... in one place too long. It had a very good story line, which was a love story that ended up in a tragedy. The main character's wife got pregnant and she was off to have her baby when problems started occurring. They had to have a caesarean, and the baby dies, and when the mother of the child starts to hemorrhage Henry knows that it was over for his wife and he was right. From the beginning of the book until the end, the action was up. Ever since the front page Henry was traveling around to different towns so it was not boring for the reader. That made it very interesting for the reader because it was always a new town coming up so they were being introduced in the new charact ...

... for the worse” (Poe 894). The alcohol transforms the narrator into a demon like creature, and because this downfall is so very relevant to many of our own society problems, the story takes on an eerie, human reality twist. Slowly, over time, his personality alters from once a loving, caring, and nurturing man, into a mad, spontaneous killer. It is while the narrator is intoxicated that he inflicts the cruelest acts of violence on his cat because “…the fury of the demon [alcohol] instantly possessed [him]” (Poe 894). From the alcohol, perverseness provides the rational for otherwise unjustifiable acts, such as killing the first cat, and yet at times the narrator feels quick and minute pa ...

... to rallying support for his cause. Napoleon, throughout the novel, fails to present an idea that is original, but tends to take credit for the ideas of others (Meyers 108). Like Stalin, Napoleon is not a good speaker and is certainly not as clever as his political opponent. However, he makes good use of his resident "smooth-talker," Squealer, to insure that his subjects see the purpose of his evil and demented ideas, while those who oppose him are merely torn apart by dogs that Napoleon accumulated to protect him and distribute justice as he sees fit in much the same way that Stalin used the KGB. Napoleon relies on flashy displays of power like the firing of the shotgun or fancy titles ...

... he was dead, Tess was free of her sin and could finally have the love of Angel unhindered by her past. She had killed her past in the house which was slowly killing her. The next residence for Tess after the murder was in an abandoned mansion: Bramshurst Court. This was the perfect place for Tess and Angel to escape to. She wished for nothing more than to be left alone, from other people and from her past. In this house she found a refuge with her true love, and experienced what she had not for much of her life--contentment. She did not desire to continue on with their journey at all. Tess there found the solitude with her one love that she had wanted for so long, and without the constan ...

... disciplinary actions contribute to her mother figure, also. Gottschalk writes, "When he has been bad, she disciplines him but in motherly fashion often comforts him while doing so" (127). Annie punishes Sheldon's attempts to get free by ampu-tating his foot and thumb with an ax, "exercising editorial authority over his body" (King 264). Annie acts as a virginal and protective mother of the vir-gin Misery, "Annie prevents Paul from letting Misery Chastain die in child-birth. She must live and a novel must be born" (Gottschalk 126). Annie nurtures Misery's return as well, "Nothing will interfere with [Misery's] safety or the birth of the book she is nurturing" (Gottschalk 127). There ...

... space. If he tells the citizens, he is no longer the great reverend. Then again, if he doesn’t, he will be forced to carry the ever so heavy burden. Dimmesdale waits for such a long time that the guilt has already got to him by the time he is ready to confess. He carves the letter, “A,” into his chest. He beats himself with leather whips, and has to go for long walks in the woods. Back then the woods where known to everyone as the place where the Black Man lives. In this book, Dimmesdale is the dominant character that shows how guilt can rip you apart at the limbs. People could say that Pearl really was possessed and that she was mean, but in all seriousness why would Hester she it i ...

... increases as the plot develops. By trading his soul for his youth, Dorian rids of the good inside of himself. The plot proves to us that evil does actually lie within an individual. From the moment that he becomes forever young he begins to deteriorate. Even once he reached his epiphany and saw his evil through the portrait he simply denied seeing it and continued his malicious deeds. The characterisation of the book is one of the most important elements of this book. Dorian begins by being a very naïve lad. He is very easily influenced by others especially his two new good friends; Basil and Lord Henry. Basil, the painter of the portrait, influenced Dorian in more of a good, honest ...

... that reflect his inner fears and worries. Macbeth's relationship to the witches in Act 1 Scene 3 and his wife in Act 1 Scene 7 especially resonate with his inner psychic state. Both relations reveal important currents of Macbeth's diseased mind. The witches in Act 1 Scene 3 create a dynamic which flatters Macbeth in an attempt to convince him to kill Duncan. They flatter him in two ways. First, the witches greet Macbeth as a superior, "all hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee Thane of Glamis." (1.3.46). This honorific salutation, "hail," is reserved for the great leaders of men, not subordinates like Macbeth; who at this point in the play is only a vassal of King Duncan. The only other instan ...

... is dat so?" "Of course it is. They just set around, except, maybe, when there's a war; then they go to war. But other times they just lazy around; or go hawking— just hawking…when things is dull, they fuss with the parlyment; and if everybody don't go just so he whacks their heads off. But mostly they hang round the harem." However, by using Huck's language Twain creates character and establishes realism. Huck is capable of making Twain write something merely because it is not the kind of thing Huck would say or do, and he can force Twain to leave something out because Huck would not do or say that kind of thing. Huck is essentially good-hearted, but he is looked down upon by the ...

... that she provided under questioning and cross examination. The defendants lawyer, Atticus Finch, tried to capitalize on the contradictory statements made by Ms. Ewell. He questioned the witness using a variety of techniques and seemed to receive less than uniform answers to the same questions that were asked in a different manner. At times the witness appeared confused and became frustrated and emotional as Mr. Finch continued to try and raise a reasonable doubt among the jurors concerning the testimony that was being given by Ms. Ewell. The Defenses' strongest witness was the accused himself, Tom Robinson. Lawyer Finch called his client to the stand and questioned him about the alleg ...
