.... the first book, Fear, Bigger stands out on the street with Gus. He and Gus see an airplane in the sky and Bigger says: “…God, I’d like to fly up there in that sky.” “God’ll let you fly when He gives you your wings up in heaven,” Gus said. The racial tension that has been building up since the first time the two races ever met has finally gotten to the point where a black person’s only hope of real freedom lies in his or her death. Conditions were much too cruel for the achievement of the American dream for most people, even in the rare instance that one did acqu .....

.... separately and rejoin by chance at an island along the river, they find themselves drawn to get as far as possible from their home. Their journey down the river sets the stage for most of Mark Twain's comments about man and society. It is when they stop off at various towns along the river that various human character flaws always seem to come out. Examples of this would include the happenings after the bringing on of the Duke and King. These two con artists would execute the most preposterous of schemes to relieve unsuspecting townspeople of their cash. The game of the King pretending to .....

.... is that, he says, take a blind or deaf man that has been blind or deaf since birth. They cannot picture color or sound, though they have the natural capacities for such. They simply lack the necessary "impression" of sound or color, as so they can visualize and manipulate these concepts with their imaginations.

.... or that he at least has very little common sense outside of the literary world. If he wrote in a more simple, to the point modern style I would have read the story, absorbed its content, and would not have given it a second look. The story could be summarized into 3 lines and thus reduce the amount of paper it is replicated on the amount of bandwidth required to transmit it, the space it takes, and the time it takes to read it. I came to this conclusion after reading "The Death of an Author" for the fourth or fifth time. I began to wonder why does this man write this way? What cau .....

.... having the rest of his or her life ruined, such as being emotionally scarred. I believe this happened in Franny and Zooey's case as children. They came from a relatively large family, consisting of two parents and seven siblings. The Glass children had a radio talk show called the "Wise Child" when they were younger.
