.... the challenges of his modern society, and the types of people in it. But even so, one could easily say that Huckleberry Finn made almost the exact same journey as Odysseus, with a slightly modern twist added to it. To start, both characters have reasonings behind their journeys as to why they start it. Odysseus began his sea bound adventure because of the fact that he was allowed his freedom from Calypso, who has been holding him captive in hopes of turning him into her husband. So Odysseus is allowed to set sail back to his homeland. Huck set out his adventure because he was attempting to escape from his drunken Pap, who was holding him captive in order to get m ....

.... Caliban is regarded as the representation of the wild; the side that is usually looked down upon. Although from his repulsive behavior, Caliban can be viewed as a detestable beast of nature, it can be reasonably inferred that Shakespeare’s intent was to make Caliban a sympathetic character. During the first encounter, Caliban comes across very bestial and immoral. While approaching Caliban’s cave, Prospero derogatorily says, "…[he] never/Yields us kind answer," meaning Caliban never answers respectfully. When Prospero reaches the cave, he calls to Caliban. Caliban abruptly responds, "There’s wood enough within." His short, snappy reply and his ....

.... but he is looked down upon by the rest of the village. He dislikes civilized ways because they are personally restrictive and hard. He is generally ignorant of book-learning, but he has a sharpness for understanding many issues. He is imaginative and clever, and has a sharp eye for detail, though he doesn't always understand everything he sees, or its significance.

He must experiment to find out what is true and what isn't. In general then, Huck's attitude seems to be that if you let other people alone, they won't come around disturbi ....

.... and made it work for me. I could show them that it is possible for poor, black children to go to college. With faith, hard work, and perseverance anything is possible. Anything can be achieved once you set your mind to it, and that’s just what I want to let them know. I think that if I can make it to college, I can always find ways to aid and assist my family getting there. My goal is to go on to medical school and to become a psychiatrist. I have always wanted to be a doctor for as long as I can remember. I enjoy working with people, and I would love to heal the world one person at a time. Mental illness is such a problem in our country that I feel there should be mor ....

.... Elinor cries as she listens. She said the song was her late father's favorite. Later on in the story, Marianne kept on nagging Elinor for not sharing her feelings. Finally, Elinor shows her emotions by telling her that she did have a broken heart after she found out that Edward had a fiancee - Lucy. Elinor would definitely represent sense. She keeps her thoughts to herself. Maybe it is because she thinks she will not end up hurting so bad as Marianne did. Marianne, on the other hand, represents sensibility. She follows her heart. She does not let anything come in the way of showing her emotions. When she first met Colonel Brandon, it is obvious that he was in love with he ....
