.... to several shrines. Through her unique introduction in The General Prologue we learn much of her physical attributes. The Wife of Bath is gapped tooth. "Gat-toothed was she, soothly for to saye. Upon an amblere esily she sat" (p.91, ll. 470-471) This physical feature is attributed to lust and passion. The fact that she could ride a horse easily also could take on sexual connotations (Maclaine 32). The horse she "rides" so well could actually be her husband. Early in the Wife of Bath Prologue, The Wife of Bath declares that .....

.... sympathise with me”(Shelley 4). When Walton rescues Victor Frankenstein, his hopes of a new friendship become reality. He writes to his sister that his “affection for my guest increases every day” and his guest “excites at once my admiration and my pity to an astonishing degree”(Shelley 11). With Walton’s change in attitude, it is clear that he has a need to be close to others and that his isolation causes him great emotional pain and loneliness. Frankenstein, like Walton, isolated himself from family and friends. Frankenstein spent years learning sciences and studying the .....

.... feeble-minded friend and protects him above all, even his own interests. It is like a sacred bond, and this makes them different from people who are just on their own. Seeking friendship is also to be seen in Candy, Curley's wife and Crooks. Characteristics: The story is set in California, and that is what Steinbeck is good at, he loves it and knows it very well. The construction is somewhat weird, Steinbeck tried to make it a novel that could be acted or a play that could be read as a novel as well. He did not quite succeed, it was merely an experiment. It does explain the su .....

.... that computers make your life simpler and easier. He says that a computer can make certain tasks simpler and easier to do if you know how to use a computer and use the specific program needed to complete the specific task. If you do not know how to use a computer or are just learning how to use one, performing new tasks can be very difficult and frustrating. This is because computers are difficult to learn about and understand because they are different from most other equipment. Even someone who knows how to use a computer proficiently can still have a hard time using new .....

.... from place to place may pose some difficulty, but they're fairly simple to sort out. The map helps with places. Making lists of characters associated with each town helps, as well. The action takes place in several locations (an interesting filmic term)--primarily in Bamako, Thiès, and Dakar. The map at the beginning shows the locations and suggests that the story is about a whole country and all of its people. There is a large cast of characters associated with each place. Some are featured players--Fa Keita, Tiemoko, Maimouna, Ramatoulaye, Penda, Deune, N'Deye, Dejean, and .....

.... which also vaguely relates to Walkmen or walkie-talkies. Almost every kid in the United States owns a Walkman and many tapes or CD's. Many teenagers lives' are spent listening to music. Instead of talking and carrying on a conversation with somebody a person often turns the music on and sticks to themselves instead. Before the 1920's and before Charles Darwin came out with his theory of evolution and The Origin of Species, the only thing people knew was the story of the Bible. Almost everybody lived believing the Bible. Rarely was it questioned and everybody was .....

.... children. There were no other options within the restrictive boundaries of marriage, and divorce was never an alternative. Women's lives were austere and self enrichment or self gratification were often times cast aside relative to the more mundane tasks of daily life. Most women accepted this but Edna did not. She figured that life was more than constantly doing for someone else. She wanted time for herself in order to figure out who she was. Some may see this as selfish but everyone is entitled to “me” time and space. Although I admit she did not go about it in the bes .....

.... He did not want his son to work as hard as he did growing up. When Jimmy went away to college, he spent more time socializing than he did studying. "Jimmy did not study very earnestly and took to bad courses for awhile. He had money and he was popular; ..."(p.25). Jimmy liked better to be in the company of peers rather than study, and his father condoned it. When Jimmy was not doing well at Dublin University, his father let him go off to Cambridge where he could "see life a little". While there he seemed to run the bills a little high, and his father took care of all t .....
