Number of words: 2254 - Number of pages: 9.... that's even worst than Old Ackley.

Number of words: 1031 - Number of pages: 4.... asking for her husband, she is told by Nelly Dean that Edgar is "among his books," and she cries, "What in the name of all that feels has he to do with books when I am dying."

Heart Of Darkness
Number of words: 1084 - Number of pages: 4.... journey, was also meaningful. Marlow experienced the violent
threat of nature, the insensibility of reality, and the moral
darkness.
We have noticed that important motives in Heart of Darkness
connect the white men with the Africans. Conrad knew that the white
men who come to Africa professing to bring progress and light to
"darkest Africa" have themselves been deprived of the sanctions of
their European social orders; they also have been alienated from the
old tribal ways.
"Thrown upon their own inner spiritual resources they may be .....

made efforts to create one for their successors. While each of these men had

national' literature. According to R.E.Rashley in Poetry in Canada: The First
Three Steps " there is no Canadian poetry before .....

Number of words: 1419 - Number of pages: 6.... with his own sense
of humor, but however it still leaves a very good opportunity to make a
Marxist critique about the way the class structure influences the play. He
leaves room for these critiques when he writes about the servants, the
nobles, and the middle class. His view on society and class is very

"‘No sir; it's not a very interesting subject. I never think of it
myself.'"
In this passage from the play it is very clear that Wilde likes to
give his characters .....

Number of words: 371 - Number of pages: 2.... most even making multiple millions of dollars a year. They should be happy with that, but of course they are not. If one guy makes a little more another wants to top that and so on this cycle continues to the astronomical salaries that some athletes are now making. They are not happy with what they have and in turn, thus all they can think about is the fact that they want more because someone else is making that much more than they are.
