Words: 721 - Pages: 3.... on his heart, or how he is tormented by visions of the crime.
He doesn't feel the least bit guilty about having committed the crime,
only his pride's hurt. He doesn't mention the idea of the pain that
might arise from recurrent visions of the crime. Raskolnikov never
again recalls the massive amounts of blood everywhere, the look on
Lizaveta's face when he brings down the axe on her head. These things

pain, it is something else.
After Raskolnikov is sent off to Siberia, he doesn't feel
remorseful. His feelings haven't changed about his .....

Upon The Burning Of Our Land
Words: 869 - Pages: 4.... the president, Chief Seathl explained how settlers came to this land, and negatively affected almost everything they saw, including the land and its native people.

Chief Seathl spoke of issues that were argued for many years, and which still have relevance in our lives today.

The Joy Luck Club
Words: 5044 - Pages: 19.... concerned with conflicts and ambiguities, asserting that ambiguities themselves are significant and may point to the invisible core of life. Tan may weave elements of Taoism into the narrative to locate the "invisible core" of Chinese women's culture, of the immigrant family--and of the novel itself--within apparent conflicts or ambiguities. Tan's use of Confucianism may reveal her hypothesis of how a women's version of that patriarchal ethico-moral-ritual tradition might be passed down from mother to daughter and carried to America. Just as in the Confucian ritual system, very little of the mother-tradition in the text is told explicitly .....

Through The Tunnel By Doris Le
Words: 857 - Pages: 4.... This gives us a clear picture of the setting. Additionally, the sentence "He went out fast over the gleaming sand, over a middle region where rocks lay like discolored monsters under the surface, and then he was in the real sea - a warm sea where irregular cold currents from the deep water shocked his limbs" clearly describes the beach where the boy is swimming and how it is seen by him. With the addition of words like "discoloured monsters" and "real sea" we can tell what the boy's feeling are toward his beach which he considers scary but at the same time challenging.
By using the third person omniscient point of view, the narrator is ab .....

Achilles 2

It could be considered odd that Achilles is so understanding to Priam and the burial of Priam’s son, when not that long ago Achilles was dragging the body of Hektor around the grave of Patroklos. This is the same corpse that Achilles vowed to feed to the dogs, the man who slew Achilles’ dearest companion and led him to swallow his pride and return to the battlefield. I believe that this is not the same Achilles we saw prior to the death of .....

Symbolism In Young Goodman Bro
Words: 742 - Pages: 3.... is just one of many quotes that directly relates goodman Brown's personality with his name (189). Goodman Brown is truly a good man. Faith, goodman Brown's wife, also has a name that is indicative of her nature. The story directly supports this point in the phrase "Faith, as the wife was aptly named . . . " (184). Faith is persistent in trying to keep goodman Brown off the path of sin in the first part of the story: " . . . pr'y thee, put off your journey until sunrise, and sleep in your own bed to-night" (184). Hawthorne does an excellent job of turning the main characters into symbols that are prominent throughout the story. .....
