.... of the way people "would talk." I do not know if but a few people knew about their marriage, and that was the way Torvald wanted it to be. It really wasn't her fault she was the way she was, it was mostly Torvald's for spoiling her. Nora relies on Torvald for everything, from movements to thoughts, much like a puppet that is dependent on its puppet master for all of its actions. Her carefree spirit and somewhat childish manners are shown throughout the play with statements such as, "Is that my little lark twittering out there?" and "Is that my squirrel rummaging around?" (1069) The animal imagery used relates the animal to how Nora is acting or should be portrayed. A l ....

.... for a person if he cannot see what he is doing wrong. The quote is a perfect start for this novel of underlying plots. The first objective of the book is for Jean Valjean to change his lifestyle. Once the bishop tells him this inspiring quote, he moves on and sees the folly of his ways when he takes the coin from Little Gervais. After this immediate change becomes evident, Valjean is shown as a "Christ figure" through the rest of the book. Other characters are changed but only toward the end of the book. Thenardier is shown as an evil man throughout the book, but it is at the end where he contributes to the apotheosis of the good; this is the law of life ....

My slippers look!…I missed them dreadfully. Now you should see them, Hedda." Hedda - "No thanks, it really doesn't interest me'. In another gender role reversal, Hedda displays a financial awareness, which her husband, Jorgen does not posses. Although Brack correspon ....

.... have any use, for the artist or the observer. Art is supposed to deal with emotion. It is one thing that helps people heal, not only by seeing, but also by doing. Art is able to take all the bad emotions, all the hurts and pains and lets you express them. It is no wonder that many that have seen the destruction of war have turned to art. You don’t see any "pretty pictures" of war. I’d like you to find one pretty aspect of war. There is none, so therefore, war, as a subject for art, is hardly ever pretty. The stories that they write, the paintings that they paint, the pictures that they take, are usually horrific scenes. Only rarely do we see pic ....

.... wealthy people loaf around and indulge themselves with alcohol to rid themselves of their problems (368). In a mocking manner, almost setting Neddy up for his failure, the day begins beautiful and everyone is happy, but a feeling of confusion soon follows (368). Significantly, by exemplifying the point of view, Cheever allows the reader to see Neddy from two different perspectives. According to Neddy, “his life was not confining and the delight he took in observation could not be explained by its suggestion of escape” (368). The bystanders view of Neddy, however, depicts him as “close to naked,” as they “wondered if he was the victim of foul play, had his car broke ....
