.... rather his own set of rules, where he only does what he feels he should do. Bartleby is unaffected by other people and their ways, he is unaffected by society and so called, normal life. He doesn’t do what he is expected by society, but rather what he expects of himself. After reading this Bartleby seems less abnormal, and begins to fit many of the characteristics Emerson uses to describe “self reliance�. In “self reliance� Emerson says, “Society is a joint stock company, in which the members agree, for the better securing of his bread to each shareholder, to surrender the liberty and culture of the eater. The virtue in .....

Furthermore, literary texts that overlap and mix genres blur the distinction between them. Genres are not discrete systems consis .....

.... athlete and schoolwork was not his top priority. Their friendship perplexed the boys and the readers as no one could entirely understand what the attraction was. Even though it seemed like a strange and complicated friendship, Finny and Gene developed a strong bond.

As Bernice's hair was being cut, "there was a curious narrowing of her eyes" that foreshadowed her expression when she got the idea to bob Marjorie's hair. "Suddenly she .....

.... who he is in love with. This says a lot about Ethan’s character. Not only is he very loyal, caring, and honest, but his morals and standards are something for everybody to admire. After reading this story, one might get the impression that Ethan got what he deserved for trying to leave Zeena. However, on closer examination, we can see that although he wanted to leave Zeena, not in a physical way but by death, he still couldn’t. His loyalty to his wife forbade him. We can see this when Wharton writes, “ But suddenly his wife’s face, with twisted monstrous lineaments, thrust itself between him and his goal, an .....
