.... the word. Communication is the most important asset that they need in order for survival. The children have a difficult time-sharing their thoughts with one another, thus making it very frustrating for all of them to get their thoughts out in the open: “We don’t know what you’re saying. But we’re lost. We want to go to Adelaide“ (Marshall, 45). This quote that Peter says is proving that the two children did not understand what he was saying. Peter asked him a question in return but Peter had to try and use hand expressions in order for the Aboriginal to understand. A language barrier can cause many problems for anyone, however, the ....

.... fully aware of his mistakes. He knows the outcome of his actions. "Rather let me say such the words of the fate - enounced to destroy me … thus ended a day memorable to me; it decided my future destiny"(Shelley 40). He calls his dilemma, a hell of intense tortures. Ironically, Frankenstein brought his disrupment upon himself. Frankenstein is quoted "solitude was my only consolation- deep, dark, deathlike solitude"(71). The relationship between the two Frankenstein and the creature is in a sense a combination of power. Frankenstein forced the creature into a life of solitude against his own will. "Hateful day when I received life… accursed creator…I am solitary ....

.... towards success. Macbeth once indicated, Could trammel up the consequence, and catch, With his surcease, success. (Macbeth) Macbeth's ambition for success directs him toward the murder of Duncan. Many will do anything in order to reach success. Some will cheat on others, betray others, and some will kill others. In the short story Champions, the narrator and Donnie kicked their opponents in soccer games in order to win. In many real-life situations, people often cheat in order to reach success.

.... front of her house, she could just barely make out a dark figure, which seemed to blend with the sombre night. She scrubbed her eyes to focus but the image was unclear. Multiple clips of possibilities that explained the enigma of this 'man in black' and his intentions flashed through her mind. The words 'rapist' and 'serial killer' were her only thoughts. Terrified she slowed her pace as she tried to decide whether she would avoid finding out his purpose by going to her neighbour's house and stay there the night, or ignore her fear and go home. "Look at yourself, pull yourself together" she muttered to herself in a voice that seemed to rebuild her confidence. Then she ....

.... The color itself represents serenity, as in everything is perfect. This warns Gatsby that he should not pursue his dream for getting Daisy back, because his chance has passed and everything is as it should be. This is shown with Nick’s insight, “…His dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him… (Pg.189)” Another symbolization of the color green, which contradicts the first, is the meaning “go.” As in a traffic light signal, most people associate green with the word and action “go.” This can be interpreted as meaning Gatsby should go for his dream without hesitation. It implies that ....

.... Oedipus believes that he is almost godlike. “When the hellcat the Sphinx was performing here, what help were you to these people?…Your birds- what help were they? Or the gods…” Oedipus says to Teiresias, the prophet (pg. 21). He believes that neither the prophets nor the gods could help the town with the Sphinx’s riddle, but that he was more intelligent, and was able to solve the problem on his own. This gave him more self confidence than he could handle and an overpowering ego. It is this vanity in his own ability to succeed in being the saver of all, which leads him to discover the truth of his past. He has saved the town once befor ....

.... dance, and special attire incorporated in the gathering, whereas in "The Lottery," the women show up "wearing faded house dresses and sweaters." Although Le Guin's environment seems more festive, all the folks in both stories are coming together for what seems to be enjoyable, even celebratory occasions. However, I believe the major similarity lies in the fact that these many pleasant details create a facade within each story. The reader is then left ill-prepared when the shocking, brutally violent, ritualistic traditions are exposed. Children are an important focus in both stories. Jackson makes it easy for us to imagine their "boisterous play"(para 2), and Le Guin w ....

.... Faustulus told them who their father was and described their mother's fate. avenged he by killing Amulius, and they restored Numitor to the throne. They then decided to build a city on the Tiber River. Realizing that only one of them could be its ruler, they sought guidance from the gods. Each climbed a high mountain to see what he could see. Remus saw a flight of six vultures, but Romulus saw twelve. Therefore Romulus, judging that the gods had favored him, began to lay the foundations of the city of Rome. He plowed a furrow to mark where the walls would be. But Remus mocked him, leaping over the thin furrow and saying that Rome's enemies would be able to get over its wall ....
