Catcher In The Rye: Childhood Innocence - What Holden Never Had
Number of words: 713 - Number of pages: 3.... God, it sounded terrible. It sounded worse than swearing." There
is one more outstanding quotation from the novel which is found on page two
hundred and thirteen. "I felt so damn happy all of a sudden, the way old
Phoebe was going around and around [the carousel]." All these examples
clearly show that Holden appreciated "childhood innocence" to a great
extent. Yet Holden acts the opposite.
The irony in this novel is Holden's behavior, which is far from
being innocent. He smokes, drinks, always depressed, thinks about suicide,
thinks about going embarking to a far place, and .....

Morals And Psychological Aspects In Jane Eyre
Number of words: 368 - Number of pages: 2.... idea of deceit along with anyone who practiced it. In
addition, Jane never saw justice. No matter how obvious it was that John
or one of his sisters were at fault Jane was always blamed.
By looking at Jane's moral values it becomes apparent what Rochester has,
in Jane's eyes, done wrong. He was deceitful in many ways. For one, he
didn't tell Jane that he was already married when he asked her to marry
him. Big mistake! He also pretended that he was in love with and going
to marry Blanche Ingram so that he could make Jane jealous.
Even though Jane loves Mr. Rochester she cannot go agai .....

He had a law degree, but when he moved in he ruined his reputation by saying, “I wish I owned half of that dog, because I would kill my half”. Every one called him instead of Dave Wilson. His career, as a lawyer was ruined, no one would come to him to seek advice. His hobby was keeping fingerprints of everyone it the town. People thought him crazy, but in the end I was worth it.
Robert Regan stated, “Wilson was to be a satirized hero, a man who revels in being praised for the wrong reasons by the wrong people.” This says that Wilson would have been a very succes .....

A Tale Of Two Cities: Sydney Carton
Number of words: 503 - Number of pages: 2.... even carefree, most of the time he was in court. This also gives Sydney
Carton an immature appearance in the novel.
At the beginning of the story and a large part of the novel, Sydney
Carton is shown to be a very arrogant, frustrated man with a drinking problem.
Several times in the novel he indulged in his drinking to the point of becoming
drunk or close to it. Many times that he is seen, he is drinking wine or has a
flask of liquor in his hand. This may keep him calm or help him to remain
composed in the court, but it becomes more to the point of being a necessity or
habit. Al .....

The Puritan Society In N. Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter"
Number of words: 1538 - Number of pages: 6.... know who will be saved,
although pious and faithful people are of course more likely to. The
experience of conversion, in which the soul is touched by the Holy Spirit,
so that the believer's heart is turned from sinfulness to holiness, is
another indication that one is of the elect. Faithfulness and piety, rather
than good deeds are what saves people. If someone has sinned, public
confession is believed to take some of the burden of this sin off him.
The initial reason for the Puritans to leave their homes was the treatment
they had to suffer from in their native England. They were bruta .....

The Storm Within
Number of words: 742 - Number of pages: 3.... storm outside and their
emotional state. They were feeling this need and desire for each other and
it was beating down all the barriers they had set up within themselves to
resist this temptation. Their feelings were so dangerously close to the
surface that they could hardly hide them any longer.
The storm was raging on and the drama of the lightning was very
shocking to them. They could almost feel its electricity. “The playing of
lightning was incessant. A bolt struck a tall chinaberry tree at the edge
of the field. It filled all visible space with a blinding glare and the
crash seemed .....

George and Lennie both fit into the category of wanting to carry out their dreams and be different than everyone else by taking care and looking out for one another.

The Subtle Humor Of Pride And Prejudice
Number of words: 1135 - Number of pages: 5.... for Austen's readers, but they also helped Austen to give her own personal
opinion on public matters.
When an action is exaggerated on stage by an actor, it becomes all the
more noticeable to the audience. An author can exaggerate a character in order
to make fun of them. Austen exaggerates many of her characters and therefore
makes caricatures of them in order to emphasize their ridiculousness. Mrs.
Bennet is such a character. Her extremely unpleasant manner and reactions
causes readers to delight in the situations which Mrs. Bennet places herself
into. Mrs. Bennet's harsh tongue an .....

As I Lay Dying: Styles Used By William Faulkner
Number of words: 734 - Number of pages: 3.... Jewel has for Anse. It is rather ironic when Anse says "He's just lazy,
trying me" (p. 129) Since Jewel has been working really hard, and it is Anse who
is lazy. Furthering on Jewel and Anse's relationship, I feel that it is fairly
evident that Jewel knows that Anse is not his father. This is illustrated in the
following section on page 136: "Jewel looked at Pa, his eyes paler than ever.
'He won't never eat a mouthful of yours' he said. 'Not a mouthful. I'll kill him
first. Don't you never think it. Don't you never.' "The antagonism Jewel holds
toward Anse is enormous, and this scene intensif .....
