Now he is forced to face his own generation, one completely unlike his father's generation. Finally, the novel seems to end similarly to the way it began. In the last two stories, "Big Two- Hearted River Part I" and "Big Two-Hearted River Part II," we are embraced by the same character, Nick, who appears to be as disconcerted as ever.

In France during 1585, members of the king's court liked to send romantic or gossip messages to each other and ... a time instead of letter by letter. For example ab = fh, th = sq. To simplify the huge keys it would require, the key was broken into a table and a key, the table was fairly big but the key was small enough to be memorized, and the table was useless without the key. This cipher wasn't totally safe but no totally sure method to break it was developed before early ... sure each signature can be used only once. That is, once Bob has Jack s signature at the end of the message, he can't send a message to Tom that says: "You're a BIG wuss, signed Jack" and then paste the signature he just got from Jack at the end, because Tom will be able to see that there is a time difference in the signature's data ...

In one of the few places where the wildness of the west could be preserved, the wolf's absence leaves a big hole. In a world filled with skyscrapers, subdivisions, and superhighways, human beings yearn for the wolf's untamable majesty. In 1995, it is obvious that the hatred and fear which fueled the elimination of the ... enclosure with her eight pups. The pups are healthy, and have been vaccinated against about everything a canine can get. It is hoped that by fall (when they will likely be released), they will be big enough to fight off the coyotes.

- ... music adored and played by garage bands of the mid-sixties. Many of these garage bands were started by kids in their teens who hardly knew how to play simple chords on a guitar or bang away at drums or cymbals in their own garages.

- 419: For Information on the Medical Uses of Marijuana
- ... but that it may be both chemo-preventive and therapeutic and generally beneficial to health. What this shows us most clearly, in light of the consensus to the contrary, is the enormous power of a Big Lie.

Through sheer repetition and consistent suppression of contrary information, they ... scientific facts fail to topple. The truth is no stronger than the ability of true information to surpass the public distribution of false and misleading information.

The closest we come today to a "Big Brother" is the mob. The people are also controlled by watchful security cameras and subliminal messages. However, something in life today is very different from that of 1984, it is the people. In the words of the famous lyricist, "Power to the People." In analyzing "Big Brother," there are similarities between it and the mob. The Mafia is a crime family that can see everything, there is no going against the mob or else someone is going to die. The Mafia is so widespread that it has operatives all over keeping an eye out for cops or law enforcement, this is the Mafia's "telescreens" (Orwell 6). Another startling similarity between the mob and "Big Brother" is the Mafia's strange way of making someone disappear or "vaporize" (Orwell ). Almost unknowingly a person's identity can be changed, altered, or deleted. activities or possibly every day activities. Too much ...
