- 1463: A Modest Proposal
- Jonathan Swift: A Modest Proposal In his lengthy literary career, Jonathan Swift wrote many stories that used a broad range of voices that were used to make some compelling personal statements. For example, Swifts, A Modest Proposal, is often heralded as his best use of both sarcasm and irony. Yet taking into account the persona of Swift, as well as the period in which it ... lived. In fact it was intended to help the lower class to gain more recognition from the upper class.

Furthermore, if you look at Billy; Billy didn’t report the mutiny, and followed his heart doing what he ... will notice something in congruence, they both died. Perhaps this is to tell us that in a world of such complexity, peoples will suffer the same fate regardless of the direction of society (law), or personal conclusion (that is moral). In this one can interpret the phrase, "God bless Captain Vere" to mean, God bless this man for he was left with a fork in the road in which both ...

If all the crises of earlier stages are resolved, looking back with satisfaction of a life well led is a healthy manifestation of self. Maintaining a sense of worth and personal integrity during the final years is natural. Those who could not resolve earlier crises will look upon the prospects of old age and death with a deep sense of dread and despair. Another primary concept ... hope and will, forms of ego strength that foster sufficient security for the child to risk the potential disappointment that hope entails, and sufficient independence of spirit for children to dare to initiate willingly their personal adaptation to their inescapable realities.

- 1467: David Copperfield
- ... Copperfield in the question are all very true in their own respect. This is basically because Dickens chose to write about life and in life all these terms apply. By the time that Dickens began writing David Copperfield he was already a profound author with great popularity. I believe he wanted to portray life as best he could, he wanted to show what life was to him: and what better way than a biography closely related to Dickens himself. We could call it a 'Novel of personal memory' but we have to keep in mind the full original title: 'The Personal History, Adventures, Experience, and Observation of David Copperfield, the Younger, of Bluderstone Rookery. (Which he never meant to published on any account.) This complete title strongly suggests that this is one man's story ...
