.... that he was perfect because he did not appear to have any problems and looked to be very happy. The last setting that was used was a calm summer night. This setting makes everything seem so peaceful, but in reality Richard Cory was killing himself. It is an ironic setting because we think just the opposite as we are reading the poem. The second way the author illustrates the theme is imagery. The fact that Richard Cory was viewed as quietly arrayed makes the reader think that he has no problems and that everyone wants to be like him. Also, the poem states that he is “richer than a king” so the audience gets the feeling that this is a happy man who is happy with his su ....

.... that connects most of the conflicts together is that of greed. Greed is one of the three major themes in the novel "McTeague". McTeague shows the dangers of greed and how it can get the best of you. This novel shows how money can make you from a caring person into a evil person. Zerkow was greatly obsessed with gold and riches. The same obsession for money was in all of the characters. Zerkow was viewed as a "lost" soul and Trina as a proper young lady, yet they were both almost exactly alike. Here are some quotes on greed. "Miser, nasty little old miser. You're worse than old Zerkow, always nagging about money, money, and you got five thousand dollars. You got more, an' you ....

.... speaker, although he is indeed involved with the situation he is speaking about. In this chapter he recalls Jewel's purchase of his horse. This is a strong clue that Jewel is not Anse's son, since Anse is extremely lazy and would never work as hard as Jewel did for a horse. We also see the tension between Anse and Jewel. We see the lack of respect Jewel has for Anse. It is rather ironic when Anse says "He's just lazy, trying me" (p. 129) Since Jewel has been working really hard, and it is Anse who is lazy. Furthering on Jewel and Anse's relationship, I feel that it is fairly evident that Jewel knows that Anse is not his father. This is illustrated in the following section on ....

.... There is no room for love, or real emotional ties. John Savage does not agree with these ideas, but he fails to see the implications of loving others. In our society, love and sexual desire are the causes of murder, suicide, and rape. “Everyone belongs to everyone else”(pg.35). This is one of the many hypnopaedic messages that are repeated to the Fordians. It prevents them from feeling passion, desire, lust, jealousy, and true love. In absence of these feelings, they are free from emotional ties and have no reason to rape or murder someone because of inner desires. They are able to express their sexuality with others, and release sexual tension. Hurt and pain ....

.... on Gregor's financial support and had little in terms of responsibilities. Kafka explains this lack of work when he writes, "they [Gregor's parents] had formed the conviction that Gregor was set for life in his firm . . . they were so preoccupied with their immediate troubles that they had lost all consideration for the future,"(17). By taking the initiative and writing to their employers, Gregor's family proves that they no longer depend on Gregor. The scene at the kitchen table proves revealing once again when Mr. Samsa announces that he will fire the cleaning lady (17). By doing so, Mr. Samsa demonstrates that he has changed and can take responsibility. Gr ....

.... when they have lived in safety and peace and are uninterested in a faith that does not fulfill their needs for music, joy and love, instead of discipline of a higher being. Okonkwo, the protagonist of the story, could remember to “another time” when children, like his own son Nwoye, were not lazy. He could also remember the indolence of his own father, Unoka, and that his father had not received any titles as a clansman. He was determined to be a respected farmer of yams to ward off the shame of his unsuccessful and dishonorable father. Fortunately, among these people a man was judged by his worth and not according to the worth of ....

So the animals worked hard day and night to build the windmill. In the mean time Napoleon was beginning to change the rules around more and more. ....

.... at work in the woman's beauty, and also the two areas of her beauty-the internal and the external. The poem appears to be about a lover, but in fact was written about "Byron's cousin, Anne Wilmot, whom he met at a party in a mourning dress of spangled black" (Leung 312). This fact, the black dress that was brightened with spangles, helps the reader to understand the origin of the poem. Byron portrays this, the mixing of the darkness and the light, not by describing the dress or the woman's actions, but by describing her physical beauty as well as her interior strengths. In the beginning of the poem, the reader is given the image of darkness: ", like the night," but th ....
