.... nature, had any natural affection." page 20, "and he's the one folks say is queer, lazy and just pottering around the place no better than Anse," page 23. Cora's husband, Vernon, is directly the opposite of her, he is a simple, honest, and credible person. His section isn't littered with side comments and thoughts like Cora's, he just simply stated the events as he viewed them. Previously Anse Bundren said "We be beholden to no man ...never yet been, " page 19. However, Tull says "Like most folks around here I done holp him so much already I can't quit now," page 32. So from Tull the fact that Anse is total dependant on others is r .....

.... to me”. Thus, covetousness is both the substance of his sermons as well as the mechanism upon which he thrives. He clearly states that repentance is not the central aim of his preaching, by mentioning “my mind is fixed on what I stand to win and not upon correcting sin”. Rather, his foremost intention is to acquire as many shillings as he can in exchange for his meaningless pardons. In this regard, one can argue that although the Pardoner is evil, he is not a dissembler. His psychology is clearly not guided by hypocrisy because he does not conceal his intentions under false pretences. Chaucer clouds the g .....

.... uses Tranio (as Lucentio), to pull a fast one on an innocent merchant. He then uses him for the real Lucentio's personal gain. He concocts a false tale of how the merchant will surely be put to death if anyone knows where he is from. His false tale is the following: "‘Tis death for anyone in Mantua to come to Padua. Know you not the cause? Your ships are stayed at Venice, and the Duke, For private quarrel ‘twixt your duke and him. Hath published and proclaimed it openly. Tis marvel, but that you are but newly come, You might have heard it else proclaimed about (4.2.86-92.)." Tranio later argues how he .....

.... narrator went on to say she is a strange, quiet woman, who is so quiet that she made visitors feel uneasy. The author is also very detailed with her description of Mr. Mayherne. The narrator depicts him as a small precise man, who is neatly dressed and recently had his boots shinned. She also said the most striking characteristic of Mr. Mayherne is his shrewd and piercing gray eyes. From his brief encounter with Mrs. Mogson, we found out that she was scared with sulfuric acid by Romaine's boyfriend and has been bent on getting revenge on Romaine. Plausible characters and vivid description make this story more interesting and add to the plot .....

.... death was viewed during this period. According to the Confessions, life, though valued, was just a time spent before God chose to bring your soul to heaven; contingent of course on the fact that you were a Christian. “Yet in a moment, before we had reached the end of the first year of a friendship….you took him from this world (Confessions, 75).” “When all hope of saving him was lost, he was baptized as he lay unconscious (Confessions, 75).” This passage about e’s friend helps to illustrate that as death drew near in Augustine’s time, thoughts went to the after life in heaven. This hypothesis .....

.... Crucible by Arthur Miller, John Proctor fits the classic Greek definition of a tragic hero. One characteristic of the tragic hero, which Jon Proctor possesses, is that he is a man of stature. This is evident from the very beginning of the play in the exposition about Proctor. The author says, “He was a kind man-powerful of body, even tempered and not easily led�(20). He goes on to say that he has a “quiet confidence and an unexpressed hidden force�(21). He is well respected in the community and Mr. Parris, the town Reverend, goes as far as to say that he has “followers�(30). Also, at the end of the play Parris and Danforth .....

.... of the land of Lilliput. He is released from his prone position only to be confined in a ruined temple by ninety-one tiny but unbreakable chains. In spite of his predicament, Gulliver is at first impressed by the intelligence and organizational abilities of the Lilliputians. In this section, Swift introduces us to the essential conflict of Book I: the naive, ordinary, but compassionate "Everyman" at the mercy of an army of people with "small minds". Because they are technologically adept, Gulliver does not yet see how small-minded the Lilliputians are. In Chapter II, the Emperor of Lilliput arrives to take a look at the "giant", and .....

.... would work all day, and remove the stitches by candlelight while the suitors slept. Odysseus was "blessed in the possession of a wife endowed with such rare excellence of understanding, and so faithful to her wedded lord" (p.256). Penelope was the picture of a perfect, devoted Greek wife. Homer also portrayed the loyal daughter type using Naussica, the young princess of Scheria and daughter of King Alcinous. Like most daughters from the Greek civilization, she thought the world of her parents, and they thought the world of her as well. We see that she thinks highly of her father because she refers to him as her "excellent father" and tel .....

.... company, and when Jim is sold by the Duke and the King, Huck breaks down and cries while asking the Duke where Jim is Twain 208 "'sold him' I says, and begun to cry; 'why he was my nigger, and that was my money. Where is he?-- I want my nigger.". Then Huck steals Jim from the Phelps farm (eventhough he was already set free by Miss Watson's will). Huck Finn changes as we go through the story because Jim is really almost his slave and he grows to like having Jim wait on him. In Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain depicts Southern life and society in the 1870's. The main point that Twain makes is that Southern life is .....

.... is hard for her to let go of old habits that consists of taking no responsibility and the sole intention of seeking pleasure. She must go from a young worriedless rebel to a stable adult taking responsibility. It's a hard process since there are three steps to changing: realization, doing the deed, and committing to the change. She definitely realizes she needs to change, but only goes that far. She does walk to the end of the station and looks upon the fertile side of the valley and comments "and we could have all this," but she continues drinking when she knows well that she carries a child in her womb. She even says the alcohol tast .....
