... or putting into the park. The tiny aspects that they failed to see contributed to the failure of the park as a whole. Just as important as the tiny details of the park that were overlooked, if not more important, was the technical failures associated with human stupidity. When the park was designed the humans controlling this obviously didn't consider that there could be problems in the system. The park was thought be designed perfectly. The land was set up to control and maintain these animals while the computer system that ran the entire park was the "best" one ever. The designers were so cocky about the perfection of the computer system and the park layout that they completely o ...

... either his long delay or his depression and insanity. Maybe he’s scared of taking revenge on Claudius, he may think by taking revenge he endangers his own soul. “No matter how right a man might think his motives are, if Claudius is innocent; the act of revenge would inevitably make Hamlet as evil as the accused in the eyes of God” (Becker p.32). “Hamlet decides to test Claudius’ guilt and the authenticity of the ghost; he will stage a performance of a play, which will reproduce Claudius’ crime and observe his reaction to it”(Durband p.304). This plan was successful because Claudius broke down during the performance. Hamlet now knows Claudi ...

... Simon's means listener and Rogers means spear. This gives a clue to who could be the leader and who might survive and why society on the island broke down. While reading chapter one, the reader can discover one of the many themes of the story. The need for civilization is the most obvious one. With out civilization man tries to define himself. Maybe that's why Jack Merridew in civilization is the leader of the boys' choir then is the leader of the tribe. How ironic that in the beginning the characters are described as well-educated young boys and turn out to be savage, ignorant boys. This is because they had no understanding of their surroundings and no idea of how to act without bounda ...

... they are staying one on a side of the wall. It seems that Frost enjoys working with his neighbor separately when he says “Oh, just another kind of outdoor game, one on a side”. However Frost also gives us a feeling that there is other meaning to it. A game very often symbolizes a competition, or a fight. We can see it in Frost expression that he doesn’t want to compete with his neighbor. He was somewhat being sarcastic. He wants to work along with his neighbor, and maybe even get to know more about him. This could be an implication that Frost dislikes a wall between him and his neighbor. While they are fixing the wall, Frost suggests his neighbor that part of their land doesn’t r ...

... which is a blow for a blow by the strange Green Knight. He strikes the head off the Green Knight, and therefore it is the Green Knight's turn to strike Sir Gawain's head off. This is when the magical or supernatural part of the story comes. After Sir Gawain cuts off the Green Knight's head, the Green Knight picks up his head and puts it back on, which of course is impossible. Most romances will have a supernatural part to make a story more interesting to the listener or reader. Since the Green Knight is still alive, Sir Gawain must keep his promise of a stroke for a stroke, but the Green Knight thinks Sir Gawain is too young. He gives Sir Gawain one year to find him at the Green ...

... After Perry is wounded and sent back to war he becomes horrified by the thought of going back to war, and throws up. Another difference between Perry before an after the war is the fact that before the war he had never killed anyone or had been around death that much. After the war you know that he will never forget these tragedies, because these are very traumatizing things to see, and they scar for life. One example that probably scared Perry for the rest of his life were the sounds he heard after Brew, and himself had been shot. He saw them trying to help Brew, but then “ I heard the zipper. I didn’t have to see it. I heard the zipper (208).” This sound, you can only imag ...

... creative, and submissive woman. The bird that Mrs. Wright has and cares for shows the sensitivity of her soul. When the women step into the kitchen one of the first thing that they notice is the bird cage. The bird was sold to her by a door to door salesman. The bird also suggests the lonliness she has. Mrs. Wright cared for the bird so much that when her husband killed it, she avenged its death. She mourned the bird after it was gone and it served as the final straw that broke the camel's back. The women also noticed the untidyness of the kitchen. Everything looked like it was "a nice mess" (186). Also when Mrs. Wright is in jail she starts to worry about her fruit she ...

... he is jeopardizing his relationship with other men in order to defend Lennie’s actions. George is further discouraged when he realizes, based on Lennie’s behavior that he can never be left alone- even to go to the bathroom. Lennie can’t even be trusted not to kill puppies while petting them. Lennie, in fact, goes so far as to kill the owner’s daughter-in-law. By this point, George, a nice yet overly ambitious individual, could no longer control this growing contempt towards his once beloved Lennie. As George’s feelings changed, he started vocalizing his frustrations towards Lennie. Before, George would plead with Lennie with words of love to run away. Now, George actually suggests it. Georg ...

... deathlike solitude"(71). The relationship between the two Frankenstein and the creature is in a sense a combination of power. Frankenstein forced the creature into a life of solitude against his own will. "Hateful day when I received life… accursed creator…I am solitary and abhorred"(106). Yet by creating him, he had pulled himself into the same path of loneliness. His powerful use of knowledge of creation has in turn role reversed the approval between leader and suppressor. The creature's monstrous build and frame has made him strong and evil. His dislike for mankind has created a path of destruction and he now over powers Frankenstein. "Slave… remember that I have power… you a ...

... runs away and hides itself, because it is afraid of something on [Hester's] bosom" (146), the Scarlet Letter, which represents Hester's acceptance of Puritan law and way of life. Therefore her sin doesn't invite the sympathy of Nature. This is why when she throws the letter on the ground "forth burst the sunshine, pouring a very flood into the obscure forest . . ."(162). Only then did Nature show its acceptance by flooding the forest with sunshine. The sympathy that Nature extends to Pearl is what makes her so different. Pearl has two personalities, one being that which belongs to Puritan life, the other being that of the wild "elf-child" of the forest. For her entire life she has been ...
