.... wordy, Segal manages to "Go into great detail about the character’s personalities and feelings towards one another." (J.Leavitt) Segal’s original style of writing allowed readers to laugh as well as cry with the characters as though they were along with them. Erich Segal begins his novel by informing the readers of the tragic death of a "twenty-five year old girl", who by the second page, readers can identify as Jenny Cavilleri, a "wisecracking Radcliffe music major". Even though well aware of the ill-fated destiny of this beautiful young woman, readers will still cry as the heroine .....

.... that part of these great characteristics stem from her overall vision of the universe, which she saw as interconnected and which she sought to embrace. Truly she must be looked upon as a pioneer for the simple fact that she was first of all a women at a time when male dominance was absolutely the standard and she was multidimensional in all her endeavors. She was a female celebrity, who exposed her talents and expressions to the world. The fact that she was a female painter and the first of her kind also says a great deal about her instinct and willfulness to vow expression to the world .....

.... "civilized" people of the society around him. He disbelieves what societal beliefs have been ingrained in his mind since his birth, which is shown by his close friendship with Jim, a runaway slave. The river is the only form of separation from this society which Huck has access to, but it still does not completely separate them from what they disbelieve in. Although "the river allows [them] some measure of freedom at once, the moment they set foot on Jackson's Island or the raft," as Marx says, and although "only on the raft do they have a chance to practice that idea of brotherhood to .....

.... families were very stubborn and there was hardly any thing that would have made them become friends. In the prologue we learn that the only way the "strife" could be ended was by the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. "Doth with their death bury their parent's strife". (Romeo & Juliet, Prologue, l.8) Neither the Montagues or the Capulets would have accepted the marriage. Keeping the marriage a secret caused Romeo and Juliet to turn to other people for help. Sometimes these people gave them the wrong advice or just betrayed them. The Nurse was one of these char .....

.... get to its goal much faster. It is remarkable that the advocates of the slaves is a fugitive slave, in the “person of Frederick Douglass” and that despite numerous oppressions in slavery, they have a human spirit so strong and steadfast that no power could crush it. It is also to be understand that it was slavery that darkened the mind, crippled the intellects, debase their moral nature and “obliterate all traces of their relationship to mankind” and not because the slaves of African descent were intellectually impaired. Mr. Oconnell stated before the Loyal National Repeal Associat .....

.... commissioned him a job aboard the fleet and of how he was sent down as an “emissary of light” to bring solace and transformation to an otherwise backward nation.

.... book, but never really talks about it until the end of the story after Scout already realizes it through all her adventures. Every summer, the boy next door comes to visit his aunt. His name is Dill. Jem, Scout and Dill, as children, find their daily childish pleasure in harassing the most mysterious character in the book Boo Radley. As Scout would say, “He went out at night when the moon was down and peeped into peoples’ windows.” Later they found out that that was obviously untrue; they were just uneducated about Boo. In the book, Atticus, whom I might add is a well-respected law .....

.... are at the top of the food chain. But if Lemule Gulliver is satirized, so are the Houyhnhnms, whose voices sound like the call of castrati. They walk on two legs instead of four, and seem to be much like people. As Gulliver says, "It was with the utmost astonishment that I witnessed these creatures playing the flute and dancing a Vienese waltz. To my mind, they seemed like the greatest humans ever seen in court, even more dextrous than the Lord Edmund Burke" (162). As this quote demonstrates, Gulliver is terribly impressed, but his admiration for the Houyhnhnms is short-lived because they ar .....

.... alone, so Holmes sends Watson to Devonshire with Sir Henry. As I read through the first 7 or 8 chapters of this Sherlock Holmes mystery, I noticed how well Sir Arthur Conan Doyle can describe the characters as well as the scenery in a few short paragraphs. He also introduced the plot of the story in the first paragraph. As I read on I realized how much I enjoyed this book. Im a fan of mystery books and that is most likely the reason I could stick with the book so well. At times though I felt that Doyle rambled on too much on one subject or a conversation between two people. It did take aw .....
