Words: 777 - Pages: 3.... are employed to show Dickens' view on the evil of the educational system. Among the "little pitchers" are Bitzter and Sissy Jupe. They exemplify two entirely different ideas, serving Dickens for allegorical purposes.

Things Fall Apart 4
Words: 520 - Pages: 2.... and instead assert that Achebe deliberately made sure that after each of Okonkwo's outbursts, a tragedy befell him and those around him. I think that Achebe could have been trying to hint to the reader that placing too much emphasis on acting manly is bad.

each alternative will affect the petitioner's life and the lives of those

The Many Aspects Of Streets
Words: 632 - Pages: 3.... less developed communities, streets simply consist of a dirt road. As for their lengths, widths, and shapes, streets are very different.
