.... speech and more attentive, but was not considered to have the depth of character.” George Orwell also described them with their appearance before we actually saw them. We also learned somewhat about the characters by the speeches that they give; Old Major could be seen as the leader of the animals because everyone looked up to, in my thoughts he talked with power. In the book I feel that Snowball is the protagonist and Napoleon is the antagonist. Snowball was the likeable person among the animals also very admirable. The other animals looked up to him and not only because he was the leader. He put effort into the ideas that he and all the other animals came up with. He ....

.... and Eve. Prometheus was a semi-god and his job or task was to create man. After creating the man, Prometheus felt it his job to protect his creation. In doing so, he gave fire to man that he had stolen from Zeus. From Prometheus's actions he suffered for the rest of eternity. When Victor Frankenstein made his being, he made a choice to "animate lifeless clay and body-parts", to become a being. The choice he made would haunt him for the rest of his life. When Zeus finds out that Prometheus has stolen his fire, he took Prometheus to a top of a mountain and chains him to the mountain. Every day an eagle comes down and rips him open and eats his insides. During the ....

.... apparently inhabits the island. The hunters, in fear, savagely, murder Simon, ending all one's hopes for the end of evil. By the end of the novel, all the boys, except for Ralph have regressed into a primitive state and have lost all morals, until their rescue, wh en they finally see how bad they have been. The plot of this novel is based on fear, fear that leads to evil. In ‘Beast from the Water,' fear spreads through the group.

Several of them tell of monsters they have heard of, like the giant squid, and pon ....

.... covered by a big corduroy apron…” (Page 206-207) This neglect from her busband causes her to turn to her “chrysanthemums,” of which she is very proud. Her husband’s remark, “I wish you’d work out in the orchard and raise some apples that big” (Page 207), shows how little his interest he has for her chrysanthemums/herself. As shown here, Elisa does not feel appreciated by her husband and so she takes care of her chrysanthemums, symbols of how beautiful she really is. Early in the story, Steinbeck uses little symbolic phrases to let the reader know that the chrysanthemums are an extension of Elisa. Her gard ....

This also is an example of how Taylor is a round character and grows throughout the story. Another irony near the beginning of the story is when Taylor's car breaks down and she is given an Indian baby, she finds herself in the predicament that she was trying to avoid in Kentucky.

.... love for each other in the beginning was very real. Following the death of his father Hamlet falls in love with her, and is much attracted by her beauty. It is not uncertain, however, that Ophelia is very much controlled by her father. She is the daughter of Polonius, the chief advisor to the new King Claudius, and a highly respected man. Her father demands that she tell Hamlet at once that she can no longer be with him and tells her "I would not, in plain terms, from this time forth have you so slander any moment leisure as to give words or talk with the Lord Hamlet. Look to’t, I charge you. Come your ways." (I.iii.132-35). It is clear that here Polonius is maki ....

.... of a generation, the "lost generation" that appears to result from Hemingway's novel. Ernest Hemingway uses intense short stories to leave a feeling of awe and wonder in the reader of In Our Time. One begins to become emotionally involved and attached to Hemingway's many stories, just as he himself appears to hold some personal attachment and emotion to each story. One could even speculate that In Our Time's main character Nick, is in fact, Hemingway himself. It seems as though no matter what age this novel is read at, it could be discussed as a representation of the "lost generation." What is meant by the phrase "lost generation?" Possibly it means the loss of a kindlier, f ....

She holds not her tongue, and says exactly what she thinks, even if she contradicts others, even Jesus. For in the Bible it states that Jesus “ Spak in repreve of the Samaritan:/‘Thou hast yhad five housbondes,' quod he,/‘And that ilke man that now hath thee/Is nat thyn housbonde'” (P16). Despite this quote from the holy writ, the Wife states that ther are no other arguments “Eek wel I woot he [Jesus] saide that myn housbonde/Sholde lete fader and moder and take me,/But of no nombre menc ....
