In fact, had Melville not peppered the story with his narrative, light-hearted, internal musings, and shared with the audience a "grasping at straw" style of rationalization, the main theme could only have been categorized as tragic. ...
"A Good Man is Hard to Find," a short story by Flannery O'Connor, is full with a religious theme, symbols, and characters. In most of her stories, she uses these religious elements because we can infer that she was a very devout in her type of faith and was so passionate about to write about it. Thi...
Pro Same-Sex Marriage When it comes to marriage, I feel everyone should have that right. Marriage is a very important decision, which no one should interfere with. For instance, here is a passage from Patricia Nell Warren's essay entitled Homosexuality Is a Legitimate Choice. "Today some rad...
Though clearly grasping at straws, and trying to appeal to the greater good in order to rationalize what is essentially a broken promise, a look deeper shows that Jason is also trying to convince himself that what he is doing is perfectly reasonable and still remains an example of civilized culture. ...
It is to this "changed" Helmer that she holds out this straw of hope - "the miracle" - at the last moment: the almost utopian hint that they might at some future time again meet as two independent and free individuals on an equal footing. ...
