Symbolism In Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird
Number of pages: 7 | Number of words: 1729.... do have their share of
symbolism. For instance, the building of a snowman by Jem and Scout one
winter is very symbolic. There was not enough snow to make a snowman
entirely out of snow, so Jem made a foundation out of dirt, and then
covered it with what snow they had. One could interpret this in two
different ways. First of all, the creation of the snowman by Jem can be
seen as being symbolic of Jem trying to cover up the black man and showing
that he is the same as the white man, that all human beings are virtually
the same. Approval of these views is shown by Atticus when he .....

Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 891....

The Killer Angels (Gettysburg)
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 816.... and I liked it. I liked the book because I learned many things from it. I’d never thought much about the importance of the Battle of Gettysburg until I read The Killer Angels. From this book I learned many things. I learned that the Battle of Gettysburg was the turning point of the Civil War. Prior to Gettysburg, the South had won most major battles. At Gettysburg, however, the North gained it’s first major victory. From then on, the North continued to gain momentum, winning virtually every battle for the following two years of the war.

The Influence That Hsi Yu Chi
Number of pages: 6 | Number of words: 1633.... was considered as a disgrace to the community of writers. This ludicrous work which lacked philosophical depth and profundity was not only a satire of the Chinese Imperial System and Chinese bureaucracy, but it was an insult to the two most dominant religions at the time, Buddhism and Taoism. The writer had taken the text 'Hsi Yu Chi' and turned it into what was considered at the time, utter nonsense.
No wonder it was released anonymously.
Until very recently, an unabridged edition of 'Hsi Yu Chi' has not been available to Western Readers. Professor Yu has done a
marvelous j .....
