The Book Elements Of Style By
.... emphatic word.
White has a different view on writing. He is more into the presentation of the writing more than the mechanics. Place yourself in the background, it gives you more of the natural feeling as you write, like you are there at the time and it makes your writing so much more complete. If you vision yourself in the background then the writing is going to come more naturally. It is wise to make the sentence complete by using nouns and verbs because without both the sentence will not sound .....

Black Like Me
.... but as a black man he could be cold, starving in a rich area of town, and wouldn't be able to get food or shelter. Griffin also didn't know how to respond to white people of the time, so he would probably have to talk to black people to learn that. I also after his story was published there would probably be retaliation from hate groups. I also want to know why Griffin met with the Federal Bureau of Investigation men. By meeting with the Federal Bureau of Investigation the most they could do is tel .....

Battle Royal
.... The blind folded boxing in the story, I believe, was a representation of the blind hatred of the blacks at the time the story took place. By blind hatred I mean the ignorance of the people of the time who could hate a person for the color of their skin. The boxers in the ring wailed at each other not knowing whom they were hitting or why, just that they had to fight. This was true in the white American society of the time because they didn’t know the black people, they blindly sent blows of segregat .....

Battle Royal
.... is relegated to the position which white society determines is appropriate. The second aspect of his invisibility is his inability to see himself as an individual . He has been authored by society for so long that he is unable to determine his own identity . During the story the boy has functioned as he believes others (whites , his family ) expect him to. Individuality has been subverted by expectations and the narrator is invisible to himself.
One of the main characteristic traits of the "invisible .....

Brutus, A Tragic Hero
.... as a Senator and a close friend to Julius Caesar. Third, he was courageous because he decided to be a part of the conspiracy not for his own personal gain but for the good of Rome. Also, a tragic hero needs to have a tragic flaw. Brutus's tragic flaw is that he is naive. The conspirators needed Brutus because he was considered honorable. The conspirators led him to believe that Caesar was ambitious and wanted to be the king of Rome. As a tragic hero, Brutus was dignified, courageous, and high ranking, .....

Bartleby Essay
.... dies.
In John Updike's "A & P," Updike establishes another communication barrier against society's desire for confirmation. The three girls in the story offend the "sheep" by wearing only bathing suits in the store. The store manager, fearful of their disturbance, reminds them of where they are. He is scared that the "old and gray sheep's" conformity will be corrupted. This establishes the point that people who are different are punished for their differences.
In conclusion, Herman Melvill .....

Beloved
.... in her act of murder. She is indignant and frustrated with Paul D. confronting her: Sethe knew that the circle she was making around the room, him, the subject, would remain one. That she could never close in, pin it down for anybody who had to ask. If they didn't get it right off-- she could never explain. Because the truth was simple, not a long-drawn-out record of flowered shifts, tree cages, selfishness, ankle ropes and wells. Simple: she was squatting in the garden and when she saw them coming and .....

Bach; Brandenberg Concertos
.... (1703-1707). Here, as in later posts, his perfectionist tendencies and high expectations of other musicians – for example, the church choir – rubbed his colleagues the wrong way, and he was embroiled in a number of hot disputes during his short tenure. In 1707, at the age of 22, Bach became fed up with the lousy musical standards of Arnstadt (and the working conditions) and moved on the another organist job, this time at he St. Blasius Church in Muhlhausen (1707-1708). The same year, he married his cou .....

Book Report On The Catcher In
.... rest home, claims he will be able to leave soon and that he will go back to school next September. I found the ending to be anti-climactic, but it was still pretty humorus.
The overall book seems to be more of a confession than a story, but it provides an entertaining change. The grizzled Holden "spills his guts" to a psychoanylist, revealing an entertaining plot to an entertaining book. One of the most important "angles" in the story is that the narrator is in an awkward psychlogical state.

Brave New World
.... 632 A. F. (After Ford), universal human happiness has been achieved. Control of reproduction, genetic engineering, conditioning--especially with repetitive messages during sleep--and a perfect pleasure drug called "Soma" are the cornerstones of the new society. Religion, thinking and loneliness have been abolished. Reproduction has been removed from the womb and placed on the con-veyor belt, where reproductive workers tinker with the embryos to produce various grades of human beings, ranging from the super .....

This proves that good will all ways overcome .....

Brave New World
.... caste had their own color. Today the thought of everyone dressing alike would be absurd. People who didn’t like the colors would rebel and I think that would be mostly everyone. Today’s world is all about freedom and individuality and the whole idea of conforming people would go against what we were built on. Obviously, some of the things that happened in the book were purely fantasy.
There were also a lot of examples of satire in the book. The first example of satire is the Solidarity Service. I .....
