.... their very selves [are] closing in around a structure yet unbuilt, where they [are] to sit knitting, knitting, counting dropping heads� to show that in the future, Madame Defarge and her women knit while counting the heads being severed by La Guillotine (187). Another instance of foreshadowing is the revenge of the poor people against the aristocrats. When Dickens writes, “there [is] a flutter in the air that fan[s] Saint Antoine and his devouring hunger far away� he is referring to the poor people in Saint Antoine such as the Defarges and their death craving towards t .....

.... things do not matter, what matters is her "house on high." Jonathan Edwards also found comfort in god, "leading me to sweet contemplations of my great and glorious God." Jonathan was also a puritan from the early America, however, he was a preacher. Like Anne Bradstreet, he did not believe in material things. In his sermon entitle Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, he states "now they see that those things on which they depended for peace and safety were nothing but thin air and empty shadows." This statement agrees with what Bradstreet .....

.... of both Long John Silver, and Dr. Jekyll. Robert Louis Stevenson’s theme of “Good vs. Evil” is prominent in the novel Treasure Island. This story begins by introducing the protagonist of the novel Jim Hawkins. Jim works at an inn, which his mother owns. An old buccaneer is staying there by the name of Billy Bones who possesses a mysterious sea chest, which many people seem to want. While he was staying at the inn, many people attempted to steal the chest from the buccaneer. Billy Bones is a very heavy drinker, which may have been the cause of his .....

.... is only escaped from the 'Self' for temporarily. Again, Siddhartha rejects and leaves the Samana ascetic knowledge. Siddhartha ends his knowledge quests: Brahminism, Samanic asceticism, and Buddhism. He turns to the use of his senses in finding his goal. His main goal is to be his 'Self'. His sense of 'being' is isolated by his knowledge. He realizes that he does not know his 'Self' which he has spent his life avoiding. He vows him self to explore the 'Self'. The second step of Siddhartha's journey is realizing that although he has knowledge, knowledge is not enough without .....

.... loneliness. He knows that when people get lonely, they tend to get sick. Studies show that people who suffer from loneliness have higher incidence of health problems. This can be determined based on his emotional behavior. "A 1998 study showed that 50 percent of patients with heart disease who reported feeling very isolated were not married and had no one in whole they could communicate with, died within five years." (ub-counseling.buffalo.edu) At the rate Crooks is headed, he will probably die in a short period of time. Gerontology stated "seniors, who attend church at least w .....

.... by the lack of understanding and compassion of an extraordinarily immoral and cruel man. Whatever Steinbeck’s intent for writing such a jarring ending, he leaves the reader with a powerful sense of the world’s immorality. In this book there were several characters, but only a few had significant roles. I would have to say Lennie is the protagonist of the book even though George is an extremely critical character as well. Lennie Small is described as being a monstrous man with the mind of a child, a shapeless face, big pale eyes, sloping s .....

.... and wants. The Common Man shows self-interest on a small scale. Take for example when More is using the Common Man's boat and the issue of payment comes up. He asks More to 'make it worth his while". This shows us how most would act in the same situation. It shows that all people have a price even if it is on a small scale. The Boatman also goes as far to hint about his 'young wife'. By mentioning her, he hopes that he will be tipped more money. He only wants enough money to get by with. This is relevant to us as we would bend or stretch the truth and his principles in or .....

.... in the river as usual, Tom fell ill to a cramp in the water and Chambers saved his life. Instead of being grateful to Chambers and thanking him, Tom said that "anybody but a blockheaded nigger would have known he was funning and left him [Tom] alone" (23). Furthermore, after Tom had gone to college (Yale) and returned back to Dawson’s Landing, he still carried this trait. This was evident when he was having a conversation with Pudd’nhead Wilson. At the time, Mr. Wilson was hosting guests, two of which were from out-of-town. Regardless of the obvious compa .....
