Page 50. “Perhaps I should not have been a fisherman‚ he thought. But that was the thing that I was born for.” Page 10. “Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated.” I think the mere fact that a man of his age is so unyielding in his decision to continue fishing proves his own resolute determination. He is obviously encumbered by a number of physical weaknesses that come with old age‚ and yet it is this cheerful and undeafeated

The scene was one of cosy domesticity‚ a man and a woman sharing breakfast after a night out clubbing together. Married? Lovers? Boyfriend and girlfriend‚ or just a platonic relationship‚ it could have been any of the three‚ and the scene would have been mirrored in many homes across Rome. They were normal. Or at least‚ together‚ they contained a semblance of normality‚ which to Kyle‚ was almost as eerie a sensation as was the morning after his first murder to know that the woman across from him

It’s a normal day‚ just getting off of work and smelling the perfume. I have loved how the kerosene smells on me. I was a fireman‚ a fireman who burned books for a living. I followed in my family’s footsteps and became a fireman‚ that only burnt books. Which soon turned into having to burn buildings because they contained books. Paper burned at 451 degrees fahrenheit. Burning books always seemed to make me happy. Ray Bradbury wanted people to know the good between bad. There were some very nice

The story-Huckleberry Finn-is written mostly using nefarious characters supporting the same immoral ideas. Ideas contradicting the protagonist. The quest to reach freedom in certain chapters becomes futile. But‚ the freedom-seekers do not quell to accomplish their journey. Jim an Huck have been deprived from their freedom and enmity was a part of daily life. I agree with “Leo Marx from Mr. Eliot‚ Mr. Trilling‚ and Huckleberry Fin” that in the end they are back to the beginning. Despite Jim’s declaration
