Orwell Critizism
Number of Words: 333 / Number of Pages: 2
... aspects of the book. I do not think Orwell took into account his audience when he wrote this book. He must have known that not everyone who would read his great work of literature would not know well the complete history of the Russian Revolution. Taking this idea into account, I think he could have somehow made it possible for a person who did not know about the Russian revolution to be able to understand the main purpose of the writing. Not many people can just automatically realize that he is warning about the dangers of a totalitarian reign of power. He could have somehow made the main purpo ...

Greek Gods

... in the workings of the mind than in the workings of the environment around them.
This was so because unlike us, the Greeks believed that they already had explanations for trivial questions such as, "Where the world came from?" "Who are we?" and "Who controls the world around us?" To them all these questions could simply be explained by looking at their own mythology. It is hard for us to really understand how deeply these beliefs were rooted into their personalities, to the Greeks if some natural phenomenon occurred it occurred because one of their gods had decide ...

... glad being left alone. She had become humanized" (219). This sounds as if her father’s death was sort of liberation for Emily. In a way it was, she could begin to date and court men of her choice and liking. Her father couldn’t chase them off any more. But then again, did she have the know-how to do this, after all those years of her father’s past actions? It also sounds as if the townspeople thought Emily was above the law because of her high-class stature. Now since the passing of her father she may be like them, a middle class working person.
Unfortunately, for Emily she became home bound. She didn’ ...

Great Gatsby
Number of Words: 692 / Number of Pages: 3
... the case in the least. The period know as the Roaring Twenties will always be remembered for its glittering lights and unbridles romances, not the crime.
The manner in which these characters found love was also very upsetting. Gatsby spent countless years obtaining his fortune for one purpose only, to win back Daisy Buchanan. The quote, "Gatsby bought that house so that Daisy would be just across the bay," demonstrates just how desperate Gatsby was to buy anything to impress his longtime love of Daisy. Affairs were commonplace in the book and in the time. Parties and having a good time easily influenc ...

Lord Of The Flies Passage Anal
Number of Words: 546 / Number of Pages: 2
... chooses not to see reality due to fear.
The use of diction is also vital to the development of the characters in Lord of the Flies. The passage opens with Ralph “smudging the sweat from his face with a dirty forearm.” This conveys to the reader an exhausted boy who is at wit’s end. The words “smudging,” “sweat,” and “dirty,” connote savagery, and they show Ralph’s animalistic characteristics coming out. He has changed from a polished, civilized boy to a dirty savage since the arrival on the island. Ralph also runs around the fire “holding up his hair” when he realizes that most of the boys have j ...

... from the start trying to coerce him into writing a script for non-union wages), shouts "Reality! Fantasy! Who needs this! What does this mean?" and the audience, in unison, shouts back, "It's us! We're here!" The moment immediately after that, when the whole cast laughs directly at the audience, pointing at them in glee, is nearly unbearable for an audience, as shown by the riot after the first performance, when the audience not only ripped the seats out of the theater, but stole the popcorn.
Pirandello also used a technique he inherited from the "Cirque de Soleil," involving a trapeze hung fro ...

... advocate sex outside marriage. Her prologue starts by boasting of her experience of men, "Experience, though noon auctoritee Were in this world, is right ynogh for me, To speke of wo that is in mariage." (Chaucer, ll. 1).
Chaucer begins his description of the wife by telling us she is somewhat deaf. By being deaf she can not hear what other say about her. He says this deafness is a pity and this sympathy from Chaucer may be because if she could hear what others might say about her then she might change her ways. He goes on and tells that she is an excellent seamstress and weaver. This implies that ...

... These including a superior education, from what
we know of "Shakespeare", this was not a possibility.(Bethell 46) We do not
