.... could to ignore the threats and harassment. He did very well to ignore all the abuse and was greatly respected after the trial was over. Blacks, because they were considered inferior, were expected to do everything for whites. Everything had to be perfect, without excuse. Even the Finch’s family friend, Calpurnia, was mocked when she didn’t make the perfect cup of coffee. “She [Calpurnia] poured one tablespoon of coffee into it and filled the cup to the brim with milk. I [Scout] thanked her by sticking out my tongue.â€� One character in the book that suffered from injustice was Boo Radley. Many accusations were claimed about .....

.... intellectual and shy person. While Finny’s personality enables him to be more outgoing and athletic. Because their personalities differ so much it would allow them to be the best of friends or the worst of enemies. In this paper I intend to prove that Gene’s personality was gradually changed during the story by Phineas’ more outgoing personality. While reading this story I was under the impression that Gene was a very smart person. Then once he began to spend time with Finny, the two boy’s personalities started to combine. Usually when this happened the boys did things that were against the rules. An example of this .....

.... the king, he could be executed for treason. Similarly, the king orders Cromwell, his assistant, to apply pressure by finding a reason to kill More, to force him out of the way. All of these pressures from the king lead to a moral dilemma that More has to face, but he chooses to stick to his morals. King Henry applies pressure on More to support the divorce through Meg. While More is in jail for failing to take an oath supporting the divorce, Meg tries to convince him to take the oath, and she says, "Say the words of the oath and in your heart think otherwise," (page 81). More responded to this by saying, "What is an oath then bu .....

.... shows how he is going to later destruct and eventually destroy every last part of normal society that remains on the island. The second part is life and death. In this case, Jack represents death. This is first symbolized by Jack’s black choir cloak, since black is associated with death. When Jack first appears, he comes out of the “darkness of the forest” and Ralph, the symbol of goodness, cannot see Jack’s face because his back is to the sun. Darkness can be another symbol of death. Also, blood is something that we often can relate with death, and Jack is obsessed with killing the pigs on the island and shedding .....

.... by books and what was taught to him. This is seen when he speaks about the flaws of men, setting a bad reputation for all, and the man’s flaws causing their “downfall.”(a.1, sc.4, l.) Upon meeting his father’s ghost, he learns that Claudius killed his father, and that he must take on the task of avenging his death. This encounter changed who he is completely. He said that he will wipe away books, the past, and all of the things he was taught. He will live “within the book and volume of …brain”(a.1, sc.5, l.). He only will live through this purpose in life, and everything else is erased from his memor .....

.... the begining of the story, the three rioters make a pact to “be brothers� and “each defend the others� and “to live and die for one another� in protection from Death, (lines 37-43) and then in going out to fulfill their vow, they end up finding money, and killing each other over it. Even more ironic, is how they end up killing each other. After finding the money, the men plan to stay with it until it becomes dark and they can safely take it away. To tide themselves over until then, they send the youngest one out to get food and wine, and while he is away they plan to kill for his share of the money. Ironically, the youngest on .....

.... back� (Paton 4), he is still reluctant to dip into the money he and his wife were saving to send their son, Absalom, to St. Chad’s for further education, much less take it all for his trip. A sensible man, Kumalo realizes that it is necessary to take all of this money and sacrifice the luxuries for which they had been setting aside. Kumalo is somewhat angered by the fact that he now must suffer for those who left and no longer send any letters, and seems to believe that they are at fault for the weakening of his family and of his tribe. Still, he knows that the fate of these family units lies in his hands now, and with the urgency of .....

.... could not believe how Elie Wiesel survived to tell this tragic story. I suppose I would have had to be a Jew during the time of the holocaust to know what actually went on. From what I have read, I can say that I am glad to have not even been alive during this time. It seemed horrible and unbearable. The fact that Elie Wiesel survived through all this terror is beyond my imagination. While reading the book I felt great pity on the Jews. I almost could not bear to finish reading the it. It told of a side to the holocaust that I never even knew existed. All the detailed descriptions of the beatings and circumstances they went .....

.... is a dialogue and ‘story’ chapter, which is followed or preceded by an ‘intercalary’ (between) chapter. The ‘intercalary’ chapters are what serve to show the migrant’s struggling, and the big picture of what times were like. Genre: The Grapes of Wrath is considered a protest novel to many. Steinbeck originally wrote it to ask California farmers to have sympathy for the migrating ‘Okies’. However, today recognized as a classic, this would most likely fall under the genre of drama. Notes: As you read The Grapes of Wrath you must take into consideration that Steinbeck has travel .....

.... her chest, it would hardly be considered a burden or extreme sentence in present day. Or Hester can be seen as rebelling against a society where she was forced into a loveless marriage and hence she would be the "good guy," or girl, as the case may be. Also the townspeople, the magistrates, and Chillingworth, Hester's true husband, can be seen in both lights. Either they can be perceived as just upholding the law -she committed a crime, they enforce the law. On the other hand are they going to extreme measures such as wanting to take Pearl, Hester's daughter, away just because Hester has deviated from the norm, all to enforce an unj .....
