Comparison Of Brave New World
Number of Words: 624 / Number of Pages: 3
... discrimination. Racism is a less specific form of genoism, and although such discrimination is outlawed, the laws are unenforceable because in this dystopian society, as it is in BNW, one's "genetic quotient" is known from birth. The underclass people of this world are limited but aware of their social status and they are not particularly happy with it. With the BNW, the lower castes seem to be (they are made to believe so) aware but they are conditioned to like their "light,...childishly simple" work. (p.204 BNW)
Another satirical message explored in both works in that of publicity. Our societ ...

Character Study Of Blance Dubo
Number of Words: 1061 / Number of Pages: 4
... if one investigates Blanche's past one can truly understand what this quotation symbolizes. Blanche left her home to join her sister, because her life was a wreck. She admits, at one point in the story, that "after the death of Allan [her husband] intimacies with strangers was all I seemed able to fill my empty heart with" (Williams 178). This “desire” is the driving force, the vehicle of her voyage. It was this desire that caused her to lose her high school teaching position, and it is this desire that brings her to the next stop of her symbolic journey, “Cemeteries,” and finally to "Elysian Fi ...

Number of Words: 1426 / Number of Pages: 6
... or was great, I think of Jackie Robinson, Louis Armstrong, and Albert Einstein. These are all people who affected the way we live and have changed our society as a whole for the better. My parents are great; my teachers are great, and my coaches are great. All of those people have a lot of influence directly over me and they are always changing me for the better. A truly great person has to make sacrifices and be very brave. Jackie Robinson was the first black person to enter the major leagues. To face the kind of racism that he faced and still perform the way he did is a feat hat I don’t think ...

... story into smaller sections which are easier to absorb than a continuous piece of writing, particularly for a child. Each spread is laid out with the text in the middle of the spread, surrounded by colourful pictures relating to the writing, small quotes and sidebars containing factual information, again relating to points in the writing.
Along the top of the opening spread is a landscape picture of a rustic village, probably Bistritz, which is mentioned in the text as where Jonathan Harker, the subject and author of the diary, stays for the night. It is a colourful picture, which attracts the read ...

... Raymond, and the mysterious Radley family represented
this group. The third class of Ma ycomb County were the " white trash".
The Ewells, who lived at the dump, and relied on welfare for survival, were
members of this group. It is important to note that the difference between
the second and third class was not a financial one. Both w ere "poor". The

Cunninghams, unlike the Ewells, refused to accept charity and paid back
their debts with what little they had. The Cunninghams were also different
from the Ewells because they didn't ...

Interview With The Vampire
Number of Words: 354 / Number of Pages: 2
... to express humanity, the whole plot was some kind of an irony. Something like a metaphor, though she exaggerated everything to make it poignant enough.
Not only were the characters a success, the time and place details were incredible. The costumes, ways of manner, history and every background changes as the years passed, and she made the backgrounds so realistic that I could almost feel everything surrounding me. Actually I think Anne Rice had done such a great job that this book should be counted as literature.
After reading the last line of this novel, I was both stunned and fascinated, but ...

... other adulterer. She
faced society only to protect and be close to the man she still loved. The
“impulsive and passionate nature” (54), which to Hester seemed pure and
natural had to be faced under humiliation alone, without the partner of sin.
It seemed as though she was paying not only her own consequence, but that

might face his agony as well as mine!” (64). Now taking on all blame she
has given “up all her individuality. Now she would become the “general
symbol at which the preacher and moralist might point, and in ...

A Rumor Of War

... the time in trying to win the fight. I do not understand how action is only taken on selective occasions. I am sure that many innocent women and children are killed when bombs are dropped unexpectedly, I do not see how this is any different. The sole aim of this war was to kill Viet Cong. I think that it would be very difficult to distinguish between the Viet Cong and civilians, especially because many Viet Cong tried to pose as civilians, and even carried false paperwork. Caputo made many statements about how important he felt that it was to serve his country, and also how death would come befor ...

... led to the international crisis about a bizarre aquatic creature, which immediately dragged M. Aronnax into the action. Due to his expertise on the matter, the public expected Pierre to be the one to solve this mystery. M. Aronnax, under all this pressure, concluded that the animal was to be called the Narwhale. At first, the matter was taken lightly, and only expert scientists were involved. However, when this animal began to become a threat to all ships in the water, the military took the issue into its own hands. It promptly fitted a frigate, the Abraham Lincoln, to destroy the beast, and invited Pi ...
