The museums, which are supposed to be filled with all of mankind's greatest achievements, were all in ruins. No one seemed to care. It didn't matter what had been learned in the past. The Elois had become accustomed to being high class; doing nothing; and having the Morlocks do everything. But as time went by, the tables turned and the Elois became a sort of cattle for the Morlocks. The Elois just lived like children. They had short attention spans, didn't work, and got tired easily. It seemed almost like a paradise at first, but their lifestyle was not. They lived in fear of the Morlocks, who hunted and snatched the Eloi while they were ...

- 17123: The Blue Hotel
- ... outside of the hotel could symbolize its old age and the dark and dreary atmosphere surrounding it.

The air was instantly sucked from ... at the maze of roads and the colony of people, knowing that it would be days before I saw any type of civilization again. We rode in near silence the whole way to our outfitter’s ranch. Only the hum of the engine and an occasional horn disturbed us. We were a man and a boy completely engrossed in the magnificent landscape that surrounded us. It took about three hours to ... drive, I looked up and saw a Stonehenge like structure built from the trunks of thousand-year-old pines. Hanging from the center of the structure was a weathered sign that looked like it hadn’t been attended to in years. The tattering of faded red letters told of a life of solidarity, just watching day after day go by and welcoming the occasional visitor. When we passed under it, ...

- 17127: Book Report On The Catcher In
- I found the "Catcher In The Rye" to be one of the best books I've ever read. I found it more interesting than books such as "The Crucible", "Great Gatsby", and even Ben Franklin's "Autobiography". Writer Jerome David Salinger has peiced together a great novel. In New York City, 1919, Salinger was born.

I ... few discrepancies in the novel, placing the claims of Holden against actual events in the book. Although there could be a realistic argument, I believe that this is just a form of expression of Holden's seline state, being that he is very old at the time of the story telling. Some may believe that this is just a sign that Salinger himself is the one that belongs in the ...
