... the South stood for in this aspect. Yet, other than this, he did share much of the same values of his native homeland. He wore a yellow ribbon around his neck, a clean white shirt and tan pants, all straight and defined as was his southern accent. Finally, his father was an alcoholic who abused him, therefore he was loyal to his mother. All of these aspects define the character of Tennessee Williams. Ernest Hemingway was a man who believes that he differs greatly from Tennessee Williams, but comes to realize that they share a common battle. Ernest Hemingway was depicted as a man who enjoys being a traditional man - - drinking beer and relaxing as a male on t ...

Aside from inspiring and comforting Sean, Angel also motivates him by preaching to him that education is the means to a successful life. Sean positions his burdensome backpack next to his bed and lies down for a moment to clear his head before starting homework. “How am I going to get through next week,” thinks Sean, “school alone puts enough stress upon every student’s shoulder, why do they have to test us at the end of each semester?

... they were useful because they helped me to understand the plot and the characters motives and actions easier and better. But they were annoying because there were so many of them, and at times Tennessee Williams was overly descriptive in his stage directions. This play made me think about how people with disabilities are treated. I had always thought that in the thirties and forties, being disabled was not accepted. But after reading this play, I am starting to think that I might be wrong after all, because Laura seemed not to be treated any differently as a result of her disability. What surprised me about this play, was the fact that Jim was not married to Em ...

... was effective in the house; so effective that the mother and the daughter conformed to its moral and religious requirements cheerfully, contentedly, happily, unquestionably. To do this was become second nature to them. And so in this peaceful heaven there were no clashings, no irritations, no fault-finding, no heart-burnings. In it a lie had no place. In it a lie was unthinkable. In it speech was restricted to absolute truth, iron-bound truth, implacable and uncompromising truth, let the resulting consequences be what they might. At last, one day, under stress of circumstances, the darling of the house sullied her lips with a lie--and confessed it, with t ...

... of Sammy’s imagination is exemplified through his description of the other shoppers in A & P. Sammy refers to the shoppers as “sheep” twice in the story. Once as he views the customers continuing to push their carts down the aisle only glancing slightly at the girls and continuing to shop. Sammy “bets you could set off dynamite in an A & P and the people would by large keep reaching and checking oatmeal off their lists and muttering…” The second time is when the girls go to the check out lane and Lengel starts to explain the policy. “All this while, the customers had been showing up with their carts but, you know sheep, seeing a scene, they had all bunched up ...

... after killing Polonius and manipulating the deaths of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. His reaction upon realizing that he had killed Polonius was not one of utter shock or one of regret; instead, Hamlet proclaims farewell to the “wretched, rash, intruding fool” (III.iv.33). Also, Hamlet tells Horatio that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern “are not near [his] conscience” (V.ii.58), even after he has ordered the killing of the two. Even though Hamlet may sound cold and heartless, it is not so because in Hamlet’s perspective, he was merely trying to rid the court of corrupted fools as it is part of his scheme of purifying the court. HamletR ...

... than the aforementioned one. I believe that if the reader were to take a deeper look into all of the symbolism in the story, one would find that the summation of all the symbolism is equal to not only the struggle of this black boy, but the struggle of blacks at the time in which the story takes place. I think that if one were to analyze the grandfathers dying words, one would find the view of most conformist black Americans. The only way for a black person to excel at that time was to conform to the white society. Any rebels that tried to stand up for their rights were most likely killed by anti-black groups, such as the KKK. There was one symbol in the stor ...
