Upton Sinclairs Book The Jungl
Words: 572 / Pages: 3 .... safe and to get good quality food. Upton Sinclair said, "I aimed at the public's heart, and by accident I hit it in the Stomach" (Blinderman 60). When he said this he was talking about how he exposed the meat industry. Also he made the legislation change. There were some critics on the reasoning Sinclair used in "The Jungle". "His reasoning so false, he is naïve in his disregard of human nature". Also "…his conclusions so perverted that the only effect can be only to disgust many honest sensible folk with the very terms he used so glibly" (Blinderman 103). Sinclair's book "The Jungle" effected the business of Chicago in a good way. "The Jungle" .....

Injustice In To Kill A Mocking
Words: 341 / Pages: 2 .... he was black, which really shows the amount of injustice during the time the novel was set in. Through the whole trial, he did not retaliate at the white people, he did not get mad because he was improperly accused, he just showed the level of respect which everyone deserves. He handled the injustice with a manner reserved only for gentlemen, which is a good description of what he really was.
The third person to suffer injustice in the novel was Boo Radley. Many accusations were claimed about him even though they were untrue. Just because he didn't leave his house, people began to think something was wrong. Boo was a man who was misunderstood and s .....

The Functions Of Setting In “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place”
Words: 846 / Pages: 4 .... and everyone had left the café except an old man who sat in the shadow the leaves of the tree made against the electric light. In the day time the street was dusty, but at night the dew settled the dust and the old man liked to sit late because he was deaf and now at night it was quiet and he felt the difference” (141). He quickly establishes the fact that it late at night and most people have either fallen asleep or have at least headed home for the night. From this one sentence it is also evident that the café is lit by an electric light that is bright enough to casts a crisp shadow over the last, lonely occupa .....

Cheever's "The Nanny Dilemma": Personal Reflection
Words: 315 / Pages: 2 .... As described in the story, many nannies
come from other countries/cultures trying to make a living for their
families and themselves. What I found interesting was that nannies take
care of their obligations, then they come into our homes just like yours
and mine, and they take care of ours. Many of these people are
uncompensated for the amount of work done, some are treated like servants
and yet others are treated with respect. There is no certain job security
for a nanny, one day you may work and the next you may not.
In conclusion I think it is important that we make time for family,
yes you can have a nanny, there is no crime for that, .....

Comparing Dinosours Divorce An
Words: 793 / Pages: 3 .... the real life experience of a family. However, it appears that the gender roles are shared because the illustrations show both the mother and the stepfather taking turns playing with the girls, and they are also setting the table together as a family. The adults' roles and responsibilities to the children seem to be very positive, understanding, and supportive. There are moments when the parents act silly with the girls, and they also discipline them at appropriate times. The stepfather seemed to have slipped in very casually. He let the girls know that he did not want to take their daddy's place, but they can call him papa. The stepfathe .....

themes of the novel. The Director of Hatcheries and Conditioning explains
that this Utopia breeds people to order, artificially fertilizing a
mother's eggs to create babies that grow in bottles. They are not born, but
decanted. Everyone belongs to one of five classes, from the Alphas, the
most intelligent, to the Epsilons, morons bred to do the dirty jobs that
nobody else wants to do. The lower classes are multiplied by a budding
process that can create up to 96 identical clones and produce over 15,000
brothers and sisters from a single ovary.
All the babies are conditioned, physically and chemically in the

The Lord Of The Flies
Words: 804 / Pages: 3 .... world isn’t so different from the one we live in now.
I find it ironic that the very person who interrupted the children’s sick man-hunt of Ralph, will take the children to his ship, which will then hunt the enemy in the very same fashion. Society is no better than the children who are stuck on the island and showing their violent attributes. However, these children were saved, only to be exposed to the exact same situation on a greater level. The entire time the boys were stuck on that terrifying island they were wishing for an adult to come and release them from it. Who then will rescue this individual and save him from the terrors of t .....

Canterbury Tales
Words: 703 / Pages: 3 .... fine horses that were a symbol of wealth at that time, but he did not show this wealth outwardly in his clothing or adornments.
The Knight’s son is somewhat his opposite. He dresses more fancily and shows off. He is a squire training to be a knight like his father. I don’t think that he is very serious about this because he enjoys the pleasures of life and not much of his training. Chaucer’s thoughts of his appearance were:
He was some twenty years of age, I guessed. In stature he was of moderate length,With wonderful agility and strength. (78-80) He stayed up mall night and partied so he did not get much sleep.
The Oxford Cleric was an odd .....

Barn Burning: Sarty's Transformation Into Adulthood
Words: 846 / Pages: 4 .... and the way he obeys
his father throughout the story.
The first instance in which we can see a transition from childhood to
adulthood in Sarty's life is in the way he compliments his father. Sarty
admires his father very much and wishes that things could change for the better
throughout the story. At the beginning of the story he speaks of how his
fathers "...wolflike independence..."(145) causes his family to depend on almost
no one. He believes that they live on their own because of his fathers drive
for survival. When Sarty mentions the way his father commands his sisters to
clean a rug with force "...though never raising his voice..."(148), .....
