Happiness In Brave New
.... happiness surfaces in both Lenina and Bernard’s actions. Huxley states this coldly during Lenina’s trip home with Henry Foster, “‘What a hideous color khaki is,’ remarked Lenina, voicing the hypnopædic prejudices of her caste” (62). Khaki is a color worn by lower castes in the society and the higher castes are taught not to associate with them. Bernard’s hypnopædic lessons did not work as well as most. He sees everything in this artificially manufactured society as dismal, and does not act again .....

Hard Times By Dickens, Structu
.... for allegorical purposes.
Bitzer, the model student of Gradgrind's school of "facts, facts, facts" becomes the very symbol of evil in the educational system that Dickens is trying to portray, as he learns to take care for number one, himself. Reflection of this and Bitzer's informative definition of a horse, as a child in book one, occurs in book three as he speaks of the necessity of apprehending Tom Gradgrind Jr. Sissy represents what Dickens is attempting to foster a desire for in the reader, .....

Heart Of Darkness
.... is above all, to make
you see.(Conrad 1897) Knowing that Conrad was a novelist who lived in
his work, writing about the experiences were as if he were writing
about himself. "Every novel contains an element of autobiography-and
this can hardly be denied, since the creator can only explain himself
in his creations."(Kimbrough,158) The story is written as seen through
Marlow's eyes. Marlow is a follower of the sea. His voyage up the
Congo is his first experience in freshwater na .....

.... circumstances. The first lie
was told by Marlow in extraordinary circumstances. It was told because
he had a notion it would somehow be of help to Mr. Kurtz. The lie was
to allow the brick maker to think he had more influence in the company
than he actually had. This lie would help Kurtz in two ways. Firstly
it would help Marlow to get the rivets he needed to fix the boat, and
that would provide Kurtz with a means of communication, or a way out
of the jungle. Secondly it would .....

his experiences in the Congo. Conrad uses Marlow to reveal all the
personal thoughts and emotions that he wants to portray while Marlow
goes on this "voyage of a lifetime".
Marlow begins his voyage as an ordinary English sailor who is
traveling to the African Congo on a "business trip". He is an
Englishmen through and through. He's never been exposed to any
alternative form of culture, similar to the one he will encounter in
Africa, and he has no idea about the .....

C And C Huck Finn, Ethan Frome
.... was important in any relationship, and Huck, Jay, and Ethan all communicated within their relationships. The way these characters communicated had its similarities and differences. They lied sometimes to get what they wanted, and this was clearly evident with Huck Finn. Usually, Huck got himself up "stumps" and had to lie to get down from them. On one occasion while at dinner, Huck saw that he "was up a stump. (He) had to let on to get choked on a chicken bone, so as to get time to think how .....

.... his health for the
remaining years of his life. Marlow's journey into the Congo, like
Conrad's journey, was also meaningful. Marlow experienced the violent
threat of nature, the insensibility of reality, and the moral
darkness.
We have noticed that important motives in Heart of Darkness
connect the white men with the Africans. Conrad knew that the white
men who come to Africa professing to bring progress and light to
"darkest Africa" have themselves been depri .....

with anyone. His character is decided as being the “proudest, most disagreeable man in
the world, and everybody hoped that he would never come their again.” This is the same
type of attitude and pride that possesses Mr. Darcy for the remainder of the time that he
spends at Netherfield. On the other hand, Mr. Darcy acts with a certain sense of “perfect
civility”, friendliness, and attentiveness when he is at Pemberley, hi .....

How To Write An Essay
.... while you are writing, which may need mentioned in the introduction. The introduction should be at least four or five sentences, but not too long since it is just to establish your position of your subject. The first one or two sentences should be given extra thought, because they are the attention grabber and can many times determine whether or not the reader decides to keep reading or put it down. They need to state your position and give way to what the paper will be about, and also make the rea .....

Huck Finn
.... adventures that Huck and Jim have. The ugly reflection of society we see should make us question the world we live in, and only the journey down the river provides us with that chance. Throughout the book, we see the hypocrisy of society. The first character we come across with that trait is Miss Watson. Miss Watson constantly corrects Huck for his unacceptable behavior, but Huck doesn't understand why, "That is just the way with some people. They get down on a thing when they don't know nothing about .....

If describing experiences that deal with life, and how a boy overcame them are immoral and trashy, then I guess these critics who put down this book are the most perfect people in the world and have never faced any major problems in their life. Sure, not all people run away from home and float along the Mississippi River but there are many people who have problems such as: broken homes, finding friendship, being educated, and many other problems that Huck Finn experienced. Thes .....
