.... end, with a minimum of casualties. What would have happened had the A-bomb not been used? The most obvious thing is that the war would have continued. US forces; therefore, would have had to invade the home island of Japan. Imagine the number of casualties that could have occurred if this would have happened! Also, our forces would not only have to fight off the Japanese military, but they would have to defend themselves against the civilians of Japan as well. It was also a fact that the Japanese government had been equipping the commoners with any kind of weapon they could get their hands on. It is true that this could mean a Japanese citizen could have anythi ....

.... sends Watson to Devonshire with Sir Henry to gather information on the recent murder. During his inquires he came across many figures, there was a Mr. & Miss Stapleton who were naturalists and also lived on the moor. They portrayed themselves as brother and sister, but as you will find out later, they were more intimate than that. At about this time, a convict escaped who was referred to as "The Notting Hill Criminal", his real name though was Selden Barrymore. One night while Watson and Sir Henry were in the Hall, they observed Mr. Barrymore (the Butler) sending signals through the window using a candle. Through questioning he divulged that he was really doing a ....

.... with more than average intellect" symbolically manipulated Billy Budd as did the "wisdom of the serpent" manipulate Adam. Evil always tries to antagonize what is good. Therefore, Claggort was Billy's antagonist throughout Billy Budd. Also symbolic to the novel is the actual demise of both Claggort and Billy Budd. Claggort's death is very short and appropriate "to his navel grade." In contrast, Billy's death occurs during the dawn where " Billy ascended; and ascending took the full rose of the dawn." Claggort's death completely contrasts with the pure death of Billy Budd. Billy's death is portrayed as good, conquering, and symbolic, which directly foils that of Clag ....

.... can do in America, sometimes that fact in itself can make you feel empty and foreign at the same time. While the book is supposed to show a change in Satomi’s thoughts and mannerisms, I feel it did just the opposite, closing her off from the new ideas that were being thrown at her. The more she is bombarded with new situations and people, the more closed off and confused she becomes. For example, when her sister, Rie, comes to visit from Japan, Satomi sees how maladjusted she is. While sitting at the dinner table at a chic Soho restaurant, Satomi recounts in her mind, “The age I live in, at this place, I was ill at ease. I felt I didn’t belong here at all. I co ....

.... justice system, blacks are more likely to be arrested, convicted, and given stiffer sentencesâ€� (Horne 135). When slavery had ended, “the so-called freedom lands held nothing but disappointment for most black peopleâ€� (McCague 119). To Kill A Mockingbird tells of a black man being accused of raping a white woman and “in the courtroom, the white man’s word is taken over the black man’s wordâ€� (Lee 172). The white woman’s father said that “some nigger’d raped his girlâ€� (Lee 169). The black man is punished for a crime that he did not commit because of his race. In the novel, racial words are used often. Words such as “niggerâ€� and “negroeâ ....

.... that Gatsby is indeed "green with envy." It is also probable that Fitzgerald uses the green light to symbolize money and it’s power in society. Money rules the lives of the people in the story. Gatsby needs money to live the life that he does. Gatsby also feels he needs the money to get back together with Daisy. The green light can both symbolize envy and money; however, the most reasonable meaning would have to be one of future hope, especially in Gatsby’s case. The use of a green light at the end of a landing stage to signal a romantic reunion, is similar to the green light at the end of Daisy's dock, which becomes a key image in The Great Gatsby. The initial appearan ....

.... him a vagabond, and won’t let him sit with us, nor let him sit with us any more; and, he says he and I must not play together, and threatens to turn him out of the house if we break his orders � (Ch. 3 Pg 47). Therefore, Heathcliff grew up as a bitter, wicked person, waiting for the right time to take revenge against Hindley. In addition, Hindley tortured Heathcliff when he was with Catherine. Heathcliff found consolation in his passionate relationship with Catherine, which was not approved by her brother. So several punishments were given to them such as, “The curate might set as many chapters as he pleased for Catherine to get by heart, and Joseph might thrash Heat ....

.... be taken away to the concentration camp in Birkenau where he was separated from his mother and sister. On their way to the camp they learned of the fire. The Nazis were burning people alive. It was like a giant crematory. They could see the blazing fire from far off in the distance.Fire meant death. The Jews of long ago following Abraham's example in the bible, would build a fire to offer an animal sacrafice to God. Originally Abraham was to sacrafice his son Isaac by fire. But God stopped him. I'm sure that as Elie moved forward in the line that he thought that the Nazis were using fire for something God hadn't intended. He was also angry at God for allowing them to use ....
