.... by his wife and that she toyed him around using his only weakness- his vaulting ambition. As Schucking talks about Shakespeare's tragic heroes: He creates a hero such as Macbeth, who is a moral coward and for a while a henpecked husband, who in critical moments is rebuked like a schoolboy by his wife and who, on the other hand, proves himself a lion on the battle field. (p.95, The character of the Elizabethan Tragic Hero) Macbeth's vulnerability to the witches is caused by his corrupt desire, which moves him to take a false step. Macbeth is aware that the deed he contempl .....

.... "war is kind" is mentioned several times throught out the poem, which is not what most people would use to describe the war. That is probably the reason that the certain phrase was used.

.... § I predict that Maya will finally fully overcome her rape and live a better life. § I liked the way the writer put a lot of emotions into her writing because it tells a lot about the character and how the character feels. § I didn't like that Marguerite and Bailey were sent to Momma's because their parents couldn't take care of them because children should feel loved and wanted by their parents and a real family should stick together through thick and thin no matter what. § If I wrote this book I would change the way that Bailey became distant from Maya because they had such a special b .....

.... town saying, ‘The winter morning was clear as a crystal. The sunrise burned red in a pure sky, the shadows on the rim of the wood-lot were darkly blue, and beyond the white scintillating fields of far-off forest hung like smoke.’(pg.41) It also seems that whenever Mattie is around, Ethan’s view of the world improves.

The crash of a loaded branch falling far off in the woods reverberat .....
