.... conception of Daisy is the motivating force that underlies his compulsion to become successful. Everything he has done, up to this point, has been directed toward winning Daisy’s favor and having her back in his life. The greatest example of this dedication is the mansion he has constructed, “a colossal affair by any standard...with a tower on one side, spanking new under a thin beard of raw ivy, and a marble swimming pool, and more than forty acres of lawn and garden” (9). Once a “penniless young man without a past” (156), he transforms himself into a self-made millionair .....

A fairly ingenuous first-year doctoral student, I read Pater's description and recognized precisely that quality of the literature of the Middle Ages that I find so compelling. Soon enough, however, it became clear that "" was not something Pater meant as a compliment; he was giving a description of medieval artistic efforts I have since learned that many who champion the Renaissance are apt to give.

.... to no avail. As he sat stranded on page three of his mathematical conquest, he was overcome by a wealth of distractions. The golden sun was shining down on him that day, or so it seemed, for as he was drifting off to sleep the muffled shout of a man shattered what would appear to be his last enjoyable day; at least for a long time.

.... ourselves and to watch out for each other. She has taught us how to give and not just receive all the time. Last but not least, she sponsors a needy child in India. My mother is always doing anything she can to help someone out. She gives seven dollars a day to a child who really needs food, clothes, love, and an education. She also goes downtown every weekend to deliver sandwiches that she hand makes to the homeless. She gives clothes and toys to the less fortunate. She is a very heroic and courages woman. My mother is similar to Beowulf because she tries to help others and sa .....

.... the bible), and Croesus. From each author he tells a story about an individual who had a vision in a dream and the dream came true. He may have been making all the stories up in order to win the argument with Pertelote, but, this seems unlikely because he does not take heed to his own advice and stay away from the fox that encounters him later. He is educated enough to know these supposed quotations but not intelligent enough to understand the real meaning of them. It is if he simply brings because they help him win the argument with his spouse a .....

.... way of saying that there needs to be a balance between freedom and rules. Jim's opinion is that he wants to be free from Mrs. Watson. He also wants to be like Huck free from nature and society; he explains his freedom as superstition. For example, he wants to be free like a bird that can fly away and do whatever he wants without anyone telling him he has to do. Journey to freedom is literal, meaning that he has no rights besides those given to him by his owners. He knows he wants freedom, to make his own choices and decisions, but he doesn't really know what a life of fre .....
