like it or not real life is just not that perfect.
My other gripe was that Twain seems to ramble on and on and on an.....
To me it seems as if the story that he was writing became faint shortly after
the time when Huck says, “It's me. George Jackson, sir”(pg. 95). I do have to
give him that the feud was interesting filler, but you can only take so much
filler. Then when John Wayne (The Duke) and Elvis (The King) come along there
seem to be four or five stops along the river that except for one little detail,
are the same. Please excuse the jump back, but how coi .....

Symbolism In Hopkin's "The Windhover"
Words: 318 - Pages: 2.... is also possible by means of natural
perceptions which are, as it were, the first fruits of the senses.
Religious and natural perception fall together in Hopkins. He
describes the windhover in detail as an individual. In the second part of
the poem, the symbol of the windhover gives way to the figure of Christ.
Yet Christ is not symbolized through traditional symbols, but in clay and
coal. In this Christ is shown to be a component of a physical or material
world.
The flame from the windhover indicates self-sacrifice under stress.
It is interesting that Hopkins puts AND in capitals and the resulting flame
is described as a billion t .....

Frankenstein: What Makes It A Gothic Novel?
Words: 700 - Pages: 3.... pursuer becomes the pursued.
Darkly dramatic moments and the ever-so-small flashes of happiness stand
out. The setting sets the atmosphere and creates the mood. The “dreary night
of November” (Shelly 42) where the monster is given life, remains in the memory.
And that is what is felt throughout the novel-the dreariness of it all along
with the desolate isolation. Yet there were still glimpses of happiness in
Shelly's “vivid pictures of the grand scenes among Frankenstein- the
thunderstorm of the Alps, the valleys of Servox and Chamounix, the glacier and
the precipitous sides of Montanvert, and the smoke of rushing avalanches, the .....

Even more stifling to his poetic creativity is his home where Amanda, prompted by her moth .....

"Well, other people are," she said lightly.

an accident."

The Secret Sharer: A Summary
Words: 2669 - Pages: 10.... give rise to many
interpretations. An image generated by the title could be that of a gossip.
Since a gossip is someone who tells people's secrets, or in other words is
a secret sharer if the word secret is taken for a noun, it is a possibility
that this image might come to mind. Another image is that of a person who
shares in secrecy, therefore becoming a secret sharer, if the word secret
is taken for an adjective. This could be an image of a miser, who
generally does not share his wealth, but does so only in secrecy. A secret
sharer could also be an imaginary friend. It would be a person who is
secretive, and you share your thoughts .....

George Orwell is famous for two major novels which attack totalitarianism. The first is Animal Farm, a satire describing the leaders of the Soviet Union as animals on a farm.

The government in this novel gives no freedoms to its citizens. They live in fear because they are afraid of having bad thoughts about the government of Oceania, a crime punishable by death. This is .....
