.... who cared more about the elderly and their heritage than the new ways bestowed on them. Manolin symbolized the disciples of Jesus. The ones who would follow him to his death and then go out and preach his ways. He believes in the old man and takes charge and tells all the other fisherman to stay away from Santiago after his return. He would take care of the old man when he said to him “Keep warm old man. Remember we are in September.” Manolin only wanted good things for Santiago, he did not want anyone to hurt him or put him down for his accom .....

.... cause that is so beautifully communicated to the reader in Everyday Use. I understood why some characters were unsure of themselves. I was puzzled by why some did not feel surer of themselves and their heritage. I was also surprised that some had the pride that could carry them through any situation. Maggie is a classic example of poor self-esteem. She has little pride in herself. She is not as pretty or smart as her sister is. She was also scared in a fire. She has spent her entire life playing second fiddle or at least feeling like it. Dee wants the quilts th .....

.... and what they where threatening to bring about. Perhaps the book seems so bleak because the events in the book are a somewhat logical projection from current conditions and historical environment that Orwell observed in 1948. Perhaps people would be more comftorble with the book if they could rule out in their minds the possibility of the profecy becoming a reality.

.... theme, plot, setting, or characters. This is extremely true in Great Expectations. The main character in the novel, Pip, portrays a life that is similar to the life of Charles Dickens, his creator. It is evident that Charles Dickens drew on personal experiences in Great Expectations. Pip and Dickens have numerous similarities beginning in their childhood and ending in their adulthood. Both appear to be unloved by their mothers. Both of their mothers died when they were young. Their fathers did not help the situations. They both were abandoned by the .....

.... is a kind of fish.) It all started when Elmer Drimsdale, school genius invented somethingthat is sort of like a television broadcaster. He didn't know it really worked!!!! When Bruno and Boots found out their school was broke and needed more money, Bruno began to think up schemes to put their school on the map.All his attempts seemed to fail, so he vented his anger on the television broadcaster, not knowing it actually worked. He accidently broadcasted many announcements, declaring 'The Fish' will seek his revenge. During these broadcasts, the video camera was focused on a poster of a salmon. The pol .....

.... is when Scout uses profanity in front of Uncle Jack. To deal with this situation, Atticus tells Uncle Jack that if they don’t pay attention to her she’ll get over this "stage". I believe it takes a lot more control to ignore the comment and continue doing what you were as opposed to punishing the child for such a minor incident. By taking this approach to the problem, it shows that Atticus took the time to assess the problem before taking any action. If she didn’t understand what it meant then there is no point in punishing her. More times than not, chi .....

.... that man wanted most was to be with the divine. In order to do this, he had to achieve salvation. The simplest way to achieve salvation was to buy it. The character of the Pardoner is truly one of the books most evil-hearted and despicable, for he is the person who can “sell” salvation. He takes total advantage of his position intimidating people into buying his pardons, indulgences, and holy relics. The Pardoner has no real concern for the sinners, he only wants his money, as shown on page 243, where he says “Out come the pence, and specially .....
