- ... example of this is in the character Wintergreen who intercepts mail between the generals and doctors thereby allowing him to change orders to his liking. On this subject Burgess commented in his work on contemporary fiction by saying "His approach [Hellers] is not merely satirical it is surrealistic, absurd, even lunatic, though the aim is serious enough to show . . . the monstrous egotism of the top brass" (Burgess 140).

- 307: Pride And Prejudice
- ... review, we find that many of the events do not reflect the time period. The relationship between Elizabeth and Darcy, and the Lydia-Wickham affair, are not realistic. Despite the fact that the novel is fiction, it is questionable that such events could take place. When Darcy first lays eyes on Elizabeth after she is pointed out to him by Bingley, his statement is not that of love, nor of fondness ... into the mannerisms of the nineteenth century, there are many events that I find to be unbelievable even 100 years later. The relationship between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy adds to the fantasy aspect of the fiction novel, but again we are forced to question whether these events are possible. If Elizabeth and Darcy did not fall in love, would we be left wanting them to be? Would we feel something is ...

- ... his son and the infant Thomas from the blaze. The movie is narrated by Thomas, who has become a devout believer in spirits.

Nonetheless, Thomas who was raised by his grandmother continues to worship Arnold even ... it was a decent movie. It is not a film I would normally have rented, let alone pay $7.00 to see in a theater. It is very much a dialogue movie, as was Pulp Fiction, but it lacked any of the action I crave. The comedic moments in Smoke Signals were very light and did not make me laugh, which left nothing else except plain drama. Overall, my rating of ...
