.... one or both, to earth: as yet, however, they might be said to form one tree - a ruin; but an entire ruin. 'You did right to hold fast to each other,' I said: as if the monster-splinters were living things, and could hear me. 'I think, scathed as you look, and charred and scorched, there must be little sense of life in you yet; rising out of that adhesion at the faithful, honest roots: you will never have green leaves more - never more see birds making nests and singing idylls in your boughs; the time of love and pleasure is over with you; but you are not desolate: each of you has a comrade to sympathize with him in his decay.'" As reflected in the passage above, nature plays ....

.... but I had not the courage to knock... I found it strange that neither I nor the day seemed in a mourning mood and I felt even annoyed at discovering in myself a sensation of freedom as if I had been freed from something by his death." ( Joyce, Dubliners 5-6) What he had felt freed from was always being under the constant supervision of the priest to do what he felt was righteous. It is not until the end of the story that the boy realizes from one of the Sisters, Eliza, about the priest madness as well as his physical and spiritual paralysis. He understands that the priest had been a living his life in a way he felt would be satisfying to the church which eventu ....

.... 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 find his salvation when he begins to look on the 'slimy things' as creatures of strange beauty" (Fraser 203), he understands the Albatross was a symbol of nature and he realized what he had done wrong. The mariner is forgiven after sufficient penance ....

.... exchanging of money took place. Buck was loaded onto an express car to Seattle. On his way to Seattle, he found that a man in a red sweater repeatedly beat him. From then on, I knew that Buck would never forget that experience. In that part of the book, I found out that Buck was now an enraged animal and could only be tamed by repeatedly being hit with a club or a whip. At this point of the book, I was thinking about Judge Miller. He would’ve sent out a message or an investigation in order to find Buck. Because Judge Miller had a big house to live in, the book implied that he was wealthy. The trip to Seattle must of taken days and by then, Judge Miller would’ve been wor ....

.... head as if the reader were there with him. What separates the reader from the character is the fact that the reader knows it's only a dream, and Arthur doesn't. This is an interesting way of keeping the reader a safe distance from the goings on of the story. Malory uses this method again, when Arthur and his army are about to negotiate with Mordred and his. One of the King's soldiers notices a snake about to bite him, and he draws his sword to slay it. All that Mordred's men see is the blade being drawn, and a battle immediately ensues. Once again, the reader is told more than the characters. The only thing keeping the reader a part of the story is the vivid descrip ....

.... only howling voices. Goodman eventually reaches his destination and sees the rest of the towns people there participating in evil acts. When he sees this it destroys any faith he might have had in the community or in himself and he appears to give-up on life. The following morning he finds himself in the forest and wonders what happened to him the previous night. He didn’t know if what he witnessed was real or imaginary, he seems to believe what he remembered happened and trusts no one in the village, not even his wife. When Goodman comes back he thinks he is better than the rest and judges everyone that they are devil worshippers, and sees himself as the only good p ....

.... plot is actually ironic in the end; Gatsby is murdered and never gets Daisy, the women he loves. The plot is well structured and easy to follow even though it is very complex and has a lot of internal conflicts. The plot is very entertaining because it involves a character striving for a goal that he is never able to accomplish. The Characters in the novel played a big role in developing the story. The characters give the impression that they are respectable and wealthy. They all are very charming and elicit. They are in fact horrible people who had hardly any morals. These characters portrayed people who were corrupt and dishonest. They are likeable because they liv ....
