The Ninja
Words: 1717 - Pages: 7.... who works for the Nature Conservancy.
Well, I don’t want to give the whole story away in this report, so I am going to summarise the story very briefly.
The book isn’t really just about a few selected people, but instead the author tries to see it from a lot of different perspectives. Therefore the reader get to know a variety of personalities. The Ninja is a high-voltage novel of intrigue and sensuality, richly characterised, fuelled by relentless suspense, an extraordinary thriller, least to say.
If there’s a main character in the book I think it would be Nicholas Linnear, a man of half-English, half-Oriental or .....

The Crucible
Words: 1060 - Pages: 4.... based on the few things that were considered ‘ungodly’ and since they committed one sin, then it was assumed that they were committing many others.
They were condemned because they did not follow the exact ‘rules’ in their society which ‘defined’ who was good and who was evil. The people who followed the ‘rules’ were in turn deemed ‘good’, the nature of their true character being basically irrelevant. This is relevant to our time because history has shown us that it has happened before, for example, McCarthyist America where all communists were bad, all capitalists good, or in .....

Analysis Of Platos Simile Of T
Words: 631 - Pages: 3.... shadows, they take them for all that actually is “the whole truth”, and if voices from the world above do reach them, they believe it is the shadows speaking. In comparison of this to our government today, many similarities can be seen. Citizens of our nation today are often “blinded” from the truths that are presented before them. They live their lives from day to day just knowing and accepting what is being presented to them blindly and have no concept of the reality that lies behind what they are presented. Unless these people are freed and allowed to find the truth for themselves, this is the way that they will a .....

Jane Erye - Feminism
Words: 2493 - Pages: 10.... out here and there with a long chapter of sense, if it could be had; if not, of solemn specious nonsense, about something unconnected with the story: an essay on writing, a critique on Walter Scott, or the history of Buonaparté, or anything that would form a contrast and bring the reader with increased delight to the playfulness and general epigrammatism of the general style". In 1809 Jane Austen, her mother, sister Cassandra, and Martha Lloyd moved to Chawton, near Alton and Winchester, where her brother Edward provided a small house on one of his estates. This was in Hampshire, not far from her childhood home of Steventon. Befor .....

Julius Ceaser 2
Words: 701 - Pages: 3.... us visual evidence of the bloody treason, and when he said the words "beloved" and "Brutus" together I sought revenge. I am furious, and detest Brutus. I hit myself on the head, for respecting him, and thinking of him as an honorable man. How foolish I had been! Tears come to my eyes, as I see the dead corpse of the most exquisite man that had ever existed.
It was after all of this, that the crowd of Roman citizens is truly enraged. We chant: "...Burn! Fire! Kill! Slay! Let not a traitor live!". I am not going to let any of the conspirators get away. They killed the best thing that had ever happened to Rome, and for that they deserve to suf .....

The Woman Warrior

In America, when women go out in public, they try to look presentable, pleasing to the human eye. After Moon Orchid arrives, one of the first things that Brave Orchid does is point out that Moon Orchid is fat and looks very old. “You’re an old woman...your hair is white and your face wrinkled...you’re so fat.” In Asia, fat people are considered to be rich. Being fat is a sign of being rich because only rich people can afford to eat so much that it would make them fat. In America, obesity is often .....

Antigone, War Of Beliefs
Words: 910 - Pages: 4.... utterly." (Page 349). Antigone's staunch opinion is one that supports the Gods and the laws of heaven. Her reasoning is set by her belief that if someone is not given a proper burial, that person would not be accepted into heaven. Antigone was a very religious person, and acceptance of her brother by the Gods was very important to her. She felt that "…I will bury him; and if I must die, I say that this crime is holy: I shall lie down with him in death, and I shall be as dear to him as he to me." (Page 341). Creon's order was personal to Antigone. His edict invaded her family life as well as the Gods. In Antigone's eyes, Creon betrayed the .....

stand not amazed." Romeo shows how he has the guts to kill Tybalt, but when the time comes for him to stand up for what it he has done he turns and flees. This is a very cowardly ill-advisable action. Romeo also presents to us the fact that he is a quitter. "Ha, banishment? Be merciful, say "death." This is just one example to prove that Romeo likes to find scapegoats to solve his problems. Rather than stick around and face his problems, R .....

Literary Criticism Of Wutherin
Words: 1038 - Pages: 4.... sympathies role in the novel. McKibben and Hagan both touch on the topic of Catherine and Heathcliff’s passionate nature. To this, McKibben recalls the scene in the book when Catherine is "in the throes of her self-induced illness" (p38). When asking for her husband, she is told by Nelly Dean that Edgar is "among his books," and she cries, "What in the name of all that feels has he to do with books when I am dying." McKibben shows that while Catherine is making a scene and crying, Edgar is in the library handling Catherine’s death in the only way he knows how, in a mild mannered approach. He lacks the passionate ways in which Catherine .....
