- 611: Movie: Life, Like The Great Gatsby
- ... is an excellent review on how fitzgerald preceived his life to be, in the same sense that he also was very wealthy. Gatsby, in this novel is the mistiries wealthy man that lives in the big house across the lake from Tom and Daisy Buchanann. There would always be some type of party going on at his house, but for some reason he never attended to them, he would always watch ... some odd things that Fitsgerald relates to the story as important things. These important things make you really think about what it means to the story. The Automobile in The Great Gatsby is a very big topic for the conclution of the story. What we have in The Great Gatsby is a creative manipulation of the automobile as symbol and image to accomplish a variety of ends (O'Meara, 74). O ... dies he is shock and is looking for answers to what happened. As O'Meara points out earlier, cars are a means of destruction and evil. In two cases this is true.

The other two countries are Eastasia and Eurasia. Big Brother, a fictional or real person—no one really knows—is the leader of this miserable system of Ingsoc—English Socialism, that is. No one is allowed to hold ideas different from those of the official propaganda outlet: Minitruth. To enforce these laws, Big Brother uses many means, the first and foremost of these being the Thought Police, a corps of law officers who monitor the populace through undercover agents, infinite amounts of surveillance cameras and hidden microphones, and ... the same thing. The curious thing is that in prison, he learns the true meaning of life: The Party. Whatever the Party says is right, and history isn’t relevant. History can be changed. If Big Brother says two plus two is five, than it is five. If the Party says Oceania is at war with Eurasia, then it has always been at war with Eurasia. The story ends with ...

- ... apparently entering is known as the Kali Yuga. At the end of each Kali Yuga, the universe is destroyed by fire and flood, and a new golden age begins.

As in all businesses money is the most important criteria for the big companies so they have no morale problems with making warfare into entertainment as long as it's selling. The same goes for the film industry, but at least some war films also describe the pain ... on people's behavior. Though some games are getting quite realistic in simulating certain situations, none of them include any everyday (peacetime) military life in their simulations. Then computers are mostly office tools for normal big business tasks such as personnel management, filing and correspondence. But some of the world's sharpest brains are constantly trying to make new, more sophisticated and more deadly weapons. New technology often uses computers ...

It had won a contract from the US Government's Department of Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency , or ARPA, to build a network that would survive a nuclear attack. Only four ... telematics and virtual reality. Cyberspace, as Gibson saw it, is the simultaneous experience of time, space, and the flow of multi-dimensional, pan-sensory data: All the data in the world stacked up like one big neon city, so you could cruise around and have a kind of grip on it, visually anyway, because if you didn't, it was too complicated, trying to find your way to the particular piece ... was no nuclear Armageddon.

- 617: The Jungle
- ... conditions, love is reduced to mere bestiality; the tender aspects of marriage and the raising of children are harshly overshadowed by the agonies of the economic struggle; and indeed, marriage itself becomes an economic trap. Big Business has complete control of, but no responsibility for, the well-being of the masses. Big Business ultimately, deviously, controls government and the courts for its own benefit. In order to foster its corruption of politics, Big Business needs and thrives on crime and ultimately works in alliance with the criminal world. Capitalist democracy is therefore a fraud, a contradiction in terms. There can be no true democracy in a society ...
- 618: Rodeos
- ... Im sitting behind the chutes waiting in anticipation for my turn with butterflys in my stomach and my heart wanting to jump out of my chest. The first bullrider climbs into the chute onto a big brown long horned bull thats just a snortin and blowing snot and moving around alot. The cowboy nods his head and the red and white chute gate opens with a clang. The crowd becomes silent ... I start my way up towards the chute and walk up onto a wooden plank toward chute number two where my bull stands. He looks huge in there almost filling up the chute, he's big black and has small curly bannana horns that droop almost to cover his eyes. I take a deep breath and crawl over on top of him sitting down way back on him almost by his ... fire throwing his head this way and that. Somehow I hang on for eight seconds even though it seems like eight years on top of him.

"I would hardly call your sister's wedding a big event," commented Elaine. "If I recall this is her third big event in two years." "Fourth!" Ruby called out over her shoulder on her way out the door. The days of the week seemed to fly by and before she knew it, Ruby was in ...
- 620: The Genji Monogatari
- ... squares and cubes and spheres--fractal geometry appears to describe real objects in the natural world. Mountains and clouds are fractal shapes. So fractals are probably related to reality. Somehow... "For example," Malcolm said, "a big mountain, seen from far away, has a certain rugged mountain shape. If you get closer, and examine a small peak of the big mountain, it will have the same mountain shape. In fact, you can go all the way down the scale to a tiny speck of rock, seen under a microscope--it will have the same basic fractal shape as the big mountain." (Crichton, 1990 p.170-171) This relates to the structure of Genji perfectly. When you look at one chapter, such as the Suma chapter, you find that it is dominated by the passing ...
