Missouri Compromise Federal Power
415 wordsThe Missouri Compromise is commonly thought of as the beginning of American sectionalism, although the signs were visible long before 1819.

Likewise, it alerted both regions to the political problems inherent in westward expansion. The Missouri Compromise did not create sectionalism, but it is important as the first possible s...

Symbolism In A Rose For Emily By Faulkner
880 wordsWilliam Faulkner's A Rose for Emily is a wonderful short story that begins with the funeral of the main character, Emily Grierson.

The story basically uses the life of Emily Grierson as an allegory for the changes in the post-bellum South after the Civil War. Through the use of a series of symbols, such as Emily's house, hair, clothing, and even Emily's rose, Faulkne...

Four Legs Good Two Legs Napoleon And Snowball
1,231 wordsAnimal Farm, published in 1945, is widely considered to be one of the cornerstones of George Orwell's literary legacy. Though it is a much shorter and somewhat less developed account of totalitarianism than his later work 1984, muted only by its fairy-tale qualities, it is no less frightening in presenting the dangers of blindly following a leader in a political climate of absolute power. Orwell presents to us the story of Manor Farm, run by the drunk, laggard farmer, Mr. Jones. The animals of t...

Only in the lowest moments of his faith does he turn his back on God, but even when he says that he has given up on God completely, Wiesel's constant use of religious metaphors belies El...
