... diminished by the "lovely, dark, and deep" woods. The stunning woods represent the peace that is longed for by this man. However, man and nature are two separate things, and their worlds cannot be intertwined. The choice between the two is a difficult one, but the everlasting peace that nature presents is often turned to. This imagery of nature is used to parallel death, whereby the solemnity and peace that depicts nature, in turn, depicts death. The power of procrastination is strong enough to destroy even the strongest of wills. The man is pondering whether or not he should succumb to the "sleep" he desires, which symbolizes ending his life. He i ...
... has a large vision in many fields of their daily life. Also, an open-minded person is someone who can focus on and get results in most of the problematic and difficult situations in which they could be involved. For example, supposing that a fire starts; it is known that most of the people get panicked, but not those who are open-minded and are able to evaluate the danger fast. They will listen to the others' opinions, evaluate and analyze them, choose the best one, and get out from the situation thinking logically. For instance if the fire starts in a huge multi-store house they will not jump from the window risking to hurt themselves. Instead of that they will ...

... to make him tense. Johnson complains to his boss that his legs ache from being on them all day and he is not able to get enough rest to make his legs feel better. The hustle and bustle of trying to catch a long subway ride home was almost unbearable. As Johnson’s character develops throughout this short story, some key events push him to his limit and cause him to lose control. First, an incident with his white female boss, his so-called “forelady”, in which she called him a “nigger”. Second, Johnson is standing in line for a cup of coffee. As soon as he is at the coffee urn to receive a cup of coffee the white waitress says, “No more coffee f ...
... them about the will, waving it in the air and pretending as if he was not going to read it. Reverse psychology is used when he first pretends to respect the conspirators calling them honorable men, and then slowly proving that they are not. He speaks out against them because he wanted power for himself, and unlike Brutus, he is politically ambitious and so believes that if he can take control while the state is in turmoil, he will remain in power. He was alone in making this oration, yet he was confidant in himself and courageous. Rome began to collapse once Caesar was killed, and Antony was left without anyone to trust. He did not want to side with the conspirato ...
... he's on a farm. The story doesn't give much description on what his house looks like or the scenery. Also, in “The Devil and Daniel Webster” it tells the story at a quicker pace. Jabez meets the Devil and makes a deal before the story and plot really develop very much. In the “Devil and Tom Walker” the story goes into a lot of details about how his house is raggedy, ugly, and trashy looking. No man traveling ever stops at their house. His wife hides things, is mean, and a loud-mouth. The story describes how Tom walked through the murky swamp and how he met “Old Scratch” unlike “The Devil and Daniel Webster” when all the story talks about is how h ...
... Hamlet Swears revenge will be quick for his father’s murderer. For the two months since Hamlet has seen the ghost, Hamlet has been unable to commit his vowed revenge; unable to explain to himself either his long delay or his depression and insanity. Maybe he’s scared of taking revenge on Claudius, he may think by taking revenge he endangers his own soul. “No matter how right a man might think his motives are, if Claudius is innocent; the act of revenge would inevitably make Hamlet as evil as the accused in the eyes of God” (Becker p.32). “Hamlet decides to test Claudius’ guilt and the authenticity of the ghost; he will stage ...

... from how to treat people who are differnt than me. What I also liked about it was the way they never stopped trying to reach their dream. This made me think that if they could work hard for there dream why can't I. It showed me that it does not matter were you come from or what you do, it is okay to dream and work as hard as you can to reach it . For all it shows for friendship and loyalty it also shows how sometimes you have to do things you never thought you would do. For example in the end when George is forced to shoot Lennie in the head you would never have thought he would do that, but you can see that under the circumstances he had no other choice. He ...
