.... what he sees around him are similar to eachother in a way that they all make reference to the fact that the day is going by and it will soon reach dusk. Like when he said “the soft dew of morning which had glistened and twinkled on the blades of grass which grew in clumps by the side of road quietly disappeared.” This indicates that the day is going on. At another point in the story the author makes reference to the shadows saying that they have grown longer, which would indicate the sun was setting. Also, the author never exactly comes ri .....

.... remarks, "What're yuh skeered of" You was a worm once" (4). Melinda replies by exclaiming "that's sinful talk" and "I'm gonna tell my pa" (4). The two children ponder their beliefs and are influenced by the people around them. The thinking process begins when very young. Children constantly ask the question "Why?" Howard and Melinda begin to wonder what is the right belief. Another example of the theme occurs during the questioning in act two. During the questioning, Drummond desperately tries to establish that everyone "has the right to think (64). Drummond says that a man is on trial and "thre .....

.... Buck away from his home. Buck was then sold, and thrown in a baggage car. This would be the beginning of a new, cruel life for Buck. On his ride to wherever he was going, Buck\'s pride was severely damaged, if not completely wiped out by men who used tools to restrain him. No matter how many times Buck tried to lunge, he would just be choked into submission at the end. When Buck arrived at his destination, there was snow everywhere, not to mention the masses of Husky and wolf dogs. Buck was thrown into a pen with a man who had a club. This is where .....

.... paths, often linked by their contradictions, end with the same conclusion for each man on the subject of immortality; that no amount of knowledge or innocence, power or humility, honoring or sinning, will achieve them immortality in the sense of a life without death. Eternal life for a mortal lies in memory by one’s friends and family after one’s death. When Adam is created in the second chapter (and second creation story) of Genesis out of the dust by the newly created world of God, he is the most innocent being ever known. It says of he and Eve, & .....

.... nothing else, whether it be in the material, social, or emotional sense. So-called faith gives them possession, yet places responsibility in the hands of a higher force. And in that, they are hoping to find freedom in knowing that their lives are less empty and without direction. It may seem that we can hardly relate the televangelist audience of the 20th Century to poetic views on Christianity of the 18th Century, but surprisingly, there lies many similarities between the two.. Both Anne Bradstreet and Phyllis Wheatley appeal to Christianity after thei .....

.... belongs in some earthen utopia. Unfortunately, it has no bearing on the modern world. Though the beliefs of Bacon expressed in "On Revenge" fulfill the traits of characters such as Medea, they neglect the human thrive for meaningless vengeance in characters such as Shakespeare’s Iago.

This theme is expressed through the character of Medea, who fits directly into the mold laid out in the guidelines of "Of Revenge". Medea’s search for r .....

.... the Greeks employed the works of Homer. Homer's Iliad and Odyssey are the most famous of the Greek . These epic poems tell the story of the Trojan War and the events and famous people surrounding the war. Throughout the Iliad, the universality of the poem is evident as concepts of war and man vs. man conflicts are expressed through the lives of Achilles, Hector, and Patroclus. Another epic quality in the Iliad is the invocation of the muse in the beginning of the story. This use of the muse is one of the specific characteristics of an epic poem. The .....

This also changes towards the end of the novel when Nell is needed to take over these things when Eva is pregnant, such as using the rifle to kill a wild pig for food. Both girls show compassion towards each other, but it is Nell that needs or craves this fellowship and interest of other people.
