Miss Emma Ice Cream
960 wordsIn A Lesson Before Dying, Mr. Grant Wiggins life crises were the center of the story. Although he was supposed to make Jefferson into a man, he himself became more of one as a result. Not to say that Jefferson was not in any way transformed from the hog he was into an actual man, but I believe this story was really written about Mr. Wiggins. Mr. Wiggins improved as a person greatly in this book, and that helped his relationships with other people for the most part. At the start of the book, he m...

Eldest Son Second Period
1,192 wordsEssay By Paul Beer: William Shakespeare was a supreme English poet and playwright, universally recognized as the greatest of all the dramatists.

He was probably educated in a local grammar school. As the eldest s...

Hamlets Soliloquy Fathers Murder
1,001 wordsThe Ghost The Ghost Using all of his seemingly infinite faculties to compose Hamlet, Shakespeare gives each significant character in the play all the depth and emotion of a living human being. Because of this, the characters, as well as the plot, become extremely intricate and difficult to define. Simply assigning a label to each character does not do justice to their complexity because no one character acts according to any easily discernible guidelines. By this reasoning, it is difficult to de...

It is plain to see that she is manipulating and brainwashing her adopted daughter Estella in order to live vicariously through her, since her physically and evidently emotionally withered body and mind will not allow her to take action herself. Estella becomes an extension of her pervading bitterness towards men, and the vulnerable social neophyte Pip serves as the perfect target, even from his boyhood days. Pip is subject...
