- ... matter what the circumstances, young, old, rich, poor, white, or black; you can be here today and gone tommorrow.

- 3012: Comparing 'Casablanca' to '1984'
- ... individuals don't matter. That the events surrounding their world and time overpower those of the individual. In the world of 1984, we see the total eradication of the individual, and the loss of all personal rights.

Casablanca deals with a festive arena in the midst of war, Rick ... are torn apart by forces beyond their control, but Rick is victorious in the end, and Winston loses the battle. In summary, both 1984 and Casablanca revolve around the idea that humanity is losing its personal identity to that of the masses.

- 3014: Censorship in Public Schools
- ... English teacher I know that literature has a significant part in the education of man. I am aware that I have responsibilities to my students, for knowing "many books from many cultures", for "demonstrating a personal commitment to the search for truth through wide reading", for "respecting the unique qualities and potential of each student" and for "exhibiting the qualities of the educated man" (Jones 184). With these responsibilities, I believe ... risk project, try to align yourself with a veteran staff member", and "at the moment you suspect a problem lies down the line, call the best lawyer within your reach" (Woods 34). As for my personal opinion as a citizen and a reader, I have always been leery of censors. Censors of school library books never announce that it is their morality that has been damaged.

- ... tension (Dick 121).” This is usually the key thing that makes a Golding novel a Golding novel. Lord of the Flies, one of William Golding’s many novels, is a well written, well thought out writing that depicts the evils of human nature. William Golding the man himself is qualified enough to write about such topics because he was involved heavily in W.W.II. This caused Golding’s views on ... frame work of a Golding novel is simple and most often copied from an outside source, then reshape to fit his purpose. Finally I think Wilfrid Sheed said it best when he said “Golding’s writing is not ideally suited to a social novel - it is angular and ugly and the dialogue occasionally sounds immature.” As a matter of opinion though I would recommend Lord of the Flies to anyone.
- 3017: A Review of The Old Man and The Sea
- ... a good story and good description. Hemingway could paint the pictures in my mind. I have read other shot stories of his, back in eighth grade, but they pale in comparison to this masterpiece of writing. The story was about and old man (really?) who is a fisherman. He goes out every day to go fishing, but he has no luck for about 80 days. But one day, he goes out ... lot of character dialog throughout his stories. Hemingway doesn't really have a set climax of his story, while Grisham has a definite peak to his books. This just goes to show you how book writing styles differ through the years. I didn't find any flaws or things in the book that I had a problem believing or comprehending. You just have to read a book and take it how ...
