- 15431: The Fountain Head: Individualism
- The Fountain Head: Individualism Individualism, the only element which makes a person's character unique. In the Fountain Head, a character binds true to this belief and goes by the name of Howard Roark. This young architect who had his own viewpoint of the world and how he envisioned it, was condemned by the media and the public by doing so. Roark's lifestyle completely perpendiculates the mundane lifestyle that the average citizen lives. Roark conforms to only what he considers valid in his own conscience. The novel opens the door to lead the way against the oppression of conformity. The environment which Howard was placed into didn't help in his situation to freely express his thoughts on certain subjects. This was mainly made possible by the people who he had come in contact through out the years. Many examples of this ...

- 15433: A Review of The Old Man and The Sea
- A Review of The Old Man and The Sea I decided to read this book for two reasons. My friends have read this book in the past and said it wasn't too bad. Second, it is one heck of a short book.

- 15434: Krutch's "Killing for Sport"
- Krutch's "Killing for Sport" "Killing for Sport" by Joseph Wood Krutch is an opinionated work on the subject of hunting for sport. He uses rational appeals to press the point of the sportsman as having less to gain out of the killing than the liar, the thief, or the murderer. Joseph's primary aim is to persuade the reader to his view on killing for sport. He uses the evaluation mode to reason out the logic behind his argument. The writer persuades the reader to the side of the anti-sport hunter by stating, "killing for killing's sake is a terrifying phenomenon." Krutch uses rational comparisons to assert his point, "Most wicked deeds are done because the doer proposes some good for himself". There is emotional persuasion used when the writer ...
- 15435: Hololiterature: a Holographic Interpretation of the Scarlet Letter
- ... For example, the brain is similar to a computer. They both have memory, input/output, and similar structures-transistors to synapses.) This technique works with literature and a deeper understanding a grasp of a book's meaning becomes possible. The Scarlet Letter can be viewed through an understanding of the operation and production of holograms. First, an understanding of the holographic process is needed before any comparisons are possible. First and ... the photographic plate. After development the hologram is viewed with light from the same laser at the same angle as when it was exposed and Presto! You have read a rudimentary description of a hologram's function but how could a book compare.....? By drawing parallels between components of the story and those of holography and seeing how they correlate. Major components of each system should relate; starting with the most ... all that effects a person. Some characters are already developed (in the photographic sense)-their character records no additional patterns. Chillingworth is static; he has one goal and affects those around him, yet they don't change him at all. Humans see in three dimensions due to their binocular vision. It's a process similar to triangulation. If you observe an object from a certain position and determine the angle ...
- 15436: Of Mice and Men: Lennie and George
- Of Mice and Men: Lennie and George Lennie and George, migratory workers in the California fields, cherish the dream of having a little farm of their own where as Lennie's refrain has it, they can "Live of the fatta o' the land."

A place where he ... men seek a status in society, they feel as though they need to belong, and their dream of having a farm gives them that feeling that someday their satisfaction will come. Unfortunately our dreams don't always coincide with reality. George and Lennie are two incongruent characters, where one is small, alert, and clever; the other huge, and powerful, however, bears the mind of a child. They compliment eachother in many ... but as George speaks, and his character becomes plain, you know that life would be totally meaningless and empty, for him without Lennie to take care of. Also he has his emotional compensation in Lennie's pathetic and dog-like devotion to him. Lennie is George's doom, which he accepts in part because he knows that Lennie cannot live without him and in part because of love- even Lennie' ...

I will go into more detail about the plot in the "Documentation" section. Michener's Hawaii is a superb example of a great work of literature.

Many other stylistic devices are employed; most of them fall into the category of figurative language, ( ...
