Mrs. Hopewell and Mrs. Freeman symbolize the old South because of the way in which they carry themselves and their traditional beliefs and values. Mrs. Freeman works for Mrs. Hopewell who states "the reason for her keepin her so long was that they were not trash. They were good country people . In contrast to Mrs. Freeman and Mrs. Hopewell, Joy/Hulga represents the new south that is not concerned with self. Hulga did not care to participate in the morning gossip between the older ladies. O'Connor describes Hulga's disregard for the old south and its sense of manners. Within this short story, the reader is presented with two differing views of religion: the devout Christian and the atheist. The devout Christians, Mrs. Hopewell and Mrs. Freeman, represents the old south. The story ends with the atheist being deceived by one who pretends to be a Christian.

Though the central story of The Haunting remains the same as the novel, there are two main elements that were changed for the film. The first is the nature of Eleanor's relationship with Dr. Markway. In the book, Eleanor develops a bit of a crush on Luke, though he appears to favor the company of Theodora. The film version finds Dr. Markway carelessly forgetting to mention that he's married, and consequently Eleanor mistakes his academic interest in her, coupled with his kindness and charm, for genuine affection. Also, in regard to Mrs. Markway, she shows up later in the film as well, though her companion Arthur is not in the film. However, instead of being a flighty mystic as she is in the book, she is rather a hard-nosed skeptic who wants to convince her husband to give up his research and return home. While her character does not get much screen time, it is apparent that she feels somewhat differently by the end of the film. Director Robert Wise found an interesting way to portray Eleanor as the central character, as he gives her sole rights to internal monologues. The viewer sees more of Eleanor than any of the other characters, and since so much of the story revolves around her, this method is quite effective.

did u read it?\nsetting(time)-1910–1940. Though The Color Purple is a historical novel, it never refers to any factual events. There are no dates, little sense of the passage of time, and very few mentions of characters’ ages.\n\nSetting(place) rural Georgia as well as Africa.\nThe book is distinct in that it doesn't offer a very \ndescriptive setting. The reader has to piece it together.\n\nHeres another description:\nThe novel is set in the first half of the twentieth century in Macon County, Georgia. The novel covers the span of a woman's life -- from adolescence to old age. It is set primarily in the African- American community of a small town, though minor parts of it are set within penal system of the town, which is dominated by white people, and a small African village.

I don't believe there is any difference to them at all.  I think it's whatever the fan feels comfortable calling it.  My Aunt calls it Country Western....but, my mom and I will say Country and we are all talking about the same thing.

Off the top of my head I would say the biggest difference between the two was that in the book it's obvious that Idgie and Ruth (Mary Stuart Masterson and Mary Louise Parker) are a couple.  In the movie they sort of gloss over that fact, as if lesbianism was inappropriate, but cannibalism was okay!

There is no true story or real people.  It is a work of fiction.  The movie was based on the Stephen King novella "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption".

Rip van Winkle is a short story by Washington Irving published in 1819, as well as the name of the story's fictional protagonist. It was part of a collection of stories entitled The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon.\nSpoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.\n\n\nThe story, written while Irving was staying with his sister Sarah and her husband Henry van Wart in Birmingham, England, is set in the days before and after the American Revolutionary War. A villager of Dutch descent escapes his nagging wife by wandering up Kaaterskill Clove near his home town of Palenville, New York in the Catskill Mountains. After various adventures (in one version of the tale, he encounters the spirits of Henry Hudson and his crew playing ninepins at the top of Kaaterskill Falls), he settles down under a shady tree and falls asleep. He wakes up 20 years later and returns to his village. He finds out that his wife is dead and his close friends have died in a war or gone somewhere else. He immediately gets into trouble when he hails George III, not knowing that in the meantime the American Revolution has taken place and he is not supposed to be a loyal subject of any Hanoverian any longer.\nSpoilers end here.\n\nThe story is a close adaptation of "Peter Klaus the Goatherd" by J.C.C. Nachtigal, which is a shorter story set in a German village.\n\nIt is also close to Karl Katz, a German fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm. This story is almost identical. One difference is when he sees dwarfs playing a game of ninepins in a mountain meadow. He joins the game. The dwarfs give him a magic drink that makes him fall asleep for twenty years. It is inferred that the dwarfs are teaching him a lesson about laziness.\n\nAfter this story, "Rip van Winkle" can be a reference to a person who sleeps a long time, or to a person who is inexplicably unaware of current events.\n[edit]\n\nAdaptations\nJoseph Jefferson as Rip van Winkle, 1896\nEnlarge\nJoseph Jefferson as Rip van Winkle, 1896\n\nThe story has been adapted for other media for the last two centuries, from stage plays to cartoons to films. Actor Joseph Jefferson was most associated with the character on the 19th century stage and made a series of films starring the character starting in 1896, the earliest of which is in the US National Film Registry. Jefferson's son Thomas followed in his father's footsteps and also played the character in a number of early 20th century films.\n\nThe story contains a "Note 1" at the end, but this was not included in the original first edition.

Without a goosebump doubt, man.  It's that main character from A Separate Peace, by John Knowles.  His name was murrie, I think.

