.... the society that the boys were beginning to form. Jack takes this decision to heart and so he resents most of the decisions made by Ralph and he eventually splits off and forms his own tribe of savages. The boys eventually all join this tribe except Piggy and Ralph. The larger number of boys in Jack's tribe mean that hey can hunt pigs and obtain all the food that they need while excluding the two outsiders. With the breakdown of one tribe and the forming of another the boys depend more on the belief of survival of the fittest. This belief is built upon on the n .....

.... giant house. This fissure is a form of foreshadowing and also is a way to show how Roderick Usher’s mind is cracking and how he is slowly going mad. As the story ends, the “fissure rapidly widened”(172) and the house crumbles to the ground. Also, the setting and setting add to the terror of the story. The House of Usher is a very gloomy, moss-covered house that is large and gothic looking. The weather throughout the story is gloomy and, toward the end of the story, a storm arrives. As Poe describes it, it is a “dull, dark soundless day”(p.160). The bad .....

.... in reincarnation. That her inner-communicating self, if not revealed in this body, may be revealed in the next. The belief that herÔ that everything will work out, eventually. Mrs. Dalloway before the party remarks that, 'If it were now to die, 'twere now be most happy.'"(p. 184) Clarissa portrays her sense of happiness as something not monstrumental or grandiose, but rather quite simple. She can be happy in throwing a party. Clarissa has friends. Her parties are to unite the people, who would otherwise never speak to each other. Clarissa communicates ycan, .....

.... plays both for the theater and for court performances (The Tragedies, 17). Shakespeare didn’t attend college, so in order to broaden his education, he studied the ways of a gentleman and read widely. He looked to Cambridge-educated playwright Christopher Marlowe, as a mentor. Marlowe was the same age as Shakespeare, but who preceded him in skillfully combining drama with poetry. In many plays throughout his career, Shakespeare paid tribute to Marlowe, though ultimately he eclipsed Marlowe as a dramatist (The Tragedies, 17). Shakespeare is the greatest .....

.... boots that have been candle-cases, one buckled another laced; an old rusty sworde…with a broken hilt and chapeless; his horse hipped…with an old mothy saddle (Act III Scene II) This depiction of Petruchio conforms to Shakespeare’s technique of using false realities, in order to create humour. This can also be seen in the false identity that Petruchio puts forth in his quest for dominion over Kate (that of the eccentric egomaniac). However, these false realities are not enough by themselves, as the audience has nothing to go by but what they see before them, and .....

.... in a game, not the money hungry animals many of them have become. They have so much money, most even making multiple millions of dollars a year. They should be happy with that, but of course they are not. If one guy makes a little more another wants to top that and so on this cycle continues to the astronomical salaries that some athletes are now making. They are not happy with what they have and in turn, thus all they can think about is the fact that they want more because someone else is making that much more than they are. Samuel Johnson is so ver .....

.... us of a man with a dream. As imperfection has it this man’s dream did not come true. But his friend’s similar dream , however, did. The narrator tells us through a blanket of jealousy how this man was perpetually annoying, and how, “there was nothing generous about this fellow and his greatness.” Like many of Twain’s writings this excerpt shows us a man with convictions as he looks at a seemingly good example and puts it under a different light. Convictions that shine through in what could quite possibly be a reali .....
