She Works Hard For Her Money
Number of words: 949 - Number of pages: 4

.... for twenty-three years (Terkel 279). After her marriage broke up, she started waiting tables because she needed fast money and didn't want to work an office job (Terkel 294). She feels that she learns a lot about people in her line of work, and enjoys talking to her customers.

Tale Of Two Cities 2
Number of words: 1361 - Number of pages: 5

.... the countries, but most of the action takes place in Paris, France. The wine shop in Paris is the hot spot for the French revolutionists, mostly because the wine shop owner, Ernest Defarge, and his wife, Madame Defarge, are key leaders and officials of the revolution. Action in the book is scattered out in many places; such as the Bastille, Tellson's Bank, the home of the Manettes, and largely, the streets of Paris. These places help to introduce many characters into the plot. One of the main characters, Madame Therese Defarge, is a major antagonist who seeks revenge, being a key revolutio .....

The Tell Tale Heart: The Labovian Theory
Number of words: 1223 - Number of pages: 5

.... of subtle nuances quick to deceive the senses. Poe sends the reader spinning into a world of symbolism, questioning the art of madness, and fearing the depravity of reason. The "The Tell-Tale Heart" is, at a glance, seemingly about a man plotting to kill another man in cold blood. Looking further into the words, the reader can find a story of a man obsessed with senses and the ability to have complete control over them. The narrator uses reason to overwhelm the morality of his actions. His obsession takes over his whole being, thus bringing on the madness which over powers his world. .....

Similarities In "Miss Jean Brodie", "Dead Poets Society", And "The Trial And Death Of Socrates"
Number of words: 461 - Number of pages: 2

.... meant that his students were to gain. This was no more evident than with the Dead Poets Society. He knew that if it were ever uncovered by the faculty higher-ups his job would be, at least, in serious jeopardy. This is another case of needless persecution of someone with the best of intentions. It is ridiculous to think that he could have been implicated in any way to the suicide of one of his students. Firing Professor Keating was the biggest disservice that the administration could have done to the student body. The most extreme case of this senseless persecution is that of Socrates. .....

An Analysis Of The Cask Of Ama
Number of words: 1285 - Number of pages: 5

.... him into the catacombs to taste some of his non- existent amontillado. At this point, the reader knows the conflict will be one of man against man. It is an external struggle because Fortunato and Montresor are in a life and death fight. However, the conflict is largely internal, because Montresor has a fierce hatred that Fortunato is unaware of. The narrative hook seems to occur when Fortunato follows Montresor into the vault. Even if the reader was confused by the language of the first paragraph or is puzzled by the motive of the narrator, he is curious to know what will happen nex .....

Fahrenheit 451 4
Number of words: 539 - Number of pages: 2

.... Without their own king Scotland would just be a meaningless province that is guarded by soldiers at all times. Why should you live in constant fear when you can have freedom and live in relative peace and you don't have to worry about what you say or do about the English because they have no rule there? The consequences for all of Wallace's actions led to the deaths of many people, but it also led to freedom. The negatives of the war were starvation, torture, and deaths of your friends and companions. They all fought and many died fighting for freedom and the ones that lived got to enjoy t .....

Jane Eyre
Number of words: 969 - Number of pages: 4

.... respect from everyone around her, "considerable organ of veneration, for I yet retain the sense of admiring awe with which my eyes traced her steps". Even during their first encounter Jane is "impressed"… "by her voice, look and air". Throughout Jane’s stay at Lowood, Miss Temple frequently demonstrates her human kindness and compassion for people. An Example of this is when after noticing that the burnt porridge was not eaten by anyone, she ordered a lunch of bread and cheese to be served to all, realising their hunger. This incident is also evi .....

Oedipus
Number of words: 1141 - Number of pages: 5

.... dead when no one could even testify to his guilt? Would a "good" man threaten a timid shepherd with pain and death merely because he was hesitant to reveal the harsh realities of ' life? ' tale of meeting Laius is another troubling point. In Colonus he states in plain terms that King Laius would have murdered him had he not killed Laius. In his initial speech to Jocasta on Laius' death he tells a different story. It sounds as though he provoked, or at least escalated, the attack on him, striking the first real blow instead of going off the road, which was all Laius' party really wante .....

Hamlet 8
Number of words: 582 - Number of pages: 3

.... insanity to work out his plan. Later, when Hamlet tells his mother that he saw the ghost in his mothers room, her amazement at his madness is quite convincing. Another instance of Hamlet’s behavior, manipulation in his meeting with Ophelia, where his uncle and Polonius are hiding behind a curtain.(Earlier in the play it is made quite clear, Hamlets feeling towards Ophelia.) When his complete rejection of her was clearly a hoax. Hamlet’s actions in the play after meeting the ghost lead everyone except Horatio to believe he is crazy. Hamlet questions his conduct i .....

A Man For All Seasons - 16th C
Number of words: 1897 - Number of pages: 7

.... idea of who he is because this is what Bolt thinks is necessary to be a hero and this is exactly the type of man that Thomas More is. More saw in himself something that was his only and he was that it was something that allowed him to live life with confidence in himself. Only when he was denied that way of life was he able to accept his fate of death. Robert Bolt comments on this on page 13 of the preface. “…who nevertheless found something in himself without which life was valueless and when that was denied him, he was able to grasp his death.” This shows that Thomas knew that h .....