But it DOES have a moral! The moral is that Communism does not work. Communism seems like a great idea at first, but eventually natural heirarchies evolve and the government becomes autocratic.\n\nIn Animal Farm the pigs incite a revolution against the tyrannical Farmer Jones, but by the end of the book they themselves have become the tyrants - indistinguishable from humans.\n\nMost of the characters in the book represent real individuals or organisations from the Communist Revolution in Russia. \n\nFarmer Jones is Tsar Nicholas, Old Major is Marx, Snowball is Trotsky, Napoleon is Lenin or Stalin, Squealer presents the propanda machine, the horses are the people (Boxer representing the working class Proletariats and Molly representing the aristocratic Bourgoise), the raven represents the church, the dogs represent the Red Army, and so on.

Nobody Nowhere: The Extraordinary Autobiography of an Autistic Girl is the award-winning, debut book by Australia-born author, artist, songwriter and screenwriter Donna Williams (born 1963). It was initially published in Britain in 1992, and was on the New York Times Best-Sellers list for over a year staying at number one for over 10 weeks and also went number one in Canada, Japan and Norway. She has since released a musical album by the same name.\n\nIt covers her life from as far back as she can remember (3 years old). At times she was thought to be deaf, psychotic, disturbed or retarded, but only as an adult did she discover that her difficulty interfacing with the world around her was caused by her autism. It ends when she was about to publish it. Somebody Somewhere (1994) was the bestselling sequel which also went number one in Canada, Japan and Norway. This instalment picks up the story of getting the first book published, and how that changed her life. Later autobiographical works include Like Colour To The Blind (1998), and Everyday Heaven (2004).\n\nNobody Nowhere has been published in 20 languages and sold over half a million copies. Donna Williams is also the author of the screenplay of the same name which is optioned to Hollywood film producer, Beverly Nero.

About the theme: Some critics contend that the theme of the story is that human perfection can only be achieved in death and therefore not reachable at all, in that the trademark foreshadowing occurred during Aylmer's dream, in which he can not cut deep enough to remove the birthmark.\n\nOther critics read the story as a critique of 19th century positivistic science (positivism) situating the woman as nature and representing science as attempting to penetrate her/its secrets while ultimately destroying the object of its research. Still others see it as a defence of vitalism as against materialism -- that one cannot find the essence or soul in mute bodily matter.\n\nCritics: Recent criticism has focused on Hawthorne's narrative voice, treating it as a self-conscious rhetorical construction, not to be conflated with Hawthorne's own voice. Such an approach complicates the long-dominant tradition of regarding Hawthorne as a gloomy, guilt-ridden moralist.

The Lone Ranger and Tonto were riding out in the desert one night and shortly before dark, decided to make camp. They pitched their tent and laid down by the fire and went to sleep. Late into the night, Tonto woke the Lone Ranger.\n"Kemo-Sabe, what you see over us?"\nThe Lone Ranger replied, "Why Tonto, I see billions of stars."\n"What that mean to you?" asked Tonto.\n"Well, on a metaphysical level, it means that people as a whole are tiny and insignificant in comparison to the rest of the universe. Astrologically it means that Jupiter is aligned with Mars and my emotions will be running strong the next two weeks. Meteorologically it means that the sky is clear with no sign of clouds which means no rain. Chronologically, I can see by the position of the moon that it's half past three."\nThe Lone Ranger looks at Tonto and is surprised to see a frown on Tonto's face.\n"Why are you looking at me like that Tonto?" the masked one asked.\n"You dumber than buffalo shit, Kemo-Sabe. It mean that somebody stole our tent!"

Good question. \nI guess it can only be to do with the choice of local women. It is only dirty if the sheep has not mastered the use of a shower....\n\nAnyway. A bit of research has revealed the following, which should answer your question about the welsh and animals - in this case cows. Enjoy........ :-) The Welsh bit is last on the list....\n\nSOCIALISM: \nYou have two cows and you give one to your neighbour. \n \nCOMMUNISM: \nYou have two cows; the government takes both and gives you some milk. \n \nFASCISM: \nYou have two cows; the government takes both and sells you some milk. \n \nNAZISM: \nYou have two cows. The government takes both and shoots you. \n \nBUREAUCRATISM: \nYou have two cows; the government takes both, shoots one, milks the other and throws the milk away. \n \nTRADITIONAL CAPITALISM: \nYou have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income. \n \nAN AMERICAN CORPORATION: \nYou have two cows.

Great question!! I have been searching for this answer for some time.\n\nThe only results come from books that have been written after the original books, by different authors.\n\nFrom one website that seems to be the most widely accepted answer:\n\nMost folks believe that 'the red brick road' is an L. Frank Baum book convention that made it into MGM's 1939 classic film. In his books, the Land of Oz was divided into four quadrants and each was designated a particular color: Winkie Country = Yellow, Gillikin Country = Purple, Munchkin Country = Blue, and Quadling Country = Red. Glinda the Good was the ruler of the Quadlings in L. Frank Baum's Oz series. As her bubble floats away from Munchkinland in the 1939 film, it appears to be following the red brick road. Therefore, the red brick road most likely leads back to her homeland, Quadling Country.\n\nOther fans come up with their own answers, which I think is the joy of fantasy.

Some people see a man, some see a rabbit, and many of us see no identifiable features.  Some people are more imaginative than others. Some people are more practical. Guess you you are a practical one.
