.... owns these woods lives in the town and is ignorant of the beauty that they contain. He has not taken the time to notice how beautiful they are as the snow comes down. The owner of the woods, we’ll call him Bob, lives in the town and is busy living his life in the town. Bob will not notice because he takes for granted the fact that he is able to go look at the woods much like the author. "Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village, though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow." The persona is saying that he knows who owns the woods, but he won’t see him looking at the woods because he lives in the t ....

.... (Chaucer, 8) Chaucer delineated the two characters contrastingly in their appearances, general manners, education and most evidently in their behavior toward men. Yet, in the midst of disparities, both tales left its readers with an unsolved enigma. The Wife of Bath represents the "liberal" extreme in regards to female stereotypes of the Middle Ages.(chuckiii, 4) Unlike most women being anonymous during the Middle Ages, she has a mind of her own and voices herself.

Buddy and Esther break up due to the fact that he was not very honest with her in many ways. He did not have the courage to admit to ....

.... "the Battler" and "The Killers". In "The Battler", Nick Adams gets beaten down into a deformed lonely man because he chouses to fight and continue to fight. This quote from "The Battler" shows that Nick is in bad shape. "(Nick) was dead looking in the firelight" (Hemingway 131). In the short story, "The Killers" this code again is portrayed.

As this quote shows Ole Anderson knows he will now die, "There isn’t anything I can do about it." (Hemingway 287) The second code, a near death experience is ....

.... a yellow wood” vividly portray the fact that it is always difficult to make a decision because it is impossible not to wonder about the opportunity that will be missed out on. There is a strong sense of regret before the choice is even made and it lies in the knowledge that in one lifetime, it is impossible to travel down every path that one encounters. In an attempt to make a decision, the traveler "looks down one as far as I could." The road that will be chosen leads to the unknown, as does any choice in life. As much as he may strain his eyes to see how far the road stretches, eventually it surpasses his vision and he can never see where it is going to lead. I ....
