Romeo And Juliet
Number of words: 392 - Number of pages: 2.... lives
miserable. Romeo and Juliet would not have been able to see each
other. Both of these families were very stubborn and there was hardly
any thing that would have made them become friends. In the prologue
we learn that the only way the "strife" could be ended was by the
deaths of Romeo and Juliet. "Doth with their death bury their
parent's strife". (Romeo & Juliet, Prologue, l.8) Neither the
Montagues or the Capulets would have accepted the marriage. Keeping
the marriage a secret caused Romeo and Juliet to turn to other people .....

The Catcher In The Rye: A Classic
Number of words: 1045 - Number of pages: 4.... went to the show he said, "At the end of the first act we went out with all the other jerks for a cigarette. What a deal that was. You never saw so many phonies in all your life, everybody smoking their ears off and talking about the play so that everybody could hear how sharp they were." (126) This shows how Holden didn't like people trying to show off. This style of writing, which lets the reader know exactly what the main character thinks, helps make the book into a classic. It gives the reader a better understanding of Holden and how he feels and why he a .....

Moby Dick
Number of words: 10442 - Number of pages: 38.... people and disgust some" by keeping so close, and with so little diversification, to "the same dark idea." Would he have an audience receptive to his peculiar view of things? The Greek and Elizabethan dramatists or Racine or even the poet of Job could count on an audience culturally predisposed through myth, theater, or racial view to accept at once a drama of direness. Hawthorne had to make his own audience, to lead it by easy stages, as it were, into the dark idea. Hence the familiar, reassuring tone of the Custom House introduction, where the only dire events .....

Catcher In The Rye: Theme Of The World Having An Outward Appearance
Number of words: 2265 - Number of pages: 9.... and crap." This proves that he is a slob to "never clean it or
anything." If you think about it that's even worst than Old Ackley. At
least Ackley knew that he had a problem, that he need to do something about
his face; but Stradlater thought that he was a great guy. He actually
thought that there was nothing wrong with never washing his razor. I think
that what mad, Holden so made Stradlater was perpetrating in other word
being "phony" every time he went out all GQ after using that filthy razor.
Another instance is when he calls that girl in New York, Fait .....

Treasure Island: Teamwork Overcomes Greed
Number of words: 688 - Number of pages: 3.... the characters had to deal with on board. However, after hearing about the pirates’ plan of mutiny for them, the Squire knows he and the Captain must put aside their differences. They know that they need each other to survive and they have to get along and cooperate if they want to live. This shows the high maturity level of both these characters. Although most like to think age shows maturity level, the pirates are perfect examples of grown men who have not learned enough to live a life based on good morals and values.
Secondly, Jim Hawkins played an imp .....

"A Man For All Seasons": Common Attitude
Number of words: 422 - Number of pages: 2.... happiness in life, it may lead to eternal
punishment after death. In the modern world, this philosophy is still the
best way to go for some. Today, another teen-ager is abusing an illegal
drug because "everyone else is doing it." If the teen does the drug, then
his personal life will be better because he has gained more friends. Even
though he knows that it is illegal and thus, morally wrong, he takes the
easiest route, and "goes with the flow."
Thomas More is an extraordinary man, because instead of giving in
to the pressures of the King of England and ev .....

The Tempest Caliban Character
Number of words: 691 - Number of pages: 3.... Caliban is more of an animal rather than a monster. While he is labeled a monster throughout the play due to his appearance, he is in fact an animal. He is not inherently evil or malicious, but relies on his own instincts and skills that he has learned to adapt to his surrounding and survive. What is vital to survival in society is not necessarily important in nature; and vice versa.
In nature only the most basic aspects of survival are required. Nature is all about survival, at any cost. Society is not. Civilization was developed out of convenience with .....
