All Quiet On The Western Front

... the first chapter expressed his desire for the dying Kemmerich’s boots, is in reality very sympathetic to Kemmerich’s suffering, but he sees that Kemmerich no longer has any need for the boots. Because of this, he feels has more of a rightful claim to them than a hospital orderly. The men now see problems from this perspective and good boots, like Kemmerich’s, are hard to find.

The Bluest Eye

... could gain. Pecola looked at the dandelions and saw something that no one else could see. She saw their beauty and not their nuisance. She was walking down the street when her eye caught hold of the dandelions, "Why, she wonders, do people call them weeds? She thought they were pretty" (Morrison 47). Pecola is like the dandelions: most people pay no attention to her, and instead, try to keep her as far away from themselves as possible. If people could just look closer, they might see the beauty in the dandelions and in Pecola. Howeve ...

... and beliefs of the characters in the story. The town of Jefferson is a fallen legacy. The hierarchical regime of the Griersons and the class system of the time where by ordinance of the mayor- Colonel Sartoris, a Negro women could not even walk the street without an apron, had changed into a place where even the street on which Miss Emily lived, that had once been the most select, had now been encroached and obliterated, her house an eyesore among eyesores.

Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird

... in the ways of the world, much like an adult in a child’s mind rather than an adult reminiscing about childhood. For example, Scout’s revelation at the end of the novel. while she was standing on the Radley porch, was clearly beyond a child’s capability. Most adults would be too traumatized by the experience in the forest even to be lucid, let alone come to the deep philosophical epiphany that she reached about Boo. Instead of a character revelation from Scout, it comes across more as a direct message from the author, as if she had te ...

Dove

... each one of them shared in the journey with Robin. Robin wasn't the only courageous person, Patti was as courageous because of the baby she had during the trip going with Robin even with the chance of labor at any moment.

King Lear 3

... losing his three daughters was probably the greatest tragedy that occurs to a parent, king or not. King Lear's punishment could be seen as a simple problem that was blown totally out of proportion in many ways. This tragedy went totally against Socrates' beliefs, which were, "If we conduct our lives reasonably and morally, we shall live a good life." This story shows that is really does not matter how good or evil you are throughout your life, there will always be things that occur that are never under your control whether they are neg ...

The Handmaids Tale

... within the feminist movement in the 70s and early 80s. Atwood has been very much a part of that movement, but she has never been a mere mouthpiece for any group, always insisting on her individual perspectives. The defeat of the Equal Rights Amendment, the rise of the religious right, the election of Ronald Reagan, and many sorts of backlash (mostly hugely misinformed) against the women's movement led writers like Atwood to fear that the antifeminist tide could not only prevent further gains for women, but turn back the clock. Dystopias ...

Ancient Mariner

... this power continues to teach us of forgiveness. With physical suffering, the power of nature shows us forgiveness many ways. In the story, the mariner betrays nature: "I shot the Albatross!" This action against nature is rather extreme, for he takes lightly to this thought of death. The Albatross, as a representative of nature, means nothing to the Mariner. These thoughts are quickly changed, though, as Nature begins to start the penance leading towards forgiveness - "Water, water, everywhere nor any drop to drink." When "the mariner begins ...

To Kill A Mocking Bird

... to Tom Robinson. He was accused of a crime he didn’t commit and then he was killed because someone was lonely. She got him in trouble, which drove him to his death. In this example, life is definitely not fair because he never should have been accused of something he did not do. I could give several examples of smaller, less important situations that have the same theme as this story does “do not harm people who do not harm you.” The setting of this book was in Maycomb, Alabama in the 1930’s. Scout, Jem and Dill spend the summ ...

The Catcher In The Rye: Holden Deals With Alcohol, Sex, And Violence

... reason for underage teenage drinking is they believe in a mixture of rebellion towards their parents and a sign of maturity. Another reason for teenage drinking is it represents a daring gesture. According to Dr. Joseph Franklin, "The way drinking starts is, one kid dares another kid to take a drink of alcohol, and the kid doesn't want his friends to think he is a coward so he does. Then the rest of them follow." In the book, Between Parent and Teenager, it states the substance abuse is the number one cause of death amongst teenagers. Studies ...
