... a phony or moron. This behavior is seen when
Holden comes in contact with Sally Hayes. Holden
is talking of her somewhat positively, but then
when she answers, Yes-who is this? Holden calls
her a little phony. Id already told her father who
it was. (Salinger 106). As Holden's realization
that she is not what he is looking for becomes

... to know. A man who has for years pretended to
be a deaf-mute, his mind is a jumble of seemingly
random, terrifying sights and sounds: people swell
and shrink according to their power over others;
like machines, they shoot electric beams at those
who stand in their way. In moments of greatest
stress, the Chief's mind becomes entirely clouded
by a dense fog. Only when he recalls his Indian
boyhood are his thoughts at all clear, and even
these happy memories tend to be shattered by his
fear of ...

Mother And Sister World Of Illusion

Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very
persistent one. -- Albert Einstein. The most
important theme in The Glass Menagerie is the
difficulty people have in accepting and relating
to reality. As a result of their inability to
overcome this difficulty, the characters withdraw
into a private world of illusion to find the
comfort they cant find in real life. Out of the
three Wingfield family members, Laura probably is
the one living furthest away from reality. There
are several symbols in the ...

King Lear Childishness Old Age Sight Blindness

Childishness, old age, sight and blindness are
symbols in "King Lear." They are connected with
the psychological setting of the play. They also
show another aspect of the Shakespearean style;
that is, paradoxes and ironies. Childishness is
found in Lears decision of dividing his kingdom
and his requirement to continuing to be treated as
a king. He wants to dispose of all the burdens of
his kingdom concerning political decisions, but at
the same time, he insists on having all kings
prerogatives. ...

Van Gogh The Expressionist

"What lives in art and is eternally living, is
first of all the painter, and then the painting. "
- Vincent Van Gogh Expressionism is an art form in
which the very style itself and the symbols that
the artist uses are meant to express his innermost
feelings on the subject. Vincent van Gogh has
often been hailed as the quintessential
expressionist painter. His artwork covers a range
of moods over the years, and his canvases are
almost mirrors into his troubled soul. Vincent van
Gogh lived a troub...

Physical Symptoms Grieving Process
922 words
Grief is a range of emotions and behaviours shown
by people when confronted with a sudden loss. This
range is divided up into a number of stages, or a
process of grief. Doctor Granger Westburg
developed 10 stages that illustrated these
emotions linked with behaviour and then was
followed by a number of people who developed
another process of several stages based on this
original theory. Doctor Westburg discovered that
grief is a process, not a state, after observing
these faced with loss. He not...

Brian's exasperated accusation that
Sally is 'as fatale as an after dinner mint' is
expressed at the end of a weekend away with Max.
The outburst reveals Brian's opinion that Sally is
not the seductress she fancies herself to be, but
is simply 'deluding' herself. However, one must
stop to consider the meaning of harmless when
applied to Sally Bowles. She is essentially
self-absorbed and theatr...

Nazi Ideology Weimar Republic

Hitler became chancellor in January 1933. By March
he had full dictatorial power. There is no doubt
that the impact of the depression on the German
people gave way to the rise of Hitler. It was the
single most important factor of Hitler's coming to
power, however it wasnt the only factor. Hitler
had remarkable speaking abilities, which helped
him woo the public. His use of force with the SA
and the inability of the Left wing political
groups to combine, also contributed in his rise.

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said It is a luxury to be

same thing to three different employees or
coworkers at your company and get three different
reactions? One will give you a blank stare. The
second will respond with a stream of excuses. And
the third understands what you are saying and
comes up with a suggestion that you hadn't even

Catcher In The Rye Tabula Rasa

I received word that the editors of the Little
Brown and Company are considering changing the
cover of JD Salingers novel, The Catcher in the
Rye. I strongly recommend that the cover be left
alone. The book has been commended on its
exemplary literary meaning for the past fifty
years; the present cover is a visual
representation of this meaning. The blank cover
expresses the overriding theme of controlling ones
own fate, similar to John Locke's idea of the
tabula rasa (blank slate). Indirectly, ...

Hamlet is an enigma. No matter how many ways
critics examine him, no absolute truth emerges.
Hamlet breathes with the multiple dimensions of a
living human being, and everyone understands him
in a personal way. Hamlet's challenge to
Guildenstern rings rue for everyone who seeks to
know him: "You would pluck out the heart of my
mystery. " None of us ever really does. The
