Or, as might say, "as if he'd seen a ghost." Hamlet grabbed her wrist, stared at her face, sighed, let her go, and walked out the door backwards.
What's happened? Hamlet, who has set about to feign mental illness, is actually just acting on his own very genuine feelings. Hamlet cares very much about Ophelia.

Huck Finn Review
Words: 276 - Pages: 2.... account is made of the lifestyle and times of the Southwest nearly fifty
years prior to the construction of the novel.
Twain does a remarkable job enticing the reader into the adventures of two
boys, Huck and Tom, and a runaway Negro, Jim, while also covertly implanting his

the ability to create a portrait in short sketches as well as long. It is this ability that
pulls the reader .....

Cruel whips no more shall crack.
Riches more than mind can picture,
Wheat and barley, oats and hay,
Clover, beans, and mangel-wurzels
Shall be ours upon the d .....
