.... Depression, her parents' death, racism, being sexually abused at an early age, becoming a single mother in her middle teenage years and bad marriages. This period in Maya's life constitutes much of the pain that is included in many other poems. In the poem, ANo Loser, No Weeper," Maya describes how she just hates to lose something, whether is small like a watch or a toy. Moreover this poem is directed towards another female trying to steal her lover. Maya wants to make it clear to the woman not touch her Alover-boy." She explains her warning by stating that she hates to lose something Aeven a dime, I wish I was dead." We gather from that statement that losing somethi ....

.... you like to go on a trip somewhere by yourself, darling, and be with men and ski?’ ‘No. Why should I?’ ‘I should think sometimes you would want to see other people besides me.’ ‘Do you want to see other people?’ ‘No.’ ‘Neither do I.’” p.297. This conversation shows that Catherine loves him so much that she is willing to be alone just so he can be happy. At the same time, Mr. Henry would probably like to go skiing but would never dream of leaving Catherine alone. Death wins out over love. “’It is very dangerous.’ The nurse went into the room and shut the door. I sat outside in th ....

.... scarred and thus set him apart from anyone else. Jake seemed to be an observer who was watching the lives of his friends unfold and happen around him, but without his participation. I read that Hemingway had purposely re-written the book in first person and this was probably to spell out that Jake was an observer and was thus aware of what was written on the pages. There is a scene towards the end of the book where Jake finds all of his friends eating at a restaurant and thinks to himself that he is too far behind to catch up. Jake always seems behind, or at least only a marginal player put so in his position because of his injury. He must have had relations with Brett bef ....

.... irony in this story lies not in the analyzation of minute details in the story, but rather in the context of the story as it is written. One of the voices that is present throughout the story is that of irony. The story itself is ironic since no one can take Swifts proposal seriously. This irony is clearly demonstrated at the end of the story; Swift makes it clear that this proposal would not affect him since his children were grown and his wife unable to have any more children. It would be rather absurd to think that a rational man would want to both propose this and partake in the eating of another human being. Therefore, before an analyzation can continue, one has to ma ....

.... and then sold. This was the beginning of a new, cruel life for Buck. On his journey, Buck's pride was severely damaged by men who used tools to restrain him. No matter how many times Buck tried to lunge, he would just be choked into submission. When Buck arrived at his destination, there was snow everywhere and masses of Husky and wolf dogs. Buck was thrown into a pen with a man who had a club and learned one of the two most important laws that a dog could know in the Klondike. The law of club is quite simple, if there is a man with a club, a dog would be better off not to challenge that man. Buck learned this law after he was beaten half to death by the man who had ....

.... to be. Gwyn made these choices internally, listening to her heart and mind. However, Gwyn actually makes two different turns in the novel. In the end, she comes out of her mystical world and back into reality. On the other hand, Tad, reacting from the external influence of his family and the Inn, changed to form the mold of the responsible son of that time period. Though taking opposite approaches, the changes of Gwyn and Tad were very significant to their growth as characters and ultimately, to their place in the world. Gwyn started out in the novel as the hard-working, responsible daughter who contributed her all to the family and their needs. Gwyn worked a ful ....

.... taking away their jobs. To relieve such anger people in groups like the K.K.K went out and attacked innocent immigrants often killing them. If one were black things were even worse. There were many laws that separated them from white men and made their lives very difficult. They were constantly beaten by white men and found getting jobs very hard. As well people became firebugs and often burned down buildings in which the immigrants lived. The majority of Americans resented the immigrants because they represented lost jobs. the only people who did like the influx of immigrants were the rich because they represented a large pool of labour that cost next to nothing. Amer ....

.... or that it has always been at war with Eastasia and allied with Eurasia. Winston knows this, because his work at the Ministry of Truth involves the constant correction of news. “Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past,” the party slogan reads. Basically, Winston takes real news and twists it to what “Big Brother” wants the people to know. In the grim city and terrifying country, where “Big Brother” is always watching you and the Thought Police can practically read your mind, Winston is a man in great danger for the simple reason that his memory still functions. He knows the party controls people by feeding them ....
