... This work is similar to other famous and influential works of the same nature. For example, Maxwell Geismar sums up the novel as “…an eminently readable and quotable [novel] in its tragicomic narrative of preadolescent revolt. Compact, taut, and colorful, the first half presents in brief compass all then petty horrors, the banalities, the final mediocrity of the American prep school” (Geismar 195). Holden can not understand the purgatory of Pency prep, and futilely escapes from one dark world into darker world of New York City. The second half of the novel raises the intriguing questions and incorp ...

... landfall, and this provides Twain with the chance to satirize the socially correct injustices that Huck and Jim encounter on land. The satire that Twain uses to expose the hypocrisy, racism, greed and injustice of society develops along with the adventures that Huck and Jim have. The ugly reflection of society we see should make us question the world we live in, and only the journey down the river provides us with that chance. Throughout the book we see the hypocrisy of society. The first character we come across with that trait is Miss Watson. Miss Watson constantly corrects Huck for his unacceptable behavior, but ...

... into the town square, she was greeted with unpleasant looks from all. As time wore on, this caused a great deal of mental and physical anguish. Eventually, Hester questioned why she was to live if not for her child Pearl. Pearl was a gift sent from god to remind her of her wrong doing every moment. A symbolic way to look at it is that she was a walking, talking live sermon preaching out against sin to others. With that said, Pearl’s personality was also shown very well throughout the movie. Her exuberant disposition caused the townspeople to believe she was a “mysterious little elf�. One could tell a ...

... calling my husband by his first name" (Mukherjee 537). For a person who grew up in North American society this revelation may seem to come from an oppressed female, but later on in the story we learn that protagonist could stand up for herself and for other women, like in the airport incident. There again we were reminded of the way she was brought up: "Once upon a time we were well brought up women; we were dutiful wives who kept our heads veiled, our voices shy and sweet" (543). Only this time the statement is ironic. Shaila's actions show us that she is far from the voiceless, week female she wa ...

... god of the river. Rudolfo Anaya is indicating that each man must choose his own religion and destiny, by depicting the changes Tony feels after the deaths of Lupito, Narciso and Florence. Beforehand, Tony never questioned his faith but as each person died Tony turned farther and farther away from Catholicism and eventually even away from the pagan religion. Tony questioned his destiny and effectiveness as a priest, had doubts of the Catholic God and eventually of everything he had ever believed in, as Anaya shows that one strict religion isn’t always the right way or the only way. The first step in Tony& ...

... in the movie and you could understand her more in the movie then in the book. The Time Machine starts out with the time traveler trying to explain the time machine and how it works to four other science guys. He goes on about four dimensions and how nobody thinks that there is a fourth dimension and how there is only three. He goes on describing the fourth dimension to them and then he demonstrates how the time machine works. The whole time he is demonstrating it the other four scientists don't know what to think.

... two days without “the inferior race�! He feels at ease communicating to women. He knows what they wanted to hear and he knows exactly what to say. He’s had many affairs, which appeared to be a fascinating challenging experience. As the affairs went on they grew into problems of exceptional difficulty. Dmitry would then leave the affair and move on to another. With every new affair it would erase the pain of the last affair and excite him with something new. This lasted until one day he saw a woman wearing a beret walking a white Pomeranian. He lusted after her. He would see her in a public garden and in the sq ...

... having chosen the parts for his creature, is the only one possible to blame for its appearance. Martin Tropp states that the monster is "designed to be beautiful and loving, it is loathsome and unloved" (64). Clearly it is Frankenstein's lack of foresight in the creation process to allow for a creature that Frankenstein "had selected his features as beautiful," (56) to become something which the very sight of causes its creator to say "breathless horror and disgust filled my heart"(56). He overlooks the seemingly obvious fact that ugliness is the natural result when something is made from parts of different corp ...

... a scapegoat for his own problems. Again, Merriam-Webster states propaganda as “the spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person.� First, it can be seen how Snowball uses propaganda to effectively assume leadership of Animal Farm. After the rebellion, Snowball took control and broadcast his ideas upon desprate ears. “Vote for Snowball and the three day week…� (p.34) Snowball spread propaganda that would promote Animalism by building a windmill. This windmill was to be used for luxuries that would make life better for everyone ...

... in statements like “They will say: ‘How his hair is growing thin� (41) and “They will say: ‘How his legs and arms are thin� (46). Prufrock believes that he is to old for adventure and feels that he has lost his chance for love. He expresses this by saying, I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled. Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach? I shall wear white flannel trousers and walk upon the beach. I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. I do not think they will sing to me (120-125). The mermaid being his love which might reject him if he so dares to ask the question. P ...
