is and if we as humans possess it. Freedom is
defined by Webster's Dictionary as the exemption
from power or control of another, or exemption
from necessity, in choice and action, known
generally as free will. However, this does not
cover the full implications of pure and absolute
freedom. Absolute freedom is one such that a
person not only understands that there are no
restrictions on his actions, but also that his
actions are guided by his own...

When Narrative Perception Narrative Perception
When literature first began to take flight in
America, many of the stories written were of the
Gothic variety. American society, at the time,
seemed to connect with fantasy and reality,
therefore many early writers wrote in the Gothic
style. Most of these Gothic stories feature
characters whose perceptions of themselves and the
world around them are abnormal due to drug use,
being in a dream state, or simply just madness. In
comparing two short stor...

Lonely Road Red Room Jane

There are many symbolic and psychological
functions of place, setting, and landscape in Jane
Eyre. Charlotte Bronte uses descriptions
throughout the novel to exaggerate the effect of
an event. Bronte also uses setting (less
frequently however) to foreshadow a situation, or
the nature of a situation. From the commencement
of the story, the reader is introduced to the
climate. A cold, winter day, full of clouds and
rain is described. Physical abuse by John Reed and
the family's rejection of Jane s...

Perhaps the reason why these two novels share some
of the same qualities is because they both reflect
painful experiences which occurred in Dickens

Expectations, talked often about the abuse he

The Premarital Sex Premarital Sex The controversy
over premarital sex has never been more profound
than it is today. The very mention of the word
brings forth radically different reactions. At one
time, the very subject of sex was taboo, and then
the sexual revolution was introduced as a time
when people were unrestrained and open to explore
their sexuality. Today, many have become so
inordinately apprehensive about sexually related
diseases that they perceive premarital sex as
totally foolhardy...
