Miss Emma Electric Chair
725 wordsErnest Gaines' A Lesson Before Dying is a novel of self-discovery and confronting responsibility in the face of injustice. Various lines in the novel characterize these themes with a general clarity not found elsewhere. Four specific quotes which seem to project from the page make Gaines' message clear.

Moby Dick Book End One
621 wordsFinishing "Moby Dick" goes up there with my greatest (and few) academic achievements. It was a gruelling read, but -- -in the end -- -completely worthwhile. I've been reading it for 6 months. I started over the summer, during an abroad program in Oxford, and I remember sitting outside reading when one of the professors came over, saw what I was reading, and said: "It's a very strange book, isn't it?" Looking back, that might be the best way to describe it. The blurb from D. H. Lawrence on the ba...

Moby Dick Whale Oil Life
768 wordsMoby Dick is strictly for adults, which is not to say it's salacious or titillating (which, after all, is really just an appeal to that which is most adolescent in us). No, Moby Dick is a book for people who have experienced something of life, felt the painful disappointment of easy answers, smelled the fear of their own mortality and searched frantically for a solution to the puzzle of being alive. The fact that this book is often assigned to adolescents to read is a crime. It's like assigning ...

Macbeth Macbeth Lady Macbeth
1,831 wordsWhat are the main sources of evil in the play? How does Shakespeare get this across to an audience? The witches are the main evil in the play even though they only appear 4 times in the story, but each time they appear they always create an evil atmosphere. When I say 'the main evil in the play' this is my opinion, I feel they are the main because they are pure evil incarnate and they are what trigger the whole thing of.
