... what the war was about and what exactly was going on. The soldiers did see that, and more, everyday, everynight, never to not be faced with it. The phrase "war is kind" is mentioned several times throught out the poem, which is not what most people would use to describe the war. That is probably the reason that the certain phrase was used. By saying that war is kind, it made the reader think, really think, about why would Crane use that phrase about the war. The reader then would figure out that the war wasn't kind, and think of reasons why it wasn't kind. That wouldn't have happened if Crane had stated that the war is not kind in the first place. By usi ...
... her own house. Esperanza was shy and too trusting. Rachel and Esperanza were walking down the street in high heels when they were about 11 years old, and they ran into a bum on the stoop of a tavern. At first they thought he was a nice guy but when they were talking to him for about 5 minutes they realized he was a little strange and he scared them so they left and ran away (P.39). This is another example of how shy Esperanza was. She stated in "The First Job": "When lunch time came I was scared to eat alone in the company lunchroom". This weakness allowed her to be gullible and vulnerable. In "Red Clowns", Esperanza is betrayed by Sally because Sally told Es ...
... Scarlet Letter was written in the eighteen hundreds, with no other purpose but for Hawthorne to write a novel. Hawthorne perhaps chose this dark subject to convey his contempt for Puritanism. He was a man preoccupied with the hidden sin which is illustrated in not only the Scarlet Letter, but also in The Minister's Black Veil. One might even say that Hawthorne's ancestry (Hathorne) is what he might consider his own "Pearl", and this is why he changed his name. Like Miller's the Crucible, The Scarlet Letter takes place in Puritan Salem and has a tragic hero, but these are the only similarities between the two great works. In Miller's play, the tragic h ...

This type of character is one of the most important members of the cast in most all stories. It is this person that most everything revolves around. Opposite from dynamic characters, there are static characters in the story that help to drive the story forward. S ...

... should be educated and have the ability to read so that they might learn more and rise higher, socially and politically which would lead to self betterment. Enlightenment writers and pre-Enlightenment writers were similar in the way that they tried to convey reason and learning. They differed of the premise of the techniques of writing. The pre-Enlightenment writers were mostly made up of the educated class of clergy and the upper class, who would afford to go to school.

... if they would have taken the same actions, they would have been dismissed much more rapidly. The narrator admits to this when he said, “ With any other man I should have flown outright into a dreadful passion, scorned all further words, and thrust him ignominiously from my presence.” (2409) The next theme is man’s desire to avoid conflict. The narrator avoids conflict on several occasions. The first time refused to proofread a paper, the narrator simply had someone else do it instead of confronting him and resolving the issue right then. By ignoring the problem, he left the door open for more disobedience. As expected, continued to refuse to proofread and ...

... all-around person. But his character flaw, his passiveness, led to his downfall, which is his hanging. Proctor’s passiveness, or unwillingness to involve himself, is evident in many aspects in the play. In the first Act, it is seen that Proctor wishes to distance himself as much as possible from what is happening in Salem--the bewitching of the young girls. He has many reasons for doing so. First and foremost, Proctor is afraid of being seen as a lecher, because he thinks that his affair with Abigail may become public. Throughout the first act, Proctor stays away from the witch trials of Salem; he hopes that Reverend Hale will be able to solve the wi ...
