Jane Austen's irony is devastating in its exposure of foolishness and hypocrisy. Self-delusion or the attempt to fool other people are usually the object .....

.... The author wanted to show how some families live under these severe conditions. He made us see vividly how they lived with this quote . "A huge black rat squealed and leaped at Bigger's trouser-leg and snagged it in his teeth, hanging on." This showed how broke they were by showing that there were giant rats living with them and how it had no fear of them .

.... therefore theoretically unattainable), involving much sorrow and torment to the lover, not unmixed, with pride"(Smith 18). This was the basis for the linked rhyme scheme of the Inferno. Dante was fascinated by Arnaut Daniel's "cult of the word and his veritable obsession with technique"(Smith 19). The Sicilian School, a refinement of the Provencal, had "significant linguistic effect upon his contemporaries" (Smith 20). Giacomo Lentini, inventor of the sonnet, was a prominent poet in this school along with Cecco Angiolieri and Cino da Pistoia who heavily influenced Dante. These two contemporaries, like Dante, wrote about female idolatry .....

.... things hold a distant interest for him. He has his own life, but he is loyal to Holmes because he finds Holmes' eccentricities and mind interesting, and because they have been friends for some time. Being with Holmes gives him a chance to see the man's brain, which Watson openly admires, in action, as well. He also gets a chance to test his own mind against the problems they encounter. He seems to enjoy the drama of his friend's life and work, speaking of Holmes as a fascinating creature, more machine than man at times. Unravelling the mystery of who Holmes is seems to be one of his main motivations, as well as his own desire for .....

.... by putting a noose around her neck and kicking the chair away on which she was standing, but she was not the killer. One of the mysteries to this book was, of course, who killed all of the innocent people. Another mystery was that every time another person was killed a little indian figure would disappear from the edges of a serving plate. One more mystery was that every murder followed, in order, the famous poem "Ten Little Indians", which reads: Ten little Indian boys went out to dine; One chocked his self and then there were nine. Nine Indian boys sat up very late; One overslept himself then there were eight. Eight Indian boys traveling .....

.... school, study religion, and act in a way the women find socially acceptable. However, Huck's free-spirited soul keeps him from joining the organized life the two women have in store for him. The freedom Huck seeks in Tom Sawyer's gang is nothing more than romantic child's-play. Raiding a caravan of Arabs really means terrorizing young children on a Sunday School picnic, and the stolen "julery"(12) is nothing more than turnips or rocks. Huck is disappointed that the adventures Tom promises are not real and so, along with the other members, he quits the gang. Still, Huck ignorantly assumes that Tom is superior to him because of his more suitab .....

She also represents manipulation in how she played with Pip's feelings, who has strong feelings for her eventhough he also cannot stand her. She tells Pip "Come here! You may kiss me if you like." [102]. Although the kiss may have meant a lot to Pip, it did not mean anything to Estella as she was just playing with Pip's emotions. The character of Magwitch represents the symbols of isolation and the tragic hero. In this case, he was physically isolated from society because he was a convict and was looked upon with disgust. When Magwitch confesses and apologizes to Joe for ste .....

.... at large. The very purpose of a mask is for hiding. The boys use the masks to hide their lust for blood, killing, and death from their consciences. When going to hunt for the first time, "Jack hid, liberated from shame and self-consciousness" because he knew that his manner of hunting was evil and would only lead to lascivious killing. While describing that hunt to the boys, Jack was "twitching" and "shuddering" as he talked. He knew it was wrong. Eventually all the savages hid behind their masks when their lust for killing climaxes on the manhunt for Ralph. Throughout all of the story, all hunting, killing, and shedding of blood was do .....

.... had played the piano in duets with her. The reason she remembers this is because in a way she envied that girl. She did not feel like her family had anything special. “ ... I had nothing as remarkable in my own background? “(248). We remember things not because we want to but because it was something that affected as greatly. She says: “ We only store images of value... Pain likes to be vivid.� (245). Like if for instance as a child we missed out on something and we used to envy other kids who had it, we will never forget it. When she says pain likes to be vivid, she meant painful memories are always remembered. It’s like if pai .....
