My opinion is that the book was better, but I found myself lost in certain times.So if you are like me then you would be better off watching the movie because then you would understand things quicker and they would make sense to you.Atticus’s quote on courage was one of the most important things in the book.As for me, being a daydreamer and all, I still prefer the book because that’s where you get the whole story and not just the majority of the story.I told you a few of each so that you could have your own opinion.

...o conform to society and not rock the boat.But Ruth Hall, I found very interesting.She can get her point across effectively while not upsetting the standards set out for them.However, The Bostonians was much longer than it needed to be.Both of these books, The Bostonians, and Ruth Hall, were easy to read and understand.

The plant is personified; The plant is personified, By allowing the philodendron to plant to have such This personification not only establishes a feeling a wilderness of the plant but also establishes the persona’s emotional attachment to the plant.September 19, 2008 Angelica Tong, 12BJ .Moreover, we realize that the protagonist is aware that the plant is wild and would not adapt to his small home, he states, “It’s those long, ever-longer, reaching arms that don’t fit through the door” This protection is both forceful and naive-the plant is wild and won’t “fit through the door”, thus the protagonist’s intention of domesticating the plant is a naive .Throughout the poem the protagonist has a tone of awe and anxiety.He is fascinated a...

We should all live at least half of the life that Jesus did and then maybe, just maybe we wouldn't have to live in the world that we have to live in today.Doing the work that Jesus would have wanted us to do.What should matter is that he died for mankind's sins because we couldn't take care of the way we lived by ourselves.He helped people who could not help themselves and he died for all of our sins so that when we die we can see God.In the Gospel of Matthew Chapter seven verse 1 through 3 Jesus says, "Stop judging, that you may not be judged.

It offers us insight into his emotions and enables us to see a side of humanity that we do not normally have the opportunity to see.The novel reveals many things about humanity that are not often discussed or thought about by humans.Frankenstein is an "account of the monstrous potential of human creative power when severed from moral and social concerns has made it a modern myth that recurs persistently…" (906).One the other hand, it is a deeply emotional story about a tragic creature that is forced to live in a society that shuns him.So Shelley’s novel shows us what humanity could be like if we were not taught right from wrong and had to cope with the kind of emotions that the creature has to cope with without any help from anyone aroun...

Travel broadens the mind only if the traveller uses a lot of discretion in choosing where he wants to go.It is not to be got by just looking at old buildings, or swinging in night clubs.Such travel serves no purpose.The rush tours which are so popular and which show you the so called ‘best’ parts of a country will hardly broaden the mind.Needless to say the I saw almost nothing.

Chilly breezes would sweep magnificently through our house, almost as if the wind had a mind of its own.The wind is a spirit; it is like a hand that strokes the earth to soothe it; and if you were to use an innate acuity (which we all possess) the spirit in the wind will surely touch you.... looked innocent and tranquil.The cold dry winter would always come too early, and the downpoors begin too late.For me, the torrential southern downpoors have never lasted long enough.

It may seem strange that normal people feel a pull towards such bloody story lines but it’s far from unethical.The unknown and impossible to understand strikes fear but also intriegues.Having one’s curiosity aroused by cold hearted serial killers is not unethical but natural.These concerns are unfounded because if a killer is planning to kill it’s been seen too many times that they will do it at any rate.It’s expected that people will be fascinated by things they don’t understand.

And people, for better or for worse, react to that.What we speak and how we speak, speak about our history as an individual.Reference Lu, Mei-Yu.However, the value of the mother tongue should never be forgotten.Knowing English is the ship that will help us to get where we want to go, but it is our mother tongue that will be our anchor; the one that will help us find our way should we get lost.

Colonial overlords of a poverty stricken Shanghai, they do not cope well with their collective fall from grace, and by degrees, a selfish, every-man-for-himself attitude takes over.In particular, I am fascinated by how Japanese society could end up breeding such indifference towards other human beings, both Chinese and European alike.Of the adults in the book, only Dr Ransom, the idealistic camp Doctor, and Mr Maxted, an architect turned entrepreneur, actually manage to uphold the ideals of civilised society in the face of an enemy whose every action works to dehumanise.If you haven't already, you really ought to read this book.Overall, this is a brilliantly written book.

Nevertheless, they fuel our imaginations and their influence generates hundred of thousands of dollars in revenue each year.To never have to worry about growing old, weak and sick- not to be dependent on anyone for your most basic needs – hence the attraction of the vampire to the older fan.Not bad for a creature that doesn’t exist!!Interestingly, the vampire fans range through all ages.Think of being able to stop aging to continue just as you are, mature – past all those awkward teen and young adult problems, yet not to old to enjoy life.

The time period as we know it may have seemed primitive to some of us, but the Egyptians in fact had developed a very sophisticated and complex society.Power was thereby centralized into the hands of a self-proclaimed God King, giving birth to the very first organized society in the known world.... middle of paper ... .Ent, Uzal W. www.pbs.org.At the very beginning of the Pharaonic Age, 2200 BC, they put into power their first official ruler, King Menes (Metz).

