.... not a factor in their relationship. Manolin does not even act as a young boy; he is mature and sensitive to Santiago's feelings. He even offers to disobey his parents and accompany Santiago on his fishing trips. Santiago is viewed as an outcast in his village because he has not caught any fish for more than eighty-four days and is therefore "unlucky". Nonetheless Manolin is loyal to Santiago and even when his parents forbid him he wants to help his friend. Their conversations are comfortable, like that of two friends who have known each other for a long time. When they speak it is usually about baseball or fishing, the two things they have most in common. Their favorite team ....

.... 14, he states “You can’t believe a word they say” and “The kids who crawl outa those places are real trash”. Clearly it can be seen that he has a certain unfounded prejudice towards the defendant, viewing him as a liar and a piece of trash, with no supporting evidence. This prejudice most surely influences his verdict of ‘guilty’ without view of any evidence. If that is not enough, starting on page 62 begins a speech lasting 2 pages in which he spews out his views of people like the defendant: “Human life doesn’t mean as much to them as it does to us…And they are-wild animals.” is an impatient and uncaring ....

.... history is written is merely fluid prejudice." There are many other instances in which Clemens uses prejudice as a foundation for the entertainment of his writings such as this quote he said about foreigners in The Innocents Abroad: "They spell it Vinci and pronounce it Vinchy; foreigners always spell better than they pronounce." Even in the opening paragraph of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Clemens states, "Persons attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot." There were many groups that Clemens contrasted in The Adventures of Huckle ....

.... days after giving birth. Shelley was also an outcast to her family and the society. Too educated, too open-minded, and too in love with a married man, caused her to become a scandal. Also, the fact that from all the babies she gave birth to, only one survived, made the impression of her not being the perfect parent. Mary Shelley was none other but the mother of death itself, which influenced her novel. “Frankenstein is indeed a birth myth , but one in which the parent who brought death into the world, and all our woe, is not a woman but a man who pushed the masculine prerogative past the limits of nature , creating life not through the female body, but in a laborat ....

.... even recognize that he had already defeated an enemy set to wipe his heritage. PFC Grossbart and Captain Barrett were Marx’s next opponents. Grossbart first introduced himself as “Sheldon” to try to get on a first name basis with Marx for a familiarity that Marx did not want. Grossbart suspected Marx was Jewish by the spelling of his last name which he spelled out as “M-a-r-x”. Grossbart led Marx into believing he was interested in going to church instead of cleaning the barracks. Marx knowing it was unfair that they were denied the chance to attend service told Grossbart he could “attend shul”. By calling the service shul and not ch ....

.... by what he is ordered to do but he knows so much about the way people work and think that he can spot when a man is about to fold. He is very brave and cunning from what has been read so far and is very skilled at his job. Jordan's guide in the jungle is a man of 68 years named Anselmo. Anselmo is very agile and strong for his age and is a good guide. In addition to this, he is also very wise and provides meaningful insight when a situation arises. There has been no turning point in the book other than Robert Jordan getting his mission orders which is really the beginning and not a turning point. My personal opinion of the book so far is good. I like th ....

.... suffers many consequences of committing adultery. First of all, she becomes pregnant. She has to go through all the pain of childbirth. A symbolic name that means purchased at a great price. Hester is also left out in the social point of view. All of the citizens of Boston look down and condemn her for the sin she committed. Although Hester is clearly a Puritan, she does fully acknowledge her sin and boldly displays it to the world. She dresses Pearl in scarlet as a second symbol, and wears the scarlet A long after she could have removed it. All these things are proof that she was trying to hide nothing. Hester’s salvation lies in truth. Adultery also led t ....

.... center of the age of the New Negro. They were people enthalled, the decived in Jazz, by the music. The images of the music were encompased in the young girl Dorcss, whom Joe fell in love with despite his attachement to Violet. The story opens with Dorcas’s funeral, where Violet had tried to slash the poor dead girl’s face, now the town reffered to her as “Violent”. Joe had killed the girl because she had tried to leave him. From that point on the story became a struggle of suffering and survival after the deception of “jazz”. Jazz symbolized the music that bloomed along with the Harlem Reniassance ....
