.... at training, he felt that he was invincible. However, when Henry heard that his regiment was going to battle he started to wonder if he would run. He was afraid to tell anyone of this because he thought they would think he was a coward. When he was returning to the regiment, shortly after he ran, he wondered and cared about what they would say to him. "He wondered what they would remark when later he appeared in camp. His mind heard howls of derision... Where's Henry Fleming? He run, didn't 'e?" (97) After no one brutally questioned him, he thought, "He had performed all of his .....

.... of his love is visited by a speaking raven, whose repetitious, meaningless answers torture him to the point of insanity (see Appendix R) (Decoder, Internet). The feeling of lost love portrayed in the poem might have reflected the death of Poe’s wife, Virginia, in 1847 (Qrisse, Internet). As it is read, a definite rhyme scheme is present: internal rhyme in the first and third line, and end rhymes in lines two, four, and five. All eighteen stanzas of the poem are arranged like this, but Poe never makes it seems unexciting or repetitious. Probably the most noticeable and most b .....

.... you. This is why Joshua felt he should teach the children, and not the adults. Once Joshua started to communicate with the children, and got to know them better the adults were amazed at how Joshua related to the children so well. He knew their names right from the second he met them, he played their games, and he even let himself lose at them too. Eventually the adults in the town began to realize that whoever this Joshua really was, he was a role model for each and every one of them. The Muslim boy was a very important character in this book. He and one his friends went down to the sq .....

.... for his captors. The former is no doubt less autobiographical, but the main character certainly has many things in common with his creator: an American artist within Nazi Germany, doing what he felt was necessary to stay alive and to further his work. The author himself tells us he had to write this book. His subtitle “A Duty-Dance with Death” also takes on a personal aspect. Vonnegut had to reconcile himself with the war, the death, and its impact on him. Tools and Context (war) Through the use of philosophies and ideas, characters, and entire settings, Kurt Vonnegut makes .....

.... of the male, as he introduces oppression and hopelessness into the lives of his women, is equated with the twentieth century's worst period. Words such as Luftwaffe, panzerman, and Meinkampf look are used to descibe her father and husband as well as all male domination. The frequent use of the word black throughout the poem conveys a feeling of gloom and suffocation. Like many women in society, we know that Plath felt oppressed and stifled throughout her life by her use of the simile "I have lived like a shoe for thirty years poor and white, barely able to breath or Achoo." The use of s .....

.... is not immediately too aware of the difference in skin color between the whites and the blacks. She and her sister were friends with two white children across the street and this led to one of her first experiences in realizing her black skin made her appear inferior to the whites. Anne and her sister accidentally followed their white friends into the white section of th4e movie theatre, not realizing they were not permitted and their mother immediately dragged them out. It was then that she realized "that not only were they better than me because they were white, but everything they owned .....

.... man that Janie ran away with was Jody Starks. With Jody, Janie thought that she would forever have "flower dust and springtime sprinkled over everything." She thought she'd have "a bee for her bloom." She didn't exactly find this in Jody though. In him she definitely found change and chance, but still not the love she was looking for. What Jody had for Janie was more of a lust than a love. He was very protective of her and didn't want anyone else to see in her what he saw. He gave Janie many things including lots of money, but he couldn't give her love. The little love that was ther .....

.... the restrictive boundaries of marriage, and divorce was never an alternative. Women's lives were austere and self enrichment or self gratification were often times cast aside relative to the more mundane tasks of daily life. Most women accepted this but Edna did not. She figured that life was more than constantly doing for someone else. She wanted time for herself in order to figure out who she was. Some may see this as selfish but everyone is entitled to “me” time and space. Although I admit she did not go about it in the best way at times; Edna still was in going in the right dire .....

.... against the accused. The predicament in this story was that events such as a bad crop season of the girls being bewitched needed to be explained. To say that "witchcraft" is the answer the these questions. The unfortunate circumstance for some of the accused witches/wizards was that some of them had admitted to such crimes. The girls had fits and calling outs that didn't benefit them either. Some important happenings were when at Reverand Burrough's trial he argued that there were no such things as witches or wizards and that was considered a lie to the court since others had already .....

.... Especially considering the time period in which the novel takes place: Post World War II. Many Japanese-Americans were forced to make a choice at this time: Fight and possibly die for a country that would show them no respect anyway, or choose not to fight and be hated and despised, as well as unrespected. This choice given to the Japanese-American’s was in essence a “catch 22.” Although Ichiro was an American by blood, to him, “it [was] not enough to be American only in the eyes of the law” (Okada 16). In other words, being considered American simply because he was born the .....
