.... is evident in this text as lilies are something that David admires yet are extremely “girlish” in the eyes of his father, a man. In an effort to please his father David took it upon himself to kill a possum that had become a menace to his father, this would make him a man, this would grant him his “rite of passage”. The possum eventually appeared and was described as David would describe his much-loved lilies, “soft, beautiful, white in the moonlight”. The symbolism of using the same words to describe the possum like the much loved lilies shows the reader that it is against D .....

.... no other. Meter in a literary work, just like all other components, can be a key factor in affecting the reader's thoughts and mood. Of course, this being Shakespeare, meter was utilized with a definite purpose. Because this portion of the play is dramatic and suspenseful, an erratic, loose structure is appropriate. The author "changed things up" and "kept the reader guessing" with regard to the structure and meter--thus causing even more suspense than what the plot had already provided. In this group of dialogue, Othello loses his usual poetic eloquence. His mental and emotional c .....

.... their own reality with what they see. The Scaffold is not only a high view point the in market place but a site where one can see beyond the restraints of town and even time.

.... poem has a rhyme scheme ABAB, with the last word of every other line rhyming, such as, lines one and three , there and bare, and also lines two and four, between and green.

.... shows this Christ figure in his innocence towards Claggart, by not knowing why Claggart treats the crew so bad, and to why there is a side to him that enjoys this cruel punishment. Billy talking to Claggart says "No man can take pleasure in cruelty". Billy shows his innocence by how he can not judge how anyone would thrive we they are loathed by so many others, like Claggart does. Billy also shows a resemblance towards a Christ figure, by his ignorance of what goes around him. He ponders why so many people abominate Claggart? Billy can’t understand the meaning behind Claggart, so Bil .....

.... to be slaughtered for the profit. And yet the emotional thinker says that those mothers who abort their children do so for emotional reasons, namely shame. It follows then that those who give birth to their "bastards" must feel enough love for them to raise them in spite of whatever shame they may feel. Also the emotional narrator describes begging as dishonest, whereas the rational thinker uses the term "lawful" to describe it. In this way Swift shows how the two thinkers reach opposite conclusions, neither of which tell the whole story or are entirely accurate. The reasonable thinker is a .....

.... it is a huge problem, however, they do think of it as an adventure in itself. "'I'm giving it up, I'm going to enlist. Tomorrow.' I felt a thrill when he said it. This was the logical climax of the whole misbegotten day, this whole out-of-joint term at Devon. I think I had been waiting for a long time for someone to say this so that I could entertain these decisive words myself." Another reference to real warfare was that they were always talking about the seniors and that they had to take special preparation courses so that they would be prepared to enlist in the military. "The class .....

.... it is evident at one point in the play. The only time that it is shown is when she can’t actually kill King Duncan herself because he looks too much like her father. She said, “Had he not resembled my father as he slept, I had done it.” The fact that Lady MacBeth does not have a balance eventually leads to her downfall. The id, ego, and superego are supposed to be at balance in a peron, but in Lady MacBeth’s case, the id completely makes up her entire character. One main idea from the play is “Blood gets blood,” and no character does it describe bett .....

.... don't act naturally and follow other people's manners and grace. Holden didn't like phonies, he thought of them as if they were trying to show off. He didn't like it when they showed off because it seemed so fake and unnatural every time they would do so. "At the end of the first act we went out with all the other jerks for a cigarette. What a deal that was. You never saw so many phonies in all your life, everybody smoking their ears off and talking about the play so that everybody could hear how sharp they were." (pg. 126) Throughout the book Holden displays a lack of motivation for .....

.... and overcome them, and love requires commitment and is greatly appreciated. John was rather a Renaissance man trapped in a world where none of his necessities in life existed. He was disgusted at their orgy-porgies, their belief of take, take, take not give, give, give. Total happiness did not exist to John in a world which lacked expression of the arts. It was rather total torment. Throughout the novel John continues to fight and believe for what he believes in while the surrounding environment continues to pressure him and submerge him into Utopian ways of life. The conflicts whi .....
