Canterbury Tales
.... more fancily and shows off. He is a squire training to be a knight like his father. I don’t think that he is very serious about this because he enjoys the pleasures of life and not much of his training. Chaucer’s thoughts of his appearance were:
He was some twenty years of age, I guessed. In stature he was of moderate length,With wonderful agility and strength. (78-80) He stayed up mall night and partied so he did not get much sleep.
The Oxford Cleric was an odd scholar. He had a skinny ho .....

Claudius And Hamlet
.... him for most of the second scene.
It is practical concerns, Claudius argues, that have forced him to become king. There is of course the threat of Fortinbras who, thinking Denmark to be vulnerable "by our late dear brother's death" has been demanding "the surrender of those lands/Lost by his father" (I, ii, 23-24). In a gesture of contemptuous superiority, Claudius simply declares "So much for him" (I, ii, 25). That crisis is over.
The fact is Claudius is in control. He has already acknowledge .....

Candide
.... 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 .....

.... and Holden hated it. He got so pissed off when he found out that the two of them went and sat some where a little too comfortable for Holden's liking! " 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 .....

Brave New World is run by a 'World State', A world state would necessitate a single political ideology and a single point of view, which is the motto of Brave New World "Community, Identity, Stability". To achieve the first objective Community Brave New World satirises Christianity encouraging people to reach solidarity through sexual orgy in a service that mimics mass.

for Holden. Afterwards, although Holden was somewhat offended by
the actions, he did not seem to care about his dripping nose. He went
directly over to Ackley’s room, not even stopping to wipe up his nose.
He also did not seem to care about the overall fight, because he
talked of it like it meant nothing to him. “I had a little goddam tiff
with Stradlater,” he explains to Ackley. “Do you feel like playing a
little Canasta?” This quick forgetting show .....

Near the end of the war he made bad decisions and that cost him the war and he didn’t want to face the music when he would have been arrested. The Holocaust relates to “The Crucible” especially during the naming scene. This is when all of the girls accuse many people of witchcraft.
Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were two Italian immigrants accused of a murder and robbery in 1920. They wer .....

Zora Neale Hurston - Their Eye

Janie, unlike most of the blacks at that time, did not see any discrimination while she was growing up. That was the building block of her strong personality. There was some teasing in school about her living in a white folks home, but she did not pay much attention to that.
Now if I may go off the subject for a moment I would like to say how beautifully and descripti .....

His charismatic personality allows him to lead and organize their religious meetings which are held in his home as well. One can see how Tom’s faith allows him to be a social leader among the slaves. Stowe says on page 35 that,
Uncle Tom was a sort of patriarch in religious matters, in the neighborhood. Having, naturally, an organization in which morale was strongly predomi .....
