Fahrenheit 451 4
.... be a king that would take your things and rule you cruelly. Without their own king Scotland would just be a meaningless province that is guarded by soldiers at all times. Why should you live in constant fear when you can have freedom and live in relative peace and you don't have to worry about what you say or do about the English because they have no rule there?
The consequences for all of Wallace's actions led to the deaths of many people, but it also led to freedom. The negatives of the war were .....

Lord Of The Flies
.... of killing, and evil, in another word, the evil sector of them had been released. This event shows how evils are present for all humans, and are waiting for the right chance to be released.
Furthermore, looking at how Jack had changed it clearly states that evil is present in all. As an example, Jack had changed totally from what used to be a regular boy, into total savagery. If without landing in this topical island, I believe he would not have changed, or at least not as extreme. Therefore, .....

Fahrenheit 451 Symbolism
.... fun out in the country. You hit rabbits, sometimes you hit dogs. Go take the beetle” (64). Here Mildred tells Montag to take the car out and hit animals to relieve stress and anxiety. Schools no longer teach core subjects, only sports and ‘fun’ things. Bradbury’s society hasn’t the time, nor the desire, to actually learn or better themselves. Society is perverted. Today, the computer games, television programs, and other such entertainment possesses more attention than family .....

Lord Of The Flies- Civilizatio
.... terrible happening to him/her as a punishment. The world would have total peace. But then, how could we have peace without war? We just wouldn't know what it is. So, civilization can’t maintain maximum control over us.
Civilization does maintain control, but only to an extent. It can only partly control you. One does what he/she wants depending on his/her beliefs, values, and morals. Of course, civilization does have regulations and consequences for those who break them, and this is why it maint .....

.... later hits this . They only need understanding, to know how the wheels run. Need to know the history of the profession."(53). Montag disagrees with him and meets an old retired English Professor named Faber who helps him understand the books. "The things you're looking for, Montag, are in the world, but the only way an average chap will ever see ninety-nine per cent of them is in a book."(80). In doing this he gets wiser and learns more about famous poets and writers. This changes his out look on lif .....

Lord Of The Flies
.... up with envy, but at the same time he knew how it had ended. He had been close friends with Robert, and had been through a similar situation with Brett, so he had both compassion and understanding for Robert¹s position. The only problem was the way Robert choose to deal with his feelings. Robert also could not stand to see Brett with another man, but he displayed this much differently. Robert¹s presense bothered Jake even though they had been close friends. Robert backs out of a fishing trip to find Bret .....

He then begins reading books while his wife is sleeping. Then, everything develops .....

Lord Of The Flies - Analyzing
.... acting irresponsibly, however, he forces nothing into happening. At first, Ralph gives power to Jack; this is an example of separation of power in a democratic government. Also, even though the children in the island are not acting like they were told to do, Ralph never uses the punishment but instead he tries to talk to the children sensibly into doing the right thing. This eventually fails because Jack offers more exciting actions, but still Ralph refuses to fight Jack for the powers back. Jack, on .....

Fahrenheit51 4 8
.... to a whole new level and just done away with books completely. To Bradbury this was almost the same as what was going on around him, as he wrote in his Coda, "There is more than one way to burn a book. And the world is full of people running about with lit matches. Every minority...feels it has the will, the right, the duty to douse the kerosene, light the fuse." To Bradbury ripping a page or even a paragraph from a book was one of the worst sins imaginable.
One of the main characters in th .....

Last Days Of Socrates

While Plato is writing to prove Socrates a good or respectable person, he allows the modern reader a glimpse into Athenian culture. We see that religion is held in very high regard and failing to serve a religion is punishable by death, no matter what one’s social or political .....

Faith Vs. Temptation

Being scared and alone on his journey, Brown talking to himself says, “What if the devil himself should be at my elbow!” A few more steps and Brown now has a companion; coincidence? I think not. “The only thing a .....

Leggatt As An Independent Char
.... criminal influence on the captain. By no means are Leggatt's
decisions and actions exemplary. Murdering mutinous crew members is
hardly an acceptable practice, and avoiding justice, and one's
punishment—all of which Leggatt do—only worsen the issue. The captain
claims that in swimming to the island Koh-ring, his double had "lowered
himself into the water to take his punishment" (Conrad 193). However, as
Cedric Watts argues, this is only true because Leggatt, by escaping
justice, will f .....

Fannie Flagg Fried Green Tomat
.... Fannie Flagg, (as she later changed her name to), was quite good at acting and comedy, but when she decided to take up writing in her late thirties, she never knew that her book would be such a success. The novel, received rave reviews, high praise and gained more serious recognition by critics and the public eye overall. Being so, producer Jon Avnet turned it into a movie, starring Mary Stuart Masterson.
There is a striking resemblance between Fannie Flagg's young life as Patricia Ne .....
