.... playmates she let herself to this amusement with a good deal of zest.” This quote lets us know several things. Sylvia does not have any playmates; in fact, we get the impression that her best friend is her grandmother’s cow. The story soon gives us another piece of vital information about Sylvia. “ “‘Afraid of folks,’” old Mrs. Tilley said to herself, with a smile, after she had made the unlikely choice of Sylvia from her daughter’s houseful of children, and was returning to the farm. “‘Afraid of folks,’ they said: I guess she won’t be troubled no gr .....

.... him act in a way that the women find socially acceptable. Huck, who has never had to follow many rules in his life, finds the demands the women place upon him constraining and the life with them lonely. As a result, soon after he first moves in with them, he runs away. He soon comes back, but, even though he becomes somewhat comfortable with his new life as the months go by, Huck never really enjoys the life of manners, religion, and education that the Widow and her sister impose upon him. Huck believes he will find some freedom with Tom Sawyer. Tom is a boy of Huck's a .....

.... to protect them from the evil. In the dreams there is also a "Dark Man". He is always there lurking, waiting to attack.

Harold becomes insanely jealous and plots to separate them, even if it means murder. Harold doesn't admit it to any of them, but his dreams are different from theirs.

.... However, Frank’s compensation for these conditions are his relationships with the other men whom he lives near and works around. Spending his evenings playing cards and talking with the men introduces Frank to more then just a little relaxation; issues about politics, race relations, and especially the “white man’s union” dominate the colorful conversations. During this time I’m amazed at how Frank refuses to let himself get dragged into blindly believing the popular opinions in which his peers hold. He lives an honest life and pursues in finding the whole story beneath the surf .....

.... be not form his reason fall’n thereon, Let me be no assistant for a state, But keep a farm and carters And in Act II, scene 1, Ophelia tells Polonius how Hamlet has scared her, making Polonius believe that Hamlet has gone insane. Thus the death of Ophelia is a tragedy because she did nothing deserving of her horrible death, besides allowing herself to be used by others. One of the most important elements of tragedy, according to Gage Canadian Dictionary, is a number of opportunities a character has to escape his or her fate. The sad part is that in the tragedy, hero’s d .....

The parents are too busy to be bothered with the tedium of raising the .....

.... past. Furthermore, one must go a step further to conclude why the past measurements were considered to be inappropriate thus bringing us to the measures being taken today. In the past, we were not quite sure what long-term effects, if any that pesticides might have. When applying pesticides one must take into consideration the amount that actually remains on the plant as compared to the amount that is washed away by rain, carried off by wind, or absorbed by microorganisms and other living animals. In the case of DDT, or Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane which was first synthesized in 1874 wa .....

.... phrasing. Woolf uses the word "the" while Dillard uses "a". Why is this do you think? "The" shows a distinct moth and a distinct death, it shows a significance for both. Yet "a" leaves both fairly ambiguous, showing that neither death nor the moth is very significant. In my mind this shows something of Dilliard's feelings about life. From this title alone I deduce that Annie Dilliard doesn't think much of anything in life is very important. However, Woolf shows a sort of respect or understanding of death and the moth in her title by using the phrasing that she does. Woolf says "The Death" an .....

.... in and are affected by or you not. One is either subject to the limitations of time or one is not. For instance, God is outside the normal limitations of time and is therefore immortal. In Macbeth, it seems, the witches are a transient hybrid of those in time and those not in time. That is to say, they can travel in and out of time at will. This ability allows them to both see the future and to change its very course. This of course proves to be an illogical paradox when examined analytically, but Shakespeare's great work is brimming with paradoxes ("Fair is foul, and foul is fair" I. .....
