.... how memory is selective like that, how certain things can be completely retold down to every last detail. Often, however, a simple prompt can trigger an outpouring of memories that may have otherwise remained hidden deep in the mind. A sight, a sound, perhaps a smell…all of these things can trigger a deluge of retrospection. We have a home movie of this party…it is grainy and of short duration, but it's a great visual aid to my memory of life at that time. And it is in color - the only complete scene in color I can recall from those years. -Judith Ortiz Cofer, "Silent Dancing" In her essay "Silent Dancing," Cofer recounts the memories of her childhood induced whi ....

.... hero almost perfectly. A high mimetic hero is superior to other men but not to his environment. He is a leader. "He has authority, passions, and powers of expression far greater than ours, but what he does is subject both to social criticism and to the order of nature." (Theory of Modes, Northrup Frye) King Henry has all of these. Henry is viewed by society as an pitiful King due to his background, that being his life of crime and loving prostitutes and his father taking the throne from the true King by killing him, but he proves himself by being able to bring together a nation and win a war without true training as king. The most prominent time in King Henry's rulin ....

.... so nervous thinking about what to say to her. They came over about 7:30 that night. We all met them at the door. Mr. Smith was a small guy, kinda thin with a funny little mustache. Mrs. Smith was different. I guess she looked pretty good for her age. There was something odd, different about Mrs. Smith that hit me strange. I couldn't put my finger on what it was. Jennifer, that's what her name was, standing behind her mother looking bored. They told her to say hi to me, and that is about all she did. She acted very indifferent toward me. Oh, Well. At least I can watch her all night. My mother suggested I take Jenny out to the pool for a swim before dinner. Damn mom, you're ....

.... is evident in every part of his life. Holden is unable to relate to anyone at the three prep schools he has attended. While standing on Thomsen Hill, Holden cannot help but feel isolated when he observes the football game, "you were supposed to commit suicide or something if Old Pencey didn’t win" (Salinger 2). Not only does Holden feel isolated at the schools he has attended; he has this feeling when it comes to his family as well. Upon his return to New York City, Holden does not go home. Instead, he chooses to hide out from his family. According to Ernest Jones, "with his alienation go assorted hatreds – of movies, of night clubs, of social and in ....

.... believes that Billy is true on a deeper sense; in other words, it corresponds to real experience. Don’t you, yourself find that when you are trying to make a major decision, or living through some crucial event your mind keeps shifting from one thing to another, sometimes quickly and dramatically, sometimes inventing hypothetical situations to use as comparisons or differences? This is similar to the case as seen in . The Book doesn’t work in a strict and orderly fashion but starts out to describe at length different characters, then moves to fast actions, slows down again to a very argued trail, then draws rapidly to a close with Billy’s hanging. Even after that eve ....

.... in the back of my mind. I can’t see how an author could write a book with such a short and sudden ending. The last images he leaves the reader with is George and Slim walking off as Curly says " Now what in the hell is eating them?" thus the book ends on a harsh, cruel note, topped off by the lack of understanding and compassion of an extraordinarily immoral and cruel man. Whatever Steinbeck’s intent for writing such a jarring ending, he leaves the reader with a powerful sense of the world’s immorality.   In this book there were several characters, but only a few had significant roles. I would have to say Lennie is the p ....

.... "Well, it made them kid Dummy, the way he was always carrying everything. Carl Lowe, Ted Shade, Johnny Wait, they were the worst kidders of the ones that kidded Dummy.” Another reasons for Dummy’s introversion was his wife. “ She was a women years younger and said to run around with Mexicans.” The lack of love at home and negative attention at work caused Dummy to shut society out. The only friends Dummy had where his fish, which he protected from the cruelties of society. He protected the fish like no one had protected him, yet he still loses them to a force that cannot be controlled or stopped. “ It blew for five days, and on the t ....
