.... before she caught some germs. I told Scout to spit it out immediately. She was actually pretty obedient and spit the gum out. She told me that she had been chewing it all afternoon and that if she wasn't dead and didn't feel sick. She was obviously mad at me for ruining her chewing enjoyment but I didn't want her getting sick because knowing Atticus, I'd be the one who would have to take care of her and that wouldn't go over to well with me since I know I could have stopped her from getting sick. I think I yelled at her and said that isn't she supposed to know that she isn't allowed even near those trees. We all know about that weird guy Boo Radley and we know t ....

.... different surroundings and events. Although the circumstances are different, Henry James and D. H. Lawrence characterize the children as being Impoverished. Henry James in his novel What Maisie Knew , portrays the main character, Maisie, as being impoverished emotionally. The emotional poverty that Maisie experiences in her life exist because of her parents extremely vicious hatred for each other. They use Maisie as a “vessel for bitterness” (13). To Beale and Ida, Maisie was just a tool that they used to hurt the other person. Eventually, Maisie figured out that they were using her to be the bearer of brutily hateful messages. Consequently, she learned not to d ....

.... feel. For example, the woman tells the men she is sick but they believe differently. "John is a physician, and perhaps- (I would not say it to a living soul, of course, but this is dead paper and a great relief to my mind-) perhaps that is one reason I do not get well faster. You see he does not believe I am sick!"(507) The men are under the impression that what they say goes and therefore the woman has no choice but to follow. "He knows there is no reason to suffer and that satisfies him."(508) This quote illustrates that the men are in control. If they strongly believe nothing is wrong, then nothing must be wrong. It is a feeling of self satisfaction the men feel w!hen ....

If their parents discovered their secret, they would have made their children's lives miserable. Romeo and Juliet would not have been able to see each other. Both of these families were very stubborn and there was hardly any thing that would have made them become friends. In the prologue we learn that the only way the "strife" could be ended was by the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. "Doth with their death bury their parent's strife". (Romeo & Juliet, Prologue, l.8) Neither the Montague ....

.... a better plot. As being Nick Carraway’s girlfriend during the summer of 1922, Jordan helps the reader to learn more about Nick because he lets his true self out to her. Although Nick still liked Jordan regardless, he describes her as “incurably dishonest” (Fitzgerald 63), because of Nick’s remembrance that she cheated at her first big golf tournament. This creates Jordan to be a foil of Nick, because he tells himself, “I am one of the very few honest people that I have ever known” (Fitzgerald 64). Jordan connects Nick to Gatsby by bringing him to one of Gatsby’s parties with her, where Gatsby introduces himself to Nick. Jordan leads a careless life, one inc ....

Arthur Dimmesdale, to the people of Boston, was a holy icon. According to the public, "never had a man spoken in so wise, so high, and so holy a spirit, as he… nor had inspiration ever breathed through mortal lips more evidently than it did through his" (167).
