    “I fret about nothing on earth except papa’s illness,’ answered my companion. ‘I care for nothing in comparison with papa. And I’ll never—never—oh, never, while I have my senses, do an act or say a word to vex him. I love him better than myself, Ellen; and I know it by this: I pray every night that I may live after him; because I would rather be miserable than that he should be: that proves I love him better than myself.” (Brontë 200)…

    #8: “The stars were shining, and the leaves rustled in the woods ever so mournful; and I heard an owl, away off, who-whooing about somebody that was dead, and a dog crying about somebody that was going to die, and the wind was trying to whisper something to me, and I couldn’t make out what it was, and so it made the cold shivers run over me. Then away out in the woods I heard that kind of a sound that a ghost makes when it wants to tell about something that’s on its mind and can’t make itself understood, and so can’t rest easy in its grave, and has to go about that way every night grieving. I got so down hearted and scared I did wish I had some company” (13).…

    With the very few sentences he has used to describe Ackley, Holden already embeds an image of an unhygienic, disliked Ackley into the reader’s mind through imagery such as this. He later goes on to describe his actions, like cutting his nails, in detail to create more negative imagery of Ackley. Holden also describes events such as going to the movies with Brossard, Ackley, and other guys to illustrate the interactions of Ackley with other people which seem, to some extent, better than that of Holden with others.…

    The Great Gatsby Research Paper

    In the novel The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gatsby’s life is seen through the eyes of Nick Carraway. He had recently moved to West Egg, a peninsula off of Long Island. Next door lived an eccentric wealthy man named Jay Gatsby. Across the bay, his cousin Daisy lived with her husband in East Egg. Five years ago Daisy and Gatsby had met in her hometown and fell in love briefly before he had to serve in the war. With the arrival of Nick the two were reacquainted. Though many claim that The Great Gatsby was a tragic love story, it was actually a representation of the unattainable american dream.
