... Now we can hide things under the bed is a primary example of the way Leroy was thinking (page 48). Lets hide it where we do not have to deal with it. When Norma Jeans mother told her the awful story and about a dachshund that had chewed a babys leg off. Norma Jean believed her mother was punishing her, because Mabel had caught her smoking the day before. Norma Jean looked small and helpless to the writer, but Leroy took up for her mother and told Norma Jean that she really did not mean it more than once (page 52). Leroy sided with Norma Jeans mother. That made Leroy the enemy too, because if Norma Jeans mother was the antagonist then Leroy was ri ...

... age as his other’s influence becomes more apparent. ‘When she fretted he understood, and could have no peace. His soul seemed always attentive to her’ is the way their attachment is described; their bond is very strong and very deep. As Paul grew older she never suffered alone for her husband’s faults and what she lacked in life because ‘her children suffered with her’. ‘It hurt the boy keenly, this feeling about her, that she had never had her life’s fulfilment’ so much so that it became his ‘childish aim’ to provide it. When he began to work ‘it was almost as if it were her own li ...

... die, just like the raisin in the sun. Hughes continues to make his point through the symbols of inanimate objects as the poem progresses. In addition, all of the symbolic statements except the final one are similes. In lines four and five, the statement, "Or fester like a sore--And then run?" is extremely symbolic. The visual picture of a sore festering and then finally breaking open and running is again equal to the broken dream of racial equality. The dream of racial equality grows in the body like a sore. When the dream fails, it breaks open and could fall prey to outside poisons. These poisons can lead to destruction. Racial riots and other such instan ...

... for our own benefit at other's expense. I have personally known people to have some power in which they use incorrectly in everyday life. These people become weights to society. They affect the world everyday, many of the world's and the Unites States' problems have arised because of these people. Man will always have greed, it is in human nature...man will always be selfish. These traits can never be extinguished, but at least they can be limited to only certain uses, and maybe man can be accustomed to use these traits the correct way. All over the world this aphorism represents society, and always will. Even in our school I believe this is a valid point by ...

... in inner Africa, which caused him disintegration. Marlow emphasized the virtue of gefficiencyh throughout the story because he thought of it as the only way to survive in the wilderness.

... assumed Phineas to be "bigger than I,"(100) instead of waiting to meet him and then forming an opinion that maybe Phineas would be pleasant. His first impression of him was as a bully, therefore, we think that Gene is afraid of him, which would make him insecure. Another example of Gene's insecurity occurs just after Gene and Phineas meet. "That first day, standing in our comfortless room amid his clothes, he began to talk and I began to listen."(100) This quotation shows that Gene was too afraid to say what he wanted. He did not have enough courage even to interject when Phineas was talking. This shows that Gene was insecure about his ideas and point of view. Thro ...

... the new moon was finally built and in space, it was revealed to the public. Boyle writes: "Something crazy was going on. The shoving had stopped as it had begun, but now, suddenly and inexplicably, the audience started to undress. Right before me, on the platform, in the seats reserved for foreign diplomats, out over the seething lawn, they were kicking off shoes, hoisting shirt fronts and brassieres, dropping cummerbunds and Jockey shorts. And then, incredibly, horribly, they began to clutch at one another in passion, began to stroke, fondle, and lick, humping in the grass, plunging into the bushes, running around like nymphs and satyrs at some mad Bacchanal. ...

... to capture Antigone was his own, and was not backed up by the majority of the people. She feels that Creon is abusing his power as king and dealing with her task to a personal level. Creon's actions are guided by the ideal that states "Man is the measure of all things." The chorus emphasizes this point during the play by stating that "There is nothing beyond (man's) power." Creon believes that the good of man comes before the gods. Setting the example using Polynices' body left unburied is a symbol of Creon's belief. "No man who is his country's enemy shall call himself my friend." This quote shows that leaving the body unburied is done to show respec ...
