Number of words: 349 - Number of pages: 2.... are about to shoot, a
tree branch from above crashes upon the men. The feeling of suspense flees,
and a feeling of sorrow and pity for Georg and Ulrich fills one's heart.
The reader feels immense sympathy for the situation: how many times in
one's own life has a mere squabble gotten out of control and wrecked
everything? The men lay, crippled beneath the tree in the cold and realize
the foolishness of their ways. Ulrich says to Georg, "Neighbor, do as you
please if your men come first. It was a fair compact. But as for me, I've
changed my mind. If my men are .....

Number of words: 1300 - Number of pages: 5.... fact that Lennie does not cup his hands for a drink, he without thinking, plunges his entire head into the water leads to support to the idea of a slightly slow, child-like, innocent man.

Huck Finn
Number of words: 819 - Number of pages: 3.... The way they acted and the way they thought made them seem almost real. To me, Huck stands out the most. He acts like a young boy who is trying to help out people in need of help like Jim. He was friendly, kind, and willing to stand up for what he believed in, good or bad. With the many characters in this book, a few helped bring out the story. The main character, Huckleberry Finn, was an adventurous boy who was kind, smart, and shrewd but, no matter where he went, he always got into trouble. Jim, who was a run away slave, was a very kind man. He is very s .....

Number of words: 604 - Number of pages: 3.... such views in mind, Holden begins alone in the story, and he
stays as such throughout the entire story. He establishes concrete
individual existence as he abandons school and goes to live in New York by
himself. He understands that life must not be lived as a game, although he
agrees with Mr. Spencer in order not to sound inferior to him. A Danish
philosopher and existentialist, Soren Kierkegaard, once wrote, "I must find
a truth that is true for me… the idea for which I can live or die." Holden
stays true to this statement as he leads a life, not .....

Death Of A Salesman - "The American Dream: What It Means To Me"
Number of words: 478 - Number of pages: 2.... rain. I can do those things in many countries, America is not the only one. I wish more people in America would have these type of dreams. Instead, people are slaving for companies for more than half of their lives only to retire and be too old to hike Half-Dome in Yosemite, or play softball with their children.
