Words: 1063 - Pages: 4.... vanish. This
is precisely the escape route, from strict mandates of law and religion, to a
refuge where men, as well as women, can open up, and be themselves. It is here
that Dimmesdale can openly acknowledge Hester and his undying love for her. It
is here that Hester can do the same for Dimmesdale. It is here that the two of
them can openly engage in conversation, without being preoccupied with the
constraints that Puritan society places on them. The forest itself, is free.
Nobody watches in the woods to report misbehavior, so it is here where people do
as they wish. To independent spirits like Hester Prynne's, the wilderness
beckons her: .....

Comparison Of 1984 And Animal Farm
Words: 394 - Pages: 2.... shown only to the reader and some Inner
Party members. O'Brien knows the real truth of things as shown by his torturing
of Winston. He tells Winston that if the Party tells the people that 2+2=5,
then it does. He also instructs Winston that if the Party informs its members
that 2+2=3 or 4 or all at the same time, then it is so. Although this true
reality is available to Inner Party members, they too do not have the freedom of
thought or individuality... they are only just aware of its existence. Only the
outside reader is able to think and understand the true nature of the reality
established by the Party.

Bartleby: "I Prefer Not To,"
Words: 589 - Pages: 3.... screen, which might entirely isolate Bartleby from my sight,
though, not remove him from my voice." The quotation describes how the
narrator secludes Bartleby from society. Even his window, usually a form
of escape, results in Bartleby being trapped behind another wall, thus
reinforcing his total isolation. The irony lies in the fact that the
narrator, while trying to isolate Bartleby, becomes affected by it, so much
so that he appears almost human. Instead of dismissing him on the spot for
refusing to copy, proofread or leave the premises, he tries to find other
employment for him, and even considers inviting him to live in his
residence .....

The Mayor Of Casterbridge
Words: 729 - Pages: 3.... Out of bed, sir, and off to the granary, or you leave my employ today! ‘Tis to teach ye a lesson. March on; never mind your britches’” (169)!

Farfrae is a young Scottish man that Henchard woes .....

In The Heat Of The Night
Words: 393 - Pages: 2.... one Virgil proved them innocent, when Oberst was arrested Virgil proved Gillespie wrong by proving to him that Oberst was not the murderer. When Gillespie arrested Sam Wood Virgil also proved him innocent. Even though Gillespie didn’t like to be proven wrong by anyone (none less a Negro) he respected Virgil for his great detective work. At one point in the novel Gillespie and Tibbs shake hands and I think that was the high point of this mutual respect. Virgil didn’t respect Gillespie that much in the beginning and most of the middle of this story but in the end Virgil respected Gillespie. I think it was good that Virgil did n .....

surrounded the group in a cave. The magical ring, which was a key to
helping the group succeed in the book, allowed he who was wearing it to
become invisible to others. Also, there was a black stream in Mirkwood
that made he who drank out of it suddenly very drowsy and forgetful of

Middle Earth are physically impossible in a world such as ours.
Several of the organisms in the book are not known to exist on Earth.
Hobbits, of course, are fictional characters, as are dwarves, elves,
goblins, and trolls. Many species of animals are able to .....

Because Judge Miller had a big house to live in, the book implied that he was wealthy. The trip to Seattle must of taken days and by then, Judge Miller would’ve been worried sick about his inseparable companion. As the story goes on, Buck’s first experience .....
