.... is a large cast of characters associated with each place. Some are featured players--Fa Keita, Tiemoko, Maimouna, Ramatoulaye, Penda, Deune, N'Deye, Dejean, and Bakayoko. Others part of the populace. You could say that the fundamental conflict is captured in two people, Dejean (the French manager and colonialist) and Bakayoko (the soul and spirit of the strike.) In another sense, however, the main characters of the novel are the people as a collective, the places they inhabit, and the railroad.

Book Review On Grapes Of Wrath
.... or her goals, and this story of hardship is no different.
In the beginning of the book we get an early look at Steinbeck’s ideals when Muley Graves says,“…if a fella’s got somepin to eat an’ another fella’s hungry—why, the first fella ain’t got no choice.” This is something that was very true back in the past and something that most people lived by. Families could not see people starve to death when they had food to eat themselves. Although they .....

Bram Stokers Dracula
.... his coffins with holy wafers and chase him out of England back to
Castle Dracula. There they carry out an ultimate plan to destroy Dracula.

next. However, there were parts where suspense could be used in a manner
that would enhance the gravity of the plot. Nonetheless .....

Brave New World 2
.... out heroin and syringes to high school students after finals so they can relax. It just makes no sense, especially when people are dying in the novel from such a stimulant. The use of soma produces a distant people not in touch with what is going on around them, that is if they could be after the conditioning process. To a totalitarian leader that is great since the people can not rebel but to the people itself, however unbeknownst, it is disastrous because they cannot advance themselves as a society or as .....

in which Utopian woman are given all the psychological benefits of childbirth
without undergoing it) and malthusian drill (similar to today’s birth control pills).
However, modern society and Huxley’s Utopia both explore the advantages of
artificial reproduction, although Utopia has taken it to the extreme: The

Brave New Worlds Social Outcas

Though promiscuity is a normalcy in Brave New World, Bernard sees relationships as a personal thing and does not think of a woman as someone to just have. “’Talking about her as though she were a bit of meat.’ Bernard ground his teeth. ‘Have her here, have her there. Like mutton. Degrading her to so much mutton’” (45). Bernard gets angry hearing others talking so casually about sexual relations with a woman.
Bernard goes against the grain .....

Burmese Days
.... us to believe British are good looking and honest.
Orwell offers us numerous descriptions of favorable characteristics of the British, but he clearly distinguishes “bad” British from “good” British in the same way. An example of this is Orwell’s description of Ellis, a manager of another timber company in Burma. The first description of Ellis it that of a “tiny wiry-haired fellow with a pale, sharp-featured face and restless movements.” (Pg. 20) When a notice .....

Babbit Vs. The Hobbit
.... need to be “free”.
Here is where the differences start to appear. The hobbit refers to something as simple as climbing a tree as an adventure. The prominent business man thinks that spending a weekend away from his wife and family is an adventure. To set forth upon an adventure of any kind a person needs to be free again, both characters define freedom in different ways. Bilbo simply needs to be away from the influence of his friends and family to find out what he really wants for .....

It was in this boat that Sethe gave birth to Denver. “When a foot rose from the riverbed and kicked the bottom of the boat and Sethe’s behind, she knew it was done and permitted herself a short faint” (p. 84). In these two passages, water signifies bi .....
