essays. I used to only use the quotation to prove and explain plot points, but now I have learned how to use the quotations to explain ideas. For example, in my essay about A Rose for Emily, I said, “Emily asks for some poison to kill Homer and sleeps with his dead corpse every night” (Wang “Short” 1). This was a clear plot point that I still tried to prove, which was completely unnecessary and took away from the main focus of the essay. Now I actually use the quotations to prove another idea…

destructive actions; but being that Montag has a sense of freedom he is responsible for how he went about doing those actions. An event or action is caused by another event or action that comes before it.

If Montag had not destroyed the original Hound there would be no need to send out a new Hound to…

young woman who decides to give Polynices, her brother, proper burial rites after a battle, in defiance of the law decreed by Creon, the King. One of the topics that the Greek dramatist touches on is powerlessness and the resulting lack of choice. A quotation in the book that portrays this relationship is spoken by Ismene, saying, “I’m forced, I have no choice – I must obey the ones who stand in power.” (Ismene, 78). These words are spoken directly to Antigone during their brief conversation…
