.... with her. The situation is very similar to "The Reeve's Tale." In that tale the Miller lets John and Alan, two scholars, who lost their horse from the Miller's own doing, stay at his house. However, since the two boys are "Headstrong…and eager for a joke" (110), Alan proceeds to rape the Miller's daughter, while John sleeps with the Miller's wife. It is apparent that these situations are very similar, in that the scholars are having adulterous sexual intercourse with both the Carpenter's and the Miller's wives. This similarity shows how the Miller and the Reeve .....

.... Although Scout's conceptions about his [Jem's] behavior may have been wrong in some respects, she was right to recognize he wasn't acting his usual self. I believe these behavioral changes may have been because of Jem acquiring a mask. He began wearing this mask around the start of his teenage years, as a result of pressures from peers, and a fear of not being accepted. Even in these different social and economic times, the 1930's, issues like popularity and social acceptance were real and present, just as they are today.It is true that many teenag .....

.... guilty. However, the question of K's guilt is not important to Kafka's intention to show his idea that "the innocent and the guilty [are] both executed without distinction in the end." In Kafka's beliefs, the courts treat all men as if they were guilty. Joseph K is a prime example of this treatment. He is never told about his crime, nor of how the trial is going. He merely waits until he is summoned, and if he is not, he is still forced to live his life according to the courts. This is what Kafka believes happens to all individuals; they are controlled by .....

.... The Wicked Lord (George's grandfather) hated his sons, so he set about ruining Newstead so his sons would have no proper estate.

The Byron estate was mostly tied up in lawsuits, but Mrs. Byron finally got her son a decent income. He was sent to Dr. Glennie's Academy at Dulwich and then to Harrow, where he was tormented by the other boys (www.geocities.com/athens/delphi). He went back to Newstead f .....

.... follow and show that he is actually a fraud. Drawing "more than the parson in a month or two" and singing "an Offertory" the best, reveals his greed and self-indulgence with money (724,730). The first impression of "gentle" and "noble" allow the Pardoner to seem humble and nice, while he is actually his greedy, sleek nature as he sells fake relics (728). Next, Chaucer focuses the description of the Pardoner on his head and the relics he sells. The "hair as yellow as wax," "no hood upon his head," "a little cap," "bulging eyeballs," and "no beard" reveals the .....
