To Kill A Mockingbird: Scout
.... to show off his talent.
Another misperception that Scout has is about Mrs. Dubose. She always thought of her as a mean old lady who had nothing better to do than to yell at children.

She took it as a painkiller for years"(Lee 111). After she dies Scout starts to grasp the fact that Mrs. Dubose had a very hard time being happy.

.... promotes further analyses of the text. Aside from Job, Ruth is the only book in the Biblical canon named after a non-Israelite, as well as the only other book, aside from Esther, with a titular female character . The rare similarities encourage the comparison to Job, a non-Israelite, finding favor in God, and the parallel with Esther marrying a Gentile husband, suggesting Gentiles were to only be blessed through Abraham’s seed. However, the extent to which God actually provided for Ruth is questionabl .....

Jane Eyre
.... I have no feelings, and that I can do without one bit of love or kindness, but I cannot live so and you have no pity” (Bronte 68). Here I make my first declaration of independence, contending that I will no longer be a secondary member. The love that gives desire and power which sustains life, is obvious by the fact that my “fear” of the consequences of a fully developed emotional response leads to its own destruction (Blom 91). Because I am “too passionate” – that is angry, rebellious, and prone to re .....

The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse
.... "like a dead person" sums up the work of the other three i.e. kill by sword, famine and plaque, and by the wild beast of the earth. Hades follows close behind this rider because he always follows death.
I believe that one day this will happen. It seems like its happening already since there are a lot of wars, a lot of poor countries that don't have the luxury like the richer counties and there are a lot of men slaying one another. If this was to happen right now there would be nothing for me to do. I wou .....

"Hoops" Vs. "He Got Game"

Lonnie, from "Hoops," was a very good basketball player, and Jesus from "He Got Game," was streetwise and a good player also. They each caught an opportunity to rise above the rest in their games, and were recognized by colleges as prospects. They .....

Life In A Medieval Village
.... clutter, smells, disrepair, and dust, or in much of the year mud. It was far from silent!
Every village had a lord, but only rarely was he in residence. A resident lord was usually a petty knight. The old feudal theory of lordship as a link in the legal chain of authority running from serf to monarch had lost much of it's substance. However, as far as the village was concerned such legal complications hardly mattered, anymore than whether the lord was great or small. A village with two or mo .....

The Color Of Water: When Tragedy Strikes
