.... the fact that Marker and Barthes are even considering the same ideas upon which they can differ is an amazing similarity. Perhaps every single major idea Barthes addresses in his novel I can find addressed in La Jetee. Because of this fact, and because of the power of both works, I was led at the end of my research to some new, yet fundamental ideas about the nature of photography itself. One of the most interesting aspects of this study, and also the most challenging, is the nature of Marker's “film” itself. Simply the fact that I have to put the word film in quotes when applying it to La Jetee is perhaps the strongest evidence of the enigma that this film has been t ....

.... that pap was far away before starting his getaway. At this point, many children of Huck's age would merely get in a canoe and head down stream, most likely getting caught the next day. Huckleberry Finn is smarter than that. Huck wanted to make sure that no one would come down the river looking for him, except to make his corpse rise. First, he collected all the supplies that he could find and loaded them into a canoe. After that, he went into the woods and caught a wild hog. He brought the hog in the Cabin, and slaughtered it, making sure that it left behind a pool of blood on the hard packed dirt ground. He disposed of the dead hog by throwing it in the river to float ....

.... his ship Captain Graveling was not happy about it, "Lieutenant, you are going to take away my best man from me, the jewel of 'em" (Melville 46). Billy was then removed from the ship. His goodbye was thought of as rather odd though. He left the Rights-of-Man waving a "genial goodbye". (Melville 49) Many would be devastated if they were forced to serve their country but Billy looked at it as an opportunity to gain new experiences (Ellis), "He rather liked this adventurous turn in affairs, which promised an opening into novel scenes and martial excitements" (Melville 49). A final way he shows individualism is when the chaplain approached him at the end of the story trying to ....

.... antagonist of the novel was time, Mr. Fogg was pressured to arrive back in London within 80 days or otherwise lose his fortune. My favorite character in the novel is Passepartout. Passepartout was an innocent Frenchman that just after being hired as Mr. Fogg's servant was told to pack for a trip around the world. Throughout the entire novel the reader is informed of all the peculiar habits of Fogg that Passepartout had to support. My least favorite character is Fix the detective. He followed Fogg around the globe, he missed arresting him in India and Hong Kong through incompetence, and as soon as they arrived back in London, he did arrest Fogg but erroneously ....

.... Englishman to which she is sold into marriage. It is obvious that Jean Rhys meant to write her novel as a prequel to Jane Eyre, as if to expose the truth behind the madness of the madwoman in the attic, by giving Antoinette a voice. In Chapter XXVI of Jane Eyre, Charlotte Brontë describes Bertha Mason through Mr. Rochester’s speech in the interruption of his wedding with Jane. “Bertha Mason is mad; and she came of a mad family, idiots and maniacs through three generations!”(Brontë). Later, in the same chapter, she is further described as having a “discoloured face”, “a savage face” with “fearful blackened inflation of th ....

.... focus of the novella revealed through the protagonist’s and antagonists perspectives. While passing through the Thames with a group of other sailors, Marlow reminisces about how the land was once a place of darkness and uncivilized inhabitants. Beginning his story at dusk and finishing it in full darkness, Marlow speaks of how his dear aunt commissioned him a job aboard the fleet and of how he was sent down as an “emissary of light” to bring solace and transformation to an otherwise backward nation. His responsibility to the people of the Congo is evident when he sees the condition that the natives are in. In the beginning of the novella Marlow is repul ....
