- 1683: To Kill a Mockingbird: Scout and Maturity
- ... Scout may not have realized the connection of the gifts, she later realized they must have came from Boo. This was the start of her acceptance of Boo as a "nice" person. When Miss Maudie's house caught on fire, Boo surprised Scout. Atticus stated, "Boo Radley. You were so busy looking at the fire you didn't know it when he put the blanket around you." (Lee, p. 72) Boo came to Scouts rescue by putting a blanket around her. Scout began to think of Boo as a kind man not a monster. At the end of the novel Scout stated, "An' they chased him ‘n' never could catch him ‘cause they didn't know what he looked like, an' Atticus, when they finally saw him, why he hadn't done any of those things… Atticus he was real nice…" (Lee, p. 281) Scout finally met Boo for ...
- 1684: Comparison Between Tom And Huck
- ... they decide to think up a plan for stealing Jim back. Huck comes up with a simple, realistic approach that would safely bring Jim out of captivity, but Tom immediately rejects his plan. “But it’s too blame’ simple; there ain’t nothing to it. What’s the good of a plan that ain’t no more trouble than that? It’s as mild as goose-milk. Why, Huck, it wouldn’t make no more talk than breaking into a soap ...
- 1685: Macbeth
- Macbeth Does the statement "Fair is foul, and foul is fair" thoroughly expresses the many themes of Shakespeare's 'Macbeth'? The first time we hear the statement is very early in the play when the witches say the exact line "Fair is foul, and foul is fair" only for Macbeth himself to repeat it ... scenes later. This repetition of the lines shows me that the characters themselves believe that there are many foul events taking place. In this essay I will endeavour to prove that the above statement doesn't express 'Macbeth' thoroughly. Firstly I will show the fair Macbeth himself degrading into a foul inhuman monster. Secondly, I will compare the witches to Macbeth to demonstrate the real foulness in these characters. I will then show why I believe that there simply isn't any fairness existing in 'Macbeth'. Then I will point out that there are simply too many themes in Shakespeare's 'Macbeth' to be summed up in one line. Macbeth, in the beginning, is a ...
- 1686: One Hundred Years Of Solitude
- ... warned that the secret work with Uranium was going on in Nazi Germany. He urged that similar American research be accelerated. Roosevelt filled with fear that Nazi Germany would develop the bomb first, marked Einstein’s letter for action. Eleven days after President Roosevelt authorized the go-ahead for the Manhattan project, the Japanese, too, without American knowledge, entered the race to develop an atomic bomb. As the research for the ... Tibbet should be awarded the honor of flying the first atomic mission. General Ent formally assigned the 393rd Heavy Bombardment Squadron, based in Nebraska, to Colonel Tibbet. Its fifteen bomber crews would provide the world’s first atomic strike force capable of delivering nuclear bombs on Germany and Japan. Their training base was at Wendover, Utah and the code name this project was named “Silverplate.” Tibbet was warned to commit as ... coiled barbed wire barred the entrance to a number of hangars and workshops as well. A week before the end of their training in Nebraska, the men of 393rd had been proud that their squadron’s record was way above average. They had expected to go over seas soon, but instead the crew had been shuffled off to Wendover. There weren’t even any bombers at Wendover, just a few ...
- 1687: Charles Shults
- PEANUTS The comic strip PEANUTS has always been a favorite of mine, and most of America’s. It’s been a hit ever since the first PEANUTS comic strip was printed on October 2nd 1950 in seven U.S. daily newspapers. Charles Shultz, the inventor of this imaginative comic strip, still comes up with every PEANUTS strip for the Sunday papers. He leaped from job to job after completing his art’s program, ...
- 1688: Owen Meany As A Prophet
- ... an unusual religious significance. Owen experienced visions of future events, he had a unique type of faith in God that most do not attain, and Owen spoke endlessly to inform people about God. Throughout Owen's life he demonstrated the same characteristics as a prophet through his actions and his words. Thus one could conclude that Owen Meany is a prophet. Similar to a prophet, Owen was given precognitive powers that allowed him to see into the future. Owen's first prophecy came to him on New Years Eve 1953 during the community production of 'A Christmas Carol'. The most obvious inference concerning the play was that Owen played the part of the ghost of Christmas yet to come. In reaction to Owen's portrayal of this character, the audience's faces which were "so amused, so curious, so various-were rendered shockingly similar; each face became the model of each other's fear" (Irving 242). Owen had ...
- 1689: Frankenstien And Neuromancer
- Technology and its dangerous effects on nature and human life as perceived in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and William Gibson's Neuromancer Science fiction is the search for a definition of man and his status in the universe which will stand on our advanced but confused state of knowledge (science) 1 At first glance this topic ... breath-taking speed. The partly Gothic and partly Romantic world of Mary Shelley is quite different from the reality Gibson predicts. We could not say, however, that there are no links between the two. Shelley's work could be viewed as the apprehension of the new-born fear in regard to technical invention and Gibson's work as the divination of the consequences of technological development and sophistication. In both ...
- 1690: Kindred
- Octavia Butler’s novel Kindred is categorized as science fiction because of the existence of time travel. However, the novel does not center on the schematics of this type of journey. Instead, the novel deals with the relationships ... different times, relatively peaceful times, Dana, along with the reader, is not accustom to this amount of first hand violence. Secondly, the discrepancy between times moves the drama in the plot along, in particular, Dana’s relationship with Rufus. Once Dana learns that her purpose is to protect the life of Rufus, in order to continue her own family line, she takes on the maternal role. She teaches him the lessons ... and respect for others that have been considered the parents role: ‘Hush, Rufe.’ I put my hand on his shoulder to quiet him. Apparently I’d hit the nerve I’d aimed at. ‘I didn’t say you were trash. I said how’d you like to be called trash. I see you don’t like it. I don’t like being called nigger either.’ (61) This also illustrates how ...
