.... that this is because of her position at the time. Behn, being a woman, faced many prejudices from male writers and critics, although she was praised by some. Yet the anthology introduction states that she openly signed her name and talked back to critics. If this is true why would she be afraid to take a more open stance towards the question of slavery. Why does the antislavery perspective have to come from a slave, someone who is obviously going to be antislavery and not that of someone with a higher rank in society whose feelings toward the issue would be more considered. &# .....

.... work only for what is taught to be the common happiness. True pleasures of life are not allowed. Since they do not see personal benefits and fulfillment from their work, they lack enthusiasm and personal initiative. It is as though everybody has been brainwashed to one collective way. The people consider themselves as one body. Though collectivisim may have certain benefits, in Anthem it is taken to a dangerous extreme. Their collective society has nearly wiped out any traces of the individual. For example thoughts or opinions that are different from your brother are the root .....

.... the “bad” guy. Through an examination of the conflicts present in “The Most Dangerous Game” and “The Destroyers,” this difference can clearly be seen. For the most part, the problems that arise in everyday life do not have clearly defined meanings, and they are not always so clearly marked. However, in commercial fiction works such as “The Most Dangerous Game,” the conflict between protagonist and antagonist is clear-cut and identifiable. The purpose of such literary works is not to emulate life, but rather to allow the reader to escape into a world of fantasy where he or she k .....

.... to the dark lady-and these can be seen as brutally defiant of Petrarchanism, yet the history of criticism is strewn with failed attempts to determine the identity of this mystery woman" (Hadfield). He starts off his sonnet by implanting an image in our head of a summer day. A summer day triggers a scene that flashes in our head of children playing and the sun shining, basically a carefree day where everything is beautiful. He contemplates whether or not to compare his love to this ideal day, "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" (Line 1) but decides against it in h .....

.... “But she sat down to rest.”(117) As she rested, Phoenix started thinking about how hungry she is and imaging a food being brought to her. “But when she went to take it there was just her own hand in the air.”(117) Imagining Phoenix condition, she can only wish and stay strong enough to keep walking. She didn’t stop there. Phoenix knew she needed to find a safe place, so she would not face harm. Even though she was hungry.

.... way, and got her percentage, a very small little of her earnings: it is a business, you see, like any other- and the madam used to pretend the girl had given back only so many checks, you see, and really she had given many more, but after they were out of her hands, what could she do?” (Page 121) This quote shows how the woman of the house cheated Ninette out of her money. These next two quotes tell how Ninette was physically abused. “So she would say, I will get out of this place, and curse and cry. Then the madam would hit her over the head.” (Page 121-122) “The girl .....

.... part of the conversation. The poem is set on a cold chilly night. The poet is more cynical and formal when she is talking about the snowman. The phrase ‘an idle mind is a devil’s workshop’ is very applicable here since the thief has nothing to do, so to keep himself busy he breaks into people’s homes. He has a rather ruthless philosophy of life that ‘better of dead than giving in, not taking what you want’. He steals not for money but for the pleasure. He tries to be part of families by collecting photographs of them, this is evidence of .....
