- 261: 1984
- ... s commonest last name: Smith. The ailing, middle-aged rebel can be considered in many different lights. - 1. You'll have to decide for yourself whether Winston is a hero in his secret battle with Big Brother, or whether he's only a sentimental man with a death wish, who courts his death openly through an illegal love affair and through his alliance with the enemies of Big Brother. a. If Winston is a 20th-century hero, it seems logical for him to keep a diary even though he knows it will hang him. It is right for him to follow his heart and have an affair with Julia. He is doing the only possible thing by seeking out O'Brien and joining the Brotherhood, which is committed to overthrowing Big Brother. Naturally he will defy authorities even after he is captured and tortured, trying to keep one last shred of personality intact. b. If he's so heroic, why is he so foolhardy? It ...

At the age of twenty, Lucien decided to go to school at Laval in Quebec city. This would be only his second trip out of the Saguenay.

- 264: The Ironies of 1984
- ... the history books, the Ministry of Love discourages love, and the Ministry of Peace is actually quite violent. The final example of verbal Irony can be seen in the name of the leader of Oceania, "Big Brother." The concept of a big brother is one whom is older and wiser and helps the "littler siblings" -- this not the case with 1984's Big Brother. The Big Brother in this novel completely watches over every move a person makes keeping them controlled with fear. The next type of irony is Situation irony, which is when a character or ...
- 265: Becoming A Soldier
- ... we got our uniforms and equipment. They gave us three pairs of uniform and military shoes and other essential equipment like different kind of ropes, cleaning pad for the gun and more. There was a big room for all of us to change our cloths. There was no privacy there, and you had to do it quickly. We went out to a big area that was covered with wet grave. After five minutes came a tough soldier, whose uniforms were ironed and shining and he had a hat that covered his eyes, so we could not see them ... rain, and we were shaking from the cold. It was already 3pm and it seemed to me like the sun had not come out the whole day. From there our commander took us to a big parking lot full of buses. He told us that we are going to the basic training base. We went on the bus and we rode for two hours, which allowed me to rest for ...

In addition, at the end of the play the big tragedy that causes the deaths of Paris, Romeo then Juliet can be traces back to Friar Lawrence's letter sent with Friar John to be delivered to Mantua. Containing the vital information saying about the ... back to Verona and finds an Apothecary willing to give him a toxic potion. He thinks that he can alter what fate wants to happen "I defy you stars". The reason that fate plays a big role in the play has a lot to do with the time the play was written. The play was written in 1595 during the Elizabethan period when fate was strongly believed. If fate was a ... He shall not make me there a joyful bride." This change brings out the worst in Lord Capulet. Romeo seems to have a wonder at the Capulets, first Rosaline then Juliet but that is a big difference in status. Romeo is an adventurous person without someone following his every move. Because of this I think Romeo and Juliet are to be blamed for the grief and death of others yet, ...

- ... conflicting with one another. Quick access and easy programming is also another consideration that is made when considering this type of network. Intranets have just started to be implemented throughout the world and already a big change is being noticed. Companies are keeping track of all of their important information on web sites, which are restricted to users, unless they have the security code to access them. Thanks to Internet technology ... HTML, which is the World Wide Web universal language format. Converting documents into HTML format is getting easier and easier with the use of new programs that do everything for one. This is considered another big advantage of using web technology because fewer programmers are required to maintain it therefor reducing the expenses of a company. Intranets allow the programmers to make one copy of any information and run it anywhere ... allow the users to use different operating systems on different computers, on the other hand Intranets allow different types of machines and operating systems to be used on the same platform. Security is also a big factor on Intranets. Protecting information on a private network is critical. Intranets security services provide ways for resources to be protected against unauthorized users, for communications to be encrypted and authenticated, and for the ...

- 269: Going From Child To Woman The
- ... in Act I with Nora returning from Christmas shopping. Ibsen utilizes this time for dramatic purposes of the Christian holidays and to show the struggle between a middle class marriage. Nora plans on having a big holiday bash, while Torvald would rather refrain since there is a rather limited cash flow. “Nora: Oh yes, Torvald, we can squander a little now…piles of money” (1506). Torvald follows up with, “But then ... the raise comes through” (, 1506). Nora at this point in the play is nothing more than a child, careless in her action and not thinking ahead of possible consequences. Nora sees nothing wrong in spending big on Christmas. Granted this is a righteous cause, since the holidays are about giving to others, but still a parent should know the limit of happiness they should bring. At this point Torvald begins to ... Nora questions Torvald’s authority on the subject and he becomes outraged, acting like a typical 19th century male. “Nora: Because these are such….” (1528) By doing this she has seriously undermined her husband, a big social taboo. He immediately snaps back with a sarcastic; “There, now little Miss. Willful” (1528) The sarcasm of Torvald rips off the page. Later we see how desperate Nora is. “Nora: And what if ...
- 270: 1984: Satire of the Middle Class
- ... mats." Just from these few lines Orwell makes it clear that there was absolutely nothing victorious abuot Victory Mansions. Every image the reader recieves from Winston Smith is pessimistic. Hate week, for example, is a big event in Oceania. The citizens prepare for it like Christmas. Instead of jolly songs with family and friends over punch, Hate week is celebrated with fists in the air while chanting about death, Goldstien, and whatever the party wanted the citizens to disgust. Winston hates the party and Big Brother. He hates the "pure" ones, also. Everthing about Winston's life drives him closer and closer to a suicidal point each day. What makes things worse, hte Party makes Winston think that he is ... remember. These simple things are taken for granted today. George Orwell devilishly illustrates the brutality that man can be capabel of when he is given such power. The people of Oceania are forced to love Big Brother. There is possibly no one that loves Bill Clinton, besides his family. there are several that love to makes fun of him, but on the political mainstream love is not involved as it ...
