A Modest Proposal: A Different Version
Words: 1024 - Pages: 4.... our future is hurt by our loss of vital
information to help us continue through High School College. As humbly as
I may, I propose to solve this problem and help the students of Jesuit Prep
enjoy these classrooms of boredom. This proposal, deeply thought out to
solve the common problem of students sleeping and hurting their future
lives and careers is to place table top dancers in every classroom.
I have worked out the details entailing the added cost of these daily
dancing ladies. A well-known friend of mine, who owns a nightclub off of
Harry Hines, was kind enough to divulge the rates per hour that dancers, he
could find for J .....

Her family and friends are expecting and encouraging this dependence.Elaine and Robert, Mattie's two unmarried children, along with other family and friends, are encouraging her to be what they expect a seventy-eight year old woman to be.

Edgar Allan Poe And The Raven
Words: 2113 - Pages: 8.... “The Raven” holds a dark sense of elegance which
has been appealing to many since it was written in 1845.
The theme of “The Raven” is simple: a man suffering the loss of his
love is visited by a speaking raven, whose repetitious, meaningless answers
torture him to the point of insanity (see Appendix R) (Decoder, Internet).
The feeling of lost love portrayed in the poem might have reflected the
death of Poe’s wife, Virginia, in 1847 (Qrisse, Internet). As it is read, a
definite rhyme scheme is present: internal rhyme in the first and third line,
and end rhymes in lines two, four, and five. All e .....

A Freudian Turn Of The Screw
Words: 950 - Pages: 4.... either opinion. It’s probably not so much the evidence as it is the predilection of the proponent that determines their choice. A person who has an imaginative soul or who finds it easy to rise above the mundane restrictions of everyday life would probably argue that Peter Quint and Miss Jessel are ghosts, where as a more logical thinker with a literal sense of mind would probably search out the explanation in psychopathology. The decision is really left up to the reader.
Henry James use of symbolism in The Turn of the Screw seems to be the easiest way to sway the reader’s opinion toward the psychological theory. There are several ty .....

Social Injustices In Huckleberry Finn
Words: 1368 - Pages: 5.... injustice of society develops along with the adventures that Huck and Jim have. The ugly reflection of society we see should make us question the world we live in, and only the journey down the river provides us with that chance.
Throughout the book we see the hypocrisy of society. The first character we come across with that trait is Miss Watson. Miss Watson constantly corrects Huck for his unacceptable behavior, but Huck doesn’t understand why, "That is just the way with some people. They get down on a thing when they don’t know nothing about it" (2). Later when Miss Watson tries to teach Huck about Heaven, he decides against tryin .....

The Canterbury Tales: The Friar Outwits The Summoner
Words: 987 - Pages: 4.... The friar clearly depicts an image of the summoner, whereas the summoner, out of rage, resorts to vulgarity. The friar offers many analogies of the summoner, and he readily interchanges the occupations of a summoner and a thief: “And Judas kept a bag, and was a thief, just what a thief was he…he was a thief, a summoner, a pimp.” By doing so, the friar implies that a summoner must indeed know the deceitful arts of theft and embezzlement: “He knew so much of bribery and blackmail I should be two years telling you the tale.” By giving so many portraits of a summoner, the friar is sketching what he thinks of summoners in general. H .....

‘A White Heron’ By Sarah Orne Jewett
Words: 1684 - Pages: 7.... and
very little use to make of it. Sometimes in pleasant
weather it was a consolation to look upon the cow’s
pranks as an intelligent attempt to play hide and
seek, and as the child had no playmates she let
herself to this amusement with a good deal of zest.”
This quote lets us know several things. Sylvia does not have any playmates; in fact, we get the impression that her best friend is her grandmother’s cow. The story soon gives us another piece of vital information about Sylvia.
“ “‘Afraid of folks,’” old Mrs. Tilley said to
herself, with a smile, after she had made the
unlikely choice of Sylvia from he .....

The Joy Luck Club: Journey To Adulthood
Words: 756 - Pages: 3.... but Lindo stayed behind. She was to move in with her future in-laws, the Huangs. When she arrived at her new home, the place where she would start her new future, she could see by the outside of the house that the Huangs were much higher in society than her family was. Once she stepped inside, however, she sees that the house is uncomfortable and imposing. Lindo was not welcomed warmly as a new member of the family. Instead she was shown to the servants' quarters which gave her a good idea about her position in this household. Her sole purpose of being the bride of Tyan-yu was to provide grandsons for Huang Taitai, her mother-in-law .....

“The Slippery Slope Of Pizza Money": The Money Scheme
Words: 1509 - Pages: 6.... the athletes are getting money while attending school. Instead of trying further to figure out how the athletes are earning money they have made a new rule so that it appears as though the athletes are making money by having jobs outside of school even though everybody all knows this is untrue.
Looney continues to say how desperately sad this is for college sports. “To fold one’s ethical tent is perfectly in line with: ‘When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping.’ This is the concept of acquiescing to adversity, turning backs on the problems, and seeking pleasure to distract from real concerns”(1). There are many things .....

When he visited Hester in prison he said, “He bears no letter of infamy wrought into his garment, as thou dost; but I shall read it on his heart…” pg.70, this quote foreshadows the symbol that Chillingworth sees on Dimmesdale’s chest. Chillingworth claims he can be Dimmesdale’s savior because he can cure his illness, or really his guilt. The truth to this is that Chillingworth acts as if he were Dimmesdale’s friend and through doing this he really will not save him but lead him to his demise.
Dimmesdale knows he must confess publicly and acknowledge Pearl as his d .....
