Teddy As A Christ Figure
628 words
In "Teddy" by J. D. Salinger, Teddy is illustrated
as a Christ figure. Many aspects of his life are
similar to those of Jesus. Salinger created in
Teddy a mirror-image of the real Christ. From a
very young age, Teddy displays a profound
understanding of the universe and life itself,
exhibited by his deep conclusions about everyday
life. For example, when he is watching the
floating orange peels out of the ships porthole,
he says "Its interesting that I know about them
being there. If I hadnt see...

Fall Asleep Human Beings
945 words
One of the primary themes of Kaye Gibbons novel
Ellen Foster is the vitality of storytelling in
the human life. The fact that narrative is the
only art that exists in all cultures (Morton, 2)
indicates that storytelling is instinctive in all
humans. Nothing passes but the mind grabs is and
looks for a way to fit it into a story, or into a
variety of possible scripts (Morton, 3). In an
article written for The New York Times Book
Review, Katherine Morton restates and supports
many of the storytell...

Running Through Her Head Thoughts Were Running Cathy

What scares you most? Not only what just gives you
a chill down your back, but what also makes you
hide under your covers at night. Is it the shadows
that lurk on the wall, or the fact you still dont
know what lives under your bed. Every individual
person has their own fear in life, but we all seem
to get fears from our wild imaginations. Sometimes
these imaginations can run so deep they can even
live within dreams. A dream that you can not tell
if its reality, or you maybe you just cant wake

Reflect Its Own Slow Effacement Reflect Its Own Slow Prufrock

, talking of Michelangelo, a subject so deep that
it begs a discussion more serious than that of the
chatter at ladies' tea parties. But the women just
come and go, discussing the great artist only
superficially, and Prufrock addresses the ladies
with an air almost of biting sarcasm. Prufrock
then decides to switch back to this other, more
beautiful world, and he describes the fog rubbing
up against the windowpanes. He describes the fog
almost as if it were an animal; personifying it

To present all of the behaviors of chimpanzees in

wasn't a philosopher or historian, or even a

leave critical essays examining his work. It is

to understand a person suffering from Anorexia.
People suffering from anorexia take dieting to
extremes (kubersky 37). Every second and / or
minute, they spend figuring out how to avoid
eating. They make up reasons to explain to their
loved ones why they barely touched their food at

lose more weight. Even when they are really thin,
they see themselves as fat. It is as if the mirror

Modern Society Social Institutions

1) An individualist is considered to be someone
with personality and character, someone who is not
easily intimidated by social pressure or customs,
someone with a personal opinion and a singular
view of the world. Because modern society finds it
important that people think independently, decide
autonomously and take personal initiatives, the
concept of individualism has acquired a positive
connotation. However, individualism is also linked
with the tendency to withdraw from social life and

All of the fairy tales that I have read have all
had a deep meaning or lesson to tell the reader.
These stories do not all clearly show the reader
these messages. As I have found, in most cases I

try to find out any hidden themes or moral
lessons. Fairy tales make good learning tools for
children and adults as well. Through examining the
Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales book, I can see that
the lessons that are told can be interpreted in
