- 9262: Brave New World
- ... certain things for the purpose of increased consumption. Today, there are certain things that hypnotize us like commercials and billboards. More strongly there are hypnotist who hypnotize people in order to find out about someone’s past and also to tried to cure their bad habits and phobias.

Today, mothers and fathers affect their children so greatly that the thoughts of there not being mothers or fathers are just so far-fetched. People today wouldn’t conform to that, because they are proud of having children and continuing certain traditions and family names. The next example of fantasy is the Bokanovsky Process. In the book they would have one egg that split into 96 eggs over a certain time which produced 96 identical twins.

- ... clothes, and through Daisy. He owns a large portion of finances due to some mysterious source of wealth, and he uses this mystery source to buy his house, his clothes,and Daisy, for awhile. Gatsby's house, as Fitzgerald describes it, is "a factual imitation of some Hotel de Ville in Normandy, with a tower on one side, spanking new under a thin beard of raw ivy, and a marble swimming pool and more than forty acres of lawn and garden" (9). This house is an immaculate symbol of Gatsby's incalculable income. It has its own entrance gate, and is big enough to hold hundreds of people at a time. His careless use for money to impress others is portrayed through his clothes. The shirts ... because I've never seen such beautiful shirts before" (98). It seems silly to cry over simple shirts, but they symbolize an American Dream which people desire.

Fitzgerald wisely shows how Gatsby uses his riches to buy Daisy. In the story, we ...

With it they won that battle and many others. Wallace’s people also looked up to him in every way. He was like a role model to them. Everything he did was just fine for the people. Wallace had co-leaders, kind of, too. Hamish and Stephan would help William out a lot. Scotsmen also looked up to them too. Those three helped make it all happen. There weren’t much use of nice homes back in the Middle ages. The very wealthy had houses like an average one today and some very wealthy people had the same size house but much nicer on ...
- 9266: Frankenstein - Rejection By Society
- Many lessons are embedded into Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (Bantam Books 1991), including how society acts towards the different. The monster fell victim to the system commonly used to characterize a person by only his or her outer appearance. Whether people like it or not, society summarizes a person's characteristics by his or her physical appearance. Society has set an unbreakable code individuals must follow to be accepted. Those who don't follow the "standard" are hated by the crowd and banned for the reason of being different. When the monster ventured into a town he "had hardly placed [his] foot within the door before the ...
- 9267: Film and Book Review of I Know What You Did Last Summer
- ... two, most of them minor changes, but there were three major changes. In the book, it was a ten-year-old boy who was killed. The boy was riding his bike home from his friend’s house around 11 o’clock at night because the boy had gotten into a fight with his friend. Ray (the guy who was driving the car) had become distracted and did not see the boy and hit him. After a little convincing they all agreed to a pact not to tell anyone and threw the boy’s body over the cliff and into the water below. No one saw them do this. In the movie, it was a man named David Egan who was killed. Another man killed David and his body was thrown over the edge of the cliff. It just so happened that the four teenagers, Julie, Ray, Helen, and Barry, where driving by at the time. David’s body hit the hood of the car while Barry was distracting everyone in the car. They all believed that they hit David as he was walking across the road and decided to through his ...
- 9268: Shooting An Elephant: Inner Conflict
- ... Moulmein in Lower Burma, George Orwell "had in mind that imperialism was an evil thing." He struggled for the realization of which side he was for. The mature Orwell would have surely known how Voltaire's dictum went, that "when one man is imprisoned unjustly, the only place for a just man is prison." But Orwell's own thoughts went much further than that: "he was not talking about the personal guilt or innocence of the imprisoned and downtrodded Burmese, but of their needless suffering under a system of despotism and alien rule." Stealthily, Orwell was much against British Colonialism and was for the Burmese. In his story "Shooting an Elephant", George Orwell's inner conflict displays the accuracy of the hatred between both the Burmese and the British. In "Shooting an Elephant", Orwell experiences an inner conflict in numerous ways. By the time Orwell had approached the ...
- 9269: Othello
- Othello isn’t a play about racism as much as it is a play about jealosy, conflicting values, and the power of suggestion. Some racism is displayed within the play, but that is simply a reflection of how ... of Othello, and was not displayed by hate. Jealosy and the power of suggestion also played a contributing role in the deaths of Othello and Desdemona, and the pre-meditated plot to kill Cassio. Iago’s lies led Othello to believe his wife Desdemona had been cheating with Cassio, and Othello’s jealosy led him to plot Cassio’s murder, and kill his own wife. The conflicting values of Othello and Iago were a major cause of Iago’s lies. Iago had valued a job that ...
- 9270: To Kill A Mockingbird: Character Analysis of Jem
- To Kill A Mockingbird: Character Analysis of Jem Throughout life people go through changes. These changes can be brought on by events in a person's life, the need to adapt, adolescence, as well as other things. In the book To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, many characters go through changes including Jem. He changes in his attitude, his beliefs ... on the same thought pattern with his younger sister, Scout. They play games with their friend Dill and get along well. But later in the book Jem begins to change. All the sudden he doesn't want to play with Scout anymore and is uninterested in the games they used to play. This is, in my opinion, because he is going through puberty and his attitude towards Scout and himself changes. He begins to think of Scout as a little kid and he feels he should be doing older, more mature things. Jem's beliefs change profoundly too. He used to believe in the court system, something he had read about and was taught about by his father, Atticus. But after the court convicts Tom Robinson of rape ...
