... with the wallpaper she becomes. In her mind,
the wallpaper becomes more than just wallpaper. It
takes on human characteristics. This paper looks
to me as if it knew what a vicious influence it
had (107)! When the story begins, the narrator
refers to the house as haunted. This theme is
again brought to the forefront when she begins to
describe the wallpaper. There is a recurrent spot
where the pattern lolls like a broken neck and two
bulbous eyes stare at you upside down (107).

Lady Macbeth Tragic Hero
935 words
Since the name of this play is Macbeth, most
people wouldnt think of anyone but Macbeth being a
tragic hero in this story. However, if the
character of Lady Macbeth is examined we see that
she is a tragic hero. A tragic hero is a
protagonist, usually of high estate and neither
entirely good nor bad. He is perfect except for a
Hamartia (flaw), which is the significant factor
leading to his suffering, that eventually brings
him down in the end. More often than not, the
tragic flaw is hubris (arrog...

Fact That Holden Catcher In The Rye
1,101 words
Siblings are never meant to get along. They yell
and bicker over everything and are never able to
have a friendly relationship. Very rarely do I see
a pleasant relationship between a brother and a
sister, who actually are able to communicate
without killing each other. When I see siblings
that are nice to each other, I admire them because
it takes a lot to be nice to their siblings,
especially if there is a seven year difference
between them, like Holden and Phoebe. In J. D.
Salinger's novel, Th...

passage from man to man, inhaling, holding in the
humiliation. Scary stuff, one of them might say.
But then someone else would grin or flick his
eyebrows and say, Roger-dodger, almost cut me a
new asshole, almost. There were numerous such
poses. Some carried themselves with a sort of

... al assumption is that religion has to do with
spiritual vision. And while there may be only one
religious reality, this reality must be seen, even
if only momentarily through various forms. In this
sense he is not a Christian writer, even though
there are many references to Jesus in his fiction
because his historic Christianity attributes
spiritual blindness to sin, not just the lack of
sensitivity that Salinger repeatedly depicts.

On the Road Jack Kerouac, father of the Beat
generation, almost an explorer of American
society, documented his journeys across our nation
in the guise of Sal Paradise in his signature
novel, On the Road. Some felt that this book was
an attack on America, and others praise it as the
definition of Americas culture. To myself, it was
fascinating tail of adventure, people, and life.
