.... Each of these novels' main characters showed a deep emotional bond with another character. Huck Finn's relationship with Jim was somewhat strange, but nevertheless was strong. Jim was a runaway slave and Huck thought that it was a sin to help a runaway slave. Despite his religious beliefs, Huck knew that he was "the best friend old Jim ever had, and the only one he's got now." He knew that by helping Jim he "will go to hell," but took this risk and followed his own morality. Love was also shared between two characters in Ethan Frome. The love shared in this novel was different from the love in Huckleberry Finn, for Ethan's love was of sexual nature. Ethan Frome was ma ....

.... who can't speak for himself. On the ranch Lennie is suspected to be of no value because of his lack of intelligence, and Candy's dog is thought to be of no importance because he has no teeth, can hardly see and can't eat. The dog is "no good to [Candy]" (p. 44) and he is "no good to himself" (p. 44). After Lennie kills Curley's wife, he's no good to George or himself. Carlson's luger, which is used to shoot Candy's dog in the back of the head, is also used by George to shoot Lennie in the back of the head. Slim had said earlier that he wished "somebody'd shoot [him] if [he] got old an' a cripple" (p. 45) and he also acknowledges that George has to shoot Lennie, telling ....

.... soon becomes his teacher and mentor, in spite of Merlin's already having a conventional tutor. In time, he shares all of his knowledge and wisdom with Merlin. "He taught me practical things, too; how to gather herbs and dry them to keep, how to use them for medicines, . . . poisons. He made me study the beasts and birds, . . . and-with the dead deer-I learnt about the organs and bones of the body. . . The map Galapas showed me was a copy from a book by Ptolemy of Alexandria." (The Crystal Cave, Pgs. 59-60) Galapas also helps Merlin to put the meanings of his periodic visions of the future and of events far away into action. "'Go? But if I go back, they'll kill me, o ....

.... Merriam-Webster states propaganda as “the spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person.” First, it can be seen how Snowball uses propaganda to effectively assume leadership of Animal Farm. After the rebellion, Snowball took control and broadcast his ideas upon desprate ears. “Vote for Snowball and the three day week…” (p.34) Snowball spread propaganda that would promote Animalism by building a windmill. This windmill was to be used for luxuries that would make life better for everyone on Animal Farm. Snowball also said that although the construction would be difficult all animals would benefi ....

.... Gulliver visits, there is a different ironic comparison to English/European politics and philosophy. Book 1 (Lilliput) is a rich satire of the English politics of Swift's time. The small but extremely immoral Lilliputians represent the Whig party of England, whose viscious foreign policy and accusations of treason agaainst members of the Tory party Swift despised. The small size of the Lilliputians is in inverse proportion to the amount of their corruption. Similarly, the Brobdingnagians find Gulliver's culture to be too violent for the size of its people, and Gulliver's pride in describing the English is offset by his puniness. Swift characterizes the giants of Book II to ....

.... the book. In committing an act so looked down upon by her community in Salem, she must be burdened by an “A” on her chest. As Hester suffered greatly for her transgression, the citizens suffered as well, whether knowing or not, through their hypocritical and cruel punishment. She was morally wrong in what she did, but Hester Prynne was honest enough to herself to reveal the adulterous acts that she committed. She became more accepted in her community as she accepted herself and the “A” on her chest. We all have sins, but if we don not admit to our sins we won’t be forgiven. The reverend Dimmesdale said “But still, me thinks, it must needs be better for the ....

.... In "A Doll's House," Nora must discover who she is, her personality and character, in order to leave Torvald at the conclusion of the play. She must gain a sense of control of her life to overcome the pressures of society. "As I am now, I am no wife for you" (Ibsen 67) Nora states in a realization of her need for discovery. The time of the play was between 1870- 1880, a time when a separate identity in women was not a welcomed event. Ibsen uses this controversy to bring about a type of revolution, or at least a suggestion for it, in a biased time. He uses his characters to show the actions of women are affected by society. The idea of self-discovery does not only include No ....

.... the same: neither will take major risks and both would rather stay at home rather than go off on some kind of “adventure”. Both are what are considered prominent, wealthy, normal, conforming members of their communities. However, both Babbitt and Bilbo show inner turmoil with their need to be “free”. Here is where the differences start to appear. The hobbit refers to something as simple as climbing a tree as an adventure. The prominent business man thinks that spending a weekend away from his wife and family is an adventure. To set forth upon an adventure of any kind a person needs to be free again, both characters define freedom in different ....
