.... has to resort to stealing. Not because he is a criminal, but rather because he has a family to support. When his punishment comes he takes it like a man and goes off to prison.

.... was more relaxed and easy-going about his faith. How his son dressed or what his son was planning to do with his future was not of major concern to him. He enjoyed his son for who he was, whereas Reb was very focused on what he wanted his son to become. Another major difference between Reb and David was their relationship with their sons. Reb had a very silent relationship with Danny, while David had a very communicable relationship with Reuven. Reb thought that in order to teach his son to make his own decisions and to learn the difference between right and wrong, he had to be silent a .....

.... boy who was soon given the name Ralph. Ralph seemed a typical kid. His fair appearance and size made him likeable and gave him an inner-strength of self-confidence. His interaction with Piggy showed that he was not ill-natured. Although he laughed at Piggy's name, it was not with real malice for he had ridiculed his external appearance. Piggy's rather unique attributes had made him an outcast of the mainstream of boys at his age, and his lack of self-esteem reflected that. He too seemed good-natured as he behaved in a polite fashion. The fact that Piggy was knowledgable and well-e .....

.... Charlie was becoming retarded again, but at the same time wanted to have Charlie at her own level again, even if for only a short time. If the people from the bakery had been telling Flowers For Algernon, then they would have written about how Charlie had gone from being retarded to being a genius in just a few weeks. They hadn’t been told about the surgery. They probably would have said how they thought something really weird was going on. If someone else had been narrating Flowers for Algernon, the story could have been very different. For instance, Charlie saw Professo .....

.... was coming true. Henry begins to think about what life was like before he entered the army, and remembers the stories of war he has heard from old veterans. This flashback is very effective in showing how his previous experiences have affected his thoughts on war now. It is blatantly obvious that he is afraid that he will not be able to withstand the pressures of a battle. He keeps telling himself that if he wants to become a hero, he can not run away. He must stick out the battle with the rest of his comrades. While marching along, Henry sees the first corpse he has ever seen. He shows pity .....

.... [He said,] “. . . my niggers is men every one of em. Bought em thataway, raised em thataway.

He is responsible for the horrible memories embedded in Sethe and Paul D. Sethe feels the impact of slavery to its fullest extent. Slavery pushes her to .....

.... individualist. I think that is easier for Gene to go with the crowd than to go against it. Gene doesn’t like to express his emotions directly. An example of this is when Finny says that they are good friends, Gene has trouble accepting it. Gene is a person who is dissatisfied with his life and wants to set up an ideal person. Finny is that person because they are so different . Finny on the other hand is athletic who moves with perfect coordination . He has never made an awkward movement until he falls out of the tree. That was the first time anyone has ever seen him make a clumsily .....

.... would it make a sound?" Well if you have, you will notice a lot of similar things in it and Thoreau's saying, "the sky is less grand when it shuts down over less worth in the population." They are both saying that if something happened and nobody was around would it have the same affect as it would if many people saw it. Thoreau was saying that the sunset is not as beautiful when only a few people see it. I think that a person would have to question things like that, because nobody really knows. In conclusion, I agree with many of the writers of the transcendentalist period. They believ .....

.... She paid extra attention to the ermine toque. She noticed the way the gentleman ignored the woman and then just walked away. Miss Brill imagined that the band knew what the ermine toque was feeling and played softly as the drum beat "The Brute! The Brute!" over and over. Her tendency to notice these things shows that she is melancholy with her own life and can find no other way to fill in her emptiness other than with the lives of other people. A good quality Miss Brill has is her imagination. She imagines that the whole setting at the park is like a play with no audience. She f .....

.... Negro. To Kill A Mockingbird can be read as the story of a child's growth and maturation. Almost every incident in the novel contributes something to Scout's perception of the world.

On her first day of school she finds that there are both social and poor classes in society, some are respectable and others not.
