.... "He drank her in insatiably from head to pointed toenail" (230), Or "He licked his parched, thirsting lips with a sticky tongue and moaned in misery again…" (230), make this Catch-22 dirty. It brought this book to whole other level which when I first opened it was not expecting. This level is almost in a way more humanistic than the level I thought it would reach. The typical war story of courage and bravery seem to have disappeared from Heller's depiction. It shows that while there is a traumatic World War, and these soldiers are fighting for their country and more importantly to them, their lives, these soldiers have a life outside .....

.... his descent into madness. The play begins with Lear, an old king ready for retirement, preparing to divide the kingdom among his three daughters. Lear has his daughters compete for their inheritance by judging who can proclaim their love for him in the grandest possible fashion. Cordelia finds that she is unable to show her love with mere words: Cordelia (aside) What shall Cordelia speak? Love, and be silent (23). Cordelia’s nature is such that she is unable to engage in even so forgivable a deception as to satisfy an old king’s vanity and pride. Cordelia (aside) Then poor Cordelia! And yet not so, since I am sure my love’s .....

.... no matter what they would do. I think that Wallace's beliefs were worth fighting and dying for because why should you have to be oppressed be a king that would take your things and rule you cruelly. Without their own king Scotland would just be a meaningless province that is guarded by soldiers at all times. Why should you live in constant fear when you can have freedom and live in relative peace and you don't have to worry about what you say or do about the English because they have no rule there? The consequences for all of Wallace's actions led to the deaths of many people, but it also led to freedom. The negatives of the war were sta .....

.... the two children many moons ago in his hut. The children had been on a long journey to his hut in the middle of the Black Forest.. The children had been through thorns rivers and other tribes hunters to get here. The children asked the rocks and trees for directions. These children were everything but ordinary. Both the girl with her shiny black hair and tan skin. The boy with his bald head and dark skin would soon rule. Chung offered them into his hut. He gave them both a drink of the priceless black cherry juice with a little sleeping spell in it. The black Cherry juice looked as if it was a hot spring for it bubbled and steamed .....

.... around, like the human beings, Gilgamesh search for eternal life to bring his friend back to life. I believed the most significant differences in both pieces is the search for immortality. In the Epic of Gilgamesh, when Gilgamesh found the miraculous plant that gives immortality to anyone who eats it, a great snake steals from him. Like in the Old Testament, God ordered Adam and Eve not to eat the Is there really an eternal life like what everyone is searching for? In the Epic of Gilgamesh, the people considered natural catastrophes to be work of the gods. The gods, they believed, even used nature to punish the people. Human beings wer .....

.... was not going to happen, and it appeared that those who were not killed in the war went somewhat crazy. When one of the boys (the name I don’t remember) goes back to his class to tell the new students about war, he couldn’t contain himself. His teacher had made war sound like a great adventure that everyone should experience. When the boy got up to talk, he told everyone that it was horrible, and his teacher went crazy. War films that are made now are certainly anti-wars films (usually), but this film in particular showed that war was a horrible, horrible thing. The way the director decided to portray the war scenes supri .....

.... He was sure the seclusion from the Red Death would save his life. He was wrong! Poe uses his supporting character Prince Prospero, to show the wealth of royalty in this story. This character's speaks of wealth and happiness. Prospero's wealth was so vast that he was easily able to support one thousand of his royal comrades, hundreds of servants, and a seemingly endless number of parties. However, it is very ironic that the prince of prosperity was the first to die. He was murdered by the main character of the story "The Red Death" itself. I believe this was to show the reader that one can not turn their back to society's problems withou .....

.... is emphasized, purported by Freud to be the basic human need to be gratified. In much the same way, Golding's portrayal of a hunt as a rape, with the boys ravenously jumping atop the pig and brutalizing it, alludes to Freud's basis of the pleasure drive in the libido, the term serving a double Lntendre in its psychodynamic and physically sensual sense. Jack's unwillingness to acknowledge the conch as the source of centrality on the island and Ralph as the seat of power is consistent with the portrayal of his particular self-importance. Freud also linked the id to what he called the destructive drive, the aggressiveness of self-ruin. Jac .....

.... death she went out very little; after her sweetheart went away, people hardly saw her at all" (254). The death of her father and the shattered relationship with her sweetheart contributed to her seclusion. Though her father was responsible for her becoming a recluse, her pride also contributed to her seclusion. "None of the young men were quite good enough for Miss Emily and such" (225). Faulkner uses the feelings of other characters to show Miss Emily's pride. Her pride has kept her from socializing with other members of the community thus reinforcing her solitary. But Miss Emily's father is still responsible for her being a hermit. .....
