.... away to college. Then she had told me they were old-fashioned, out of style." Dee does not appreciate things unless it is for her own self-gratification. After being away at college, she is demanding to be given the quilts that her grandmother and aunt have made, for she now sees these precious items as fashionable objects. "Dee wanted nice things. At sixteen she had a style of her own and knew what style was." She has a selfish mind of her own. Mama is more simple. She learned about life by working hard. "I was always better at a man's job. I used to love to mi .....


Pride And Prejudice
Number of words: 1456 - Number of pages: 6

.... extremely dull since the two cannot even communicate with each other. "Mr. Bennet was so odd a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice, that the experience of three and twenty years had been insufficient to make his wife understand his character" (Austen 5). In fact, Mr. Bennet entertains himself with witty comments that Mrs. Bennet can never seem to comprehend. For example, when one of the Bennet's daughters, Kitty, is coughing, Mrs. Bennet foolishly scolds her and asks to "have a little compassion on my nerves" (Austen 5). Mr. Bennet .....


Candide-purposeful Satire
Number of words: 661 - Number of pages: 3

.... that there is no effect without a cause and hat, in this best of all possible worlds....(1)" Pangloss goes on to say that everything has its purpose and things are made for the best. For example, legs were created for the purpose of wearing stockings (2). Because of his "great knowledge," Candide at this point a very naive and impressionable youth, regards Pangloss as the greatest philosopher in the world, a reverence that will soon be challenged by the harshness of reality. A contrast to the views of Pangloss is the character Martin. Martin, a pessimist, is a .....


Black Like Me
Number of words: 1895 - Number of pages: 7

.... shelter as a white man anywhere by paying money, but as a black man he could be cold, starving in a rich area of town, and wouldn't be able to get food or shelter. Griffin also didn't know how to respond to white people of the time, so he would probably have to talk to black people to learn that. I also after his story was published there would probably be retaliation from hate groups. I also want to know why Griffin met with the Federal Bureau of Investigation men. By meeting with the Federal Bureau of Investigation the most they could do is tell him not t .....


Edmund In King Lear
Number of words: 1497 - Number of pages: 6

.... land among his three daughters: Goneril, Regan, and Cordelia. Cordelia, King Lear's youngest daughter, is almost immediately dispossessed of the rights to her land, and is cast from the kingdom after she does not profess her love to her father right away. With Cordelia stripped of her heir, her share is cut amongst the remaining daughters to be ruled by them and their husbands. The Earl of Gloucester has a similar problem to that of Lear, since his two sons were internally battling for right to control his lands at the hands of his death. Edmund, who is the y .....


The Goddess Remembered
Number of words: 848 - Number of pages: 4

.... women developed agriculture, and the domestication of animals." was one of the most disturbing remarks made in the film. To me, the understanding that "only recently, in the past 6,000 years, has the woman's perspective been ignored", is something that nobody can say with any certainty. Some of the more factual issues discussed in the film include "Venus Figures". They were first called "Venus" figures by the Marquis de Vibraye in the 1860's and the term has subsequently been used to represent all ancient depiction's of (usually corpulent) women. These figurin .....


Heart Of Darkness 13
Number of words: 654 - Number of pages: 3

.... not seem aware these things are wanted for the work of the world." (50) This passage is describing the way a certain group of people lived in the jungle. They pushed aside their morals and ideals to turn over a profit in this undeveloped land where they couldn't be stopped because of the lack of laws and consequences. In Europe, where people follow rules and regulations, these men are nothing, but in the jungle they are able to shine. This leads me to decide what I believe each of these locations represents. "We penetrated deeper and deeper into the heart of .....


Madness In Macbeth And Hamlet
Number of words: 915 - Number of pages: 4

.... some of the minor characters. The issue of madness in any form of writing shows the reader that there must be something plaguing the characters to make them act so foolishly. In Hamlet, this foolish person would be the daughter of Polonius, Ophilia. She puts on quite a display for the reader when she comes into the castle and appears very upset and as many would say, "mad". She enters into the room and begins to sing and respond to everyone with a different verse. Then she sings, "You must sing "A-down a-down, and you call him a-down-a." O' how the wheel .....
