.... is loud and obnoxious, the mockingbird only sings other birds' songs. Because the mockingbird does not sing its own song, we characterize it only by what the other birds sing. Hence, we see the mockingbird through the other birds. In the novel, the people of Maycomb only know Boo Radley and Tom Robinson by what others say about them. Both of these characters do not really have their own "song" in a sense, and therefore, are characterized by other people's viewpoints. Throughout the novel, Scout, Jem, and Dill are curious about the "mysterious" Boo Radley because he never comes outside of his house or associates with anyone in the neighbo .....

.... partake in the experiences of the war. In the beginning of the novel, the description of the troops passing sets the mood for a book that does not glamorize war. Hemingway uses imagery such as “the troops were muddy and wet in their capes� to permit the reader to comprehend what World War 1 was like and expand their understanding of how the world was during times of war. Hemingway ends the first chapter with an understatement that when winter came there was an epidemic of cholera in the army, but “only seven thousand died.� Only. Hemingway’s cruelly flattened language paints a picture of genuine horror. All of this sets the sc .....

.... acknowledges that earthly love can be a detrimental “padlock on our reason� (Wolfram, 153). Love in Parzival thus entails many of the same characteristics that it does in Hartmann’s works as far as love among human beings is concerned. But Wolfram develops love’s definition to the point where the only true love is the love and service of God. In order to clarify this development of the concept of love from simple human desire to a sublime commitment to the almighty, let us examine in detail the works of these perpetuators of Arthurian Legend. Geoffrey of Monmouth’s History of the Kings of Britain contains an account of the e .....

.... white people were gathered together and about to hang TJ because RW and Melvin framed him for robbing a store. Out of love for TJ Papa set the cotton field on fire to set up a distraction. The distraction worked but the novel isn’t clear on saying exactly if he lives or dies, but I think it leads more towards to TJ dying. Many risks were taken in this novel. Almost every character took a risk some of the risks came out positive and some came out negatively. I think papa and TJ’s risks were the biggest in the novel. The scary thing about this book was that America really used to be like this, you rarely hear about it today but s .....

.... thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could; but when he ventured upon insult, I vowed revenge.� Simply by reading the first sentence of the story, it is easy to see that Montresor is vengeful and plans to get “revenge� on Fortunato.

The coat of arms and the family motto both suggest retribution. The arms symbolize Montresor and Fortunato, Fortunato stepping .....

.... particular artworks the amazing examples of their respective genres that they are. The animal metaphor tends to depict humans as being motivated by our animalistic desires, as well as the tendency among ourselves to be highly competitive and often, ruthless. In Animal Farm, Orwell puts the pigs as being the leaders, or the exploiters of the masses, depending on your point of view. Waters does the same in Animals, depicting the pigs as uncaring, self-involved, and overbearing masters of the masses. In both works, dogs are an enforcer-type, driven either by a sense of patriotism, honor, and pride, but also those misanthropes who relish in the .....
