- 2161: With Malice Toward None By Ste
- ... strongest limb." (p 446) My View on the Book I found this book interesting and was surprised it was not another documentary style written biography. It was actually interesting to read due to Oates’ creative writing style. And being a factual historical story I learned a little about the life style of the post-colonial period and of course, the life of Lincoln himself whom I know like a close relative now due to the deep personal as well as external imagery expressed in this biography.
- 2162: OLIVER TWIST SUMMARY
- ... make rules that apply to all on the farm except for them. They begin to treat the other animals on the farm like slaves along with other abuses of power. Orwell's entire purpose of writing the novel was to worn against the dangers of society forming a totalitarian society. He effectively creates a story that almost completely parallels the history of the Russian revolution. Although I do think this is a great book I believe it has some flaws. One of the major flaws with the writing of this book is that if the reader does not have any prior knowledge of the Russian revolution then he will surely miss most of the important aspects of the book. I do not think ... Taking this idea into account, I think he could have somehow made it possible for a person who did not know about the Russian revolution to be able to understand the main purpose of the writing. Not many people can just automatically realize that he is warning about the dangers of a totalitarian reign of power. He could have somehow made the main purpose of his great book more easily ...
- 2163: Never Lose Hope
- ... mate. Having a spouse can fill a whole in ones heart just like God filled in Tom’s. Losing that thing that fills in ones whole can create a sense of mortality or unhappiness. From personal experience, having a girlfriend or any other sense of happiness creates immortality in ones life. Immortality is obviously something Blake did not take lightly. His view of happiness, hope, and the infinite existence is something ... Blake used many symbols throughout the poem. The author stated the obvious and left it to the reader to find the not so obvious. “The Chimney Sweeper” is an excellent poem. Blake’s style of writing is non conventional but superb. This is a perfect example of why Blake’s writings are still studied today all over the world.
- 2164: Youth And Poetry
- Youth and Poetry Poetry by definition is the art of writing that shows more imagination and deep feeling that ordinary speech. Poetry is a set of sensual words with deep meaning, but for some reason young people do not appreciate it. Hugh Maclennan states, "For without ... the exercising of our imagination. In the past, poetry affected young people even if it was to a small or large degree. It was always present in some part of their lives. Young people enjoyed writing poems of love and joy. They appreciated poetry. Today we claim not to have time on our hands. We are constantly on the run trying to keep up with the fast paced world. How the ... We are told what colour hair, height, frame size, etc. a character has. When comparing the literature of the past, for example Ulysses, we can find a distinct difference in the context from today s writing. The media lets us have the easy way out by carving every single aspect of a story leaving nothing to the mind. The importance of poetry is lost to young people. Youths cannot understand ...
- 2165: William Blake
- ... his innocent years, Blake saw the world as a joyous meadow, natural and free. However as he grew with experience his naive ideology was tainted with images of war and devastation. Blake s purpose in writing these poems is to position his readers to see the world as it lies before them, unmasked and raw. He is inviting society to take a stand against the degradation of our land and our people, a timeless invitation. To do so Blake exploits the traditional poetic conventions of persona, form, language, tone and atmosphere. The persona of both Laughing Song and London is Blake himself. However he is writing in two opposing states of mind. Laughing Song comes from the Songs of Innocence, a collection of celebratory poems, offering a view of the world with the voice of joy though perhaps through rose-coloured ... Blake is critical of society, particularly the industrialists. The green woods and dimpling stream celebrated in Laughing Song have been bound and restricted by progress and onset of technology. Blake values the freedom of nature, writing at the time of the great industrial revolution. He is speaking out against the destruction of the meadows and abuse of precious natural resources, to make way for heavy industry and with that, capitalism. ...
- 2166: Wilfred Owen Poems Analysis
- ... tortuous pain and eventually die. It also firmly conveys how death is not honourable or glorious using irony. The imagery of dying of chlorine gas poisoning contributes to the realism, which produces it being more personal. "And watch the white eyes writhing in his face," bring a sickly revolting image to mind. This poem is very saddening once fully explores and read carefully aloud. It is basically describing a painful, but ... who would glorify war. In this poem you can sense Owen's argument that serving and dying for you country is not honourable and glory, but it is painful and horrifying. His main point of writing this poem must have been that war should be taken seriously and not passed off as a child's play. Dulce Est Decorum Et is a piece of poetry, which is meant to show the ...

- 2168: War Poetry
- ... writers to use. As Sassoon pointed out, there will always be war, and as long as there is war there will be someone to write about it. Poets express their protest or support through their writing. War poetry can also be a form of propaganda. Sassoon s was traditional propaganda opposing war; while Brook s was a positive form of propaganda. Each man had very strong opinions based on their own personal experience; neither was right or wrong. Though they are very different, each are excellent works and deserve a second look.
- 2169: 1984, The Book Vs. The Movie
- ... of the party like Goldstein. The telescreens were the primary things to maintain order on the land, and this is where "freedom is slavery" is done. It is because of these screens that everyone's personal freedom is really like slavery. The people are always being watched and hardly have any free will to do anything they desire. Many scenes in the movie capture this message, or slogan, of the Party ... final scene is when the couple, Winston and Julia, meet at the Chestnut Tree Cafe. These scenes portray that "freedom is slavery," and how corrupt the society was. The government of Oceania, where citizen's personal freedom is concealed, is bound to have some anxiety grow within the peoples. People will eventually try to rebel and go against the government and their principles. This is what Winston and Julia had. Their ... off their free will. On the other hand, the "proles" did not have to be watched. So they had the freedom to do things Party members couldn't do--have feelings for their loved ones, personal thoughts, etc. They didn't need to have telescreens in their homes. Proles were regular people like the Party members, but had better advantages in Oceania because the government didn't care that much ...
- 2170: Usage Of Elements Of Fiction I
- ... flashbacks are just a few of the elements used to create a story full of suspense and wonder. The plot of "a Rose for Emily" is of the mysterious life of Emily Greirson and her personal conflict with her southern heritage. There are two ways to go about writing the plot of a story. A chronological plot is told as the events happen one right after the other. "A Rose for Emily" is not told in this manner. Faulkner starts out with Emily's ...
