.... Bronte’s character Lockwood is used to narrate the introductory and concluding sections of the novel whereas Nelly Dean narrates most of the storyline. It’s interesting that Nelly Dean is used because of her biased opinions. In addition, the structure of Wuthering Heights displays a uniqueness. Just as Elizabethan plays have five acts, Wuthering Heights is composed of two “acts,” the times before and after Catherine’s death. However, unlike stereotypical novels, Wuthering Heights has no true heroes or villains. “Although this work was written in the Romantic Period, it is not a romance. There are no .....

.... 16:12). The name “Ishmael” has since become used commonly for an outcast, which is “quite timely since he is nothing more than a tenderfoot when it comes to whaling and is viewed as n outcast to the other sailors upon the Pequod.” (Donahue 18).

Ishmael says that he and Queequeg and boarding the Pequod because they have just “signed the articles” (Melville 68) and Elijah responds “Anything down there about your souls” (Melville 68).

.... complete care of the truck that they are driving. Al takes his job very seriously and gets upset when anything happens to the car. Emotionally, I would say Al has become very strong throughout the novel. He starts out pretty depend on the "glory" of his brother, but he takes his responsibilities seriously. I see Al as being a crucial character later in the novel. He is the kind of person that needs motivation from the start, but once he gets going, he won't stop. Setting Description Oklahoma could best be described as one large dustbowl. All rain has ceased to fall. The dry wind wisps through the air and gathers dirt. If you listen .....

.... in the novel, he influenced the entire story by inspiring this animal revolution by delivering a very inconciliatory speech. Snowball, one of the avaricious pigs, was a very acute, persuasive speaker. Napoleon, an eccentric fierce-looking Yorkshire boar, had a reputation for being taciturn, yet dogmatic. Of all the animals on the farm, Squealer was the propagandist. He was the one who revised the history that the animals knew to cover up for their actions. Boxer, who was known for being a super strong scrupulous steed, was gullible yet always faithful to the pigs. Throughout this story, he had two sayings, “Napoleon is always right� .....

.... the first notable movement of African-American writers and artists in the United States.
