The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn: Early Influences On Huckleberry Finn
1065 Words - 4 Pages.... Both women are fairly old and are really
somewhat incapable of raising a rebellious boy like Huck Finn. Nevertheless,
they attempt to make Huck into what they believe will be a better boy.
Specifically, they attempt, as Huck says, to "sivilize" him. This process
includes making Huck go to school, teaching him various religious facts, and
making him act in a way that the women find socially acceptable. Huck, who has
never had to follow many rules in his life, finds the demands the women place
upon him constraining and the life with them lonely. As a result, soon after he
first moves in with them, he runs away. He soon comes back, but, even though he
becomes somewh ....

The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn
1000 Words - 4 Pages.... and hostile world, yet Huck has one escape--the Mississippi
River constantly flowing nearby. Here nature is presented as a thought
provoking environment when experienced alone. The river is quiet and
peaceful place where Huck can revert to examine any predicament he might
find himself in: "They went off, and I got aboard the raft, feeling bad and
low…Then I thought a minute, and says to myself, hold on,- s'pose you'd a
done right and give Jim up; would you felt better than you do now? No, says
I, I'd feel bad…" (p.127). Only a few weeks with Jim and still feeling
great ambivalence, Huck returns to the river to think. Twain tries here to
tell the re ....

Young Goodman Brown: The Downfall Of Young Goodman Brown
2426 Words - 9 Pages.... into the woods to meet with the Devil, and by doing so, he leaves his
unquestionable faith in God with his wife. He resolves that he will "cling to
her skirts and follow her to Heaven." This is an example of the excessive pride
because he feels that he can sin and meet with the Devil because of this promise
that he made to himself. There is a tremendous irony to this promise because
when Goodman Brown comes back at dawn; he can no longer look at his wife with
the same faith he had before.
When Goodman Brown finally meets with the Devil, he declares that the
reason he was late was because "Faith kept me back awhile." This statement has
a double meaning bec ....

Pride And Prejudice (a Contemp
1367 Words - 5 Pages.... two other relationships because just as they are kept apart by competition in the workplace, they keep in touch through letters without knowing who the other one is. They hate each other, as do Joe and Kathleen, in person, but both couples evidently have a relationship where despite their feelings that the other is a bad person, they find each others good points online or by post. This is shown in The Shop Around the Corner in a quote from Klara, who says to Kralik, "Why, I could show you letters that would open your eyes. No, I guess you probably wouldn't understand what's in them. They're written by a type of man so far superior to you it isn't even funny." The same ....

To Kill A Mockingbird: Courage
252 Words - 1 Pages.... of Atticus, Scout, and Tom Robinson as I saw it.
First, Atticus. Atticus was one of the people who showed the
largest amount of courage. He showed courage when he shot the dog. He
showed courage in not fighting when it seemed to be the only thing to do.
But, first and foremost, he showed courage in taking the Robinson case.
Because “even though you're beaten 100 years before you started is no
reason not to do something”. This is one of the things that Atticus lives
by.
Scout also has courage, but in a different way. She has shown
courage in many situations, such as when she has stood up for her brother,
and also when she hasn't. Overall, Scout has just as much cour ....
