... “ashes to ashes, dust to dust” are not altered for the cremation, the interior chamber “looked cool, clean, and sunny” as by a graveside, and the coffin was presented “feet first” as in a ground burial. In selecting aspects of a traditional burial service, Shaw's mood is revealed as ambivalent toward cremation by imposing recalled fragments of ground burial for contrast. Strangely fascinated, he begins to wonder exactly what happens when one is cremated. This mood of awe is dramatized as he encounters several doors to observe in his chronological investigation. He sees “a door opened in the wall,” and follows the coffin as it “passed out thr ...
... up with, “But then it is three full months till the raise comes through” (, 1506). Nora at this point in the play is nothing more than a child, careless in her action and not thinking ahead of possible consequences. Nora sees nothing wrong in spending big on Christmas. Granted this is a righteous cause, since the holidays are about giving to others, but still a parent should know the limit of happiness they should bring. At this point Torvald begins to act as “society” and unknowingly begins to use condescending terms towards Nora. “Are you scatterbrains off again?” (1506), “…my dear little Nora.” (1507), (You’re an odd little one” (1507). ...
... Soon, however, his actions start to haunt him. While Raskolnikov never considers himself guilty of a wrongdoing, Sonia, Dunya, and his mother know the truth. When he first confesses to Sonia, Svidrigailov overhears them talking and uses the information to his advantage. He tells Dounia that "[Raskolnikov] made a full confession to [Sonia]" (498). It devastates her to discover her brother is a murderer. From there Raskolnikov's mother "heard [Dounia] talking in her sleep" and "understands at least half of it already" (526). Both Sonia and Dounia urge Raskolnikov to confess. He goes for a long walk and decides he "[wants] to end it all" (526). ...
... were troubled by the little boy’s words. It must be noted at this point that there was no definite physical appearance to the beast because it was assumed to be the over-active imagination of little children at work. At the same time it is obvious that Golding uses the early chapters in the book to set the scene for the chaos and terror of the beast that follows. Soon it became evident that even the older boys had begun to wonder whether in fact some kind of beast did inhabit the island. It was also apparent that nobody was willing to admit this, but the fact that many boys now cried out in their sleep or had terrible nightmares is further proof that they ...
... out for his friends and relatives, encouraging peace. He spoke against fighting when he said "I pray thee, good Mercutio, lets retire. / The day is hot, the Capulets abroad, / And, if we meet, we shall not 'scape a brawl,"(III. I. 1-3). The Nurse is Juliet's best friend, but calling her "mom" would be more appropriate. Unlike Lady Capulet, Juliet's mother, the nurse cares for Juliet, knows exactly when she was born, and has fond memories of her childhood. The Nurse acted like a messenger, meeting with Romeo to discuss wedding plans for him and Juliet. The love of friends was necessary for any future love to blossom. The next form of love was for enemies. Th ...
... food” and decribes it as “evil” (2). This sugar-hating crusader is quite convincing. Morowitz even goes as far as stating, “The mental image evoked was that of a solemn judge sentencing someone in perpetuity for an “unnatural act”(2) As the “…veil of sleep had lifted and the uncertainty of reason replaced the assuredness of emotion,” Morowitz begins to question the validity of the past movie star’s accusations (2). After taking time to ponder her barrage against sugar that had him all fired up in emotion, Morowitz contemplates where this actress “had acquired such self-righteous certainty about biochemical and nutritional matters that hav ...
... He had to do this before he could concentrate and settle down to do his work. Unlike Turkey he did not need the alcohol to have these two sides to his personality. This was just part of his own personal existence. When the narrator hires Bartleby he is thinking and hoping that this is a man who can work at his best for the whole day. Nippers and Turkey might be here therefore to show us that the narrator is going to have the same problems with Bartleby. Nippers and Turkey also give us something to compare Bartelby to. Another reason Turkey and Nippers might be in the story is because they can be part of the setting. The story is taking place around the 1850's. ...
... go to a Chinese take-away. She is so upset by his behavior that in spite of her pangs of conscience she accepts an ivitation from her best friend, Jane, to accompany her on a two-week's holiday to Greece. The holiday at the Mediterranean coast means to her the fulfillment of the long cherished dream to drink a glass of wine in the land where the grape grows. As she knows that her family would try to talk her out of her plan, she does her shopping and packing secretly, looking forward to a few days away from home but also fearing that she can not hold her own in the world on the other side of the kitchen wall. However, her weak self confidence is quickly strengthen ...
... friendship continued to grow while working together. They also continued to help each other out in times of need. Ram Chandler not only got Hasari a job, he helped teach him about the rickshaw business and life in Calcutta. Ram showed Hasari where to get business and how to help the soreness from pulling. Another thing he taught Hasari was how to hide any illness he got. Ram also reminded Hasari how lucky he was to have what he did have. "Good old Ram, there was no one quire like him for making you realize that there was always someone worse off than you"(C.O.J. p. 161). "Jesus of Anand Nagar, you know that I am here simply to share- so that together they and I can ...
... to ankle. It conceals the bulges overhanging from different parts of her body, as the years have added the extra pounds. The dress is divided in the middle with a white belt and gold buckle. This is the kind of belt and buckle Drill Sergeant Mabel would wear during her inspection of Norma Jean’s house: "she inspects the closets and then the plants, informing Norma Jean when a plant is droopy or yellow. She also notices if Norma Jean’s laundry is piling up" (666). Everything must be in its proper place, having been ordered by Mabel’s strict discipline policy. Mabel’s discipline is the result of her anger against Norma Jean for get ...
