... seem tranquilized by pills or shots. Atwood's Book has also been compared to other novels like it, such as Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, Burgess' A Clockwork Orange, and the most obvious, Orwell's 1984. These books have many things in common, including the perversion of science and technology as a major determinant of society's function and control. Like most dystopian novels, The Handmaid's Tale includes the oppression of society, mainly women in this example, the prevention of advancement of thought and intelligence, and an overwhelming sense of government involvement and interference. The Apocalyptic themes an ...

... nutrition and medical intervention all add to the development of the child. If the parents or caregivers are not educated in the importance of health, and medical intervention, the child may become under nourished and lack proper protection from childhood diseases. Proper growth of bones and muscle and tissue is not present. Behavior Nature: Heredity plays a strong part of an infant’s temperament. How the child reacts to certain experiences and how the child’s sensory feelings allow him to play out the situation. Behavior Nurture: The child learns soc ...

... he sees as the American Dream and finally become happy. Gatsby, as a young man, believes that he can make his dreams come true and become great. The average American believes that you can achieve anything through hard work, Gatsby believes that he does not need to work hard, but only use people. Gatsby is born James Gatz to poor parents. He always thinks that he should have been born rich and “his imagination had never really accepted them as his parents” (104). He wants to be rich or famous; he wants to be a somebody, and not the poor farm boy that he merle is. He feels that he can reinvent himse ...

... she uses conflict in ideologies between generations as her method of exposition, as seen for instance in the conflict between Esteban Trueba (a true conservative) and his grandaughter Alba. To see how Garcia and Allende treat political issues we must first examine why they chose to examine them. When Marquez wrote his first works Colombia suffered the second greatest American fratricidal war of the twentieth century, as a result of the assassination of the popular Liberal leader Jorge Eliecer Gaitan, in 1948. His novels examine in his words "… motives for that violence." The importance of politics in t ...

... Repetition is the repeating of a word to show emphasis. The author uses "Ah, Momma" to show that she feels bad that her mother did not become an artist and lets her mother down easy by telling her mother that she will follow her own dreams and stick with them. Another technique that the author uses is imagery. Imagery is a technique that helps you picture the events that are being described. "Thick long, black hair with a starched, white nurse's cap when she went on duty" makes you picture her leaving and getting ready for work. This shows how the daughter admires the way she looks but still does not ...

... minister-uncle's money majestic Paul Scofield (Judge Danforth) and his righteous empathy with the Devil-possessed children, and all of them looking as inevitable as rain. I remember those years-- they formed "" 's skeleton--but I have lost the dead weight of the fear I had then. Fear doesn't travel well; just as it can warp judgment, its absence can diminish memory's truth. What terrifies one generation is likely to bring only a puzzled smile to the next. I remember how in 1964, only twenty years after the war, Harold Clurman, the director of "Incident at Vichy," showed the cast a film of a Hitler speech, h ...

... always analyze first if it is wiser to be cautious or daring. Thoreu wrote that he wanted to "Suck the marrow out of life." I think this means making the best out of our lives. In another words we should take advantage of every minute we have, and do what we have to do. We have to get done what is supposed to get done. So that when we look back we can be satisfied at all that we have done. Because if we just lay back and leave everything for later, we will never be able to do the things that we have an urge for. Life is short, and time passes by quickly; so as every minute passes we should make the best out o ...

... purpose in writing the book was to show that the power of the mind is yet an unmatched force. Both my mother and I agree that he accomplished this very well. His use of characters also fits a pattern that has developed in his writing. Koontz uses the same two characters in many of his novels: the heroic, faithful male and the strong female. Koontz’s employment of indirect characterization is impeccable, and makes the reader feel as though they really know the characters. At the beginning, the book can seem confusing, whereas Koontz jumps back and forth from character to character. I feel that afte ...

... after their New Hampshire farm failed, and it was abroad that Frost met and was influenced by such contemporary British poets as Edward Thomas, Rupert Brooke, and Robert Graves. There are probably three things that account for 's poetry. In his poems, he uses familiar subjects, like nature, people doing everyday things and simple language to express his thought. His poems may be easy to read, but not necessarily easy to understand. Almost all of Frost's poems are hiding a secret message. He easily can say two things at the same time. For example, in "The Road Not Taken", Frost talks about being a traveler, but the ...

... about humans which help him to rule his kingdom. For example, he states, “True warfare is what happens between bands of the same species” (194). The animals in Wart’s other transformations teach him only about their societies. The most important information that the badger gives to Wart is that humans are one of the only species in the world who fight among themselves. The badger supports this statement when he says, “There are more than four thousand different sorts of them, and from all those kinds I can only think of five which are belligerent. There are the five ants, one termite that ...
