Saki's "The Interlopers": Plot Analysis
Number of words: 349 - Number of pages: 2.... a feeling of sorrow and pity for Georg and Ulrich fills one's heart.

one's own life has a mere squabble gotten out of control and wrecked
everything? The men lay, crippled beneath the tree in the cold and realize
the foolishness of their ways. Ulrich says to Georg, "Neighbor, do as you
please if your men come first. It was a fair compact. But as for me, I've
changed my mind. If my men are the first to come you shall be the first to

a strange .....

Of Mice And Men: Why I Shot Lennie
Number of words: 404 - Number of pages: 2.... very smart person.
As I look back to those events leading up to Lennie's death I kind
of think that it's my fault that he's dead. Not just because I'm the one
that killed him but because I should have watched him more closely. I
should not have left him in the barn with Curley's wife. I think that they
started talking and somehow Curley's wife had him touch her hair. As you
know Lennie likes soft things so he kept touching it. She started to panic
when he wouldn't let go so she struggled and screamed. Lennie got scared
and grabbed her neck and somehow snapped it. The poor fellow. He .....

him.
Huck believes he will find some freedom with Tom Sawyer. Tom

Crusoe Savage Man
Number of words: 1121 - Number of pages: 5.... his own plantation he only produced the quantity he needed to survive. That fact coincides with Rousseau's idea of the savage man, but after two years Robinson produces a larger quantity to sell for profit. This course of action can be associated with capitalism and being prepared for the future. This is not what the "savage man" in Rousseau's discourses is associated with. Instead he is concerned with what is necessary for survival and repose at his present state of being. As with the plantation, Robinson makes preparations for the future, when he is stranded on an island. Robinson .....

The Canterbury Tales: The Perfect Love
Number of words: 1071 - Number of pages: 4.... the relationship between the two knights and Emily
is that Emily does not wish to marry either of the knights. she expresses this
in a prayer to Diana, the goddess of chaste, " Well you know that I desire to be
a maiden all my life; I never want to be either a beloved or a wife." This is so
ironic because Arcite and Palomon are about to kill each other for her love and
she doesn't want to beloved by either of them. She enjoys the thrills of maiden

While all this is going on, no one stops to think that neither Arcite
nor Palomon has ever even .....

Great Expectations. The Charac
Number of words: 1724 - Number of pages: 7.... are far and they can not be reached by us. In GE Estella is presented as an impossible dream for Pip. In the same way Pip has expectations in a material level, Estella would be Pip's love expectation.
In a Christian sense, the star is a quality applied to the Virgin Mary. Stars are used for orientation, to guide us when we are lost at night. We could say the Virgin Mary lights her sons in the night of sin. In the novel, Estella appears as a light, it is Pip's orientation and he always has her in his mind.
If we look at the sky we can see different kinds of stars. One of them is a star which m .....

Criticism Of Shame
Number of words: 720 - Number of pages: 3....

Number of words: 355 - Number of pages: 2.... of his life if he had
gone away from the farm to marry Mattie. The reason he did not have control of
his life was because he was married to Zeena. If he would have married Mattie
and left Zeena, he would not have been in the sled accident, and consequently,
he would have lived a much happier life with Mattie.
The second way Ethan could have changed the direction of his life is if he
would have sold the farm and never have married Zeena. This would have saved
him many years of problems and unhappiness. He would never have met Mattie,
which means he would never have injured himsel .....

Number of words: 759 - Number of pages: 3.... begins to take definite shape when the aristocratic Edgar Linton falls in love with Catherine, upsetting the balance between the relationship of Catherine and Heathcliff.
