Letter To Elie Regarding The Holocaust
.... for him
because without him I'm nothing.
In reality, you could have started a revolt against the Nazis; you
outnumbered them by thousands to one. If you'd struck the Gypsy, your
father or someone else would have backed you up and would have started an
uprising. At first, some Jews were actually thinking of a revolt.
To be brief, helping your father would have been the right thing to
do. Face it, there really isn't much to lose; atleast you'd gone off with
some pride and dignity.

The Invisible Man: Summary
.... have been a traitor to his own people and urges his son to "overcome `em
with yeses, undermine `em with 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

as catalyst for his subsequent disillusionments, the first of which occurs

The Irony In "The Lottery"
.... other day.
The situation where Mrs. Hutchinson is jokingly saying to Mrs. Delacroix
"Clean forgot what day it was"(311) is ironic because something that is so
awful cannot truly be forgotten. At the end of the story when Mrs.
Hutchinson is chosen for the lottery, it is ironic that it does not upset
her that she was chosen. She is upset because of the way she is chosen.
She shows this by saying "It isn't fair, it isn't right" (316). The
situation is extremely ironic to the story.
The title of th .....

A Review Of The Jungle

most of the people are employed. Packingtown is not a pretty place. The
air is filled with a black smoke that pours all day long from the big
factories. The streets are not paved and the working conditions are
terrible. The setting is a perfect place for a man to struggle from one
problem to the next without ever finding the solace of comfort and
relaxation. The time is important to the novel because it is before any
laws on working conditions and food quality have been established. The .....

the "real world." In the "real world" these underlying principles are ever-
changing. Brought out by constantly advancing ideas, technology, and influences,
old conventions become replaced everyday. I fail to see the social beauracracy

many "types" of Hawaiians are confronted with. Michener uses mostly
specific, fictional details to support the general ideas of the islands and
their various people, that he conveys through Hawaii. I will go into more
detail about the plot in the "Documentation" section.
Michener's Hawaii is a super .....
