.... June Star (194). The grandmother also dresses immaculately, even for a car trip, simply because in an accident "anyone seeing her dead on the highway would know at once that she was a lady" (194). She calls attention to pointless details such as mileage, the speed of the car, and scenic road-side attractions. Also typical, the grandmother holds a deep appreciation for incidents which are of no value to others, such as the beauty of the landscape, respect for elders, and courting rituals during her childhood. The character traits of the grandmother are in no way ideal. Not only is sh .....

.... from another era. Similarly, Miss Emily became an eyesore; for example, she was first described as a “fallen monument”(177) to suggest her former grandeur and her later ugliness. She was a “monument,” an ideal of past values but fallen because she had shown herself susceptible to death and decay. According Fetterley, “the violence implicit in the desire to see the monument fall”(194). Like the house, she has lost her beauty. A women who once was beautiful, later became obese and bloated. Both the house and occupant have suffered the ravages of time and neglect. The i .....

.... at Stanford University. His reading background was both varied and intense, but he couldn't adjust to the disciplines necessary for a college degree, and never graduated. He had gone to college at Stanford University for five years, but also worked on ranches, and had a variety of other jobs. In the process he met friends that would later be characters in his novels. In one of Steinbeck's weaker books he put in a statement that which he believed was true while he was growing up: "Men seem to be born with a debt they can never pay no matter how hard they try" (Gray 50). Steinbeck tries to .....

.... Throughout the film, the tragical existence of powerful newspaper tycoon Charles Foster Kane, becomes apparent. He spends most of his life in solitude. Although he was married twice, he always stayed alone. This was because of his incapacity of felling love, which was caused by his insecure childhood. Kane was unwillingly taken away from his mother as a young child; this single event molded Kane into the narcissistic man he became. The only time Kane felt safe was when he was under the care of his mother. She was the only person he ever was able to show feelings for. This hugely aff .....

.... by shaking their hands and saying, “Friends am I with you all, and love you all...” (III i 220). This act symbolizes that Antony has made a new friendship with the conspirators, but in reality, he is plotting to seek revenge so he can take over Rome. Antony is also able to flatter the vast angry crowd in order to get his way. He is first able to get the crowd to feel sorry for him. This feeling is evident when the second plebeian says, “Poor soul, his eyes are red as fire with weeping” (III ii 116). Antony is then able to turn the people in the cr .....

.... with humans in general, but still raises important points on gender), I will be examining if there's a background behind More's image of women and his considering of them as more fragile. I will also be attempting to figure out just what is their role in his literary Utopia (and if these ideas are in any ways revolutionary, considering their time). Brabianto has a false image of Desdemona believing her to be the perfect daughter, not realising she is mortal like all other daughters, "She that was ever fair and never proud, Had tongue at will, and yet was never loud-Ibid.". Because of this, .....

.... reports, reports, research papers, and term papers. On most university campus', up to 75% of students admit to some cheating. (Follette 87) Students believe that few cheaters are getting caught and those who do, punishments are very lenient. Lower levels of cheating are foundwhere the primary responsibility for academic integrity has been placed in the hands of students, generally through an honor code. (Johnston 201) Students who plagiarize generally fall into two categories. The first includes those who have difficulty writing correct, coherent essays. They may never have .....

.... to able, for her ability to create her beautiful needlework and for her unselfish assistance to the poor and sick. "The letter was the symbol of her calling. Such helpfulness was found in her -- so much power to do and power to sympathize -- that many people refused to interpret the scarlet 'A' by its original signification"(Hawthorne 141). At this point, the townspeople no longer think Hester as the Adulteress, "Do you see that woman with the embroidered badge? It is our Hester- the town's own Hester- who is so kind to the poor, so helpful to the sick, so comforting to the afflicted"( .....

.... picture of him with a "look in his face that neither poverty nor physical suffering could have put there". We are led to feel pity for the man who, as a last resort, married Zeena, in an "unsuccessful attempt to escape the silence, isolation, and loneliness" of living a life where social acceptance was had at the cost of his own happiness. From the outset, Wharton creates warmth of feeling between readers and the character of Mattie. She creates an imagery of Mattie that emphasises all the qualities that she admires herself - love, beauty and vibrance, portraying them in such a way t .....

.... narrator has unconsciously placed Robert in a category that he labels abnormal, which stops him from seeing the blind man as an individual. The narrator’s reaction to Robert’s individuality shows his stereotypical views. The narrator assumed Robert did not do certain things, just because he was blind. When he first saw Robert his reaction was simple: "This blind man, feature this, he was wearing a full beard! A beard on a blind man! Too much, I say." When Robert sat down on the couch, he thinks, "I…read somewhere that the blind didn’t smoke because, as specul .....
