Big Brother: Who Is He And What Does He Want
Number of Words: 756 / Number of Pages: 3
... are always being watched by Big Brother, which they are. In every room of almost every building there is a Telescreen which allows Part members to see and hear anything that goes on in the area of the telescreen. Knowing that anything they say, think or do is being seen by the "Big Brother" people will began to believe and think what they are told is the truth, if they do not, they are tortured until they do. Big Brother is used, in my opinion, to scare the people of Oceania. He is seen as a very powerful person (even if he isn't real) and people know what will happen if they disobey him. The ...

Pudd'nhead Wilson: Summary
Number of Words: 698 / Number of Pages: 3
... in this book would have to be the people of Dawson's
Landing. They judged him for what he said before even knowing him for very
long. You can't judge a person for one wrong thing that they said.
Pudd'nhead proves the rest of the town wrong when he solves a big murder
case by using one of his best abilties. The town should have never judged
him, yet instead listened to him and give him a chance. I would say the
people of Dawson's Landing would definitely qualify for the antagonist part.
Pudd'nhead Wilson comes to Dawson's Landing around 1830. He is
socializing with some people there when ...

Huck Finn The Twisting Tides O
Number of Words: 736 / Number of Pages: 3
... The reader is told that Jim is illiterate, childlike, not very bright, and extremely superstitious. However, it is important not to lose sight of who is giving this description and who it is being given to. Although Huck is not a racist child, he has been raised by extremely racist individuals who have, even if only subconsciously, planted some feelings of superiority into the roots of his mind. It is also important to remember that this description, although quite saddening, is probably accurate. Jim and the millions of other slaves in the South were not given or allowed any formal education, we ...

... grins, agree `em to death and destruction,
let `em swoller you till they vomit or bust wide open." These words remain
imprinted in the narrator's mind throughout the book, although he never
fully understands their meaning. His grandfather's words eventually serve
as catalyst for his subsequent disillusionments, the first of which occurs
directly after he graduates from high school.
At this time, the narrator is invited to give a speech at a
gathering of the town's leading white citizens. The speech he is planning
to give expresses the view that humility is the essence of progress.
Subconsciously, th ...

... will often be winking at you over Huck's head,
the way two grownups might be quietly amused at the naive things
said by a young child.

him. His friend, Tom Sawyer, has persuaded him to go along with her,

... supplied” (65). Another example is Jane’s first morning at Thornfield. A positive mood was foreshadowed when Jane described the weather as, “The chamber looked such a bright little place to me as the sun shone in between the gay blue chintz window and carpeted floor, so unlike the bare planks and strained plaster of Lowood, that my spirit rose at the view” (90). Thus, this not only foreshadowed the positive mood of Jane, but also the experience she’ll have in the near future living in Thornfield. She will soon discover her husband to be Mr. Rochester and appreciate her companies such as Mrs. Fairf ...

Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee: An Analysis
Number of Words: 692 / Number of Pages: 3
... complain
Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee is boring or text-book-like, I believe the
opposite is actually true. Generally, very little is known about this
terrible genocide and Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee is a wonderful and
interesting learning tool. Brown has written many books about the life of
the American Indian, including Creek Mary's Blood and Killdeer Mountain,
but Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee is clearly his greatest work.
Brown made sure to include songs, quotes, and portraits sprinkled
throughout the book. These are very important as they break the monotony of
page after page of text. The ...

... and Mr. Jay Gatsby was born, was the beginning of the end. When Gatsby trod his first step upon Dan Cody's boat, it was as though he was proclaiming that his old self never existed, and his new-self would flourish. This act of rejection shows not only his self-centered nature, but his blatant disregard for others. The reader is able to see, though, when Gatsby's father, Mr. Gatz, returns later, that this family is extremely odd. After Gatsby's death, upon Mr. Gatz's return, the reader can see Gatsby's father's awe and amazement at his son's wealth and possessions. This illustrates Mr. Gatz's pr ...
