.... paper and decides to visit the town and find out what happened. He begins his research before the murderers are captured. He is there when they are brought in to jail. He lives in the town and he gains the trust of the townspeople and the murderers. The book was a success, but Capote was never the same after. He spent six years of his life on this project, and it was hard work. While imprisoned, Perry and Dick considered him a true friend and wanted his help to get a pardon. Capote felt torn by his affections for the two and by knowing of the murders they had committed. Capote did not begin the book with the murder scene. Instead, he gave the reader a view of the ....

.... himself most evenings, without the company of a woman. This encourages his individual thought, and he realizes that independent thought is rewarding, and that he must strive to become a real individual. Although this is true to a certain extent, Bernard does not realize that he would much rather attain social recognition. At least, not until the opportunity presents itself. Thus, through a series of events, Bernard uses the curiosity of the society to his advantage, fulfilling his subconscious wish of becoming someone important; a recognized name in the jumble of society. This ends when the curiosity of others ends, and as a supreme result of his arrogant behaviour, he is ....

.... of misinterpreted honor and the chains of the past. Javert, born in jail, saw himself as an ostracized adolescent with but two paths open to him. He could choose either to be a policeman or a criminal. He chose to be on the right side of the law. Valjean, a peasant, spent time in jail as a young man and came out of it hating society. He believed himself to be apart from it, and chose to live in hatred and crime. Fortunately, the action of a kindly old bishop prevented him from wasting the rest of his life. Valjean switched to tread the path of life on a more morally upright road. He became mayor, protector of society. When certain events occured in Montreuil, both of th ....

.... Eileen. Eileen Vance was the little girl that Stephen wanted to marry when he was younger. She is described to have ivory hands and golden hair, which confuses Stephen with the phrases, "Tower of Ivory" and "House of Gold" which is part of the Roman Catholic Litany of Our Lady. Later when Stephen is at school, he again thinks about Eileen. Stephen gets his first sensual experience from Eileen when she puts her hand into his pocket and touches his hand. Stephen gets quite confused with the terms of the Litany of Our Lady so he starts to associate the "Tower of Ivory" and "House of Gold" to Eileen. The way James Joyce describes the scene, "She had put her hand into his pocket w ....

.... good, “a dear little creature”, and is destined to become a wonderful wife. Amelia is married to a snobbish man named George Osborne who will not allow Amelia’s brother to marry Becky simply because she is a “low connection.” Instead she marries a man named Rawdon and her social difficulties and marital problems are paralleled by Amelia’s. Amelia’s marriage to George Osborne is threatened when her family sinks into financial ruin and George’s father refuses to countenance a union between his son and the helpless daughter. However, inspired by his friend Dobbin, who is himself in love with Amelia and always selflessly thinking of her happiness, George r ....

.... bucket will get filled, regardless that is what the teachings of Buddha are saying. Evil may take over mind little by little if you are not careful. That is why one should think clearly at all times, and not allow evil to enter their mind. Water is a frequently used metaphor in The Dhammapada. Another example of this occurs on page 14, number 4 in the section titled "Flowers". "Just as a raging flood sweeps away a sleeping village, So does death claim a man of distracted mind, As he continually seeks more and more Of life's fleeting pleasures." Once again the image of water was used, but in a much different context. Here The Dhammapad ....

.... Not in the physical sense of the crime itself. The reader doesn’t hear about how heavily the murders are weighing on his heart, or how he is tormented by visions of the crime. He doesn’t feel the least bit guilty about having committed the crime, only his pride’s hurt. He doesn’t mention the idea of the pain that might arise from recurrent visions of the crime. Raskolnikov never again recalls the massive amounts of blood everywhere, the look on Lizaveta’s face when he brings down the axe on her head. These things clearly show that the crime isn’t what might cause him suffering, or pain, it is something else. After Raskolnikov is sent off to Siberia, he doesn’t f ....

.... all places to be like this. 2. Kino's canoe was old and water proof. It was a family heirloom. Kino's pride in the boat was acceptable because not only is it an heirloom, it represents his living, and it is part of the family. 3. Juana is dissatisfied by her own method because it was free and lacked the doctor's authority. Juana's reaction to the appearance of the scorpion was fear for her first born. Then, after the sting, she wanted to take Coyotito to the doctor. He would not treat it. This demonstrated not only a war between culture's, but a war between social classes. If the baby were white or the parents well paid, but lacking immediate money, the doctor would hav ....
