give her the power to plot the murder of Duncan without any remorse or conscience (Act I, Scene V, ll.42-57). The three sisters are capable of leading people into danger resulting in death, such as the sailor who never slept (Act I, Scene III, ll.1-37). Lady Macbeth has convinced her hus ...

... nurturing nature would balance out society that was controlled by aggressive and reason-oriented men. She argues that men and women are equals but their responsibilities to society are distinctive. In the second half of her book, Cooper addresses America’s race problem. She argues that, yes, there is a problem concerning race in America and the only way that it will eventually be solved is by the power and grace of God. Until He intervenes, Americans must stand ready and be prepared to go to battle with racism. She argues that racism is un-Christian in practice although it may be justified by certain ideologies. The only measure of Christianity however, is ...
... of whom once wrestled him to a draw. Zeus was the youngest son of the Titans Cronus and Rhea. When he was born, his father Cronus intended to swallow him as he had all of Zeus's siblings: Poseidon, Hades, Hestia, Demeter and Hera. But Rhea hid the newborn in a cave on Mount Dicte in Crete. (To this day, the guides at the "cave of Zeus" use their flashlights to cast shadow puppets in the cave, creating images of baby Zeus from the myth.) When he had grown up, Zeus caused Cronus to vomit up his sisters and brothers, and these gods joined him in fighting to wrest control of the universe from the Titans and Cronus, their king. Having deposed his father and the o ...
... anger toward the dandelions she once thought were beautiful. However, “the anger will not hold”(50), and the feelings soon gave way to shame. Pecola was the sad product of having others’ anger placed on her: “All of our waste we dumped on her and she absorbed. And all of our beauty, which was hers first and which she gave to us”(205). They felt beautiful next to her ugliness, wholesome next to her uncleanness, her poverty made them generous, her weakness made them strong, and her pain made them happier. When Pecola’s father, Cholly Breedlove, was caught as a teenager in a field with Darlene by two white men, “never did he once consider directing his h ...
