Summary Of All Quite On The Western Front!
... of a whirlpool is a "whirling eddy or current, as in a river or sea, causfed by irregularity in the channel or stream banks, by the meeting of two opposing currents." Paul uses this as a metaphor to describe the front because he feels trapped in the front by the two opposing currents of war that will slowly bring him to its center.
The conditions at the front are terrifying. As the narrator puts it, "It is unendurable. It is the moaning of the world, it is the martyred creation wild with anguish, filled with terror and groaning." It is very loud, also, with constant bombardments and frequent attacks. "At that mo ...

1984: The Plot
... a criticism of the time in which the author lives. Nineteen Eighty Four, a satire of totalitarian barbarism told through the eyes of Winston Smith, is no exception.
Orwell deliberately keeps the plot in 1984 simple, without any narrative twists or shocking surprises until the very end. He is very careful to present the idea that it is our society and government, not people, that are mixed up.

ivory station should stand like a beacon light, offering a better way of life
to the natives. He was considered to be a "universal genius": he was an orator,
writer, poet, mus ...
