I would often go and visit my parent’s tombstones in the local graveyard down by the marshes. On day while I was there, saying hello to them, I was confronted by a very scary man. A man who would soon change my life forever. He was a scary looking kind of guy, and he was very demanding. He ordered me around to get him things.

The next night, the town soldiers came to my house, and asked Joe to fix the handcuffs for them, b .....

To Kill A Mockingbird: Trading Places With Atticus Finch
Words: 385 - Pages: 2.... the community. Also, I would like to see what life
was like back then in the South. There are many things I would enjoy
seeing, such as the average citizen's political views, or if the average
citizen even had one. It would also be fun to see what "technology" there
was, although there was probably not much. Lastly I would enjoy seeing how
people dealt with the low standard of living.
There are many differences between him and me. One is that I have
never been persecuted. He was every day. That would not be fun. People
wanted to kill him, which wouldn't be fun either.
The other main difference was that he lives during a .....

Cold Blood: Myrt
Words: 882 - Pages: 4.... and a family man.
When Myrt described her neighbors as “rattlesnakes and varmints
looking for a chance to slam the door in your face.” That statement can be
taken two different ways: (1). how the town treated her when she gave them
their mail, or (2) the neighbors were untrustworthy and false. Myrt’s
attitude towards her neighbors makes the reader think she is envious and
hypocritical.
Holcomb did show a friendly side. The town seemed to act more like
friends that did for each other than friends that just associate with each
other. “Any one who has been sick and had Mrs. Ashida walk nobody can
calculate how many miles to .....

The Glass Menagerie: Struggle To Fit Into Society

leaves which causes him to change too. Tennessee Williams artfully depicted this.
The fire escape. A downtrodden red thing off the sides of buildings showing
societies ineffectual escape from itself. In this case it served as a passageway
between the real world and the dream one that Laura and Tom were living in at
home. Both somehow stumbled both physically and mentally. When Laura said “I'm
all right. I slipped but I'm all right”(47). She was trying to pass to the real
world to do a real job and couldn't because of societies “inability” to accept
her and her ways. She wasn't strong enough to .....

Still, right after the incident, Mr. Ramsay self-reflects and "[he was] ashamed of that petulance [that he brought to his wife]."

Mr. Ramsay wants to appease his wife and make her happy as a result of the torment that he inflicted on her. Next, Woolf again illustrates Mr. Ramsay's insensitive dimension when Mr. Ramsay makes Mrs. Ramsay "bend her head as if to let the pelt of jagged hail .....

Words: 837 - Pages: 4.... He escaped and was able to return to his country where he was sentenced for high treason. The officials believed he had surrendered to the Germans and had returned to spy on his country for them. He was originally sent to Ust-Izhma in which the zeks were normally kept. After a while he was sent to a special camp where they kept the political prisoners. These gulags were the repositories for Stalin's enemies, real or suspected. They housed many people taken in the great purges. It is estimated that the population in these camps was over 8.8 million from 1929-53. The resilience of the human spirit is perhaps the most important theme of the nov .....

First Love: Vladimir's Voyage
Words: 1910 - Pages: 7.... notions are replaced with a realistic outlook on love.
Because Vladimir's education in the matters of the heart comes at the age of sixteen, when he hopelessly falls in love with the older and craftier Zinaida, it is only natural that his experience brims with romantic raptures and tribulations. He comes into the experience with ideal notions of romanticism which he acquires from the poetry and romantic literature that he reads in his childhood. "I would take a book with me - Kaidanov's lectures, for example - though I seldom opened it, and spent most of the time repeating lines of poetry aloud to myself - I knew a great many by the .....
