Free-will And Repentance In Dr
Words: 714 - Pages: 3.... is this: If you believe in an all-powerful, all-knowing God, how can you accept the existence of evil in the world, which this God has created? Does this mean that God is responsible for Faustus' damnation? God does not appear in Dr. Faustus. Instead, Marlowe clearly sets out the steps - following the theology of his age by which Faustus' fate is determined by his own actions and words. Henceforth Dr. Faustus' life was filled with comfort and luxury, but marked by excess and perversion. Everything was within his grasp: elegant clothing, fine wines, sumptuous food, beautiful women--even Helen of Troy and the concubines from the Turkish su .....

Catcher In The Rye - Fall Of Innocence
Words: 969 - Pages: 4.... is because he gets really depressed when he can barely think of anything he liked. The reason I think Holden gets so depressed is because two of the people he names are dead. That's why he is so lonely all the time. Holden finds things in common with Allie and James Castle and since they're both dead he feels, in the back of his mind, that he should also be dead which makes him depressed.
Another example of a fall for Holden is when he realizes he can't erase even half the "fuck you's" in the world. This doesn't sound very important, but it is symbolic because he realizes that he can not be the catcher in the rye. His dream of shielding al .....

David Guterson And His Use Of The Theme Of Nature
Words: 1544 - Pages: 6.... and symbolic meaning in
the lives of the characters in his stories.
One of the elements of nature that Guterson uses as a tool to develop
the conflicts in Snow Falling on Cedars are the strawberry fields on the island.
These fields represent an important source of income for the community.
Traditionally the Japanese laborers worked the fields and the white Americans
owned the fields. The question of the ownership of seven acres of strawberry
fields serves as the apparent motive for the murder of Carl Heine. To a local
Japanese fisherman, Kabuo (accused of murdering Carl Heine), the ownership of
this land promises a secure future .....

The Crucible: Issues
Words: 1130 - Pages: 5.... actions for or to supposedly listen to answers for. Now I believe in God and I feel that religion can be an important part of anyones life, but these people took it to the maximum and kept on going. God was these peoples life. Beyond that was the endless void of the world that they hadnt experienced. Personally I feel that many of the people in this play had an inner sense of shame and guilt among them but nobody could express it because of the fear of being persecuted. To me that is not a religion. That is a trap. Or a “catch 22” if you might. These people were so caught up in God that they forgot the morals and values of life and got .....

Lysistrata
Words: 960 - Pages: 4.... the womb and contrasts with the sterility of the oath. Their oath promises them to not enjoy intercourse. The burning torches brought by the men’s chorus are an ironic symbol of the passions raging in men's loins. Their attempt to batter through the gate is nothing else than a sexual penetration, and foreshadows the attempts of Cinesias later in the play.
Within , the pouring of water on the men to douse their sexual urges parallels the dampening of their husbands' passions to which the women have sworn. The Magistrate's allusions refer to the lustful invitations to adultery, which men offer. Amongst all this passion is , and in .....

Blakes The Chimney Sweeper
Words: 642 - Pages: 3.... Could scarcely cry ‘ ‘weep! ‘weep! ‘weep! ‘weep!’” (554). This sympathy allows the reader to realize not only how these children lived, but also how they felt and how they were deprived of their childhood.
Blake also uses symbolism to express the evils of exploiting these small boys. Most of this symbolism appears to be about death. This gives the poem a dark mood. For example, Blake writes “So your chimneys I sweep, and in soot I sleep” (554). Most of the boys who were sold into chimney sweeping died very young because the soot inhalation destroyed their lungs. In this quote sleep .....

Dream Deferred

Hughes continues to make his point through the symbols of inanimate objects as the poem progresses. In addition, all of the symbolic statements except the final one are similes. In lines four and five, the statement, "Or fester like a sore--And then run?" is extremely symbolic. The visual picture of a sore festering and then finally breaking open and running is again equal to the broken dream of racial equality. The dream of racial equality grows in the body like a sore. When the dream fails, it breaks open and could fall prey to outside poisons. .....

Dialect is very influential to the tone of Angelou’s autobiography, as it was to the tone of Herman Melville’s Billy Budd. It was only through the dialect that the reader was able to understand Billy’s character. As in Billy Budd, Angelou uses dialect in her writings to enhance the tone of the book. “That’s right. You know, the children was readin’ me something th’ other day, Say folks dream about whatever was on their mind when they went to sleep.”(Pg. 158) Angelou quoted her ̶ .....
