.... person and this was probably to spell out that Jake was an observer and was thus aware of what was written on the pages. There is a scene towards the end of the book where Jake finds all of his friends eating at a restaurant and thinks to himself that he is too far behind to catch up. Jake always seems behind, or at least only a marginal player put so in his position because of his injury. He must have had relations with Brett before the injury and was a "player" before it, so this leads to the assumption that Jake purposely removed himself from being a participa .....

.... though they were dumping harmless chemicals into our water supply. The relatively inert compounds when combined with other forms in the environment formed deadly compounds. In Silent Spring, Rachel talks about one case where the chemicals were caught in a storm drain, when they were flushed out, they mixed together and went into nearby streams, and contaminated the nearby lake and killed all the fish for 8 miles downstream. The government just didn’t have the research to realize that harmless chemicals when combined with other harmless chemicals had an .....

.... was self-conscious, he was not. He just did not care about what anyone thought of him or was saying about him as long as he was having a good time. Gene, one of his friends, talks about how the snow began to take possession of everything at Devon like the war took possession everything in the world. “Leper Lepellier didn’t suspect this. It was not in fact evident to anyone at first. But Leper stands out for me as the person who was most often and most emphatically taken by surprise, by this and every other shift in our life at Devon,” (85). Anything tha .....

.... by pap got too handy with his hick'ry and I couldn't stand it. I was all over with welts." Here the reader can observe the ultimate failure of an uncivilized person. Pap is an alcoholic, a dead beat and a racist. Nevertheless, society also considered Huck "uncivilized" because he did not wear shoes, did not always attend school and he smoked. Society criticized Huck as uncivilized due to physical appearance when really Huck turned out to be more civilized than any other character in the novel because he learns how to respect Jim. Through the ironic .....

.... popular and you will not want" is his interpretation of the American dream. The hero in "Fences," a "flawed giant" is a garbageman of fifty-six named Troy Maxson. Once a professional baseball player, he was unable to play in the major leagues because of his African-American roots. There is no aspect of his life in which he does not feel constricted or fenced in. Because he is black, he is not allowed to drive the garbage truck but must always work behind, lifting and dumping. The beginning of the play marks a strong victory for Troy, after complaining to the un .....

.... his pants stuck on the fence. It was Boo that sewed them up, and when the neighbors’ house was on fire. It was cold out, and Boo came to scout with a blanket. He wanted to be there for people. Another argument about Boo is that he killed someone. I have many sides to this topic. It’s possible that Boo killed Mr. Ewell out of hate. Killed him because he was a petty drunk, and none the less, just a horrible man. Then again, Boo could have killed Mr. Ewell for the children’s sake. Some people may say, “Oh well! He killed someone and that’s that! It’s a h .....

.... busy thinking. An example of this is seen in Act III, when Hamlet has his knife over the head of Claudius, prepared to murder him, and talks himself out of it. Instead, Hamlet writes a play in which the actors play out the same story the ghost tells Hamlet. His plan is to study Claudius’s reaction to the play to determine his guilt. Even after Hamlet decides his uncle is guilty, Hamlet fails to take immediate action. This would have been a prime opportunity to confront Claudius, but Hamlet seems more interested in patting himself on the back than se .....
