.... years down there in that-celotex interior! with- fluorescent-tubes! Look! I'd rather somebody picked up a crowbar and battered out by brains- than go back mornings. . .

Tom wishes for nothing more than to quite his job, and live a life of adventure. “I go to the movies because I like adventure. Adventure is something I don’t have much of at work, so I go to the movies.” .....

.... to expel the suitors and he doesn't completely think his actions through. However, when Athena comes to him in the form of Mentes, everything suddenly changes.

.... die, self - inflicted or not; and how we are buried after death are all of great significance - that all good deeds in life deserve the goodness of heaven, and all bad deeds deserve the pain and the punishment of hell. "Philgyas in extreme of misery cries loud through the gloom appeals warning to all mankind: Be warned, learn righteousness; and learn to scorn no god (pg. 165-66)." "All have dared a monstrous sin and achieved the sin they dared. Even had I a hundred tongues, a hundred mouths and a voice of iron, I yet could not include every shape of crime or list every punishme .....

.... as an outsider, when she is placed on the scaffold: “Knowing well her part, she ascended a flight of wooden steps, and was thus displayed to the surrounding multitude, at about the height of a mans shoulders above the street . . . . The unhappy culprit sustained herself as best a woman might, under the heavy weight of a thousand unrelenting eyes” (63-64).

This implies that her connection with the quilts is personal and emotional rather than materialistic. Dee has always been ashamed of her family; she told her mother that she would manage to come to see them but wouldn't bring her friends.  Just by saying that you can tell right off that she was ashamed to bring her friends over to the house.  She never valued anything; everything to her was old and wo .....

.... nose as you inhaled. The simplicity and the sensory richness flow directly from Hemingway's and his characters'--beliefs. The punchy, vivid language has the immediacy of a news bulletin: these are facts, Hemingway is telling us, and they can't be ignored. And just as Frederic Henry comes to distrust abstractions like "patriotism," so does Hemingway distrust them. Instead he seeks the concrete, the tangible: "hot red wine with spices, cold air that numbs your nose." A simple "good" becomes higher praise than another writer's string of decorative adjectives. Though Hemingway .....
