.... had his life manipulated in someway or other by the Judge. Like the dancing bear on pp.326, the Kid dances to the beat of the Judge’s “fiddle.” What does the dance mean to the judge though? Its seems as though the “dance” represents life and life is only good for one thing, war. If one does not “offer up himself to the blood of war (pp.331),” then that man cannot dance and thus cannot live. Is this why the Kid must die in the end of the book? Because he had chosen to stray away from the fate the Judge had set for him and “elect therefore some opposite course (pp.330)?” The opposite course the Kid elected for himself wa ....

.... her life with a gun. This happens on a single trip to town. Phoenix is quite remarkable woman. 2 Phoenix’s ability to make the journey and overcome these challenges shows her strong determination, dedication, devotion and the will power to endure hardship to finish her task.

.... the discrepancies of religious beliefs. Rueven, who is an Orthodox Jew, goes to a parochial school where Hebrew is taught instead of Yiddish (which would be considered the first Jewish language). Rueven's school is also very integrated with many English speaking classes. But on the other hand, Danny, who attends a yeshiva (also a Jewish school), considers himself a true Jew because he (unlike Rueven) wears the traditional side curls and is educated in Yiddish. At first the two boys cannot stand each other, many times Danny refers to Rueven as "apikorsim," (32) which basically translates to... someone who is not true to their religion. These differences between the ....

.... drunken father comes home for the night reeking of alcohol and begins dancing with him. Roethke describes his father’s hands as being battered on one knuckle and extremely soiled. They “romped until the pans slid from the kitchen shelf” (5-6). This made his mother so upset that she could do nothing but frown. Finally, his father “waltzed” him on to bed. In “Those Winter Sundays” by Robert Hayden, the poet also relinquishes on a regular occurrence in his childhood. On Sunday mornings, just as any other morning, his father rises early and puts on his clothes in the cold darkness. He then goes out in the cold and splits ....

.... whether internal or external, in the novel Absalom, Absalom! has caused much controversy and has mystified some of the best critics, as well as many readers.

It was set from the 1820s until around 1910 at Harvard, Yale, and Oxford in Mississippi, New Orleans, Virginia, and Haiti. This novel is also the sixth of Faulkner's novels set in the imaginary Yoknapatawpha County, and is considered by many to par ....

The first being that a person must decide whether the society in which he lives has a just reasoning behind its’ own standards of right and wrong. The second being that a person must have pride in the life that he leads. In establishing basic questions of these two concepts, Socrates has precluded his own circumstance and attempted to prove to his companion Crito, that the choice that he has made is just.
