- 1882: Inspiration By Homer
- ... satirical style has often been the voice of reason when viewing the follies of society."The Rape of the Lock" is no exception. A two-canto version first appeared in 1712 at the request of John Caryll. It seems that "The Rape of the Lock" had its origins in an actual incident in polite society. Arabella Fermor, to whom Pope addresses his letter of introduction, had suffered the loss of a lock of hair. The perpetrator of this violation was Robert, Lord Petre, one of Arabella's suitors. Apparently Arabella took offence and a quarrel resulted between the two families. John Caryll, a relative of Lord Petre, requested Pope to write a humorous poem about the episode in the hopes that the two families would reconcile. "The Raping of the Lock" appeared to have served its ...
- 1883: Comparison Between Call Of The
- The supplemental assignment I did was the one with the two books by different authors of the same genre. The books I read were Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck and Call of the wild by Jack London. These two books are classified under the genre of drama. In Of Mice and Men there are two main characters, Lennie Small and George Milton. Lennie ... a little more complex than Call of the Wild. I enjoyed reading Jack London s works because when he tells a story he gets straight to the point in saying what he has to say. John Steinbeck gradually builds on to his stories and doesn t get to the point as soon as Jack London but tells a compelling story in his own special way. The book that was better written ...
- 1884: Catcher In The Rye
- CATCHER IN THE RYE The book, Catcher in the Rye, has been steeped in controversy since it was banned in America after its first publication. John Lennons assassin Mark Chapman, asked the former Beatle to sign a copy of the book earlier in the morning of the day he murdered Lennon. Police found the book in his possession upon apprehending ... disturbed Chapman. However, the book itself contains nothing that might have lead Chapman to act as he did. It could have been just any book that he was reading the day he decided to kill John Lennon and as a result, it was the Catcher in the Rye, a book describing a nervous breakdown, that caused the media to speculate widely about the possible connection. This gave the book even more ...

- ... utopia and expect our world to transform into it. Some of us always look for the easy way out and drugs allow us that.

- ... was a Gamma and put alcohol into his blood-surrogate" ( Huxley, p.46 ) He quickly becomes an outcast and does not get along with the opposite sex. Bernard criticizes the utopian civilization until he discovers John the Savage in the savage reservation and introduces him to society. Bernard then becomes somewhat of a celebrity and quite popular among the ladies. At that point, Bernard is always bragging about how many girls ... in Utopia. Once again, if his conditioning had been done right and his intelligence had been controlled, he would not have had a problem with his world. Finally, the third character unhappy in Utopia is John or better known as the savage. As a matter of fact, he should not even be considered as an unhappy civilian because he was not raised in the utopian civilization but in the savage reservation ...

- ... the epiphany more effective by cutting extraneous information and detail from the first part of the story. An example of this is the removal of a very colorful depiction of the children playing, where young John and Annie pretend to eat a hedgehog for dinner: But he insisted, and it had to be baked in clay. In a few seconds it was done: a pair of the fathers stockings, black ... will she make a mess of her own destiny, and a muddle of the others" (Phoenix 168). But where any other "cocksure" woman would simply view the death as another parable describing the evil of "John Barleycorn," Elizabeth instead suddenly becomes introspective. This sudden change is difficult for the reader to accept, adding to the argument that the ending is too unlikely to believe. This argument is well reasoned, but even ...
