.... were unsure of themselves. I was puzzled by why some did not feel surer of themselves and their heritage. I was also surprised that some had the pride that could carry them through any situation. Maggie is a classic example of poor self-esteem. She has little pride in herself. She is not as pretty or smart as her sister is. She was also scared in a fire. She has spent her entire life playing second fiddle or at least feeling like it. Dee wants the quilts that rightfully belong to her but instead of fighting she only says, “She can have them Mama”. Her mother describes her voice of .....

.... years old (Dinsmore 69). She became his inspiration for almost every major work he created and he viewed her as his savior, first temporally and later spiritually (Fergusson 165, Inf.

Dante's love, however, was unrequited, as he himself says in a conversation with a lady recounted in La Vita Nuova: "What purpose have you in loving this lady, when you cannot bear her presence? Tell us about it, because surely the purpose of such love must be very strange." .....

.... all the stories up in order to win the argument with Pertelote, but, this seems unlikely because he does not take heed to his own advice and stay away from the fox that encounters him later. He is educated enough to know these supposed quotations but not intelligent enough to understand the real meaning of them. It is if he simply brings because they help him win the argument with his spouse and not because he actually believes what they say. Chaucer is using the idea that the Aristocracy has schooling throughout their childhood, but it is only done to have seemingly important but empty c .....

.... go into the army, the next brother would be a doctor, a brother after that would become a businessman. An old tradition in his family" (Ondaatje, 1992, #201) The tradition however, was transgressed due to conflicting propensities of the eldest brother who chose to resist the indigenous British rule rather than fight on their side. In light of the resulting imprisonment of his brother, Kirpal chose to fill the void by enlisting in the army. Following his enlistment, Kip chose to join the bomb-squad whose duties were to nullify the unexploded hazards and eliminate booby traps, thus saving .....

.... which everyone deserves. He handled the injustice with a manner reserved only for gentlemen, which is a good description of what he really was. The third person to suffer injustice in the novel was Boo Radley. Many accusations were claimed about him even though they were untrue. Just because he didn't leave his house, people began to think something was wrong. Boo was a man who was misunderstood and shouldn't of suffered any injustice.

.... is callous, avaricious, and shares a similarity with Mike from ‘The House of Games.’ Why I think Mike and Spade are similar? For one thing Brigid O’Shaughnessy gave Spade a talk/speech about him using her pretty much the same thing Ford asked Mike in the airport. Brigid’s comment (p. 211-212) “You’ve been playing with me? Only pretending you cared-to trap me like this? You didn’t-care at all? You didn’t-don’t-I-love-me?” Ford’s “You used me...” speech is strikingly similar to Brigid’s including the reaction .....

.... hiding but were, unfortunately, later found. The cruelty of the Nazis not only affected those in Germany but people everywhere felt its impact. In addition to changes in the lives of Jewish people, normal existence changed for others as well. Everyone, Jewish or not, had to register to record their name and address. Those who were Jewish could then be singled out. In order to separate them, they were given identification cards and made to wear a yellow Star of David. Anne makes reference to this segregation in her diary when she tells about going to her secret place. “We could see by .....
