The darkness that surrounds Phoenix is the total opposite of her. She is a poor woman, but is very neat and tidy. She appreciates her the small things in life and respects what she has. Although she is old, she has extremely dark hair, wears a red bandana, and has much “life” within her:
Her skin had a pattern all its own of numberless branching wrinkles and as though a whole little tree stood in the middle of her forehead, but a golden color
ran underneath, and the two knobs of her cheeks were .....

The Witches In Macbeth
Words: 1727 - Pages: 7.... supports my thesis. Since Macbeth knows he is going to become king, he thinks why should he not become king now, instead of having to wait. Hazlitt stated that the reason for all of Macbeth s crimes were the witches, who surprised him, and he was impatient to verify their predictions, causing Duncan s murder (Hazlitt 11). Hazlitt noted that in this statement: "...and from the superstitious awe and breathless suspense into which the communications of the Weird Sisters throw him, is hurried on with daring impatience to verify their predictions (Hazlitt 11). This quote shows that the witches have control over Macbeth, since he is thrown .....

Their Eyes Were Watching God: Love
Words: 628 - Pages: 3.... nothing
beautiful was ever said. She had no love with Logan Killicks. That is why
she left him for a man that showed much potential to give the kind of love
she was looking for.
The whistling man that Janie ran away with was Jody Starks. With
Jody, Janie thought that she would forever have "flower dust and springtime
sprinkled over everything." She thought she'd have "a bee for her bloom."
She didn't exactly find this in Jody though. In him she definitely found
change and chance, but still not the love she was looking for. What Jody
had for Janie was more of a lust than a love. He was very protective of
her and didn't want an .....

The name "Germany" according to Tacitus originates from the name of a tribe that drove the Gauls out of what would ultimately become German territory. Ever since those times, the name "Germany" was believed to inspire terror when heard.

I wasn't able to spend a lot of time with Charles when he was a baby because I worked seven days a week on a split shift. Circumstances had changed by the time he was a year old, to where I could stay home, but by then he was walking and talking some. I barely new him, just as Tillie barely knew her daughter when she got her back: "When she finally came home, I hardly knew her."

It is important to understand what Williams means when he talks of death to the reporter. For Williams the fact of being dead or the act of death is not important, but it is the pain that precedes it. This has metaphorical significance which resonates throughout the play. Though the characters do not physically die it is in their inevitable downfall that we see the symbolic pain of death. In all the characters it is clear that their unbridled desires, their Id force, lead to significant downf .....

Summary Of The Great Gatsby
Words: 297 - Pages: 2.... the novel.
Fitzgerald's use of creative writing "tricks," his description of American myths, and his parallel between Gatsby and the American identity produce a novel of perfection. His twisting and interesting plot also adds to my enjoyment as a reader. The focus of this novel being based on love of money, he also adds mystery and deception however that adds just the right "spice" to the novel. This novel begins with the generous, distinguished Jay Gatsby, who, surprisingly, comes into his wealth illegally. Fitzgerald uses an interesting icon to represent the rich, upper class, by making Gatsby appear as a sort of disillusioned hero .....
