.... could £200 hurt you.” She will soon find out. There are two climaxes in the story. The first is how they get the £200 (the fact that Hubert did not only die but the way he died, a horrible mutilated death) and the second the tension associated with the knocking at the door. - Hubert the son is himself the focus in what happens to him of some tragic irony. He refers to the money and uses the words “before I come back” and he never does come back. His mother says of her son “when he comes home” again he never does come home. Hubert himself says prophetically “I don’t s .....

.... particular, these essays can provide for further comprehension than a simple definition of the style alone. Horatian satire is noted for its more pleasant and amusing nature. Unlike Juvenalian satire, it serves to make us laugh at human folly as opposed to holding our failures up for needling. In Steele's essay The Spectator's Club, a pub gathering is used to point out the quirks of the fictitious Sir Robert de Coverly and his friends. Roger de Coverly is an absolute character. His failure in an amorous pursuit have left him in the past, which is shown through his manner of dress, alo .....

.... that man cannot dance and thus cannot live. Is this why the Kid must die in the end of the book? Because he had chosen to stray away from the fate the Judge had set for him and “elect therefore some opposite course (pp.330)?” The opposite course the Kid elected for himself was one without pointless slaughter, and meaningless bloodshed. The kid wants desperately to get away from the “vast” and “broken” world of the desert and elects to complete his “circle” instead of staying out west. He chooses his own path out of the desert, one that “calls for the largeness of heart ( .....

.... constructed from Thoreau’s journals, entitled simply “Walking.” Though very different in general subject matter, both pieces contain very similar philosophies, applicable to many areas of life and society. The application of these philosophies from one work to the other, show not a taste of plagiarism, but rather act as a testament to the influence of Ralph Waldo Emerson on the thoughts and ideas of Henry David Thoreau. One recurring theme of this era of American literature was the idea of establishing independence for the United States from the historical ties to Eur .....

.... of Laura in The Glass Menagerie. Laura was constantly held back and she needed support just like Knox. Tom and Amanda constantly pushed Laura to not hold herself back. Once again, as in "Dead Poet’s Society," a coed is used to free the character from their confinement. In The Glass Menagerie Jim is used exactly like Chris. Jim is used to show the coming of Laura’s character. Not only were Knox’s character and the character of Laura similar in both the works, but Todd from "DPS" and Tom from The Glass Menagerie are also shown to be similar. Todd kept a certai .....

.... ideal education are a mixture of the ability and talent of the tutor; the individual attention paid to a student and the well-rounded nature of the curriculum. Montaigne asserts that a pupil is only as good as the skill of his tutor. The ideal tutor in Montaigne's eyes would be one that is more wise than learned, having "a well made rather than a well filled head" (110). The tutor should not have the student repeat what is told to him, as the goal of the education is not to memorize, but rather to learn. The tutor should be a guide in order to offer the ideas of great authors to .....

.... they would still be looking for me at the sheepfold down by the creek, ... I had left their spirits behind me... I did not say my prayers that night: here, I felt, what would be would be."(Pg. 11-12) We see that Jim is a state of awe. He does not see this place as land or a country, but the building blocks for such things. He thinks he is in the heavens, not on the planet. He feels like he is in his own universe. The landscape adds a sense of loneliness as well. He looks at the land and there is nothing he can hold onto so he will know where he is, no mountains or anything. The .....

.... extremely modern because she started reading as a little girl in the Reeds’ house. For example, before she and John got into a fight, Jane sat down by the window and began reading. “I returned to my book--Bewick’s History of British Birds... quite as a blank.--10” Another example of how Jane read as a child was when she read a book of Arabian tales after she got in a fight with Mrs. Reed. “I took a book--some Arabian tales; I sat down and endeavored to read.--40” This is one way Charlotte Bronte shows that Jane represents her idea of a modern woman. Next, Charlotte Bro .....
