Brave New World 9
Number of Words: 732 / Number of Pages: 3
... the embryos. Certainly there were many things that Aldous Huxley prophesied that came true.
There were many examples of fantasy in the book, Brave New World. The first is the thought of no mothers and fathers. In the book they had no mothers or fathers and those words were considered bad. They belonged to the state and that was all they needed. Today, mothers and fathers affect their children so greatly that the thoughts of there not being mothers or fathers are just so far-fetched. People today wouldn’t conform to that, because they are proud of having children and continuing certain tra ...

Journey Of The Magi
Number of Words: 1241 / Number of Pages: 5
... the determination to avoid them in the future.” In the first stanza, this “spiritual sorrow” is apparent by the contrast Eliot uses, of the Magi’s difficult journey. In fact, the central focus of criticism has been on the journey; the “cold coming” (line 1) during “the worst time of the year” (line 2), emphasising the climatic statement of the stanza: “A hard time we had of it” (line 16). The Magus talks of their sorrowful past life of ease, the times they “regretted…the silken girls bringing sherbet” (lines 8-10), and in the same way that they are ‘physically’ moving towards Christ, they feel they are ...

Don Quixote And Le Morte D Art
Number of Words: 679 / Number of Pages: 3
... with an individual focus on one central character. Don Quixote is one story written around one character, Don Quixote. Malory’s work is filled murder, death, and violence, while in Cervantes’ piece, no one is killed, all injuries are recoverable, and all the violence is mitigated by a touch of absurdity.
But these two pieces are very similar in that they both are about multi-faceted characters who succumb to temptation, act rashly, and make bad decisions. These types of realistic characters aren’t very often seen in genuine tales of chivalry. The stories Malory used as a basis ...

... his teachers because he did not change his ways. Donny got sent to a tutor but got too much freedom and his grades dropped. In the end he got kicked out of school because he had some beer in his locker. Within a month of his expulsion he runs away from home never to return.
"Eveline" and "Teenage Wasteland" ended very similarly. Neither of the two main characters seemed to learn thing from their mistakes. Eveline planned to move away with her fiancée, but stayed behind while he sailed away to Italy, and did not gain anything. Donny ran away in the end of "Teenage Wasteland," and caused nothing bu ...

... some people died instantly while others died a
slow, agonizing, painful death. The painful death was caused by fallout,
which is a radioactive chemical used in making the bomb. The chemical is
usually radium or plutonium, and is very deadly when inhaled. The stuff is
spread everywhere when the bomb explodes, and then falls to the earth as
light dust. If a person intakes a small amount they have a chance at
living, but with severe health problems for the rest of their life. Large
amounts will eat away the insides of a human, and eventually kill him. The
related health problems could be anywh ...

Taming Of The Shrew

... the other side Bianca at first is known as a sweet and gentle person who only care about studying, but as she reach her goal, to be married her true self appears. She becomes insensitive and unkind by not coming at the call of Lucentio. In the other word she becomes almost what her sister was. By making this contrast Shakespeare developed the theme that we can not decide about people by only look at them because, what a person really is, is more important than how they look or how they seems they are.
One of the other important contrasts in this play that is help to develop theme is the contra ...

Allegory
Number of Words: 314 / Number of Pages: 2
... Other allegories include the parables
of Jesus, and The Faerie Queene, written by the English poet Edmund Spenser in
the late 1500's.
Allegories lost popularity in Europe after about 1600, but some, such as
Pilgrim's Progress (1678, 1684) gained recognition in later times. Allegory
also exists in other ways. Many novels include allegorical suggestions of an
additional level of meaning. Examples include Moby-Dick (1851), a whaling
adventure that raises issues of human struggle and fate in a mysterious universe,
and Lord of the Flies (1954), a story about shipwrecked boys that examines the

David Copperfield
Number of Words: 1222 / Number of Pages: 5
... (Which he never meant to published on any account.) This complete title strongly suggests that this is one man's story written for himself. It was also supposed to 'never have been published on any account.' Later in chap 42 this condition is repeated: 'this manuscript is intended for no eyes but mine.' Of course this is part of the fiction, after all we are reading David's story ourselves when we reach this sentence. What is about? I pose myself this question to help illustrate how much of an autobiography this book really is, the simplest answer is of course that it is about himself and his ...

H.G. Wells

... also die like his sister Fanny, being that he was a sort of "weakling" and struggled to not get sick most of the time. His father was a shopkeeper and a professional cricketer, and his mother served from time to time as a housekeeper at the nearby estate of Uppark. His father's business failed and the family never made it to middle-class status, so Wells was apprenticed like his brothers to a draper, spending the years between 1880 and 1883 inWindsor and Southsea as a drapeist. In 1883 Wells became a teacher/pupil at Midhurst Grammar Scool. He obtained a scholarship to the Normal School of Science i ...
