The Killer Angels
Words: 676 - Pages: 3.... into a five hour long motion picture and
is called 'Gettysburg.' The novel is so compelling that the story seldomly
deviates from the movie. The movie illustrates Mr. Shaara's ability to tell a
complex story with clarity. The novel shows a great depiction of the tragedy of
war, like in the part when Armistead races into battle, even though he is
fighting his best friend (Hancock), and they both get shot. It really shows the
views of each side, and what each character felt.
The Killer Angels' will satisfy both the history buff and the Civil War
buff. But, the sense of duty, honor, and the appalling loss of life as well as
the unbelievable .....

Words: 858 - Pages: 4.... that the author gave describing how old she really was.
This brings me back to what kind of society did Phoenix Jackson live in, were there no other people that would make this long journey for this old lady or was there anybody at all. Maybe she was to shy to ask for help or she had to strong of a will and is "going to bend over backwards" for her grandson and will do whatever it takes to make sure that her grandson is healthy until she can not any longer. Another thing is the doctors and nurses know about the condition of her grandson and did nothing to help other than give her some medicine and sent her on her way. This was just o .....

Jim says, “ Dat truck dah is trash; en trash is what people is dat puts dirt on de head er dey fren’s em makes ‘em ashamed.” That line, from the story, is basically saying that Huck is trash for doing that to Jim.

When he returned he saw Catherine, his true love married to his
half-brother. Heathcliff in turn married Isabella, whom he did not love,
for reasons unbeknownst to me, other than to tick Edgar off. He plotted
revenge on his brothers, and friends in order to get both Thrushcross
Grange and the story's namesake Wuthering Heights.
When Heathcliff died, I imagine that he was very sad that his plan

outcome. Or maybe not. Maybe he would have taken great pleasure in
knowing that he created a hellacious time for his victims. Maybe he .....
