I open doors, push in chairs, listen to people, and help little kids. But, occasionally I catch myself thinking about how I could make someone feel bad. I automatically feel my face turn red, and that would be the end of the thought. But I think once in a while everyone thinks something like, "He would really be embarrassed if I told everyone about that time at camp. Plus I could get him back," or something like, "She doesn't deserve that. What if they found out what she did last year." This is not ex ....

At the beginning, Basil paints a portrait of that people see as an appreciation of Dorian’s beauty. Dorian is so pure and innocent-he doesn’t know anything about the anxiety of life. He has all the beauty of a child in him, but then Lord Henry enters into the picture with his influential goal for life and its meaning. “Don’t spoil him. Don’t try to influence him.

At Gateshead, it becomes apparent that Jane is terrifically self-willed and possessive of a fiery temper. An example of this is when Jane stands up to her aunt saying, "You think I have no feelings, and that I can do without one bit of love or kindness, but I cannot live so: and you have no pity" (Bronte, 68). Here, Jane makes her first declaration of independence, contending that she will no longer be a secondary member in the Reed household. At Lowood, Jane is repulsed by Mr. Blocklehurst a ....
