Jim makes a habit of running away when his past catches up with him. Identify three situations in which Jim ran away because of his past. For each situation, discuss the impact on Jim's life, his friends, and his self-image.

In many ways, the novel is a series of contrasts designed to heighten the reader's awareness and draw the reader deeper into the story, and detail the intricacies of each of the story's characters. Identify at least three contrasts that are used in the novel. Describe these contrasts and determine how they impact the story's plot, as well as the reader's emotional involvement in the characters' lives. If these identified contrasts were not included in the story, what impact would their absence have on the story line, the characters' development, and the readers' involvement?
Essay Topic 3
Compare and contrast how the relationship between Jim and Jewel changes as the story progresses. Be sure to include your assessment of the couple's relationship when the two first meet, when Jewel seeks reassurance from Marlow, when Jim "abandons" Jewel (and Jewel ends up at Stein's house with Tamb' Itam), and just before Jim is killed at the end of the story. What major theme in the novel is showcased through the development of their relationship? Explain and support your answer.
