- 4381: Book Report On 1984 By George
- ... To me this was unusual because there is no 13 on a clock and it is usually considered an unlucky number. I thought it was kind of weird and different compared to what kind of world we are living in today. This is because in London the province of Oceania is where our first and main character Winston Smith lives. There are signs reminding citizens that Big Brother is always watching ... a diary. This was not illegal only because there were no laws, but it could be thought as an act punishable to the Thought Police. When Winston got home he decided to write in his new diary only not knowing what to write. He just started writing about a war movie that he saw last night not even remembering why he bought this diary. On page 12, we meet a friend ... of there and it worked. He turned on Julia saying he did not love her and he told them to kill Julia and not him. After saying this, Winston is eventually let back into the world to work and live.

- 4382: Berkley
- As man progressed through the various stages of evolution, it is assumed that at a certain point he began to ponder the world around him. Of course, these first attempts fell short of being scholarly, probably consisting of a few grunts and snorts at best. As time passed on, though, these ideas persisted and were eventually tackled by the more intellectual, so-called philosophers. Thus, excavation of "the external world" began. As the authoritarinism of the ancients gave way to the more liberal views of the modernists, two main positions concerning epistemology and the nature of the world arose. The first view was exemplified by the empiricists, who stated that all knowledge comes from the senses. In opposition, the rationalists maintained that knowledge comes purely from deduction, and that this knowledge is ...

- 4384: Ignorance and Racism in Heart Of Darkness
- ... the society in which he lives in: "us," the Europeans, and "them," the Africans. Achebe states Conrad's ignorance towards the natives by stating, "Heart of Darkness project the image of Africa as 'the other world,'
a place where man's vaunted intelligence and ferment are finally mocked by triumphant bestiality" (252). "Heart of Darkness was written, consciously or unconsciously, from a colonialistic point of view" (Singh 278). Conrad didn't ... the Heart of Darkness," "Conrad sets up Africa 'as a foil to Europe, a place of negations
in comparison with which Europe's own state of spiritual grace will be manifest.' Africa is 'the other world,'..." (281). Conrad's was not a racist but rather an ignorant who did what society expected him to do; separate the good (Europeans) and the bad (Africans).

- 4385: Eva Peron
- ... the very wealthy families who controlled Argentina. Eva would recall her childhood in her book "La Razon de MI Vida": *"I remember I was very sad for many days when I discovered that in the world there were poor people and rich people and the strange thing was that the existence of the poor did not cause me as much pain as the knowledge that at the same time there mere people who were rich". This was maybe one of the first times that Eva felt the injustice of the world, that she felt that there had something to be done for those who did not have enough to eat. In 1930 Juana Ibarguen decide to leave Los Toldos and left to Junin with all her ... and many people were not very fond of it. Eva convinced Peron to help the working class and the government did not like this at all.

This was a moment when Eva would speak for their ...
- 4386: Celebrities And Their Salaries
- ... average annual American household income is $34 076. And Steven Segal? He makes $10 million per picture. We want celebrities to be like us, and then we don't. We want them to inhabit a world of glamour, but we don't want them to be stuck up. We want to gaze at their big faces on the screen, yet it's our own narcissism we are feeding. Yet one thing ... was the only studio film nominated for best picture amid a slate of independently produced critical favorites - The English Patient, Fargo, Secrets & Lies and Shine). There is also another problem that is not exactly a new but has gotten worse in recent years, stars rewriting their lines. "When stars start pulling in these incredible $20 million salaries, it gave them a sense of entitlement," observed Hollywood writer Budd Schilberg. "They think they can do anything now-act, write, change the dialogue, whatever." Needless to say, a lot of movie stars are not the greatest writers in the world-or even very good readers-and the results of their meddling are seldom attractive. Take for example, the movie update of the classic novel Great Expectations, actor-turned-writer Ethan Hawke took is upon ...
- 4387: Emily Dickinson
- Emily Dickinson was raised in a traditional New England home in the mid 1800's. Her father along with the rest of the family had become Christians and she alone decided to rebel against hat and reject the Church. She like many of her contemporaries had rejected the traditional views in life and adopted the new transcendental outlook. Massachusetts, the state where Emily was born and raised in, before the transcendental period was the epicenter of religious practice. Founded by the puritans, the feeling of the avenging had never left the people. After all of the "Great Awakenings" and religious revivals the people of New England began to question the old ways. What used to be the focal point of all lives was now under speculation and often doubted. People began to search for new meanings in life. People ...
- 4388: The Island Of Dr. Moreau
- ... of the evolutionary processes. This brings me to one of Wells most important ideas that he wanted to tell his readers. That was the idea of vivisection or cloning of humans and animals. In todays world we are trying to control evolution by furthering our studies into cloning. He was right about his expectations of future societies and his ideas about how scientific advancements would affect our world. It was different because when this book was published it got horrific reviews for being too outlandish with its views on society. I think that if the book was published today it would be raved ... in 1896. This change has been so dramatic that Barnes and Noble would have had to take the book off the science-fiction shelves and onto the non-fiction shelves. It has created a whole new atmosphere in which to read this book one in such Wells predicted by writing this book. Wells would be disappointed at our disregard of his warning. Another important theme that Wells tried to convey ...

- Cooper's "Deerslayer": View of the Native Americans James Fenimore Cooper was born on September 15, 1789 in Burlington, New Jersey. He was the son of William and Elizabeth (Fenimore) Cooper, the twelfth of thirteen children (Long, p. 9). Cooper is known as one of the first great American novelists, in many ways because he ... Deerslayer is simple. It is novel which tells the events which occur in the travels of a frontiersman. His name is Natty, and he is a young man at only twenty years old. Coming from New York of the eighteenth century, he is unprepared in many ways for what he encounters in the frontier. But he survives, escapes, and learns many things over the course of his adventures. The two characters ... two show Cooper's feelings about morality as it relates to the American Indians. As Long states, "The voices of the two men calling to one another at the beginning introduces the idea of a world that has lost its coherence, is already reduced to disjunction and fragmentation. Natty and Hurry search for a point of contact yet move in different directions" (p. 122). Cooper's descriptions of Natty and ...

The band were determined to give their followers value for money, and the combination of new material and otherwise unavailable re-mixes off the singles which made up the album was clearly appreciated by the thousands who bought it.

Because of touring in Australia, Holland, Germany, Italy and America and re-mixing artists as diverse as Jesus Jones, Front 242 and The Art of Noise, Liam had been exposed to a lot of new influences, and he wanted to reflect that in his future work. As he put it, "I realized that the band had to progress and evolve, that I had to get back to the music and ... shot to Number 8. The single's progress was no doubt helped by the most ambitious video that the band had made so far. The One Love video was completely computer generated, made using brand new technology from the States, and put together over a demanding six weeks. The result was fantastic, and a definite advance for the band. No Good (Start the Dance) was released on May 16th 1994, ...
