.... one to a counterpart in Russian history. A Tale of Two Cities also typifies this kind of literature. Besides the central theme of love, is another prevalent theme, that of a revolution gone bad. He shows us that, unfortunately, human nature causes us to be vengeful and, for some of us, overly ambitious. Both these books are similar in that both describe how, even with the best of intentions, our ambitions get the best of us. Both authors also demonstrate that violence and the Machiavellian attitude of "the ends justifying the means" are deplorable. George Orwell wrote Animal Farm, ". . . to discredit the Soviet system by showing its inhuman .....

.... got enough jewels to buy more land, which caused the rise of the Wang family. Another major thing to go wrong occurred after he had gotten rich. This was the return of his uncle. Wang Lung's uncle and his uncle's son caused him much grief by constantly pestering him for money, yet there was nothing that he could do because is would be considered disrespectful for one to be anything but considerate to an older generation. This was an unfortunate occurrence, but Wang Lung was able to hook his uncle on opium, thus making him a passive nuisance which could then be relatively easily ignored. A third thing to go wrong was when he had moved into the hous .....

.... the individual. That one should determine the cause and then find an exclusive treatment to resolve that individual's case, then apply it. This is the case with the character Alex, a juvenile delinquent introduced into prisonization then conditioned by governmental moral standards. This lack of personal moral choice imposed upon Alex creates conflicting situations in which he has no control over. This is apparent when trying to readjust into society. As conflicts arise within the spectrum of criminal justice the main focus is revolved around the corrections aspect of reforming the criminal element. Within the confines of the seventies Londone .....

.... by the name of Imdaar. The setting then moves to Imperial headquarters on the planet of Coruscant. Plot Summary : Corran and his new partners are given a limited amount of training time and are sent out on a mission in just weeks of forming the new Rogue Squadron X-wing fighter group. This book switches the first- person perspective between Corran and Kirtan Loor. While Corran and the Rogue Squadron are off fighting TIE fighters and Star Destroyers, Kirtan is hunting down information on the squadron and it's pilots. Personal Reaction : I found this book a little hard to read because of the long complicated sentences and the complex words Michael .....

.... Pancho Villa as a revered hero who pushed out foreign "proprietors" and fought for the common man. On one hand, there is the compassionate man who helped those in need and rescued orphans providing them with food, education, and a home. On the other hand, there was the ferocious general who destroyed villages and killed innocent victims. Villa was generous and helpful to his followers, of which he insisted on loyalty and trust, but to those who violated his trust and authority, he was merciless and cruel. We can clearly see the similarities of these two leaders when we analyze their noble actions. Demetrio’s reluctance to stop after he is i .....

.... that unorthodox carries with it harsh penalties. Early in the book, Winston contemplates the consequences of his journal keeping: "The thing he was about to do was open a diary. This was not illegal (nothing was illegal, since there were no longer any laws), but if detected it was reasonably certain that it would be punished by death..."(Orwell 9). Oceania has no courts or prisons, only the Thought Police and Ministry of Love. The Thought Police serve to help the party maintain the strictest level of orthodoxy among its followers, and further contribute to the loss of juridical rights, for as O'Brien eventually explains to Winston, "The Party .....

.... as they really are. When the boys are sent to the front, it is only then when they start to realize how war is not great. This is when the boys are cramped into the trenches. Some of the soldiers were shell-shocked because of the constant bombardment. When one of the boys was wounded, he was taken to a hospital where there were many wounded soldiers. Some soldiers had to have parts of their bodies amputated in order to survive. When Kemmerich was in the hospital, Müller ask for his pair of boots. The boots was a visible reminder to the boys of the cost of war. Paul then has to face his own conscience when he kills one of the Frenchmen. He do .....

He helped stake out new territory by selling his goods, his son Biff was going to go to university w ith a scholarship and he had a home with n .....

.... drugs quite easily in both of these places. A character in this book that I really disliked was Jan because when her “so called friend� was in big trouble, she lied and got her in even more trouble. The second reason that I dislike Jan was because she gave Alice a Coke (Coca-Cola) with LSD in it without even warning her. Another reason I really dislike Jan is because she was going to baby sit a young child while she was high. She could have killed that young infant because of her stupidity and that really annoys me. The part of this book that was particularly effective was when I saw how drugs led Alice into a mental hospital. When I heard that .....

.... as "Old Ellen." I believe that she uses this name because throughout the book Ellen is always taking care of someone beside herself: her colored friend, Starletta, and her dying mother. Ellen's parents die, and her grandmother dies, but this isn’t really a great loss for Ellen. Her mother was a frail and sick woman whom Ellen was constantly protecting from her drunken father. For a time, Ellen’s Art teacher, Julia, and her husband move Ellen into their home. She feels, for the first time, that she is apart of a loving family. She describes, in the book, “ the three of us could pass for a family on the street.� {P. 55} Unfortunately, the juv .....
