... Both the movie and the short story share these themes; they also have a multitude of other similarities, but also have just as many differences. These differences, irony and the symbolism between the two, are what I will be attempting to explore. The first apparent difference between the movie and the short story is that the short story takes place in 2081. In the story the government regulates everything, not just intelligence, but strength and beauty as well, and handicap people appropriately. The strong are forced to wear bags filled with lead balls; beautiful people are forced to wear masks so others would ...

... "The Whopee Girls," which brought the audience to hysteria, but got her expelled from school for using the word "martini." At age 19, Fannie began writing and producing TV specials, and since then has appeared in more than 500 shows and in many motion picture and stage productions, including Candid Camera, The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Love Boat, and Grease Fannie Flagg, (as she later changed her name to), was quite good at acting and comedy, but when she decided to take up writing in her late thirties, she never knew that her book would be such a success. The novel, received rave reviews, high praise and gained m ...

... of Medea’s emotions. The very fact that the nurse and chorus are female deepens Medea’s sadness, impassions her anger, and makes the crime of killing her own children all the more heinous. Medea’s state of mind in the beginning of the play is that of hopelessness and self pity. Medea is both woman and foreigner; that is to say, in terms of the audience’s prejudice and practice she is a representative of the two free born groups in Athenian society that had almost no rights at all (“Norton Anthology” 739). Euripides could not have chosen a more downtrodden role f ...

... does run out in the face of unrelenting pressure from the unimaginative despot. From the back cover of the penguin edition of : is an adventure novel, the story of a father and son, of Rashid and Haroun, and of Haroun's determination to rescue his father and return to him his special gift. It has a mad bus driver named Butt and a water genie named Iff. It has a floating gardener and a pair of fishes with mouths all over their bodies. It has the wonderful city of Gup (where it is always light) and the terrible land of Chup (where it is always dark). And, perhaps most important, it has P2C2E. Processes Too Compl ...

... Muncie, they, too, would be black. Although the boys looked white, and their father who passed for Italian had married a white woman from Muncie, their grandmother was a black woman from Kentucky now settled in Muncie with only the barest means of subsistence. The boys first stayed with relatives who could not afford to keep them and eventually were raised by a black woman, Miss Dora, who had no kinship relation with them, but believed they deserved a chance. Greg Williams was singled out by his family and his father to excel, to leave Muncie, and to make his fortune through his brains and academic prowess. Thi ...

... in fiction. Which inevitably portray his deeper feelings of life. Popes' efforts here are of outstanding quality. However, his poem did fail to convince Arabella to résumé her engagement to Lord Petre. Most of Pope's efforts here were written with time. Now, Keats has romantically serenaded his reader with descriptive lust and desire, which can be compared with popes' efforts by the difference in eighteenth century literature and romantic poems, their descriptive natures and ideas they portray to the reader through their writing. Pope has written an eighteenth-century poem which he calls, "An Hero- Co ...

... audiences of all sorts. The version of the play chosen as the copy text for this edition was the second issue of the first edition, printed in 1677. The first comparison text was an issue of the second edition that was printed in 1697. The second comparison text was a 1915 volume edited by Montague Summers. Summers’ text was chosen because it is based primarily upon a 1724 collection of Behn’s dramatic pieces--a collection that, according to Summers, is “by far the best and most reliable edition of the collected theater.� Most of the changes documented in the textual notes stem from substanti ...

... and greed for whatever a greedy person might want. While not everyone is greedy, some people are very much so. The very greedy people make life difficult for the rest of us. This is not such a big problem in democracies, which are constructed to balance any action with the ideas of many groups and rights. In a dictatorship, like the Soviet Union, a person like Stalin can determine every key aspect of most individuals’ lives. The more violent a Stalin is, the more power a Stalin has; and the farther from Utopia are the lives of the common people. Napoleon’s ideas and actions in Animal Farm were simila ...

... for his deeds through the poems and songs written about them. Beowulf was a flawed hero and showed it in many different ways with the way he acted and things he said. If you look beneath the surface of Beowulf to his character you will see that he only stood for himself and himself alone. The first, and one of the biggest problems that Beowulf shows is boastfulness, even for a Viking. One example to show how boastful Beowulf was, is when he talked about the swimming contest with Brecca. It all started after Beowulf and his men arrived at the Meadhall, in the process of trying to get permission to fight Gr ...

... he knows is right. Mary Warren, John Proctor’s servant, is a girl who is faced with much inner moral turmoil. At the outset of the play she is perceived to be a very shy girl who will never speak her mind, as shown when Proctor sends her home and she responds with "I'm just going home" (Miller, 21). As the play continues and as Abigail, the antagonist, influences her, Mary begins to break this self-induced mold. Mary Warren, along with many other girls, gets caught up in all the attention and power of initiating and adamantly continuing these "Witch Trials". Finally, John Proctor, the rationalist farmer, shows M ...
