- 321: Brave New World Summary
- Brave New World Summary CHAPTER 1 The novel begins by plunging you into a world you can't quite recognize: it's familiar but there's something wrong, or at least different from what you're used to.

- 322: Canterbury Tales: Who is the Narrator?
- ... word about what he himself does for a living, or where he stands socially. To find out who he is and what he does, we must look for clues in the text. We know he's not just a talker who's telling a story once, but a writer who has produced a written copy of the story, and knows it may survive to be read by others. His promise to produce a word-for-word transcript of the pilgrimage, to "reherce as ny as evere he kan Everich a word" (1), would be a difficult promise to keep if he hadn't been taking notes the whole journey and writing up the stories to be read later. Perhaps the promise to produce a perfect copy is just hyperbole. What isn't hyperbole, however, is his caution ...

- ... by his son Biff? Willy Loman was a man of 'greatness', a man who was 'way out there in the blue, riding on a smile and a shoeshine' and but was a man who 'didn't know who he was'.

- 325: Jane Eyre
- ... ponder too much at once. Women at the time had barely any rights at all, and women were not allowed prominent positions.

- 327: Analysis Of Maltese Falcon
- I don t recall if Gutman said it in the movie about the Falcon being coated by lacquer to obfuscate that it s really made of gold and jewels. I think it was implied that nothing is what they really seem to be. This is what I believe Dashiell Hammett was trying to communicate through his novel, The ... this paper I will write about why I believe what is Hammett trying to convey through his cast of characters. These characters are unlike the image and stereotype cast upon their roles. Sam Spade isn t exactly the typical (stereotypical?) main character or rather a detective character (I think for any main character.) By his looks/appearance, He [Spade] looked rather pleasantly like a blond satan (p. 3). Suggesting he ...
- 328: Great Gatsby 3
- ... place in this novel. He is not just one character among several, it is through his eyes and ears that we form our opinions of the other characters. Often, readers of this novel confuse Nick's stance towards those characters and the world he describes with those of F. Scott Fitzgerald's because the fictional world he has created closely resembles the world he himself experienced. But not every narrator is the voice of the author. Before considering the "gap" between author and narrator, we should remember how, as readers, we respond to the narrator's perspective, especially when that voice belongs to a character who, like Nick, is an active participant in the story. When we read any work of fiction, no matter how realistic or fabulous, as readers, ...
