Criticism Of Brave New World
.... give physical as well as visual and aural delight. Spearmint gum has given way to sex hormone chewing gum. Speaking about sex, causal sex is something that everyone participates in. In fact, in you don’t your peers look down on you and think that something is wrong with you. The population eats grammes of soma, a non-hangover-producing substitute for rum, daily; they take away the blues. God has been dissolved into Ford, and his book "My Life and Work" has become the new Bible. Most shocking, c .....

In Despair About Nothing
.... life is nothing. The older waiter in the story recognizes the existence of nothing: “Some lived in it and never felt it but he knew it all was nada y pues nada y pues nada y pues nada” (202). As existentialists, men are forced to make all decisions in their lives for themselves, with nothing to believe in except for the positive result of their choices. Existentialists are plagued with dread over their potential confrontation with nothingness, an anxiety that comes with the impossibility of finding ul .....

Incorporation Of The American
.... how he maybe able to get things done. Then later in the story Tom does another thing, which shows his resemblance of this type of behavior: “‘Daisy! Daisy! Daisy!” shouted Mrs. Wilson. “I’ll say it whenever I want to! Daisy! Dai—.’ Making a short deft movement Tom Buchanan broke her nose with his open hand”(41). In this confrontation, he does not get mad at her because she is chanting his wife’s name but just to show that who is in charge and that no one is above him. Tom by being in charge gets .....

Irony Moll Flanders
.... her hard, and the traumatic effect the affair has on Moll is symbolized in her near-fatal illness. Not surprisingly, after her marriage she succumbs to incestuous fantasies:" I was never in bed with my husband but I wished myself in the arms of his brother; ... I committed adultery and incest with him every day in my desires, which, without doubt, was as effectually criminal in the nature of the guilt as if I had actually done it" . Robin dies after five years, and there is an interval consisting of two ma .....

Critique Of Joseph Conrads Hea
.... from civilization and reality. The strongest device and example of this phenomenon is the transformation of Mr. Kurtz, the director of the Inner Station. In this essay, I will explain and analyze Kurtz’s “de-humanity”, and how effective it is in achieving Conrad’s goal. This “deconstruction” of Kurtz culminates with his utterance of the phrase, “The horror! The horror!”, as he lay dying. Yet, first we must explain what Kurtz was before he stepped over th .....

Invisible Man
.... study is that Freud himself is limited and has become less than popular.(4) The use of Jung and Lacan in addition to Freud will combat this limitation. Another limitation is that Invisible Man is such a multifaceted work that it deserves analysis of all its parts.(5) However, this study will take on only a small part of the text because of the post-modern attitude valuing studies of specific parts of texts in detail. A final limitation is that psychoanalysis is a field of speculation, and, as the edi .....

Iliad As A Dictate Of The Fath
.... men…” (1, 7). In this line the name Agamemnon is not even mentioned, even though it introduces the hero for the first time. The fact that he is the son of Atreus provides enough information for the audience. Genealogy has the power to cease battle between enemies. Such is the case when Diomedes, challenged by Glaukos on the battlefield, questions him of his descent. After Glaukos has given the full story of his ancestry, Diomedes realizes that their grandfathers have been friends and proposes a truc .....

Influences On Early American L

This individualism could only thrive in a society such as the one Jefferson conceived. As society develops and the populations become concentrated interdependency grows killing off the independent spirit. As society changed from an agrarian one to production oriented society, starting in the early 1800’s, Americans became d .....

Cooper Thompsons A New Vision
.... life: homophobia and misogyny. He explains that homophobia, hatred of feminine qualities in men, and misogyny, hatred of feminine qualities in women, put pressure on them to avoid femininity, even good qualities of femininity.
Then, he argues the negative side of the "traditional view of masculinity." He claims that believing in masculinity is being tough, daring and aggressive can put great pressure on boys. Thompson explains that this false view not only creates emotional stress but also increase .....

Influence Of Traditional Ways
.... ink”(466) begins to demonstrate how outdated she is. She tells the “next generation”(466) mayor and aldermen to speak to Colonel Sartoris while little does she know that he has been dead almost ten years. Also Miss Emily is harming herself when she “refused to let them (the newer generation) fasten the metal numbers above her door and attach a mailbox to it.”(471) as she is not keeping up with the times. Faulkner makes many references to “members of the rising generation” (467) and the “newer gener .....

Images Of Light And Darkness I
.... Professors of English say that the greatest writers are those who can “hook” their readers. Those who can propel a story forward. Divide and contrast. Divide and contrast, they say. Friction produced by opposing forces creates great drama. Shakespeare is a great dramatist.
In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare opens with a prologue that basically outlines the entire play. After finishing line fourteen, the reader isn’t required to continue reading because he/she knows the outcome. Shakespeare ha .....

Inherit The Wind
.... I myself am
deeply devoted to it’s teachings. Brady and others like him fight from the
backbone of Faith. I don’t believe in the literal deciphering of the Bible, but
that it is a book of ideals that we must trust in it’s veracity. It isn’t meant to be explained!
Ironically, the thing that people are the most hungry for, meaning, is the one thing that science hasn’t been able to give them. Enter God, the means
that mankind has clung to for purpose. If there isn’t a God, does that mean

Ishmael
.... the same driving force that propells us to extinction. I believe that Quinn illustrated this idea superbly with his narrative of the aeronauts. Man
knew that he could fly but he didn’t know all the rules. And instead of leaving it be until
he did he was so sure of himself that he made his attempts blindly and came to a much
quicker end than if he hadn’t tried at all.
Toward the middle of the book my ability to accept Quinn’s ideas began to waiver. I believe this began when Quinn starting exp .....
