.... Her carefree spirit and somewhat childish manners are shown throughout the play with statements from Torvald such as, \"Is that my little lark twittering out there?\" (1). \"Is it my little squirrel bustling about?\" (2). A lark is a happy, carefree bird, and if you are to squirrel away something, you are hiding or storing it, kind of like what Nora is doing with her bag of macaroons. It seems childish that Nora must hide things such as macaroons from her husband, but if she didn\'t and he found out, she would be deceiving him and going against his wishes whi .....

.... spat round her on all sides; then the rushing Pequod, freighted with savages, and laden with fire, and burning a corpse, and plunging into that blackness of darkness, seemed the material counterpart of her monomaniac commander’s soul.” (Melville 463) This quote shows that the Devil is in Captain Ahab,.

.... first appear. Outside of a wine-shop, a wine cask is broken in the street. Many people rush around the puddle on the ground trying to scoop it up and drink as much as they can. Dickens describes the rush to the spilled wine by saying "The people within reach had suspended their business, or their idleness to run to the spot and drink the wine... some men kneeled down, made scoops with their two hands joined and sipped."(Dickens 27). This goes to show how desperate the people are. The quote also infers that many people are unemployed. As a joke, a man writes the wo .....

.... Iliad and Odyssey are the most famous of the Greek . These epic poems tell the story of the Trojan War and the events and famous people surrounding the war. Throughout the Iliad, the universality of the poem is evident as concepts of war and man vs. man conflicts are expressed through the lives of Achilles, Hector, and Patroclus.

The greed, which is evident in the character of the Pardoner, is also clearly seen in the tale. Another trait that is displayed by the Pardoner and a character in his tale is hypocrisy or insincerity. Although the Pardoner is extremely greedy, he continues to try .....
