- 1991: Maurice Sendak
- Maurice Sendak may be the best-known children's author / illustrator in the world today. His artwork has become somewhat of an American icon; some even became the basis of an advertising campaign for Bell Atlantic. This extremely gifted genius was actually cultivating within ... library. Sendak writes the type of books he wished he had as a child; entertaining stories which are not limited by any effort to make things so simple for children that they become mundane. Sendak's greatest influence as a writer was his father. Phillip Sendak was a wonderfully creative storyteller who amazed Maurice and his brother and sister. "He didn't edit," remarks Maurice in an interview with Marion Long. "It's funny, because that's what I'm accused of now: being a storyteller who tells children inappropriate things." Sendak strongly believes that children ...
- 1992: Epitome Of Disgusting
- Epitome of Disgusting Bathrooms, I think, are the one place where sanitation should be practiced to the fullest. My brother doesn't seem to meet eye to eye on this sanitation business. He actually is the most careless, gross and just plain filthy person when it comes to bathroom care. He has this complete disregard for anyone ... when or where this behavior developed. Maybe it was when he "poo-poo"ed on the bathroom floor at age six and my mother just cleaned it up. Never said a word. Or maybe it's an Y-linked sex trait and it's inherited. I don't know, but I'm starting to think now that he does this just to piss me off. Whatever the cause may be, he needs help. Our bathroom is quite the ...
- 1993: Holdens Lonliness And His Inab
- ... age must face. He avoids reality by living a fantasy life, and every forced contact with reality drives him deeper. Holden cannot communicate effectively. On many occasions in the book we observe that Holden can't deal with pleasant situation. This is the reason for half of his problems. He does not take responsibility for his own actions. Teens his age are supposed to be responsible for their actions and conduct ... commitment towards important human relation such as parents, friends, teachers etc. He subjects every one he meets to a probing examination, and almost every one fails. This factor also significantly contributes toward his loneliness. Holden's inability to communicate and deal with people effectively is probably the largest obstruction in his path to maturity. Throughout the book we see that how hard is it for Holden to have a normal conversation. The very fragmentation of Holden's speech, his frequent of phrases like 'sort of', 'and all', and 'I mean'; shows his ineptitude in conversation. For example, after his conversation with the two nuns, he was glad that they didn't ...
- 1994: The Life of Edward Albee
- ... about four decades, critics and theater-watchers have been calling Edward Albee names. His harsh wit and language and amazing endings have won him three Pulitzer Prizes and cost him a fourth. Once off- Broadway's leading light, Albee lasted for a close to 20-year drought before capturing his most recent Pulitzer, in 1994. Albee can handle it. He thinks that the acclaim and neglect, the overpraise and underpraise, his 27 plays have earned will even out in the end — as long as he doesn't screw-up his thoughts with other peoples. "I enjoy being a playwright," he said during a recent Northeastern University visit. "Playwriting at its very best is an act of aggression against the status quo. It says, ‘This is who you are and how you behave. If you don't like it, why don't you change?'" Tall, slim, tweedy, with a patrician accent and looking a bit younger than 70, Albee would have changed his own sad past if he could. An orphan ...

- Madame Bovary: Emma's Desire To Control Her Surroundings Often, people fantasize a world in which all their goals and aspirations come true.

She creates many illusions due to her tedious life, which are dashed to pieces as ... married Charles, she expected this perfect man whom she had pictured from the many romantic novels she had read. It is these fairy-tale illusions that slowly bring the world crashing down on her. Emma’s illusion of love and grandeur came from her knowledge of romance novels. After she had married Charles, she came to the conclusion that their love was not like the ones she had read about ...

Good executes this plan and forces evil to take a step back, only to realise something about evil that good didn t know and must come up with a way to defeat evil on the spot. good defeats evil and becomes a hero who lives happily ever after.

- 1997: Nihilism
- Nihilism in Turgenov's Fathers has several characters who hold strong views of the world. Pavel believes that Russia needs structure from such things as institution, religion, and class hierarchy. Madame Odintsov views the world as simple so long ... and places him in the the normal world of chance." By examining Bazarov this essay will make this statement more clear to the reader.

Finally we examine Bazarov’s death and the stunning truths it reveals. These issues combined with the theme of nihilism will prove that chance, or fate is a strong force which cannot easily be negated. Nihilism as a concept ...
- 1998: Analysis of Clockwork Orange
- Analysis of Clockwork Orange The film, “A Clockwork Orange,” is, to me, an almost exact replica of today’s society. Basically, one kid, who seems to have come from a financially sound home and community, goes through about three stages--1. He violates the laws society has set forth to maintain order. 2. He is caught and punished for his crimes against society. 3. He feels remorse for his violence and sexually deviance (although, at the end of the film, he’s back to his old, delinquent self). The main character, Alex, is shown as a typical juvenile offender. He is shown in such a comparable manner not because all juvenile offenders are out robbing, rapping, and murdering people (although an argument could be made that today’s offenders are as bad, if not worse), but because he can do such things and feel no remorse until he is caught. His parents provide for him, but only in a financial light. What ...
- 1999: 1950’s Youth Culture
- 1950's Youth Culture Youth culture in the nineteen fifties was a time that opened up the world to be integrated for whites and blacks. In this paper the fifties are analyzed through the clothing, styles, cars ... to various members of my family I asked them if they could remember the way that the youth dressed in the nineteen- fifties. The responses were all similar. The popular man role wore tight white T- shirts which were described to me (I hate this expression)as ‘Guinea T’s.’ These are white T- shirts in which the manufacturer cut- off the sleeves. Also regular white T- shirts were worn with one sleeve rolled up with a pack of cigarettes. When I talked ...
- 2000: Utopian Societies-The Impossible Dream
- ... of government is. Hitler thought it should be totalitarian, Washington thought it should be democratic, and Stalin thought it should be communist. So who is right? Is anyone right? Under a utopian society, totalitarianism wouldn't be the best because that society would be more perfect for one person than another. Communism wouldn't be the right choice because the government would have too much control over everyone's lives and being controlled isn't ideal for many people. A democratic society wouldn't work either because you would always have people like Hitler and Stalin walking around that wouldn't agree with ...
