.... the rise of the religious right, the election of Ronald Reagan, and many sorts of backlash (mostly hugely misinformed) against the women's movement led writers like Atwood to fear that the antifeminist tide could not only prevent further gains for women, but turn back the clock. Dystopias are a kind of thought experiment which isolates certain social trends and exaggerates them to make clear their most negative qualities. They are rarely intended as realistic predictions of a probable future, and it is pointless to criticize them on the grounds of implausibility. Atwood here examines some of the traditional attitudes that are embedded in the .....

.... another helpful weight-loss method, physical activity. This type of diet incorporates working out as well as balanced healthy nutrition. 7. The main principle of the Diet is consuming portions of healthy foods, instead of having the burden of counting calories, and weighing foods. Participants eat six smaller meals a day, each containing a "portion" of carbohydrates and proteins. A portion is measured as the size of the palm of your hand.

.... portray Heaven: So much the rather thou Celestial Light Shine inward, and the mind through all her powers Irradiate, there plant eyes, all mist from thence Purge and disperse, that I may see and tell Of things invisible to mortal sight (Hughes, 51-55). Milton's lack of sight is an asset here. We are forced as readers to look upon this scene with the same physical blindness that Milton had. He makes it clear that we could not see it anyway. Instead we must seek inward illumination, which we all possess and need only to utilize. One cannot be sure that God even places much value on mortal sight. A.B. Chambers (1963) wrote that in Heaven "it i .....

.... winning, well-revered boar. Although he died early in the novel, he influenced the entire story by inspiring this animal revolution by delivering a very inconciliatory speech. Snowball, one of the avaricious pigs, was a very acute, persuasive speaker. Napoleon, an eccentric fierce-looking Yorkshire boar, had a reputation for being taciturn, yet dogmatic. Of all the animals on the farm, Squealer was the propagandist. He was the one who revised the history that the animals knew to cover up for their actions. Boxer, who was known for being a super strong scrupulous steed, was gullible yet always faithful to the pigs. Throughout this story, he had two .....

.... an agreement which he sees to be fair. Tom does not see the danger present in bargaining with such a powerful force for so little gain. There is a note of humor present in the narrative, which adds to the sense of danger that is present making deals that one does not intend to keep. Commenting on the story, Larry L. Stevens notes that "This tale,..., comically presents the results of valuing the dollar above all else." This story does a very good job of conveying a message to the reader about human values. In the story Tom is seen as a very self-centered man who cares only for himself and his own well being. He is not even phased when he d .....
