Cry The Beloved Country By Ala
966 Words - 4 Pages.... out the laws. When fear is so deeply ingrained in a society, it can cause people to strike out in violence, or to submit and be voiceless to unjust authority. “Have no doubt it is fear in her eyes…. ‘I have nothing to tell,’ she said. ‘You have nothing to tell because you are afraid.’”(Pg. 46-47) The woman, Mrs. Mkize, is one of the many blacks who are terrified by the whites. She doesn’t want the police to come to her house, and does not know if she can trust Msimangu and Kumalo. This constant apprehension causes people to act in ways that they normally would not.
It is this same panic that caused Absolom Kumalo to shoot Arthur Jarvis. Absolom, being a crimin ....

Animal Farm

Edna's Suicide
972 Words - 4 Pages.... she wishes), she can be married (to a man of her choice), she can live alone. Each of the first two hypothetical endings would betray the point of the novel. Edna does not awaken to sex. She is liberated and does become a very sensual woman, but it is not to sexual expression that she wakens. Therefore, all options involving a lover fall short of fulfilling the meaning of her awakening. If she remains married or marries another, this would put her back (in terms of Webb) at the start of her circle: all the learning and struggling would be for naught. She would once again be a man's possession. Before rejecting the idea that marriage is equivalent to ownership in the wor ....

Pride In The Iliad
561 Words - 3 Pages.... Achilles. "Ah for a young man all looks fine and
noble if he goes down in war…he lies there dead…but whatever death lays
bare, all wounds are marks of glory." If Hector had salvaged his pride
and retreated to safety, he would have lived to defend Troy. Therefore, the
possibility arises that he could have stopped the onslaught of the Acheans

Another person within the Iliad whose pride was the downfall of his
character, was Patrocleus. Patrocleus was a great warrior, friend, and
asset to the Achiens. But, he made foo ....

not go to Gatsby's funeray.
I called up Daisy half and hour after we found him,
called her instinctively and without hersitation. But
she and Tom had gone away early that afternoon, and
taken baggage with them.
Therefore, Nick Carroway's analysis was right by these clear
observation.
