Words: 917 - Pages: 4.... that they are insignificant but they help to convey the feelings and emotions that surround the major characters rather than their own. Characters like Curley's wife and Crooks are unmistakably lonely, but they show how their lonliness is the opposite of the two main characters, George and Lennie. Crooks actually states that George and Lennie have got each other but he hasn't got anyone. Curley's wife portrays the same message but under different circumstances. There are really no other main characters besides George and Lennie. From reading the novel and watching the film it is clearly evident in most cases that all of the support characte .....

The Scarlet Letter: Hester's Isolation And Alienation
Words: 708 - Pages: 3.... When Hester is released from prison and stood upon the
scaffold, she was asked to reveal the name of whom she committed the sin
with. Having a heart blinded by love Hester choose to stay in the town and
wear the scarlet letter “A” instead of revealing the other adulterer. She
faced society only to protect and be close to the man she still loved. The
“impulsive and passionate nature” (54), which to Hester seemed pure and
natural had to be faced under humiliation alone, without the partner of sin.
It seemed as though she was paying not only her own consequence, but that
of her lovers as well. Saying so herself while s .....

The Hobbit

something, this means that he will not die. Then, the reader is
not kept in suspense and does not expect to see what
happens at the end. The last climax (or what is supposed to
be the climax) takes a long time to occur (the last
fight—good (men, elves, dwarves & eagles) vs. evil (wargs
& goblins)) and this reduces its effectiveness. After the
climax there is the long return home. It is quite boring since
there is nothing to expect to and the reader knows that the
hobbit would get home safely. In my opinion it should have
been shorter. Character Development The creation of the
characters is done by their dialogues and monologues,

Words: 524 - Pages: 2.... man is powerless in the society of the time.

He failed to look into his heart and nurture his daughter. He voluntarily detached himself from her life. It was because of his stereotypical .....

It is about society; it is about about man, and it is about the true evil
possessed within us all.
Golding uses the property of setting in Lord of the Flies as the
first hint of the evil within man and society. The entire book is set upon
a beautiful desolate island located probably somewhere in the Pacific near
the first atomic bomb detonation. This land was pure and basic; it was a
Garden of Eden, that is, until man arrived. Upon the boys' arrival (a plane
crash), a scar was left on the island. It was a plane, an offspring of
man's creation, that disturbed nature's beauty. Golding continuo .....

clearing under the dense forest of oak trees next to a five foot waterfall.
Mason told me never to tell anyone about this place and so I did not.(so
here I am telling this to my English teacher...). Gene and Finny entered a
large gymnasium and discovered a few pole vaults. Finny abruptly picked
one up, ran, and pole vaulted, breaking the school record. He then told
Gene never to tell anyone about Finny breaking the record. Both of these
instances are incredibly alike. Finally, Finny was symbolicly killed
because of society. Finny was wounded and wound up in a cast. He
eventually died after he had seen what society .....
