Words: 706 - Pages: 3.... and comes to rest, and immediately the ash-gray men swarm up with leaden spades and stir up an impenetrable cloud, which screens their obscure operations from your sight." (23) This shows how one can get caught up all of a sudden in a cloud of confusion. They are just walking along, minding their own business, doing their day-to-day activities, and suddenly get caught up in an impenetrable mess. This happened to Nick. He was just minding his own business, and then he met Gatsby, who planned things for him without his approval or advice, and who basically used him to his advantage. Nick had no way out of this mess, but he did not reall .....

Alcoholizm
Words: 637 - Pages: 3.... has been thought of as a symptom of psychological or social stress or as a learned, maladaptive coping behaviour. More recently, and probably more accurately, it has come to be viewed as a complex disease in its own right. Alcoholism usually develops over a period of years. Alcohol comes to be used more as a mood-changing drug than as a foodstuff or beverage served as a part of social custom or religious ritual.
Initially, the alcoholic may demonstrate a high tolerance to alcohol, consuming more and showing fewer adverse effects than others. Subsequently, however, the person begins to drink against his or her own best interests, as alcohol .....

Macbeth - Supernatural Theme
Words: 775 - Pages: 3.... to insanity.
Macbeth has changed dramatically as a character throughout the play. Macbeth was tortured with remorse after Duncan’s murder but upon hearing of Banquo’s successful assassination he is elated. His vaulting ambition was driving him to extreme measures and he could do nothing to abate it. Macbeth had risked his life to attain the throne and he had no choice but to employ Machiavellian practices to retain it. The appearance of Banquo’s ghost at the royal banquet horrifies Macbeth. Shakespeare brilliantly uses irony to make Banquo’s emergence very dramatic:
(III, i, ll 28-29)
Banquo’s appearance provides insight into .....

Using imagery to appeal to the reader’s sense of sight, these flowers are given motion, and they are described as, “…blowing,” (3) and “Flutter[ing] in the breeze,” (23).

Pride And Predjudice
Words: 950 - Pages: 4.... a person's personal worth and the transfer of family fortunes that occurs during a marriage in this time that is probably the most important factor, not how the couple gets along or likes each other. Austen plays on this social behavior and seems to be making a statement. Therefore, I believe that Pride and Prejudice is a social satire. The language of Pride and Prejudice is astonishingly simple and the verbiage frugal, especially for the period in which it is written. There is no drastic action or heroic characters; however, Austen convincingly 1 develops character with it, and her characters, each with their own dialogue and languistical .....

Essay On Mystery
Words: 658 - Pages: 3.... she is the main
protagonist, as a detective is. The other half of the story is a romantic
suspense, as a romantic atmosphere starts to occur between Liz and Ted as she
starts to realize that Ted is not the killer, and they end up as a couple right
at the end of the story. To get into more detail about the mixture of these two
classic and celebrated styles, I will use the sheet I was thankfully given by Ms.
Milliorn to nit-pick at the details of these two styles. If I would have to pick
one of the styles that my book more closely resembles it would be the detective
story. The main character and protagonist is Liz, the sister of the recently .....
