The Great Gatsby: Typical Male Behavior
Words: 1230 - Pages: 5.... does not show respect or genuine caring for either woman. Rather, he commits open adultery with Myrtle. Tom makes this affair public because it is just another way of showing-off, another of his possessions and thus boosting his ego. Tom does this without regard for the shame his affairs may bring onto his wife.
Daisy comes to represent a treasured and sought possession for both Tom and Gatsby. Although on the surface it appears that Gatsby has an ever-lasting love for Daisy, I feel that his longing for Daisy stems from his need to recapture a possession which he lost during his youth. Nick comments "He talked a lot about the past and I .....

A Second Look At A Man Called Horse
Words: 979 - Pages: 4.... He had a lot of pride in his heart. "He had the idea that in Indian country, where there was danger, all white men were kings, and he wanted to be one of them." But he was knocked down the first notch when he discovered out there that some men could still be his superiors even when they couldn't read like he did. These men still had the necessary skills to be good at what they needed to be good at in the circumstances they lived in. Then the young man supposed that he could buy with money the kind of men he wanted to associate with but that didn't work out either. "He found them not friendly. They were apart from him and he w .....

Juror
Words: 490 - Pages: 2.... prejudice towards the defendant, viewing him as a liar and a piece of trash, with no supporting evidence. This prejudice most surely influences his verdict of ‘guilty’ without view of any evidence. If that is not enough, starting on page 62 10 begins a speech lasting 2 pages in which he spews out his views of people like the defendant: “Human life doesn’t mean as much to them as it does to us…And they are-wild animals.”
10 is an impatient and uncaring/unconcerned person. It is made clear by viewing his lines that 10 does not take his part on the jury seriously and only wants to reach a consensus as quickly as possible. His rea .....

Animal Farm: Boxer Is A Leader's Ideal Disciple
Words: 582 - Pages: 3.... loyal
to the memory he had of Snowball at the Battle of the Cowshed until
Squealer brainwashes him into thinking otherwise. While Squealer is
attempting to persuade Boxer, Boxer says, "I do not believe Snowball was a
traitor at all in the beginning." He sticks to this until he is told that
Napoleon said that the story about Snowball was true. He then resorted
back the motto that "Napoleon is always right." He may have been able to
stick to his belief about Snowball had it not been for his naive nature.
The pigs took a great advantage of this. Boxer was also faithful to his
work. He was always trying to do more. Boxer was a very faithf .....

The monster later encountered a poor farming family. The monster watched the way that the different family members interacted with one another. In his observation of them he learned the lessons that his father had neglected to teach him. The monster learned the concepts of love and affection. When the monster watched the family he felt feelings of happiness, instead of feelings of loneliness. Eventually the monster had learned the family .....

The Awakening: Chopin Glorifying Edna's Fatal Situation
Words: 343 - Pages: 2.... are
entirely an invention of Kate Chopin reflecting what she wants to teach her
readers. If Chopin has successfully convinced a reader that the characters are
real or that they could be real, the reader is likely to apply what he has
learned from this fable in his or her own life. With these assumptions in mind,
one must apply the task of figuring out what she wants people to believe and how
to behave as a result of reading her book. Edna, whose husband has held her
like a piece of furniture, a piece of personal property, suddenly becomes aware
she is a human being. Leonce certainly errs if he only values his wife as a
piece of fur .....

International Economic Policy: Book Review

The author, in some parts of his book, was to concentrate on the question of
adjusting the US trade deficit against with Japan. He was to show the American
point of view that argues that Japanese terms of trade are unfair (104). Also he
was to refer to the North American Free Trade Agreement and reflect how it is
beneficial for Mexico (as first developing country to join the US and Canada)
which could not gain support from Europe to develop (as Europe was to
concentrate on its own further development and unity at the moment), and to how
the joining of Mexico was to benefit the US (and Canada) as it would .....

Native Son And Black Boy
Words: 1251 - Pages: 5.... to be able to everything a white person could do. It is shown to us that bigger keeps all his fear and hate and emotions bottled up inside of himself, especially with whites because of the way that they make him feel. I believe it to be though that Bigger does the most significant change in his character when he kills the young white girl Mary and gets sent to jail. With Mary he was able to let his feelings out after he had seen what happened, what he'd done. All the hate he could see that in a way he was like the white people, they're both full of hate and vengeance. The most significant change that effected the story is when all of t .....

To Kill A Mocking Bird: The Ewell Residence

hall, the cabin rested uneasily upon four irregular lumps of limestone. Its
windows were merely open spaces in the walls, which in the summer were
covered with greasy strips of cheese cloth to keep out the varmints that
feasted on Maycomb's refuse." This description paints a very vivid picture
of the cabin and also tells a little bit about the Ewells themselves. From
this we can infer that the Ewells took very little (if any at all) pride in
their home and it's appearance. Later in the passage Lee adds, "What
passed for a fence was bits of tree limbs, broomsticks and tool shafts, all
tipped with rusty hammer heads, shovels, ax .....

Of Mice And Men: Friendship
Words: 752 - Pages: 3.... reading the book it seemed like they worked very hard.
It is ironic that they had a dream like that, being that they we so young and still had a lot of living to do. The dream that they had was so simple and old fashioned. Since George had spent so much time taking care of Lennie, it may have felt like raising a child; and George probably didn’t want anymore conflict in his life. Their dream was like that of an older person who had worked and lived a fulfilling life and wanted to spend the rest of his days relaxing.
George contradicts himself during the novel. He talks about the dream he and Lennie share, but his dream is totally differ .....
