.... and the only one he's got now." He knew that by helping Jim he "will go to hell," but took this risk and followed his own morality. Love was also shared between two characters in Ethan Frome. The love shared in this novel was different from the love in Huckleberry Finn, for Ethan's love was of sexual nature. Ethan Frome was married to Zenobia Frome who suffered from illness during the later stages of her life. Zeena's young cousin, Mattie Silver, was hired to relieve Zeena of her household duties. Ethan was attracted to Mattie because she was the antithesis of Zeena. While Mattie was .....

.... the model an illusion if it works. "The Time Traveler" sets the model on the table and throws the switch; the model then disappears and successfully travels into time. Filby is astonished, yet still somewhat disproving because the machine wasn't built to travel to a point were it could once again reappear. To Filby there still wasn't enough evidence to prove "the Time Traveler's" theory. "The Time Traveler" then confessed to the group that he had been diligently working on a life-size model of , which was nearing completion. After seeing this, the storyteller recalls, "None of us knew quite h .....

.... of the families are very complex, especially in The Cherry Orchard. The conflict facing each family is the selling of their homes due to bankruptcy. In both stories they look to a rich friend to bail them out. Both families also want this friend to marry one of their members. In “A Visit to Friends” Podgorin is asked to marry Nadezhda and in The Cherry Orchard Lopakhin is asked to marry Varya. Chekhov is able to share his view on family life through both stories. Chekhov’s use of nature is evident in both “A Visit to Friends” and The Cherry Orchard. In The Cherry Orchard, .....

.... their love for him in the grandest possible fashion. Cordelia finds that she is unable to show her love with mere words: "Cordelia. [Aside] What shall Cordelia speak? Love, and be silent." Act I, scene i, lines 63-64. Cordelia's nature is such that she is unable to engage in even so forgivable a deception as to satisfy an old king's vanity and pride, as we see again in the following quotation: "Cordelia. [Aside] Then poor cordelia! And not so, since I am sure my love's More ponderous than my tongue. " Act I, Scene i, lines 78-80. Cordelia clearly loves her father, and yet realizes .....

.... by looking at him. He is referring to the Thane of Cawdor who, during the civil war, helped try to overthrow Duncan's rule of Scotland. As a king, Duncan is well received which perhaps allows him to consider himself untouchable. He assumes that no one would have any reason to hurt or disobey him and so he allows his personal safety standards to fall to dangerous levels. This lack of concern also accounts for the manner in which he is unprotected while sleeping at Mabeth's castle. Duncan is governed by his ego to such an extent that he dismisses this breech of security by killing the di .....

.... not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog." How we practice during the week is how we'll play in the game; therefore, I will not accept sloppy practice sessions. My philosophy as a teacher/coach and in life begins and ends with respect. If I cannot respect myself then it is impossible to have true respect for anyone else, and if I cannot respect others, how can I expect my students to respect each other. Respect starts with self-esteem and coaches teach self-esteem. If I am not careful I could just as easily tear down one's self-esteem. It is easier tha .....

.... were as if he were writing about himself. "Every novel contains an element of autobiography-and this can hardly be denied, since the creator can only explain himself in his creations."(Kimbrough,158) The story is written as seen through Marlow's eyes. Marlow is a follower of the sea. His voyage up the Congo is his first experience in freshwater navigation. He is used as a tool, so to speak, in order for Conrad to enter the story and tell it out of his own philosophical mind. He longs to see Kurtz, in the hope's of appreciating all that Kurtz finds endearing in the African jungle. Marlow .....

.... century viewpoint. Franklin and Paine’s viewpoints differed sharply from those that were held to be true in the seventeenth century, and nowhere were these differences as apparent as they were in the areas of knowledge, nature, and religion. In regards to knowledge, the seventeenth century view was that knowledge was to gained through studying the Bible, and that the only purpose of gaining further knowledge would be to preserve the integrity of one’s own soul, or to help others in saving theirs. The Puritans’ interests in gaining or preserving knowledge were solely religio .....

.... spirit, BOB. “After Leland’s confession and suicide, Agent Cooper asks Sheriff Truman whether he would prefer to believe that BOB worked through Leland or ‘that a man would rape and murder his own daughter.’ At this moment Twin Peaks articulates a revision of the seduction theory. Little girls are not abused by their fathers; if they meet an unhappy end, the reason must be sought outside the family circle” (Desmet 98). This reinforces societies urge not to directly face its problems, but rather turn away in a convenient manner. Twin Peaks expresses this urge b .....

.... the characters are going through, which in turn gives us a better understanding of the meaning. We also see the use of irony, using a word or phrase to mean the exact opposite of its literal or normal meaning. The irony is that the story is titled "A Haunted House" which made us think that the house was an evil place. The house ends up being where every thing good happens. The ghosts did not haunt the people , instead they make them realize the treasure they have. By seeing how much the ghosts valued finding their treasure it makes the people take a harder look at what their treasure .....
