.... to be like: “travelling back to the earliest beginnings of the world, when vegetation rioted on the earth and the big trees were kings. An empty stream, a great silence, and impenetrable forest … ” (Conrad ?). The river, one which “resemble[s] an immense snake uncoiled … with its tail lost in the depths of the land” (Conrad ?), is “dangerous, dark, mysterious, treacherous, [and] concealed” (Karl 32). When the characters are unable to withstand the various temptations along this passage they helplessly sell their souls to corruption. In both the book and the movie, the various events along each individual journey help illustrat ....

.... time for soliciting with a prostitute. Another example in the book was the prediction of brainwashing. The truth is that today people are being brainwashed constantly and some times they don't even know it. For example people are always being brainwashed into buying a certain product by advertisements on the televisions or by subliminal messages. Winston was brainwashed into conforming to the normal society by loving Big Brother. The brainwashing in the book might be a little exaggerated but it is still the same concept. Yet another example is how people are tagged with numbers. People today are identified by a social security number same as in 1984. Many of ....

.... to convict anyone of witchcraft, it would definitely be those girls. The people you've decided to convict and hang, have either been, poor farmers, beggers, nonbelievers or people that were not know well. If you would have at least taken a couple minutes or even in hour to hear a these people had say, then maybe you would have realized, that these girls are just lying. Have you even taken into consideration how many children's mothers will hang? Or how much pain the families of the victims will have to endur? I'm telling you as a friend and a villager, Please stop all these murders! These people do not have to die. I know that in some of these cases the evidence was leading t ....

.... imagery used in Wuthering Heights. Imagery can also be used to represent underlying themes of the novel, or to provide dramatic effect and mood. In Jane Eyre, fire imagery has a strong metaphorical significance, representing passion, sexual desire and the heat of emotion and feeling. On a very basic level, one can already note the underlying significance for Brontë's use of fire imagery - fire, as is with the passions, can provide warmth and comfort, but can also burn. With water imagery, it is useful to consider that such imagery includes natural imagery of ice, sea and snow, all common features in the novel. Water, the antithesis of fire, represents the extreme point of c ....

.... to rely on his family to take care of him. By the way his family treats him, Gregor realizes he was an instrument they had often use without a care. Before the metamorphosis, Gregor was trapped in a life of obligations. He worked as a traveling salesman in cloth for his father's creditor. Gregor complains about "the trouble of constant traveling, of worrying about train connections, the bed and irregular meals, casual acquaintances that are always new and never become intimate friends." (296) He often dreams of the day when he is able to quit and rid himself of this tiring job. Even though he greatly dislikes his job, he continues to work for them because this job pays well a ....

.... invented the collapsible opera hat. Later on she says that it was not Olive but a girl who she named Mary Katherine Reilly. She was a girl whom she had played the piano in duets with her. The reason she remembers this is because in a way she envied that girl. She did not feel like her family had anything special. “ ... I had nothing as remarkable in my own background? “(248). We remember things not because we want to but because it was something that affected as greatly. She says: “ We only store images of value... Pain likes to be vivid.” (245). Like if for instance as a child we missed out on something and we used to envy other kids who had it, we will never fo ....

.... none.  But instead I received four "C's" from four out of eight of my classes. Although Holden has problems with grades, ironically he does well in his English. Holden stated, "I'm quite illiterate, but I read a lot." (p.18) Reading books improves your grammar and vocabulary.  This was be the reason why Holden does well in his English class. I do not read much and therefore I have problems in my grammar. The family background of Holden and I are fairly similar, both of us come from opulent families.  Holden and I are both very lucky to be studying in eminent institutions. Unfortunately, Holden does not take this advantage. Holden's mind is elsewhere in a reverie, day ....

.... part in his plot is to steal Desdemona’s handkerchief, but she is not aware that she plays such an essential role. Desdemona is also an unwilling and unknowing accomplice in Iago’s plan. Her only role is to play on Othello’s tragic flaw, jealousy. The greatest use of another character is Iago’s usage of Roderigo to finance the enforcement of his plan and to do the “dirty work.” This is probably the most unscrupulous component of his plan. It produces sympathy for the other characters because they are oblivious to Iago’s actions and the part they play in the scheme of things. At the same time, it produces a feeling of ....
