Citizen Soldiers: A Comparison
Words: 1847 / Pages: 7 .... of the American soldiers who fought in World War II. The reader is taken from the D-Day invasion of Normandy, to the eventual surrender by the Nazis, and all in between. While there is little in the way of main plot or story to this book, there is indeed an overall message that the book conveys, a universal theme. The theme being the unit cohesion, teamwork, and the sense of family that develops within a squad and platoon; which are the qualities most World War II combat veterans point to when asked how they survived and won.

The Grapes Of Wrath: Description Al Joad And The Setting
Words: 431 / Pages: 2 .... His job is to drive the family and take complete care of the
truck that they are driving. Al takes his job very seriously and gets upset when
anything happens to the car. Emotionally, I would say Al has become very strong
throughout the novel. He starts out pretty depend on the "glory" of his brother,
but he takes his responsibilities seriously. I see Al as being a crucial
character later in the novel. He is the kind of person that needs motivation
from the start, but once he gets going, he won't stop.
Setting Description
Oklahoma could best be described as one large dustbowl. All rain has
ceased to fall. The dry wind wisps through .....

When going to hunt for the first time, "Jack hid, liberated from shame and self-consciousness" because he knew that his manner of hunting was evil and would only lead to lascivious killing. While describing that hunt to the boys, Jack was "twitching" and "shuddering" as he talked. He knew it was wrong. Eventually all the savages hid behind their masks when their lust for killing climaxes on the manhunt for Ralph. Throughout all of the story, all huntin .....

Comparison Of 1984 And The Cry
Words: 1105 / Pages: 5 .... Waknuck is also based largely on Religion - it is a Christian society. Most of the prejudices are formed from the Bible. Any creature that is against “the true image of God” (or a mutant) is called a Blasphemy. The Christian religion (and indeed other religions) have been the source of numerous prejudices in modern society in Britain (for example sexism and homophobia) and indeed conflicts (for example the conflicts between the Republic and Northern Ireland). In the novel ‘1984’ know-one follows a religion as such, as far as the people of Britain in 1984 are concerned there is no God, the complete opposite of the radical religious view .....

An Analysis Of Irving's "Rip Van Winkle" And "The Devil And Tom Walker
Words: 482 / Pages: 2 .... and
then the town and down till he's in the room with Tom and his wife. In "The
Devil and Tom Walker" the author gives some info on the situation and the
charters and then just jumps into the story. In both of the stories you get
the feeling of something supernatural is going to happen. Also in both they
take place in remote areas.
Next we have the husband wife relationship in both cases. Now Rip
was sort of a say nothing do nothing when it came to his house and wife.
His wife would bad mouth him and yell at him, but Rip wouldn't do much
anyway. He would just go off and sleep. Now Tom and his wife on the other
hand would battle to the death. Tom wo .....

Young Goodman Brown: The Woods
Words: 813 / Pages: 3 .... and Deacon would be overcome in the woods. Brown himself was also a religious man, but he would question his religion as the devil tried to pursue him as the devil did to Goody Clause, the Minister, the Deacon, Brown’s wife, and others. The devil would immediately approach anyone who entered the woods and try to recruit them into his ways. The woods in the Brown story are definitely nowhere anyone would want to journey off into, as they may never leave in the same state of mind.
The woods, in my story are creepy in appearance as most woods are, but are very safe and calming . My woods are overcome with nature at it’s best and great scenery. .....

A Critique Of "Gone To Soldiers" By Marge Piercy
Words: 497 / Pages: 2 .... me from getting bored and kept me reading to find out what was going
to happen to each person next. I really enjoyed the profile of Louise Kahan a
female Jewish American writer, because she is independent and strong willed. An
example of her strength and belief in herself Louise did not instantly return to
her ex-husband Oscar even though they both still loved each other, because she
was strong enough to resist him and his womanizing ways. Piercy gave me a much
better understanding of the cultural and social issues of the World War two era.
I learned about the little struggles of working American women, such as the
unavailability of stockings .....

foundation.
"Dirt's a funny thing," the Boss said. "Come to think of it, there ain't a
thing but dirt on this God's green globe except what's under water, and
that's dirt too. It's dirt makes the grass grow. A diamond ain't a thing in
the world but a piece of dirt that got awful hot. God-a-Mighty picked up a
handful of dirt and blew on it and made you and me and George Washington
and mankind blessed in faculty and apprehension. It all depends on what you
