- 2061: Huckleberry Finn - Influences On Huck
- ... Jim as a slave. Twain wants the reader to see the moral dilemmas Huck is going through, and what slavery ideology can do to an innocent like Huck. Huck does not consciously think about Jim’s impending freedom until Jim himself starts to get excited about the idea. The reader sees Huck’s first objection to Jim gaining his freedom on page 66, when Huck says, "Well, I can tell you it made me all over trembly and feverish, too, to hear him, because I begun to get ... having a slave only as owning the person, not actually being a slave to someone.

Because of its rich soil and abundance of rivers, which were vital to the transportation and livelihood of the day, settlers started arriving by 1788. Most of the city’s early settlers arrived by putting several weeks worth of food and their life’s possessions on flatboats, which were really nothing more than a small log cabin sitting on a modified Huck Finn-style ...

After all, they are just like regular people except they don't have a home. Their message appeals to some people's feelings of guilt for having received more than they deserve.

- A person’s gender, age, place of birth, accent, manners, etc., are the matters people take into account when describing or evaluating an individual. Birth order appears to be one of these matters as well. Birth order, as used in this paper, indicates a child’s place in the family.

- 2069: 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 ...

The mob-violence that is portrayed in that passage is one inspired by ignorance, weak wills, and alcohol.
