... use of symbolism, Arthur Miller portrays Willy’s (along with the other Lowmans’) problems with family life, the society, and himself in Death of a Salesman.

Lord Of The Flies- Civilizatio

... that civilization cannot control them, or it can keep them in control only to an extent. We all have the capability of savagery inside of us.

... South. In the eye of southern whites, blacks are the bottom rung. Their acceptable place in life is to serve and meet the everyday needs of the Anglos, merely property and nothing more.

Poetry Assignment

... chief differences. Although the poems were written more than a century apart from each other, after rereading them numerous times, they left me with an unimaginable amount of thinking and writing ground. The two poems "The Sick Rose" and "Fog" are very much alike in the sense that they both use the introduction of weather and animals to shape the poem and give the reader a sense of displeasure. In "The Sick Rose" the poet introduces a worm and storm and in "Fog" the poet uses the fog and a cat. The subject matter is perhaps similar in these ...

Giving the sense that it was boring and plain, which Beverly seemed to think it, was. The school was even worse… Each room was painted a dark green, while the desks where in a triangular form as if it were an elementary class.

The Future Of The Race

... to speak for the whole African American race. Gates and West, two of our leading black intellectuals, cast themselves as the grandchildren of what Du Bois called the Talented Tenth. Perhaps, with the Du Boisian Vandyke beards and the DuBoisian three-piece suits, the grandsons of Du Bois himself. Certainly they are taking upon themselves the Talented Tenth’s early twentieth century responsibility to lead the race. Who is the Talented Tenth? This time-bound phrase comes from Du Bois’s 1903 essay, “The Negro Problem,& ...

Hamlet - Characters And Plot

... for revenge at any cost. In contrast to Laertes speculation of his father's killer, Hamlet presumes the individual spying on his conversation with Gertrude is Claudius("Nay, I know not: is it the King?" Act 3, Scene 4 line 28). Consequently, Hamlet consumed with rage automatically thrusts out attempting to kill Claudius, but instead strikes Polonius. Hamlet's and Laertes's imprudent actions are incited by fury and frustration. Sudden anger prompts both Hamlet and Laertes to act spontaneously, giving little thought to the consequences of ...
