.... the neck and the small of the back, and having my face ignominously shoved against the wall, because I did not answer those questions at sufficient length."2 While at the orphanage, Oliver from Oliver Twist also experienced a great amount of abuse. For example, while suffering from starvation and malnutrition for a long period of time, Oliver was chosen by the other boys at the orphanage to request more gruel at dinner one night. After making this simple request, "the master (at the orphanage) aimed a blow at Oliver's head with the ladle; pinioned him in his arms; and shrieked aloud for the beadle."3 The whole beginning of Oliver Twist's story was created from memories which ....

.... example O’Conner uses to explain Julian is found on page 208. It states, "Most miraculous of all, instead of being blinded by love for her as she was for him, he had cut himself emotionally free of her and could see her with complete objectivity. He was not dominated by his mother." It is safe to assume Julian is a depressed son, who is perturbed with his mother and her old ways of life. Complications begin to arise after the reader has a good feel on who the characters are, which then leads to the climax of the story. Tension first arrives between Julian and his mother when Julian moves from sitting next to his mother, to a Negro man on the bus. O’Co ....

.... him you could tell that he was devastated. I think that we also learned that if you truly believed in something you wouldn't change what you think no matter what they would do. I think that Wallace's beliefs were worth fighting and dying for because why should you have to be oppressed be a king that would take your things and rule you cruelly. Without their own king Scotland would just be a meaningless province that is guarded by soldiers at all times. Why should you live in constant fear when you can have freedom and live in relative peace and you don't have to worry about what you say or do about the English because they have no rule there? The consequences for all o ....

.... The first stanza uses detail to describe an ancient church where the couple is soon to be married. Once this stanza ends Hardy’s attitude changes to one of sorrow. “For he was soon to die, --he softly said, ‘Tell me you love me!’—Holding hard her hand.” It is pathetic that this is the last wish of a dying man. Hardy’s use of consonance allows the reader to understand the man’s feelings. Next stanza the tone changes again, to one of pity for the woman who sells her soul “to be a moment kind.” Regardless of whether the woman decides to marry, the man will die. Eventually, her sympathy for the man overwhel ....

.... was extremely mad and she called Othello a "Blacker devil", this was the only time in the play that she had said anything racist about Othello. The main characters that have racist attitudes are Iago, Brabantio, Roderigo and Emilia, with the hatred of Othello as the basis for their racist actions and comments towards him. Iago is the most racist character in the book as he has it in for Othello right from the start. What sparks off Imago’s hate towards him is the fact that when Othello chose his lieutenant, it was Cassio who was chosen instead of Iago. What made Iago angry was the fact that Cassio had no experience in war when he did and Cassio was chosen instead of him. ....

.... her journey to rest, after doing so she appears to be showered with youth. "Phoenix left the tree, and had to go through a barb wire fence. There she had to creep and crawl, spreading her knees and strecthing her fingers like a baby trying to climb the steps." Wetly relates Phoenix to the bind many times in the story directly and indirectly. She was also described as a "solitary bind." Phoenix's age and color also symbolizes the bind, a golden color ram underneath and the two knobs of her cheek were illuminated by a yellow burning under the dark. Her hair was a black but with an ordor like copper. Phoenix may also be portrayed as a mother bird going out to get nurturing for ....

.... knitting, still knit[s] on with the steadfastness of Fate” and he is foreshadowing the French Revolution by comparing Madame Defarge to Fate (117). Both Madame Defarge and Fate mark people who are destined to die which leads further into the French Revolution. Lastly, Dickens presents the statement “they their very selves [are] closing in around a structure yet unbuilt, where they [are] to sit knitting, knitting, counting dropping heads” to show that in the future, Madame Defarge and her women knit while counting the heads being severed by La Guillotine (187). Another instance of foreshadowing is the revenge of the poor people against the aristocrat ....
