.... story. Mark Twain immediately brings the story to life with his introduction of the characters and their surroundings. From here, the familiarity of the characters and setting continues to grow. The depictions of the characters, both in mannerisms and dialogue, are so picturesque that Tom's superstitions and fantasies soon cause no great surprises, Aunt Polly's religious sayings and hidden affection for her “mischeevous” Tom come to be expected, and Sid's sly attacks on Tom appear deserving of Tom's revenge. The unique setting of St. Petersburg on the Mississippi River provides a suitable background for all of the chara .....

.... The people, question his sanity and form hypothesis’s on his reason for wearing the veil. He becomes feared by the children, ostracized from his former society, and imprisoned in his own heart. The veil symbolically serves multiple purposes. First and foremost, the veil serves to keep Hooper’s face from anyone, who considered him a role model, which, ironically is everyone. He felt that it was inappropriate to be a role model, when he himself had “sorrows dark enough to be typified by a black veil.” Behind the veil lies his hidden shame which he chose to make public as a form of humility. The veil served as a v .....

.... room (205).” This justifies the fact that Atticus believes in the equality of a society, based not only on race, but on sex, class, and religion as well. His view of equality and justice is a symbol of his own psychological stability throughout the novel.

His stability throughout the book is one of the many characteristics that depict Atticus Finch as the novel’s core. In a town of such undeserved glory, Atticus Finch is the one character who is worthy of glorification. Yet, his humility furth .....

.... between replicants and humans. The opening text states that the replicants are not being ‘executed’ but ‘retired.’ It uses such language as ‘mutiny’ which in and of itself brings images of traitors and rebels. The word brings a negative opinion to the audience of replicants. But then again, the word brings images of an act of will, a free decision made by these so called machines. If they are only machines, then how can they decide to rebel against their creator? The question of whether replicants are just machines that can be thrown away when done with or are they truly ‘human .....

.... we come across with that trait is Miss Watson. Miss Watson constantly corrects Huck for his unacceptable behavior, but Huck doesn’t understand why, "That is just the way with some people. They get down on a thing when they don’t know nothing about it" (2). Later when Miss Watson tries to teach Huck about Heaven, he decides against trying to go there, "...she was going to live so as to go the good place. Well, I couldn’t see no advantage in going where she was going, so I made up my mind I wouldn’t try for it." (3) The comments made by Huck clearly show Miss Watson as a hypocrite, scolding Huck for wanting to smoke an .....

.... illegally. Although he has wealth he does not attain anything else. He has no respect, power, or success. Gatsby realized that the life of the higher class requires wealth to become their priority and he realizes that is the only way which will allow him to be with Daisy. When Gatsby fails to reach his dream all he has left to show for is his wealth, which was not even gained morally. Gatsby engaged in criminal activity as his only path to being among the rich. His need for money had become so intense that he "was in the drug business" (95). He had entered a world where money took precedence over moral integrity. Gatsby s .....

.... up to Mr. Antolini petting his head! This freaked Holden out. " I wondered if I was wrong about Mr. Antolini making a flitty pass at me " (194). Holden met a friend who always kept her kings in the back row, what he loves about her. Jane to Holden she was a Goddess! It seemed like every guy wanted her.

.... realize what a kind and pleasant man he really was. Also, Boo was considerate enough to save Jem from a couple of whippings, because after all, if Atticus were to see the torn pants he would have known Jem was the culprit in the Radley's yard. “You were so busy looking at the fire, you didn't notice Boo behind you”(pg 76) This was also a symbol which Boo shared to let the kids slowly realize the truth about him, that he was an innocuous caring person hiding behind a fading shadow. Boo just wanted to be seen as the real him instead of the horrid stereotypes which deformed his image. Misconceptions are results of prejudice .....