So next time you are at the beach just pop on over to the rock pools and have a peek, you might get the same spark that I’m blessed to have and remember, just keep swimming.After a few months there I had people coming back, and bringing new people in to the marine centre and they would recognise me and say, “Hi I’m black, you were so helpful last time and I’ve brought some new friends” this really got me as I didn’t realise just how much I was helping the place out and that also along with talking to some of the other volunteers who already work in the field like Dr Victor Anderlini, Andrew (an ichthyologist at Te Papa and Jules who runs the open days) of what I’m wanting to study it really made me want to further my knowledge and study ...

This also gives a sense of foreshadowing because later on in the novel, the reader discovers that Shelter was actually from the army, and he creates a little a little army of his self with the homeless people or as he call them his “lucky lads”.If an author can’t write the most important paragraph of a book properly, why would the rest of the novel be any different?From the opening chapters of Stone Cold, it is clear that even in a little extract of a novel authors use the authors craft quite a lot, and very complexly.“Well get fell in my lucky lads.” Here Shelter is referring back to the army, when soldiers fall into line.They should judge it by its opening paragraphs.

On page 95 Torvald says a long speech, “A wife…I’ve forgiven you.” This speech contains many important elements to Torvald’s character, for example that use of the word ‘I’, this shows that Torvald believes that he is very important, and that Nora is dependent on him.Even by the end of the play, when Torvald realizes that he is dependent on Nora he still doesn’t understand what ‘something glorious’ is.His understanding of prejudges never changes.He doesn’t understand what Nora had done was done to help Torvald.As a conclusion, Torvald is a person which judges people by appearances, and fascinates beauty and appearances to only bring his own character up, and to give himself a higher status.

Cosplayers want us to be happy as much as they enjoy cosplaying but we have to treat them with the same respect that we demand from others.Many hobbies develop skills in those that are part of it.Actually, cosplay hones more skills than an average hobby.Many cosplayers have established businesses involved in prop making and costume making.They are not freaks with mental disorders nor are they dressing up for our viewing pleasure.

People who promise to rebuild terrible historical events can only make this movie.This film is an incredible epic of Schindler and Jewish workers (known as Schindler Ruden).At first I was standing at the Nazis, but Schindler continued to save the lives of over 1,000 Jews who were considered indispensable to his factory.The movie is currently colored to remind the audience that the Holocaust victims are still mourning.Oscar Schindler rescued 1,200 Jews.

Henrik Ibsen creates a fascinating tale filled with intrigue and set of characters that make for a great story.Christine loved Krogstad but at the time he did not have the money she needed to insure that her family would be taken care of.The one fundamental difference between the Helmers and Christine and Krogstad is that they were able to work out their problems and solve their issues like reasonable adults.Nora/Torvald and Christine/Krogstad truly are two fundamentally different sets of people.The Helmers and Christine and Krogstad have very different perceptions of what love is.

Abigail's most convincing lie could not get what she really wanted, but her actions during the play influenced many events and gave her the most fascinating of The Crucible I made it a role.Please refer to Mirror 's introduction to Abigail Williams with "Waste".Abigail, a retaliable girl, she is just a young girl, but she feels better than many other characters.How realistic he is about her performance as a controller.She often tries to manipulate a group of people and people, often lying.Both show a determination to get what you want.

Jamaica Kincaid calls England “meaningful.” She feels that it is significant and of importance to her.She shows fascination and awe using these literary terms.To Kincaid “England was a special jewel…and only special people got to wear it.” Kincaid exhibits her admiration for England by giving up her preferences to emulate English behaviors.Throughout the Kincaid passage the phrase England is constantly repeated.Kincaid shows her admiration for England when she says “the people who got to wear England were English people.” Kincaid considers the people of England remarkable and they leave a lasting impression on her.

The novel is basically a book of short stories, all surrounding Sal and sometimes Dean.It is definitely a classic.The high points (like in any road trip) are not when they reach the places they are going, but in the trips themselves.I guess you could call it a "wild ride"."On the Road", by Jack Kerouac is a very unique piece of literature, different from anything I've read before.

The ducks traveling to a warmer climate in the winter represents change and eventually gives Holden the reassurance that although change occurs, things get back to where they should be eventually.Holden became a phony by contradicting himself, when he always talked about how much he cared for Jane Gallagher, his childhood crush, yet never called her.Holden struggles in wanting to stay the same but like the ducks, eventually learns that change is necessary in adapting to his environment and to overcome obstacles that are presented upon him.Holden’s puts himself in a predicament where he doesn’t allow his self to shy away from Allie’s death, because of guilt.Holden is afraid of change and its outcome.

I said it fascinated me.Lord Henry had begun to exert control over Dorian from the very first time they spoke, but it was bargain that they made which caused the inevitable tragic ending of Dorian’s life.Henry himself admits to the fact that he is experimenting with Dorian, “It was clear to him that the experimental method was the only method by which one could arrive at any scientific analysis of the passions: and certainly Dorian Gray was a subject made to his hand, and seemed to promise rich and fruitful results”.There is a great difference.’ ‘Ah, you have discovered that?” murmured Lord Henry.And as we see in the end of the novel, he did so miserably.
