When that drunken slob, that hiked-skirt-lush, that drooling sack of gin and pretzels wheels around on the barstool, they are like some sort of high-tech military genius. Heat seeking, automatic aiming, lurching and looming on a hair trigger, the drunk searches for a target. Depending on the specific setting the ending will vary. Meatheads fight, skanks grind on some random’s junk, nerds argue about anti-matter. Eventually they all are removed or asked to leave.
The reader can get a sense of the tragic tone in the card game that Candy and George play together. "They took places opposite each other at the table under the light, but George did not shuffle the cards. He rippled the edge of the deck nervously, and the little snapping noise drew the eyes of all the men in the room, so that he stopped doing it. The silence fell on the room again. A minute passed, and another minute.
Slots Three through Seven are unmanned and I could see her wondering between Stokes and me, but Stokesie with his usual luck draws an old party in baggy gray pants who stumbles up with four giant cans of pineapple juice (what do these bums do with all that pineapple juice' I've often asked myself) so the girls come to me. Queenie puts down the jar and I take it into my fingers icy cold. Kingfish Fancy Herring Snacks in Pure Sour Cream: 49¢. Now her hands are empty, not a ring or a bracelet, bare as God made them, and I wonder where the money's coming from. Still with that prim look she lifts a folded dollar bill out of the hollow at the center of her nubbled pink top.
Innocence Destroyed by the Evil of Mankind In Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird,” Tom Robinson and Boo Radley symbolize mockingbirds that “sing their hearts out for us” (90), but mimic other bird’s songs. Since mockingbirds have no song of their own, they are judged by what other birds sing. Neither Boo nor Tom has their own song and they are labelled through silent gossip and hurtful actions from Maycomb citizens. Boo Radley is a mockingbird because he is seen as a “malevolent phantom” (8), judged by his lifestyle of not leaving his house. Tom Robinson is seen as a rapist, judged by the colour of his skin.
At night the Jem and Scout hear scraping and believe that it may be Boo Radley out seeking his revenge. They would imagine him scratching on the screen and picking it apart with his fingers. "Boo was about six-and-a-half feet tall, judging from his tracks; he dined on raw squirrels and any cats he could catch, that's why his hands were bloodstained -- if you ate an animal raw, you could never wash the blood off. There was a long jagged scar that ran across his face; what teeth he had were yellow and rotten his eyes popped, and he drooled most of the time." (Lee’s pg.13) As the story progresses the children discover little trinkets in a tree by the Radley
In the large houses, where the rich were living, splendid meals were being eaten. Lavish food was being offered by the slaves; excellent wine was being poured by the slave-girls; songs were being sung by very skillful cithara players. But in the high block of flats, no splendid meals were being eaten, no cithara players were being heard. There the poor men, almost overcome by hunger, were living a very miserable life. Some were writing letters to patrons in order to seek their help; others were preparing to commit crimes.

Dona Evarista is seen taking delight over her husband's glory, covered herself with silks, jewels and flowers. Everyone in the area came to see her for more than two times. People not only paid court to her but praised her, for — and this fact does great honor to the society of the time. I find that complexity and ambiguity are the major characteristics of Onetti's story and he is not very much to arriving at the truth of a situation than in isolating its components and its alternatives which are very likely to bring about falsehood as facts. But Allende is a psychological realist, and she recognizes realism and the need for the oxygen of romance in the routine of human existence.
Powder (usually rice powder) was vital to the Flapper look: skin looked white to the point of near-death; one author called it, "the pallor usually associated with innate vice". Themes in makeup as in dresses were based on the Orient. Along with other 'unfeminine' behaviors, Flappers didn't hide their makeup any more than they did their legs; lipstick was applied at the dinner table and powder compacts made public appearances at parties and speakeasies. Portable makeup containers—compacts and lipstick tubes made of precious metals and encrusted with jewels—became ideal accessories when cosmetics left the boudoir for the
