... Joe remembers being reprimanded at work, where he felt like crawling under a rock. Lastly, Joe needs to understand that just because he was with his mother in his dream doesn’t mean that he feels for her in that way. Because he was having sex with his mother most likely means that, he needed to take on some of the qualities that she possesses. Although it is a matter of interpretation, many feel they have found the ‘right way’ to understand theirs and others dreams. Dreams have been a curiosity since ancient times. Recently psychologists like Sigmund Freud and Karl Jung have become well known for their studies. There are many reasons ...

... choose Caesar for their king...yet I love him well."(act 1, scene 2, ll.85-89), as he is speaking to Cassius. Brutus loves Caesar, but would not allow him to "climber-upward...He then unto the ladder turns his back..."(act 2, scene 1, ll.24,26). As the quote says, Brutus would not allow Caesar to rise to power and then turn his back onto the people of Rome. After the assassination of Julius Caesar, Brutus talks to Antony about Caesar's death. "Our hearts you see not; they are pitiful; and pity to the general wrong of Rome..."(act 3, scene 1, ll.185-186). Brutus says that Antony cannot see their(members of the conspiracy) hearts, which are full of pity. Again ...

... Luckly it was short, If It wasnt I doubt i would have made it throught the whole thing. The main problem with this story was the inconsistance of the sentences, some sentences were too long while others were very short. The only way to truly fix this story would be to re-write it. The second story I chose to write about is called "Horses of the Night" by Margaret Laurence. I did enjoy reading this short story dipite the fact it seem to jump around alot; it would talk about somthing fairly in-depth then just suddenly jump to a different subject or time-era of the story. The author seem to show very good writing ability however so I think perhaps she ...

... were permitted,” (Mason15). Each of our heroes has many enemies. Odysseus’ main enemy that keeps him from returning home is Poseidon. Poseidon was the father of Polyphemos, who was blinded by Odysseus. Circe, an enchantress and daughter of the sun, was also an enemy of Odysseus who wished to turn Odysseus and his men into swine. In the poem Gilgamesh and Enkidu defeat the Bull of Heaven. The Bull of Heaven is also an enemy of Gilgamesh sent as a punishment for his arrogance. Mason states, “She [Ishtar] shook in greater rage and said she had no time to listen to reminders from old gods, but only to ask him to make for her the Bull of Heaven to destroy th ...

... Through the decision making that Brutus showed in that instance, it can be seen that Brutus is not a very smart person. Brutus' lack of intelligence is also shown when all the other conspirators are at his house. Cassius suggests that Cicero should be asked to join the conspiracy because "his silver hairs will purchase us a good opinion". Brutus, however, thinks that "he [Cicero] will never follow anything that other men begin". Later in the play, it becomes realized that if Brutus would have listened to Cassius and asked Cicero to join them, the citizens of Rome wouldn't have involved themselves in a civil war. Another mistake made by Brutus was to not ki ...

... at first then the leader of hunters. In a deeper sense Jack represents dictatorship and a primitive hunter. His leadership depends on in the ability to threaten and frighten those under him. His victory over piggy represents the triumph of violence over intellect, his knife represents death and destruction. It is through jack we see Brutality and savagery. Piggy is a typical obese young boy with brains, but in more he can be seen as a boy with civilised and scientific mind. His scientific mind can be seen when he talks about the beast: “ I know there isn’t not beast- not with claws and all that…” It is through Piggy we see victimisa ...

... wretched lodgings. These lodgings are much contrasted to those of Higgins in Wimploe Street. Not only does Shaw play on the audience’s sympathy for an impoverished Eliza, but also presents her insecurity to us. In the scene with the taxi-man, she appears significantly defensive in her response concerning the cost of the cab ride. Eliza feels humiliated by the taxi-man’s sarcastic response to her. From the start of Higgins and Eliza’s relationship, Eliza is treated like a child. Higgins says to her, "If your naughty and idle you will sleep in the back kitchen among the black beetles, and be walloped by Mrs. Pearce with a broomstick." (p. 36) Higg ...

... Party manages to manipulate the public into scorning emotions, love and loyalty. Suspicion and hatred are the main two feelings that replace love and loyalty, in the society of 1984. ¡§The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, a look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself¡¨ (Orwell, 65). This example shows the unfortunate replacement of loyalty with fear and suspicion of everyone in 1984. ¡§It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place, or near a telescreen¡¨ (65). Suspicion is a dominant feeling felt by almost all the members of the Outer Party in 1984. For example, when Winston met Julia for the fir ...

... Jem and Scout Finch, and the themes of racism, injustice, conservatism and the Depression are all the better served this way. Issues do not come alive except through the living, breathing experience of their participants and Scout Finch's particular take on the events of this book only makes those events gain in moral strength, not diminish. Boo Radley, Atticus Finch, Scout and Jem, Miss Maudie...the characters of this book have achieved an iconic status rare in modern literature. And it has achieved this not by making them Nietzschean uebermenschen, but by entering into their lives with fair, enthusiastic frankness. And to end off, this is one of only a handful of ...
