We must ask ourselves what a solution to this problem could be? Why ...
- 3527: Grapes Of Wrath 8
- ... the novel did the better job in portraying the detail and scenes. It only seems right that John Steinbeck would do the better job at giving us what was his in the first place. His writing style is very interesting, and the little added chapters of thought and reflection that he put in between the regular chapters helped make the novel more meaningful. The movie was produced in 1940, and the ... that words in a book could paint a better picture than the moving pictures themselves.

However, her decision to pursue orthodox training directly challenged this pattern; and her subsequent rise to the top, with all the problems involved in negotiating a personal identity, made Dr. Jones "the nineteenth-century version of the 'difficult woman'" (Morantz-Sanchez 1995: 216). Until recently "all but invisible to historians" (Rogers 1990: 282), the world of sectarian medicine (a term without religious ...

- ... theme to "Barney", or all three at once. I don't care. There is only one concept that can even begin to argue for the side of censorship and that is morality in conjunction with personal feelings.
