.... this is the first instance in which Jefferson breaks his somber barrier and shows emotions. At that point he became a man, not a hog. As far as the story tells, he never showed any sort of emotion before the shooting or after up until that point. A hog can't show emotions, but a man can. There is the epiphany of the story, where Mr. Wiggins realizes that the purpose of life is to help make the world a better place, and at that time he no longer minds visiting Jefferson and begins becoming his friend. Mr. Wiggins' relationship with his Aunt declined in this story, although i .....

.... pattern with the woman seems to be related to the way she is being treated by her husband, John. John is very protective of her wife because she is in all reality a very sick woman. She feels trapped because of this and the way she sees the paper must be an indication. She stays up late at night and hours on end during the day to stare at worthless, tattered, yellow wallpaper. This story really bored me to death. All I could think of was, "when is this story going to be over?" I remember having a highly active imagination as a child but this is ridiculous. She sees mushro .....

.... were revealed (Niane 3). During wartime, a man would have to know how to kill his own food to survive, and knowing which plants would heal the wounds of injured sofas and cure their diseases was important to the survival of the troops. A great hunter would never die of hunger or wounds not treated properly. In , the Muslim rulers were portrayed as powerful, respected, good rulers. Sundiata was a Muslim as well as Soumaba Cisse¢. When Sundiata first arrived at the court of Soumaba Cisse¢, he was at prayer. Soumaba Cisse¢ gave asylum to the exiled Sundiata and his fam .....

.... everyone even though his intelligence is greater than theirs. He becomes Ralph’s only friend at the end. Roger is the last important character and he is the one who supported the killing that Ralph tried to stop. Lord of the Flies is full of symbolism. For example; Jack represents the primitive nature in man and Ralph represents civilization. Also, Piggy’s glasses represent the civilization that they are losing. When Piggy’s glasses are taken it seems like the end of whatever civilization they had left. Also the sows head that is speaks to Simon represents the devil or .....

.... I believe Ethan could have changed the direction of his life if he had gone away from the farm to marry Mattie. The reason he did not have control of his life was because he was married to Zeena. If he would have married Mattie and left Zeena, he would not have been in the sled accident, and consequently, he would have lived a much happier life with Mattie. The second way Ethan could have changed the direction of his life is if he would have sold the farm and never have married Zeena. This would have saved him many years of problems and unhappiness. He would neve .....

.... the word "legitimate" sarcastically when saying, "well, my legitimate," since he does not mean it in a positive way. Again he mentions legitimate negatively saying that he, the base, shall top the legitimate meaning that one day he will exceed his brother. This sarcasm shows the bitterness with which Edmund views all legitimate children. Another way of showing bitterness, which has almost the same effect as sarcasm, is ridiculing. Edmund feels that married couples are "between asleep and awake" when they go to "creating a whole tribe of fops". This nasty way of referring t .....

.... to come to Mexico in 1912 to teach English to the children of a wealthy landowner. What she finds is a general in Pancho Villa’s Revolutionary Army and an old American journalist, on a quest for adventure and death. The climax is reached at the death of the old gringo and the Mexican general. The story then ends with the return to the United States made by Harriet Winslow. This story reminds me very much with the story of Pocahontas. The old gringo and the general, Tomas Arroyo, both desired Harriet Winslow’s love. In the story of Pocahontas, John Smith and .....
