Analysis Of King Lear
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1277

.... his daughters compete for their inheritance by judging who can proclaim their love for him in the grandest possible fashion. Cordelia finds that she is unable to show her love with mere words: "Cordelia. [Aside] What shall Cordelia speak? Love, and be silent." Act I, scene i, lines 63-64. Cordelia's nature is such that she is unable to engage in even so forgivable a deception as to satisfy an old king's vanity and pride, as we see again in the following quotation: "Cordelia. [Aside] Then poor cordelia! And not so, since I am sure my love's More ponderous than my tongue. .....

.... on Scrooge because of his attitudes and shows no feelings or compassion for Scrooge in the future. For example, the thieves are able to steal Scrooge's possessions because no body cares about Scrooge or his things. Also, the businessmen that Scrooge does business with regularly show no feelings about his death and go to his funeral simply for food. Dicken's shows a way to resolve the problem by simply treating others how you want them to treat you.

Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 1041

.... she cheated at her first big golf tournament. This creates Jordan to be a foil of Nick, because he tells himself, “I am one of the very few honest people that I have ever known” (Fitzgerald 64). Jordan connects Nick to Gatsby by bringing him to one of Gatsby’s parties with her, where Gatsby introduces himself to Nick. Jordan leads a careless life, one incident proving this is the scene where Jordan is driving Nick.

A Clockwork Orange
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1207

.... I was first interested in the book by Anthony Burgess (which in my opinion, is equally as good as the movie). "" contains only a few of the element that can make a good film. One of them is the makeup. Alex and his gang (droogs) all where a makeup when they go out and do there thing. It gives them all a look of insanity and makes them look disturbed. I think that this was well done because it gives you a feeling of fear. Being afraid of a character in a movie is an excellent way to get to know them. Another element used is the script. Stanley Kubrick used the same specia .....

Reflections On The Things They
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 858

.... up his literary art form. One thing that was interesting to mention is that I noticed when reading the story is the fact that the story is written in third person. The narrator is not actually in the story, merely telling us of the events, and yet we still get to see inside Lt. Cross’s mind to more accurately picture his feelings. The narrator also, although letting us see the innermost, personal thoughts of Cross, always refers to the Lieutenant as either "he,", "him," or "Lt. Cross," never speaking of him by only his first name, which may seem rather formal. Also, .....


A Great Heron
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 360

.... cow that is a "valued companion" (text). This shows us that the girl can trust her rural friend while urban people cannot. Later the girl's past is shown to us and we can see how she is much more comfortable in nature. This is confirmed when the boy appears. Sylvia is terrified of him but later is interested in him because of his kindness. Because of Sylvia's bad urban history, she can see how wonderful rural life is and will not allow the boy to Eric Godsey corrupt her. She will not betray nature by helping the boy find the heron or by taking his money. She can see the differ .....
