Brave New World 5
.... a family clearly was not very popular at all.
The society in Huxley's Brave New World did not value having a family and a strong marriage. Family and monogamy were taught as fashions of the past. They were looked at as words of profanity. This took away the individualism of the people in the society. These people were not able to become their own person, or even do what they truly wanted to do. There wasn't even any difference from person to person, since they were produced in identical mass quantiti .....

Brave New World And Dubliners
.... of equality may have been an ironic stab at the time in which he lived. Within Dubliners, however, the attitudes toward nationality and gender of the time it was written are present, though not in any astonishing proportion. There is evidence of this in the following
quotation from “The Dead”.
-Well I’m ashamed of you, said Miss Ivors frankly. To say you write for a rag like that. I didn’t think you were a West Briton.(Joyce 188)
Though not an extremely discrimina .....

Burry My Heart At Wounded Knee
.... virtually enslaved the native people then corrupted them. The European Jews were also were also a peaceful industrious people who were herded into ghetto’s then camps in inhospitable areas.
This book is very disturbing with its factual accounts of constant lies, manipulations, and the attempted genocide of the many Native Americans tribes. This book also shows glimpses of the rich heritage that the Native American people have. A great respect for the land and the wild life, unlike the buffalo .....

Call Of The Wild
.... of Dawson.
There were many conflicts with Buck and Spitz, who was the leader of the dogs. From then on, Buck’s motivation was to survive the freezing cold weather of the arctic. Buck was very ambitious to be the leader. In some ways, I find that Buck can be satanic. To become the lead dog of the sled team, he would fight to the bloody death of the lead dog, and that was what he did later on in the book.
When I was reading, I noticed something in the writing of Jack London. Francois and Per .....

Candide 2
.... that a rational man would want to both propose this and partake in the eating of another human being. Therefore, before an analyzation can continue, one has to make the assumption that this is strictly a fictional work and Swift had no intention of pursuing his proposal any further. One of the other voices that is present throughout the entire story is that of sarcasm. In order to understand this further, a reader has to comprehend that Swift, becoming infamous after Gullivers Travels, was a member of th .....

Candide By Voltaire
.... from the desolate hopping-about of the human insect" (Adams; Pomeau p.137). Pomeau explains that Candide shows both sides of humanity; how both great and terrible events are standard in a human life. Also according to Pomeau, the whole point of the story is to debate between good and bad; for example, as Candide becomes more independent, he starts to doubt that only good comes out of life.
Pangloss is a very hopeful character in the story because he refuses to accept bad. He is also somewhat naive and .....

Candide The Satire Of An Age.
.... cosmic plan. It is Pangloss who says “it is impossible to for things to be where they are. For all is well” (30). What Pangloss is saying that a thing greater then man (God) has everything laid out, and everything “is for the best” (30). It is here that Voltaire's attack on Christianity begins. He bombasts them for believing that all the world is a stage, and that God has written the script. This idea of predestination is the antithesis of the Enlightenment period, and thus it is on .....

Canterbury Tales 3
.... the wife and the hag willingly submit to their husbands. Then in the case of the wife, she realizes her husband misuses the power when she gives it all to him. Thus, she regains her independence when her husband beats her, and she forces him into submission by making him feel guilty and sorrowful when she fakes dead. When the Wife of Bath ahs al of the power, she has the strength to give back. She makes the relationship mutual and interdependent. This case is similar to the case of the hag and the knight .....

I’ve some relics in my bale and pardons too, as full and fine, I hope, as any in England, given me by the Pope.” This is evident proof that the clergy of the Medieval Christian Church in that era were quite corrupt in their search for financial support other than from th .....

Catch 22
.... wanted to dwell on it. So Heller's novel seems inappropriate, yet at the same time necessary: it made clear the fact that the war was not all glory and honor, but was a bloody, gut-wrenching mess. Indeed, throughout the novel, men die in often gruesome ways, many times for little or no reason at all. This was Heller's condemnation of war: it is the ultimate farce, the furthest of human endeavors from necessity. In short, war is stupid. People die stupidly, from stupid causes, in stupid situations, by .....

Yossarian looked at him soberly and tried another approach. " Is Orr crazy?"
"He sure is," Doc Daneeka said.
"Can you ground him?"
"I sure can. But first he has to ask me to. That's part of the rule."
"Then why doesn't he ask you to?"
"Because he's crazy, " Doc Daneeka said. " He has to be crazy to keep flying combat missions after all the close calls he's had. Sure, I can ground him. But first he has to ask me to."
"That's all he has to do to be grounded?"
"That's all. Let him as .....

Catcher In The Rye 2

His statement’s about his sister's intelligence, which is followed by explanations of how well she listens, reveals Holden's associations of intelligence with being quiet and observant. Another example would be his tension around the nuns. Even though he enjoyed the conversation, he worried about being asked if he was Catholic. He stated they "...would have liked it better if he were .....

" Give her the time in Ed Banky's goddam car!" (43). Then it really got to Holden when Stradlater showed interest in Jane "it just drove me crazy to think of her and Stradlater parked some where" (48). He was just pissed that he wasn't the one on the double date with Jane because that was Holden's girl.
Last subject with Holden's personal life is his .....

While the young protagonists of Salinger's stories (such as Holden Caulfield) have made him a longtime favorite of high school and university audiences, establishing Salinger as "the spokesman for the goals and values for a generation of youth during the 1950's" (qtd. in Davis 317), The Catcher in the Rye has been banned continually from schools, libraries, and bookstores due to its profanity, sexual subject matter, and rejection of some traditional Am .....

As stated above, Holden wishes to accomplish an futile task, save children from growing up, and protect them from the corruption of adulthood. The following presents an example of Holden's inability to grasp the differences between reality and allusion. "Somebody written 'Fuck You' on the wall. It drove me damn dear crazy. I thought how Phoebe and all the other kids would .....
