... things he needs to pay attention to with his . I think the book handles the issue of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) very well.

... in a diminished way that is less serious than of Dimmesdale and Chillingworth. Hester’s sin was a sin of desire. This sin was openly acknowledged as she wore the “A� on her chest. Although she is not justified, Hester did not commit the greatest sin of the novel. She did not deliberately commit her sin or mean to hurt others. Hester’s sin is that her passions and love were of more importance to her than the Puritan moral code. This is shown when she says to Dimmesdale, “What we did had a consecration of its own. We felt it so! We said so to each other!� Hester fully acknowledged her guilt and displayed i ...

... when they are on land. These social injustices are even more evident when Huck and Jim have to make landfall, and this provides Twain with the chance to satirize the socially correct injustices that Huck and Jim encounter on land.

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 acros ...

... in order to impress Daisy) is easily believable and is still a quite common dream today. Smaller plots, such as Tom Buchanans affair with Myrtle, are also very realistic and are a common occurrence in every day life. From here Fitzgerald deepened the story by using realism to entangle these plots. Fitzgerald then grew apon these plots by making them all have realistic outcomes (such as Gatsby's demise), rather than your typical story book endings. It is mostly thanks to Fitzgerald's descriptive, poetic style of writing that allows him to realistically portray the many plots of The Great Gatsby. Fitzgerald's r ...

... own the mines and factories, and make and carry out the laws. When fear is so deeply ingrained in a society, it can cause people to strike out in violence, or to submit and be voiceless to unjust authority. “Have no doubt it is fear in her eyes…. ‘I have nothing to tell,’ she said. ‘You have nothing to tell because you are afraid.’�(Pg. 46-47) The woman, Mrs. Mkize, is one of the many blacks who are terrified by the whites.

Huxley asks his readers to look at the role of science and literature in the future world, scared that it may be rendered useless and discarded. Unlike Bradbury, Huxley includes in his book a group of people unaffected by the changes in society, a group that still has religious beliefs and marriage, things no longer part of the changed society, to compare and contrast today's culture with his proposed futuris ...

... Jr.'s " 'My Antonia': A Frontier Drama of Time," Willa Cather's novel, My Antonia, is "defective in structure." (Bloom 51) Its structure is basically based on the narrators', which is Cather herself, point of view about when the main character, Jim Burden, remembers specific moments in an abstract pattern in his life about his Antonia.
