.... bring her friends” (Walker 63), letting everyone know that she thought she was too good to continue to take part in her heritage. Maggie was portrayed as a flat character.

She is seen as an older women set in her ways from life experiences, and from what she had been taught growing up black in the south. She made up her mind that the two family quilts would go to Maggie and she did not give it a second thought. Dee is also th .....

.... injustice of society develops along with the adventures that Huck and Jim have. The ugly reflection of society we see should make us question the world we live in, and only the journey down the river provides us with that chance. Throughout the book, we see the hypocrisy of society. The first character we come across with that trait is Miss Watson. Miss Watson constantly corrects Huck for his unacceptable behavior, but Huck doesn't understand why, "That is just the way with some people. They get down on a thing when they don't know nothing about it" (2). Late .....

.... ignore common sense. Gimpel was a fool despite his self-denial. As a necessity of his community Gimpel served the purpose of bread maker and as in all societies he served also as the scapegoat. Gimpel could have been an integral part of his society but instead he was untrue to himself and he was lost. The townspeople treated Gimpel much like the court jesters of the renaissance period, turning the baker into the village harlequin. Although the target of many pranks and antics, they were not directed at him for intentional harm. He was the target though due .....

.... romances, but the Gawain-Poet was the first to combine them into a meaningful structure. The latter places the poem in relationship with Anglo-Saxon alliterative poetry, an important part of the Gawain-Poet's cultural and moral heritage. Both in the poet's use of alliterative verse and in his characterization of Gawain, it is apparent that Gawain has much in common with the Anglo-Saxon hero, such as Beowulf. The strange, hostile world he encounters upon leaving Camelot, the many tests he endures, the crafty machinations of the Green Knight, and the sexual temp .....

For Hamlet to be perceived as a noble and faithful son, he would have to kill his father’s murderer.

.... and robbed him of all his possessions. Perhaps the play is neither pro-Jewish, nor pro-Christian, since neither the Jew or the Christian are perfect, they both have faults. After reading The Merchant of Venice and seeing how unjustly poor Shylock was treated by his Christian contemporaries, I can't help but wonder if Shakespeare was actually trying to show the world how hypocritical members of any religion could be, be it Jewish, Christian, or anything else. For, although these two disliked each other based mainly on differences of religious doctrine, the .....

.... ink , to the effect that she no longer went out at all. The tax notice was also enclosed, without comment," (40-41). Miss Emily was convinced that she had no taxes in Jefferson because before the Civil War the South didn't have to pay. This change occurred when the North took over the South.
