... of Capitol Hill, it confused our young minds as to why someone who do so. Why? -- That question to me is very hard to answer. The flag stood for freedom, liberty, and justice for all. Battles that had ensured our freedom had been fought over the star spangled banner. Victory as a nation over the English, the Spanish, and the Southerners who wanted to keep their slaves, the Axis who wanted to take over the world, and the Germans who were burning the Jews. Each time we fought we emerged victorious, each time the flag was still there -- a symbol of those who had fought for us, and those who had died doing so. Now why after all of these reasons why would anyone ...
... or weak, bold or trembling."(Sclossberg 1) It is being able to put out your whole life for the well being of somebody else. "Love drives you to share or sacrifice everything you are…or ever hope to be."(Sclossberg 1) True love is unconditional. It is an unexplainable phenomenon. This love, this supreme happiness, is to a very large extent an illusion in itself. When one is truly in love, he/she vows a commitment to live for that person. He/she should be willing to do anything for the happiness of the one they love. In order to do this, one must recognize and understand the character of their lover. "He alone is in a position to recognize the hidden ...
... Without Joe as a major role in Pip's life, Pip also seems very incomplete. Second, Mrs. Joe also serves as the comical interlude of an otherwise sombre story. "When she had exhausted a torrent of such inquiries, she threw a candlestick at Joe, burst into a loud sobbing, got out the dustpan -- which was always a very bad sign -- put on her coarse apron, and began cleaning up to a terrible extent. Not satisfied with a dry cleaning, she took to a pail and scrubbing-brush, and cleaned us out of house and home,..." Truly, a frightening creature is that that may destroy a household by cleaning when anger besets her. Third, ...
... today – Henry Ford’s assembly line. 1984’s society uses technology, such as telescreens and food dispensers, but could conceivably exist without it. This difference in levels of technological advancements most likely stems from Huxley’s great love for science. Another difference between the novels lies within the methods in which the government seeks to control the people. Brave New World takes a person at birth and inbreeds within them an uncontrollable need to follow society doctrine while 1984 uses fear of death as the method of control. The societies use completely different methods to control emotion within the populace. Brave New W ...
... to show Marion that he has changed and is capable of taking care of Honoria. However, the story may also be a bit biased considering that the narrator may not be a reliable person. There are also certain situations in the story, which questions Charlie’s sincerity about how much he has changed. I think that Charlie’s love for Honoria is the biggest reason for him to regain her custody. Throughout the story, Charlie has expressed how much he loves Honoria and how much he needs her in his life. Honoria also expresses how much she loves her father and how much she misses him. She tells her father more than once that she would rather live with him ...
... rule that a woman should marry, have children, and be happy and content with that as their life. Society portrays this to be a woman's rightful job and duty. A woman should act and look "proper" at all times. This is what Edna is fighting against in this novel. She feels that, though many women agree with this "known" rule, it isn't fair. For six years Edna conforms to these ideas by being a "proper" wife and mother, holding Tuesday socials and going to operas, following the same enduring schedule. It is only after her summer spent at Grand Isle that her "mechanical" lifestyle becomes apparent to her. She sees how much she is unhappy with the expectations, hel ...
... has to goad him into killing the King. After committing the murder, Macbeth seems almost delirious. He says that "…all great Neptune’s ocean will not wash this blood clean from my hand"(Act II, Scene ii, lines 60-61). When he murders Banquo, Macbeth is still in torment, but the cause of his anguish seems to have changed. He is afraid of Banquo, because Banquo knows about the witches and because the witches predicted that his descendents would be kings. Banquo’s death, he says will put his mind at rest. As the play goes on, there is a fundamental change in Macbeth’s character. Due to the manipulation of others, Macbeth has lost all sense of morali ...

Beowulf tells the tale of the Danes and how a horrible monster, Grendel, plagued them. Upon hearing of this great and powerful creature, Beowulf travels to Herot (the mead-hall built by Hrothgar) to ask permission to challenge Grendel.

... that you can empathise later to what he is experiencing in the poem . This setting for many , will of course bring the Channel to mind , a gigantic image , provoking again thoughts, this time of France. The title itself however does not give you any emotional insight into the poem . I feel the poet did this as to not alert the reader to what is going to transcend upon them further in the poem. The poems opening stanza is to begin with very soft and tranquil , 'The sea is calm tonight'. The words the poet uses are pleasing , ' Gleams , sweet , glimmering'. The mood for the poem is being set. The reader is filled with visions of peace ...
... with bloody execution", he is referring to 's braveness in which his word is covered in the hot blood of the enemy. After these few references to honour, the symbol of blood now changes to show a theme of treachery and treason. Lady Macbeth starts this off when she asks the spirits to" make thick my blood,” What she is saying by this is that she wants to make herself insensitive for what she is about to do. Lady Macbeth knows that the evidence of blood is a treacherous symbol, and knows it will deflect the guilt from her and Macbeth to the servants when she says "smear the sleepy grooms with blood.” and "If he do bleed, I'll gild the faces of the gro ...
