.... galaxies for three years. In the rocket was a holographic device that would display messages and visions from his home planet. The rocket finally crashed in a field in Smallville, Kansas. Luckily, at that exact time, an older couple, Jonathan and Martha Kent, were driving by. The impact of the rocket gave their truck a flat tire. When the Kents saw the little boy in the spaceship, they thought he was part of "some cruel Russian space experiment" (Kents 1). They were going to turn him into an orphanage, but decided that no one wanted him, so they called hi .....

.... the very first line of "The Dover Bitch," the introspection of the Matthew Arnold’s poem is completely deconstructed. The parody is a casual conversation that one might hear in a bar. The speaker could easily be the local bartender in any town. He indulges a listener and begins to tell a tale about a woman whose only thought about her time on the cliffs of Dover with Matthew was how nice his whiskers would have felt on her neck. In the original poem the girl is there with Matthew but barely mentioned because he is too wrapped up in his own thoughts to not .....

.... Primarily it tells us setting; it gives us an idea of where this meeting takes place (as far as this passage is concerned). The "wood" being important as it had Hellish connotations in those days, as people believed it was haunted by the "black man" [Satan], making the woods (Hell) a meeting place for sinners (Arthur and Hester). The other effect being the pun on the word "dim", Nathaniel Hawthorne chose dim for a reason (it would serve the reader well to remember Author's last name is Dimmesdale), to emphasize the mood, and equally important to give a .....

.... of his ways. Thus because John Proctor had a way out of his trap and opted not to take it because of selfish pride he is not tragic. Tragedy has been said to be the "progress from ignorance, through a cycle of suffering, to enlightenment" (Merle 4). But what exactly does that mean and who would fit this bill of tragedy? Arthur Miller was quoted by the essayist Koon as saying "The common man is apt a subject for tragedy as kings" (Koon 5) And the same idea was reaffirmed by George Lillo who said "that tragedy need not concern itself soley with kings" (as quote .....

.... also shows how important it is to have good morals. “I loved to take her hair down and she sat on the bed and kept very still, except suddenly she would dip down to kiss me while I was doing it...inside a tent or behind a falls.” This novel is very graphic when it comes to them having sex or while he is at the whorehouses during his leave time. Many things in this novel are inappropriate for children and adults. In more ways then one, Hemingway didn’t like women very much, one example is in chapter nine where he takes page and a half to descr .....

.... not make a substantial impact on a reader. This word itself may be quite offensive; particularly in the beginning of the book, but towards the middle and end, the racial term is not used to degrade people of the African American race. The most prevalent misuse of the word “nigger” is in the introductory part of the novel. This racial slur is mostly abused by Huck’s father, Pap. Pap represents the average misinformed “redneck.” In each appearance that Pap had in the book, he had criticizing words for whatever was going on .....

.... and neither shied from doing what was necessary to complete their quest. Both men were also very modest and were able to except help when needed, either form gods or from other mortals. Jason did not hesitate to ask for help from the princess Medea. Odysseus accepted help from a simple sheep herder in order to reclaim his home. Although these two heroes had similar adventures and shared similar qualities, they were very different. The first difference we notice between these two heroes is their lineage. Like most Greek heroes, Jason was a direct desce .....

.... Verne expresses within him in just the first chapters. Verne expresses the stereotypical Englishmen, the seeker of adventure, popular in his time. Almost jokingly does Verne come to this conclusion, he being a Frenchman, in which all Englishmen will go to the corners of the Earth to find an area to “Europeanize”, find a wild beast to market from, or a project to throw their pounds at. Fogg’s endless persistence, is further shown in his composure while great delays push him back, tragedies occur around him, and loved ones are lost repeatedly. His endless hop .....
