Tom Sawyer is a complex character that represents the journey from childhood to adulthood that we all have experienced. The character development that Tom goes through during The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is long and sometimes inconsistent due to the episodic nature of the novel, but his character traits remain along with the overall message. Throughout the story, Tom Sawyer's main characteristics/traits become apparent within the first few chapters. Tom Sawyer is mischievous, envious, and adventurous.

The speaker in James Joyce’s “Araby” has an epiphany that changes his view on the world around him. The short story is about a boy that travels to a bazaar to buy a present for a girl he has a crush on. The journey doesn’t go the way he expected it to go and he has becomes upset and frustrated.

So they started walking towards Canada. They went through Yellowstone park. Then they went up to Canyon Creek and got attacked there. It was a long journey up to Canada. They were getting sick and were dying off.

They traveled for over seven months struggling through deaths, dangers, and hardships that had them hanging on their last few strings of life. They faced things such as animals suffering from exhaustion and having to eat pretty much everything that they could find. This lasted until they reached Pierre Hole, their resting point. At prairie hole they were helped by believe it or not the “indians”. Pierre Hole was described as a “fine grassy plane among the mountains” and was where everyone nursed themselves back to health in a way. Here there was an abundance of meat that they feasted on and recouped. They got clean water and had a very social time with the “indians” learning about each other's stories and creating

Even though Tom Sawyer might be “civilized” and a socially accepted boy, Huck is a better person because he knows that slavery is wrong and he is more rational and reasonable. In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain shows this many different situations in which the uncivilized person, Huck, is actually the civilized person, and also is more of a realistic and reasonable.

Huckleberry Finn’s crisis of conscience on the raft is a major turning point for Hucks personal journey in the story. The crisis scene and the Phelps farm reinforces the meaning of his journey by adding a conclusion to it. While a reason for Huck and Jim's journey was to get to freedom, Hucks personal journey was to find a home. Yet every time it seems that Huck has found a home, society’s ridiculous flaws keep him from staying too long. For instance at the Grangerfords home, Huck was happy there but he had to leave because there was a shootout. Hucks exposure to the flaws leads him to believe that not everything about society is right. The build up of these flaws lead us to the crisis of conscience moment where he has to choose between saving Jim and condemning his eternal soul to hell or writing a letter to Mrs. Watson explaining what happened. Although the crisis scene outcome was greatly influenced by Hucks love of Jim, this scene is important because it gives him the

“In all his travels the Bishop had seen no country like this. From the flat red sea of sand rose great rock mesas... The sandy soil of the plain had a light sprinkling of junipers, and was splotched with masses of blooming rabbit brush,-- that oliver-coloured plant that grows in high waves like a tossing sea, at this season covered with a thatch of bloom, yellow as gorse, or orange like marigolds.” 94 Both women describe the land of desert with such vividness that one is not left with the idea of a barren, sandy soil but an environment that is rich with history as well as life. This life and history of the land are a part of the culture.

Again, A raft was found and there was car stolen. So, their plan was to go north to go north to Angel Island (where there raft was found) and then once they got there and dried off, they would swim down a little canal to the main lands.

The story about Larry Walters, a thirty-three year old truck driver who wished he could fly, and “The Great Balloon Chair Ride” occurred in 1982. One summer afternoon, Larry Walters decided to attach weather balloons to his ordinary old aluminum lawn chair and aviated around the Los Angeles area. Walters ascended 16,000 feet in the air with a lawn chair, seat belt, an altimeter, a compass, flashlight and extra batteries, beef jerky, a California road map, and a first aid kit. During his ascent, he dropped his glasses and the BB gun he was planning on using to pop the balloons to control his altitude, which resulted in him crash-landing and blacking out a neighborhood.

Although "Araby" is a fairly short story, author James Joyce does a remarkable job of discussing some very deep issues within it. On the surface it appears to be a story of a boy's trip to the market to get a gift for the girl he has a crush on. Yet deeper down it is about a lonely boy who makes a pilgrimage to an eastern-styled bazaar in hopes that it will somehow alleviate his miserable life. James Joyce's uses the boy in "Araby" to expose a story of isolation and lack of control. These themes of alienation and control are ultimately linked because it will be seen that the source of the boy's emotional distance is his lack of control over his life.
