Town People Reader To Understand
1,210 words
The ending in the novel Hetty Dorval written by
Ethel Wilson the ending that is created appears to
have little narrative closure to the reader.
However, there is the idea that the ending could
be symbolic and relate to other aspects of the
novel. Upon a first reading the ending is not
entirely satisfying, yet once one looks at the
minute details that are present in the ending a
sense of reflection and realization of the truth
in this novel takes place. The ending in Hetty

Apollo Seduction Of Creusa Seduction Of Creusa Ion
1,141 words
There is a deep sense of realism that lies in the
play Ion. The opening of the play arouses an old

slowly develops into a tangled plot of deceit. The
theme of the play is unique in how it is centered
on a human dilemma that many can associate with in
some way. From the beginning, one can only imagine
the outcome of Apollo s seduction of Creusa. To
make matters worse she has a child. There is an
uncanny feeling of darkness and silence as she is

Quot How Long Warblers Of America Man

From " Ecology, or the Art of Survival"

Ludlow Griscom and Alexander Spring, Jr. , eds. ,
The Warblers of America and Guy Mountfort, Wild
Paradise, in Nation, 187 (Nov. 15, 1958). When I
say that as I perused these two books the question
of survival kept up a dull continuo in my head,
intruding itself on my pleasure at intervals like
the sound of a faucet left running somewhere, I do
not mean to comment adversely on the books. Nor am

Abnormal Psychology One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest
This movie demonstrates much of what I despise
about my fellow feeble-minded Americans. In this
movie, I saw stereotypes galore, and almost every
cliche in the book. For example, one voluntary
patient is seeking therapy for his marital
problems. It seems that he and his wife were
having sexual problems. This ultimately leads
everyone, patients and viewers alike, to believe
that this man must be gay. As if this werent
