... symmetry?" (Lines 1-4) Blake calls the "Tyger" twice in the beginning stanza to gain the creature's attention. The poem then offers a brief view of the creature and its setting. This view tells of the evil of this creature. "Burning bright" creates a picture of a fire and a symbol of hell. "The night" adds to the portrayal of evil. Blake then asks the "Tyger," What "immortal hand" (God) could create this "fearful symmetry?"(lines 3 and 4). This "symmetry" relates the "Tyger" to the "Lamb" and through the metaphor, Satan to Jesus. Given this interpretation, the question asks how God could create both the ultimate of good and the ultimate of evil. "In what distant deeps or skies / ...

... Never had I been in a life and death situation like Farqhuar but still it is not a good and easy situation to handle. The ending as sad as it is brings out the truth. One can never be safe forever. Eventually we will get caught no matter where we run too. In Farqhuar's situation he fled far from danger, but was caught right on the driveway of his own home, how ironic. Farqhuar was afraid to die. He avoided death throughout the whole situation. The death that he was expecting he avoided. The death he received was a complete unexpected one for him. My main problem with this story was trying to conceive whether Farqhuar actually did escape and get shot right by his house or whether all tho ...

... though some of the ingredients of their hellish composition savour of the grotesque, yet is the effect upon us other than the most serious and appalling that can be imagined? Do we not feel spell-bound as Macbeth was?" (Lamb). After the witches reveal the fate of Macbeth becoming king, he begins to develop an immoral plan to carry out the prophecy. The only way for Macbeth to have the throne will be to wait or to kill King Duncan.

Had the three sisters not confronted Macbeth with the news of his possible future would he have thought of a ...

... to be drafted into the war-just one year later. One day Finny, the best athlete in the school, came up with the crazy idea to jump out of a tree into a river. All of the seventeen-year olds had accomplished this task because it was a mandatory test for the war. Phineas, naturally was the first sixteen-year old to conquer this feat; so Gene was the second. None of the other boys ever tried the jump. After a while the two made it an almost day-to-day activity. The two boys were a lot alike, but Gene had this underlying resentment of Finny and he felt that Finny was deliberately trying to make him do badly in school because he was constantly dragging Gene along with him to go jump out of ...

... just so he may remain king (The witches said Banquo's sons would be kings, and Macbeth didnt like that). To boot, Macbeth sends assassins to kill Macduffs family. By the end of the play, Macbeth is a ruthless, honorless king, and gets killed by Macduff.

... been fostered by national administrations as a way of deflecting anger about the state of the economy and the declining quality of urban life. Rubin warns that failure to recognize the suffering of the working-class family and to seek solutions for its problems jeopardize ``the very life of the nation itself”. The most striking part of this book is the evidence of the political machine that practically invites racism and other divisive forces into the situation. Families on the Fault Line contributes to a broader understanding of the pressures on the family through the case studies that Rubin demonstrates by using real people to illustrate these many different areas of class, race, and e ...
