Number of words: 1040 - Number of pages: 4.... upon the figure of a man. This is Hawthorn’s opening stage for Goodman Brown’s disillusionment, which turns out to be the beginning of the end for Young Goodman. The man along the path is clearly seen as evil because of the detailed description of his devilish appearance and the nature of this late-night rendezvous.

A Seperate Peace
Number of words: 838 - Number of pages: 4.... man longs for.
“Phineas just walked serenely on, or rather flowed on, rolling forward in his white sneakers with such unthinking unity of movement that “walk” didn’t describe it. When the novel begins, John Knowles leaves a subtle detail of Phineas’ character through his vivid descriptions of his movements. Phineas always represented an uninterrupted flow of strength and energy, like a river with nothing capable of changing its current speed. He represented tranquility in chaos, the calm before the storm. Not even rules were able to stop Finny’s consist .....

A Separate Peace: Social Sterotypes
Number of words: 497 - Number of pages: 2.... an individualist. Individualists are people who don't conform to social
norms just for the sake of being accepted by others. Real individualists are
not those people with blue and green hair you see on talk shows. Those people
conform to a subculture, something that was less common during World War II.
The real individualists of the world are quickly disappearing, as conformity
becomes more popular. I haven't met any real individualists, so I can't say
whether or not Knowles exaggerates Lepillier's lack of stereotype.
In modern society, there is pressure on individualists to con .....

Of Mice And Men
Number of words: 1929 - Number of pages: 8.... and lived. Steinbeck described the
bunkhouse being, " a long, rectangular building. Inside, the walls were
whitewashed and the floor unpainted." Later he says, " Against the walls
were eight bunks, five of them made up with blankets and the other three
showing their burlap ticking." So far we get the idea that the bunkhouse
was not the most beautiful place to live in, one of the only forms of
entertainment in the bunkhouse was playing cards. Steinbeck described this
setting with images of light and darkness next to each other. As Steinbeck
said outside there is "evening brightness" and inside .....

An Analysis Of The Jay Gatsby
Number of words: 1162 - Number of pages: 5.... shirts represent the opulent manner of
Gatsby's wealth and his ability to try and purchase Daisy's love, this time through the use of extensive clothing.
Fitzgerald wisely shows how Gatsby uses his riches to buy Daisy. In the story, we know that "They were careless people, Tom and Daisy--they smashed up things . . . and then returned back into their money" By this, we know that Daisy's main (and maybe only) concern is money. Gatsby realizes this, and is powered by this. He is driven to extensive and sometimes illegal actions. He feels he must be rich and careless for his five year love. A .....

Number of words: 1509 - Number of pages: 6.... are making money by having jobs outside of school even though everybody all knows this is untrue.
Looney continues to say how desperately sad this is for college sports. “To fold one’s ethical tent is perfectly in line with: ‘When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping.’ This is the concept of acquiescing to adversity, turning backs on the problems, and seeking pleasure to distract from real concerns”(1). There are many things the schools can do now. For starters, the schools can arrange, or say they arrange, jobs for their special athletes so they can make money while pla .....
