.... Brave New World also deals with man in a changed society. Huxley asks his readers to look at the role of science and literature in the future world, scared that it may be rendered useless and discarded. Unlike Bradbury, Huxley includes in his book a group of people unaffected by the changes in society, a group that still has religious beliefs and marriage, things no longer part of the changed society, to compare and contrast today's culture with his proposed futuristic culture. But one theme that both Brave New World and Fahrenheit 451 use in common is the theme of individual discovery by refusing to accept a passive approach to life, and re .....

.... picture of what life is like living in Maycomb County. Only minor events occur such as the introduction of all the characters, Gem and Scout meeting a new friend Dill, Scout attending school, and probably the biggest: the introduction and old wives tales about the mysterious neighbor Boo Radley. Some small events that increase the suspense were Gem’s pants being mended by an unknown person, and during a local fire, a blanket wrapped around Scout by a stranger. After the reader gets a true feel for life in the South, the action starts to pick up. One day during school, a fellow classmate of Scout calls Atticus a "Niger lover." Scout is confused and .....

.... Brown is depicted as a fair and holy man. Little does he knows that the journey he is about to take will strip him of all that is innocent and pleasant in his environment. Not long after Goodman Brown’s journey down the wooded path, but he comes upon the figure of a man. This is Hawthorn’s opening stage for Goodman Brown’s disillusionment, which turns out to be the beginning of the end for Young Goodman. The man along the path is clearly seen as evil because of the detailed description of his devilish appearance and the nature of this late-night rendezvous. The devilish man says to Goodman Brown “I have been well acquainted with your fam .....

.... the same period, been organized and respectably maintained. Forts, navy yards, and dry docks had been constructed. In 1789 America's coastline was marked by only eight or ten lighthouses; in 1839 by two hundred and fifty. Harbors had been improved, rivers and lakes rendered more navigable, roads and public buildings constructed. From a mere seventy five post offices, scattered bout the Union, the number had soared to over twelve thousand. There were now twenty five hundred miles of canals, though none had existed while Washington was in office; and the railroads “ beginning only ten or twelve years ago, are already completed over one thou .....

.... by segregating the group. His devious, deceptive plan is successful and he and half the group separates from the other. Now these young boys must face their original problem; being stranded from all contact of civilization coupled with the hatred of the two “tribes.� This is extremely dangerous because the tension between the two groups is at a high and everyone fears for their lives. Although I can’t explain the ending of William Golding’s book (because I am not sure what exactly happens) I’m sure it is vaguely similar to that of Gary Paulson’s book Hatchet. The theme of the story Hatchet is determination, perseverance, and surviva .....

.... the conflicts between them. They are, somehow, attached or attracted by each other, both the mortals and the immortals. Their love and hate and struggles go to such degrees, and yet limited by their nature, it was almost impossible to understand it at all. I believe Anne Rice had used those characters to express humanity, the whole plot was some kind of an irony. Something like a metaphor, though she exaggerated everything to make it poignant enough. Not only were the characters a success, the time and place details were incredible. The costumes, ways of manner, history and every background changes as the years passed, and she made the background .....

.... the first volume in a series, that chronicles the life of a small number of San Francisco residents. With each new chapter there is a personal development for the characters within. It is this sense of development that is most important for the continuity of Tales of the City. The development neatly meshes the character's lives with one another, till ultimately the product is a mass evolution. It is interesting to note that the writing style Mr. Maupin uses to guide the story forward is consistent throughout the book. Chapters inevitably commence with a character's response to the given situation. There are several departures from this sty .....

.... She seems to stay with Drouet only long enough to see that better things are available, comforts more extravagant than Drouet can provide, and cultural experiences and social nuances whose existence Drouet seems unaware of. Drouet, then, acts as a stepping stone for her. When he no longer has anything he can offer her, she drops him in favor of Hurstwood. In Hurstwood, Carrie sees all that lacks in Drouet--a more acute sense of culture and worldliness, and the wealth to explore the new wonders of civilized Chicago life. Hurstwood serves as yet another step in her ladder to success, and when he sinks into poverty and self-disgrace after his divorce, .....

.... up with his brother. Boo’s brother practically took ownership over Boo, and controlled his life. Boo did help the children in “little� times. Like when Gem got his pants stuck on the fence. It was Boo that sewed them up, and when the neighbors’ house was on fire. It was cold out, and Boo came to scout with a blanket. He wanted to be there for people. Another argument about Boo is that he killed someone. I have many sides to this topic. It’s possible that Boo killed Mr. Ewell out of hate. Killed him because he was a petty drunk, and none the less, just a horrible man. Then again, Boo could have killed Mr. Ewell for the children†.....

.... Adventures of Tom Sawyer, which ended with Huck^Òs adoption by Widow Douglas. But it is so much more. Into this book the world called his masterpiece, Mark Twain put his prime purpose, one that branched in all his writing: a plea for humanity, for the end of caste, and of its cruelties (Allen 260). Twain, whose real name is Samuel Langhorne Clemens, was born in Florida, Missouri, in 1835. During his childhood he lived in Hannibal, Missouri, a Mississippi river port that was to become a large influence on his future writing. It was Twain’s nature to write about where he lived, and his nature to criticize it if he felt it necessary. As far h .....
