Beloved: Sethe's Motivation For Killing Her Baby

... has Sethe acted out of true love or selfish pride? The fact that Sethe's act is irrational can easily be decided upon. Does Sethe kill her baby girl because she wants to save the baby from slavery or does Sethe end her daughter's life because of a selfish refusal to reenter a life of slavery? By examining the complexities of Sethe's character it can be said that she is a woman who chooses to love her children but not herself. Sethe kills her baby because, in Sethe's mind, her children are the only good and pure part of who she is and must b ...

Book Report On Dostoevsky's "The Brothers Karamazov"

... is the embodiment and the source of this immorality. In him Dostoevsky creates such perversity and depravity that one can feel no positive emotions for the man. His physical appearance--he is "flabby" with "small, suspicious eyes" and a "long, cavernous mouth with puffy lips, behind which could be glimpsed small fragments of black teeth"--accurately reflects his foul, disgusting character. He has no respect for himself; he enjoys playing the part of the shameless "buffoon" for attention, even though the attention he receives is negative. ...

Treasure Island: Teamwork Overcomes Greed

... working with one another much can be accomplished. Also after reading this book the reader will ponder on a rather simple question about money and life and will realize the pirates obviously answered the question wrong. To begin, conflicts on the voyage arose because of opposing viewpoints. For example, Squire Trewlawny took an immediate dislike to Captain Smallet and that was just one of the problems the characters had to deal with on board. However, after hearing about the pirates’ plan of mutiny for them, the Squire knows he and the ...

The Witches In Macbeth

... two heroes is mysteriously wrapped up in these oracles, which in part foreshadow, and in part cause what they foreshadow (Snider 215). What Denton Snider means is that the witches foreshadow the play, but also through that the build up the greed to have Macbeth cause what they foreshadow. This supports my thesis. Since Macbeth knows he is going to become king, he thinks why should he not become king now, instead of having to wait. Hazlitt stated that the reason for all of Macbeth s crimes were the witches, who surprised him, and he was ...

Amazing Grace A Book Report

... "Why should their childhood be different from others across the country?" arose often and needs to be examined by all. In some ways the stories, accounts and tales of these inner city children were shocking. I was aware that slums existed, but knew nothing of how they functioned, what living conditions were really like, or how the people there managed to live. But in no way was I aware that such conditions existed in America, the so called "Land of Opportunity." It seems it was just the opposite in these ghettos. There was very littl ...

Mixed Emotions In The Story Of An Hour

... is somewhat unusual, as Chopin puts it. “She did not hear the story as many woman have heard the same, with a paralyzed inability to accept its significance. She wept at once, with sudden, wild abandonment, in her sister’s arms” (Chopin 47). It is implied that Mrs. Mallard’s love for her husband has disappeared and she takes the news rather calmly. Mrs. Mallard cries not because of the tragedy, but because it is expected of her. Many responses come from already learned behavior. People react the way they are taught. Mrs. Mallard w ...

Kafka: The Reality Of Change

... and experience life through an author’s imagination while gaining valuable knowledge about ourselves. In Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis, the nature of Gregor Samsa’s reality changes insignificantly in spite of his drastic physical changes. Gregor’s life before the metamorphosis was limited to working and caring for his family. As a travelling salesman, Gregor worked long, hard hours that left little time to experience “life.” He reflects on his so-called life acknowledging the “plague of traveling: the anxieties of changing trains ...

Managing Globalization

... to the environment - and at the present, driven by only a few hundred multinational corporations. Lodge describes and analyzes the process on a truly global level, looking at the relationships among the world's economic, technological, political, and cultural aspects to provide more realistic insights than purely management-based books on the subject. Business in tandem with government must develop safe new institutions to manage global tensions. And communitarianism, or collective leadership among the world's peoples, he say ...

A Farewell To Arms - Response

... by the death of Catherine and the baby and Henry's sudden solitude. "What happens now?" I felt, as I so often do when I finish a book that I want to go on forever. This is infinitely more difficult with a book that has no conclusion, and FTA leaves a reader not only emotionally exhausted but also just as alone as Henry and with nowhere to go. The entire work was aware of where it was going and what was going to happen next, and then to stop the way it did was unfair. Now, I've read enough essays while deciding which would be the topic f ...

... to the conversation. For example, when Daisy has lunch with Nick Carraway she says, “‘I love to see you at my table, Nick. You remind me of a---rose, an absolute rose. Doesn’t he?’”(Fitzgerald 19). Daisy says this knowing that it may sound stupid, but she feels that all women should put on an act. Daisy makes a statement to Nick about when her daughter was born, “‘ She told me it was a girl, and so I turned my head away and wept. ‘All right’ I said, ‘I’ m glad it’s a girl. And I hope she’ ll be a fool- th ...
