Words: 800 - Pages: 3.... on the front yard. Inside of the house, people said there lived a “malevolent phantom” named Boo Radley (Lee 8). He supposedly went out at night and peeped into other people’s windows. Scout also mentions, “When people’s azaleas froze in a cold snap, it was because he had breathed on them.” (Lee 9) Tall pecan trees shook their fruit into the schoolyard, from the Radley chickenyard. However, the nuts would lay untouched by the children, as it was said that Radley pecans would kill anyone who ate them (Lee 9).
Different types of prejudice are evident in this chapter. For instance, Scout refers to Walter as a “Cunningham”, .....

Into The Wild By Jon Krakauer
Words: 1682 - Pages: 7.... an intelligent child to say the least, was frustrated with orders by anyone. He wanted to do things his way or no way and he does this throughout his life. Whether it was getting an F in physics because he refused to write lab reports a certain way (an F was something that was never on McCandless report card) or not listening to advice from his parents to the extreme of leaving society to go into the wilderness, McCandless definitely was not a follower. His parents were told by one of his teachers at an early age that Chris “marched to the beat of his own drummer”. Chris never lost his ability to do things the way he wanted and .....

Smerdyakov
Words: 1765 - Pages: 7.... child. The townspeople mistakenly credit Fyodor for taking the dead woman's child into his house. All of these disturbing actions on the part of Fyodor are cause for his punishment.
While Fyodor neglected his fatherly duties to his other three sons, to this fourth, he rejects them completely. He finds the controversy around the mystery of the boy's conception amusing. He employs his own son as one of his servants, as his "lackey." Although incredible attention to detail is paid to the story of Lizaveta, Dostoevsky waits to speak of the boy himself. It is as if the author is all ready separating this last son. Dostoevsky claims to n .....

"After many days there slow minds concluded that I was a stranger

"Many moons have passed. Over this time I was taught their
language and concepts. I found that they call themselves Americans, more
specifically "Michiganders". I have always been quick to learn and they

George Bernard Shaws Mrs. Warr
Words: 436 - Pages: 2.... at people like Mrs. Warren. People who have money, who don't care how they attained it, so long as they have it. These types of people assume that they are better than others less well off. They also assume that other people of equal financial standing treat them as equals. Here is where I believe Shaw is mocking Mrs. Warren. She thinks and wants to be an equal to other people's money, but she isn't.
I found it funny that a man of Frank's social standing (not high on the totem pole) looked down on Mrs. Warren and her profession. Her was a young man with virtually no money to speak of, no profitable future, yet still he knew that she .....

Honest Iago
Words: 2158 - Pages: 8.... do evil" is to say evil is in the nature of the malignant person; motive is not an issue. "Motiveless malignity" is redundant in the pure meaning of the words. Does Coleridge mean to say that Iago cannot help himself from being evil or does he mean that what Iago did was without motive? For the sake of this discussion, Coleridge intends the later.
Abbott states "in truth character is what a person is; reputation is what he is supposed to be." (Websters) Is Iago evil? No, he is not. Walter Lippmann says that "evil is not a quality of things as such. It is a quality of our relation to them." (Websters) Iago is not opposed to good (a pa .....
