Of Mice And Men 5
.... I want you to come right here an' hide in the brush" (15). George separates from the group and went to the area stated to Lennie if he got in trouble. The readers' perspective would think that George did Lennie a favor in shooting him to put Lennie out of misery or suffering caused by the other characters. Therefore, since he knew Curley would not give up till Lennie was dead, he took the responsibility of killing him in a tactful way. Another way Gorge could justify the shooting is when he too .....

Oliver Twist
.... from all previous misery. He also helps Oliver to ease any fears about starvation and loneliness. While at the blacking factory, Charles had a similar run-in with a theif who enticed him with money and food.
Much satire is used as a writing technique in the book mainly to emphasize some of the social injustices that poorer people of that time had to endure.
The use of personal experience and good writing technique has made Dickens into the writing legend that he is. As you can see, Dickens’ .....

On The Road - The Role Of Wome
.... Terry’s poor situation, and that she always has to live like this. Sal was just with her for the experience, and for sex.
Sal and his friends always seemed to be concerned with getting “it”. “It” was, of course, referring to sex. The men in this novel also often used
the slang “make her”, which mean to have sex with a girl. The slang, “make her”, implies that a girl is incomplete until she had a man. This is rather hypocritical of .....

Once And Future King
.... lives. In one instance, Wart is ordered to stand next to the cage of a crazy hawk who almost killed him. On the other hand, her age brought respect. The falcon was much older than the others because she had not been released once she outlived her usefulness as a huntress. Her age and attitude allowed her to maintain a powerful grip over all the birds she ruled through fear and respect.

One Flew Over Cuckoos Nest
.... I wonder about Harding and Martini. How are they doing now? Maybe I should go back and visit them.
Hesitantly, he dialed the phone.
A sexy woman's voice melted through the phone.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Hello, may I speak to Mr. Harding?" He choked a little with nervousness.
The woman's voice suddenly transformed with harshness.
"Who's that?... Ah, you must be one of his buddies," she emphasized the word "buddies" with contempt, chewing on it with relish-hatred, "You idiot, don't you know t .....

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest
.... in the psychiatric ward.
The oppression of society is a big theme in the novel. The narrator (Chief Bromden) often reflects on how the Combine is taking over. The Big Nurse is never happy unless there is complete order in her ward. She often holds group meetings, in which she belittles her patients to where they are merely rabbits, and not men. Often, when a patient would act inflammatory, she would place him in Disturbed. There was always the threat of Electro-shock therapy, and even lobotomy. T .....

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest
.... Melville's Moby Dick.
Indeed, so that the reader does not miss the allusion, Kesey has McMurphy relate that the person who gave him the shorts was "'a co-ed at Oregon State, Chief, a Literary major'" who made him the present "'because she said I was a symbol'" (69). Melville is a by no means unambiguous writer. Indeed, in Moby Dick, the white whale may be seen as a symbol of impenetrability which forms the book's focus over its "hero" Captain Ahab.
Kesey, however, appears to associate Moby Dick w .....

‘The slightest thing messy or out of kilter in any way ties her into a little white knot of tight-smiled fury’ (27)
When McMurphy enters the ward, the delicate equilibrium which the nurse has created is upset. This is because, like the nurse, McMurphy is a nat .....

One Hundred Years Of Solitude
.... the world that has condemned them. One Hundred Years of Solitude is an almost magical story where the past, present and future seem to merge into one. It tells the story of a family, rather than an individual, and how two people’s mistake results in their descendant’s downfall.
