Number of words: 284 - Number of pages: 2.... the explorers just that to figure out the mysterious Indians. The explorers later theorized that the Indians came from Siberia through a land bridge in the Bering Strait during the time when the water levels were not high.

Pride And Prejudice: Marriage For Money
Number of words: 675 - Number of pages: 3.... first line of Pride and Prejudice, “It is a universally
acknowledged fact that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be
in want of a wife”, sets the tone for the rest of the novel. We interpret
it to mean that a wealthy man either actively pursues a wife based on his

women use their beauty to their advantage to attract a rich husband.
Confident in his knowledge of his own wealth and magnificence, Darcy's
less than romantic first proposal to Elizabeth is a good example of the
first of these trut .....

Antigone Essay
Number of words: 623 - Number of pages: 3.... is not afraid of Creon. “Creon is not strong enough to stand in my way,”(pg.750 line 35).

That makes Creon very mad, so he unburies Poylneices and posts guard around the body. The next day a whirlwind kicks up around the guards and Antigone starts to bury Polyneices again.

Racism In The Invisible Man
Number of words: 405 - Number of pages: 2.... in the case of the Invisible Man, then through his experiences he should have been able to discover himself. Though the main character remains confused, there are certain instances based on racial incidents that allow the character, if not to have found himself, to ponder more and deeper questions about his identity. But are not such questions, even though they have not explicit answers, positive? Is not the quest for knowledge and for self-realization positive? It is implicitly within these questions that plague our Invisible Man that we can find our traces of the positive aspects of ra .....

Frankenstein: What Makes It A Gothic Novel?
Number of words: 700 - Number of pages: 3.... (Shelly 42) where the monster is given life,
remains in the memory. And that is what is felt throughout the novel-the
dreariness of it all along with the desolate isolation. Yet there were
still glimpses of happiness in Shelly's “vivid pictures of the grand scenes
among Frankenstein- the thunderstorm of the Alps, the valleys of Servox and
Chamounix, the glacier and the precipitous sides of Montanvert, and the
smoke of rushing avalanches, the tremendous dome of Mont Blanc” (Goldberg
277) and on that last journey with Elizabeth which were his last moments of
happiness. The rest goes al .....

Appearance Vs Reality In Hamle
Number of words: 1676 - Number of pages: 7.... caring person. Polonius appears like a man who loves and cares about his son, Laertes. Polonius speaks to his son with advice that sounds sincere but in reality it is rehearsed, hollow and without feeling. Polonius gives his advice only to appear to be the loving caring father. The reality is he only speaks to appear sincere as a politician, to look good rather then actually be good: "And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. Farewell; my blessing season this in the .....

Number of words: 504 - Number of pages: 2.... the fortune they have; they learn that they do not have to wear
their achievements. Sometimes people boast their success through fine
clothing. Unlike the flamboyant Yeomen, the distinguished knight wears old
garments.
The Yeomen succumbs to society's inclination that when he dresses
the part he will become successful. He wears a coat with a green hood. From
a low social standing, he believes that the better he looks the more
successful he will become. Emphasis should be placed on one's achievements
and inner self rather than outward appearance. A saucy brace is worn on his
arm to protec .....

Vonnegut's Portrayal Of Society In Breakfast Of Champions
Number of words: 2162 - Number of pages: 8.... Kurt Vonnegut portrays a prefabricated,
unfeeling society and an American culture plagued with despair, greed, and
apathy.
The issue of society's flaws is a major concern of Breakfast of
Champions. Such problems arise and are dealt with as failure to
communicate, ecological destruction, a contempt for art, and the
government's inattention to important problems (Merrill 157). The
experiences and trials of Kilgore Trout, an unknown science fiction writer
from New York, and Dwayne Hoover, a Pontiac dealer from Indiana, show the
suffering and unintelligibility of daily living (Giannone .....
