" -Martin Luther King The stereotypes in this novel are fairly common but the fact that they are accepted and used so openly in public is what astonishes me. I .....

.... Thom's version of the event is similar in many ways to the actual account. Thom was very accurate in his description of the actual massacre that occurred at Draper's Meadow. In the account written by John Ingles, Sr., he names the people that were either taken captive of killed by the Indians. He writes that his mother and her two children, Thomas and George, his Aunt Draper, and Henry Leonard were taken prisoner by the Shawnees. John Ingles also states in his narrative that Colonel Patton, Casper Barger, his Grandmother Draper and child were killed (8). In .....

.... instead he just says what comes to mind. In scene 3, line 118 he says you will never marry her while she lives, right after his first discussion about Antigone. In lines 142-150 he summarizes his plans for Antigone, in which he thinks of right after talking with his son.

Tolkien, like mostly every other author has one main, specific goal during the exposition of the story, which is to capture the reader's attention. In the beginning of "The Lord of the Rings," Tolkien presents events of happiness, mystery, tales of power, chase, by evil riders, bat .....

.... before their destiny is fulfilled. This novel is about how a family is able to survive, for a time, in solitude. So, it is appropriate that the setting is a newly settled village, which is deep in the jungle, away from the world that has condemned them. is an almost magical story where the past, present and future seem to merge into one. It tells the story of a family, rather than an individual, and how two people’s mistake results in their descendant’s downfall. If the setting was in an urban environment, the story would have made no sense, or .....
