Cantebury Tales
Number of words: 3104 - Number of pages: 12.... which shows in the number of people who hedged their bets by practicing both Christian and Pagan rites at the same time, and in the number of people who promptly apostatized when a Christian king died. There is certainly no evidence for a large-scale conversion of the common people to Christianity at this time. Augustine was not the most diplomatic of men, and managed to antagonize many people of power and influence in Britain, not least among them the native British churchmen, who had never been particularly eager to save the souls of the Anglo-Saxons who had brought such bitter tim .....

However, Buck had to learn how to adapt to pulling a sled in every type of snow imaginable.
Buck’s environment was not exclusively made up of his surroundings; those who accompanied him were also a large part of his environment. Many of Buck’s masters helped to transform him into the wild, emotionless dog he became. Each sled driver’s expectations .....

Rattle Bone
Number of words: 1148 - Number of pages: 5.... and is a very good use of foreshadowing. Another example of Clair’s use of this writing method is the experience of the divorce between Irene’s parents. This long-term process displayed Irene’s parents as being unforgiving. At first his wife forgives James Wilson for the affair that he enjoyed with October Brown, but after a period of time, Pearl also had her share of the fall in their relationship. At this time, neither one of Irene’s parents would forgive the other nor make up with the other. This example again shows the use of foreshadowing by Clair by .....

during this time. Regardless of their family problems, they were expected to
endure and stay faithful. [ In fact, ] " the nineteenth century's message of the
supremacy of motherhood was so strong and so intense that it was absorbed into
the systems of it's women - even women like Edna [ ,a character in Chopin's book,
] who were not maternally inclined." ( ? ) You could almost say that women were
considered symbols of everything that is pure in the society in which they lived.
Anything short of that was considered unacceptable.

Greed is something that seems to come along wherever money is. Som .....

Uncle Tom's Cabin
Number of words: 750 - Number of pages: 3.... and those who argued that God had created them superior to all
blacks. Keep in mind that Mrs. Stowe was living through all of what is in her
story. So while providing social, political, and religious commentary, she also
spatters her work with racism and subtle bigotry that would not be found in most
modern writing.
Uncle Tom's Cabin is a novel about how trust in God can conquer great
obstacles, including the pain of slavery. The main character shows this to us
through the story of his life. He is a gentle, pious slave who has been
promised freedom but is sold by his kind master t .....
