.... or just an act of kindness towards another human being . I trend to see Nick as being a hero in some ways because of the way he thought but not really in the way he acted he wasn’t overly strong or courageous like the typical stereotype we have a hero to look like . Nick was more of a modern day hero in his own right . Gatsby on the other hand although not a hero in the sense of a physically strong man who saves the lives of distressed people . But he is a hero more in the sense that he is totally devoted to one woman most of his life . Then when it looks as if she is going to get into trouble for the death of Mrytle after she hit h .....

.... took his place in the family. He saw Heathcliff as “a usurper of his father’s affections and his privileges.”(42) The young vagabond was quieter and gentler so he became a favourite of Mr. Earnshaw. Hindley’s luck took a turn for the worst when his wife, Frances, died. When she passed away, a part of himself died too. His common sense and rationality slowly disintegrated into ashes. “The servants could not bear his tyrannical and evil conduct long.”(68) He soon turned to alcohol for salvation, but his drinking habits only made him worse. Soon enough, Hindley was “degrading himself past red .....

.... of England between reigns of Queen Anne and George the first. The people of Lilliput are about six inches tall, and there size signifies that their motives, acts, and humanity are in the same, dwarfish (Long 276). In this section, the royal palace is accidentally set on fire, containing the empress inside. Instead of making his way across town, to the ocean, squashing the people of Lilliput as he goes, Gulliver makes use of his urine to save the palace. While this vulgar episode was a display of bravery, it infuriated the emperor, causing revenge to be vowed on Gulliver. Rather then be happy that both the emperor and the palace are n .....

.... than to be a rebel who goes against everything. Gene is a person who thinks before he acts. He is an individualist or a person with a distinct characteristic. He admires people who are extreme individualist. I think that is easier for Gene to go with the crowd than to go against it. Gene doesn’t like to express his emotions directly. An example of this is when Finny says that they are good friends, Gene has trouble accepting it. Gene is a person who is dissatisfied with his life and wants to set up an ideal person. Finny is that person because they are so different . Finny on the other hand is athletic who moves with perfect co .....

.... racism both in France and in the colonized world. He responded to the shattering of his neo- colonial identity, his white mask, with his first book, Black Skin, White Mask, written in 1952 at the age of twenty-seven and originally titled "An Essay for the Disalienation of Blacks." Fanon defined the colonial relationship as one of the non recognition of the colonized's humanity, his subjecthood, by the colonizer in order to justify his exploitation. Fanon's next novel, "The Wretched Of The ` ``Earth" views the colonized world from the perspective of the colonized. Like Foucault's questioning of a disciplinary society Fanon questions t .....

.... stitched Scarlet Letter. She walks protecting her young child against her bosom as she is scorned by the crowd. Her punishment is quote “as effectual an agent, in the promotion of good citizenship as ever was the guillotine among the terrorists of France,� (Page 52, pink highlight). Instead of using the pillory, which would lock a person's head and hands together where they could not move and be forced to not be able to show their humiliation. “No outrage more flagrant to forbid the culprit to hide his face from shame,� is in Hawthorne's commentary on page 53. Hawthorne's commentary appears twice on this page (about more than .....

.... as it always does at this time of year� (p. 77). Elinor’s comment comes as a somewhat perturbed response to Marianne’s overzealous inquiries concerning the appearance of Norland. Elinor also mentions that it is probably rather gloomy and untidy because of the dead leaves that cover the woods and walks. This prompts and even more dramatic exclamation from Marianne: “‘Oh!’ cried Marianne, ‘with what transporting sensations have I formerly seen them fall!’� (p. 77). In this line, and in those that follow, it seems that Marianne gets carried away with her appreciation of the dead leaves on the ground. In the description of them .....

.... society. Huxley asks his readers to look at the role of science and literature in the future world, scared that it may be rendered useless and discarded. Unlike Bradbury, Huxley includes in his book a group of people unaffected by the changes in society, a group that still has religious beliefs and marriage, things no longer part of the changed society, to compare and contrast today's culture with his proposed futuristic culture. But one theme that both Brave New World and Fahrenheit 451 use in common is the theme of individual discovery by refusing to accept a passive approach to life, and refusing to conform. In addition, the refu .....

.... to great advantage when preparing the book. During March and April of 1935, Amarillo, Texas, and Dodge City, Kansas had twenty-eight, and twenty-six dust storm throughout their towns. The dust storms were often times massive and destroyed crops, houses and the lives of anyone living near it. By mid March, the storms had become commonplace in Amarillo and Dodge City. Residents began to accept them as a part of daily life. On April 10, 1935, a dust storm rolled through Texas and Oklahoma and on to Kansas. The storm lasted for over twenty-four hours, and set a record for intensity and duration of a storm. This storm came four days .....
