... Willy is really loosing it. The relationship between Willy and Linda Loman is deeper and more complex than it may seem at first. (p.39) You would not know the true reason of Willy flaring up at Linda for mending a stocking until Willy has flashbacks about the affair he had with another woman,(p.121) this also explains why he and Biff are not on good terms. On page one hundred twenty-one Bif sobs while he says "You-you gave her Mama's stockings!" this brought the whole reason that Willy feels guilty about his wife having to mend stockings while he gave his wifes stockings away as gifts to another woman. (p.121) Linda Loman has a very unusual part in this story, because she is the reason th ...

... any redeeming qualities or traits. As proof, the Doctor says, " Have I nothing to do than cure insect bites for little Indians?…I alone in the world am supposed to work for nothing-and I am tired of it. See if he has any money!" (P.294) "He is a client of mine…The doctor looked past his aged patient and saw himself sitting in a restaurant in Paris and a waiter was just opening a bottle of wine." (P.301) Under these conditions, greed in the doctor is definitely shown. With all the riches he already had, he wanted to gain more wealth. He looks past the need of the vulnerable for the sake of money. In any event, the main character of the story, Kino has the greatest i ...

Mrs. Grose wants Flora to herself because she has no children of her own. Every time the governess sees the figures Mrs. Grose is around. Is this a coincidence? Is Mrs. Grose in fact behind the whole reason for the sightings? I believe that there are ghosts taking part in this story. There are too many references in the st ...

... remains strong. Many women of the town believe that Hester’s penalty is not harsh enough and therefore, she is marked with the letter A upon her chest. She is returned to her prison cell and a doctor is summoned to help calm her.

She does so in return for the secrecy of the name of the man who is the father of her daughter, Pearl. Eventually, Hester settles down with Pearl in a small cottage and leads a basically normal life as a seamstress. Pearl turns out to be a very peculiar child with a disobedient attitude towards life. She is “imp-like& ...

... to get his girlfriend into bed by saying that if they had all the time in the world they could spend a lot of time together and he would really take his time over her, worshipping her as if she were sacred: “An hundred years should go to praise thine eyes, and on thy forehead gaze. Two hundred to adore each Breast: but thirty thousand to the rest.” Marvell clearly exaggerates the time into years, which adds to the full effect of this idea of her being worshipped upon and praised almost like a God or a priceless work of art. At the beginning of the first ...

... of an adult figure. He acts so much like an adult that the other kids (besides Piggy) don’t want to be friends with him. -Power struggle between Jack and Ralph. Ralph wants to return to tend to the fire while jack wants to play in the fort. -Ralph is losing the authority he once held over the other boys and Jack is emerging as their new leader. -Power once instilled in the conch is not as effective anymore. -Ralph (which means “counsel” in the Anglo-Saxon language) and Jack (comes from Hebrew and means “one who supplants” or takes over by force) can be looked at as two different sections of society. Ralph wants to remain civil and maintain order on the island, while on the other hand t ...

... kid themselves that it will make any difference. Their time is approaching. We've lived like this ever since Dexter can remember, but not me. I remember long before this wretched hole we call home. I remember the farmer who planted me and the years and years of being cropped and regrowing again. It was very hard for me to tell, but indeed I noticed the sky growing more and more muddy year by year. Every year it seemed to me that the farmer's plot of land grew smaller, and the population of my fellow vegetables and fruits seemed to be decreasing as our land grew scarce. My first years I would grow tall and stiff, green as any blade of grass at the time. I had sunlight aplenty, and remember ...

... , but they were tormented also. The tormenting eventually led to the killing of others who weren't in the group. III. CHARACTERS I believe there are two main characters in the book. One of them is Ralph, for his coolness and consideration, and another is Jack, for his leadership roll. Another reason I picked Jack and Ralph as main characters is because they have a conflict throughout the whole story. 1. Ralph Ralph is a medium sized, fair haired, boy, seemingly of about 12 years of age, making him one of the older boys in the story or a "bigun". He was the first person focused on in the book and he remained the point of focus throughout the whole story. In the beginning, he ...
