Sir Gawain And The Green Knight
Number of words: 1605 - Number of pages: 6.... the downfall of Gawain, which mirrors the downfall of Arthur’s court, as well as man’s fall from grace in the garden.

Inside the tomb of Capulet

Not us.
For they are blinded by tradition and driven by hatred.
O but it matters not.
Soon shall I be with thee and soon shall I once again be merry,
For to live forth be not true life but hell.
Only is life with thee heaven.
And alas,
A choice have I,
Heaven .....

Poetry Assignment
Number of words: 1470 - Number of pages: 6.... In "The Sick Rose" the poet introduces a worm and storm and in "Fog" the poet uses the fog and a cat.

William Blake

Huck does not treat Jim like a slave when they travel together, this shows the reader that Huck views Jim as an equal in most ways.

This conscience is telling him that Miss Watson, Jim’s master, never did anything wrong to him and that he shouldn’t be doing a wrong to her by helping Jim escape. This is a totally different view of Miss .....

Society In Frankenstein
Number of words: 1629 - Number of pages: 6.... Society doesn't kill her, but the ignorance of people does. Society can't kill a person, but it can influence the actions of its people. She is held accountable for a murder she didn't commit. Judgment is passed on her prematurely. I'll admit there was evidence against Justine, and we have the advantage of knowing that she didn't do it. Justine was not exactly a pillar of the community, so some reasonable evidence and the fact that human behavior tends to view people that are in the lower-class as being guilty of something, was all that was needed. .....
