My Antonia
Number of words: 1217 - Number of pages: 5.... melancholy, and were set back deep under his brow. His face was ruggedly formed, but it looked like ashes – like something from which all the warmth and light had dried out. Everything about this old man was in keeping with his dignified manner (24)
Mr. Shimerda was indeed a prosperous man in Bohemia, but had made his living in the business world, not by running a farm to provide for his family’s needs. His hands show that he rarely performed hard manual labor, but that he did work hard with his hands to weave. His face however shows signs that he was already having doubts about the w .....

An Occurance At Owl Creek Brid
Number of words: 836 - Number of pages: 4.... everything about the water, and how slowly it dragged pieces of driftwood downstream. Even the sound of his watch ticking was driving him insane. Soon enough he was thinking of ways to escape, which ran through his mind, but were not acted out. He knew if he could just get his hands untied, and the noose off of his neck he could dive into the water. By diving he would be able to dodge the bullets that the soldiers would shoot at him, but he would have to swim very fast. Once he swam to shore he would be safe and go home.
Part II tells all about how Farquhar got himself into the t .....

Hamlet - Cultural Identity
Number of words: 1922 - Number of pages: 7.... understand the conflict and the indecision facing Hamlet.
Hamlet's duty as a son, in his social context and circumstances, is one which encourages him to seek revenge for his murdered father. For Hamlet to be perceived as a noble and worthy son, he would have to kill his father's murderer, and his actions would be supported by society as long as the murderer was believed to be guilty.

Hamlet: I'll wipe away al .....

Sorrow
Number of words: 968 - Number of pages: 4.... while I was sitting in my car thinking.
At first I thought about how much trouble I was going to be in and how much
money it was going to cost me. I was very depressed. Then I got to thinking.
What's the big deal? It's just a little traffic ticket. Sure, I may get in
trouble, but who cares? It's just a small detail in my life. I can whine and
complain, or I can focus on the more important things in life. Why waste away
the days feeling gloomy and depressed? What good is it serving me to feel this
way?
Sorrow is like a rock being thrown at you. You can choose to watch it

"Down And Out Paris And London"
Number of words: 905 - Number of pages: 4.... say a priori that very few tramps are
dangerous, because if they were dangerous they would be treated accordingly. A
casual ward will often admit a hundred tramps in one night, and these are
handled by a staff of at most three porters. A hundred ruffians could not be
controlled by three unarmed men. Indeed, when one sees how ramps let themselves
be bullied by the work house officials, it is obvious that they are the most
docile, broken-spirited creatures imaginable. "(p. 204)
About the term "drunkard" Orwell disagrees also saying:
"Or take the idea that all tramps are drunkards -- an i .....

Tenets Of Wordsworth In Resolution And Independence
Number of words: 1975 - Number of pages: 8.... he has always been like a small "boy," who never "heard" or "saw" the beauties of nature (18). As a child, Wordsworth never understood life, because he never looked to nature for inspiration or guidance. Presently, Wordsworth feels he that he is "a happy Child of earth," because he walks "far from the world. . . far from all care" (31, 33). He begins a search to find a way to live in harmony with himself, God, and nature. During his search, he finds an old man, the leech-gatherer, who is one with himself, God, and nature. Upon seeing this man, Wordsworth is immediately amazed by the mien of .....

Beowulf 9
Number of words: 1429 - Number of pages: 6.... would take into account the struggles that the main character took, and the audience would see the poem in its own way. Though few can clearly understand the value of the poem, we must realize that judging the poem from a twentieth century point of view would be unjust to the author or authors of Beowulf.
One of the most pleasing trends in recent old English studies has been the increasing awareness of the truth and importance of this simple observation. It is one which often has been overlooked by scholars and the ever growing critics. These people prefer to regard Beowulf as a source boo .....

Jade Peony - Wealth
Number of words: 864 - Number of pages: 4.... is to use our strengths to help or to give to individuals who are in need of emotional support. The opposite of emotional wealth is emotional selfishness or lack of understanding. This happens when people do not understand each other and therefore they may help another to believe that they are worthless and that they can not achieve their goals. This person is only damaging and not providing emotional support that the individual needs. Wong Suk provided a wealth that some members of Jook-Liang's family could not provide.
Most people need some people who they can tell their hearts to and expre .....
