Criticism Of Practical Application Of Utopia In "Brave New World"
Words: 1162 / Pages: 5 .... In a world of bottled-births, not only is there
no need for a family, but the idea is actually considered obscene. The
terms "mother" and "father" are extremely offensive and are rarely used
except in science.
Huxley uses Mustapha Mond, the World Controller, to portray the
vulgarity when he explains the obscenity of life before Utopia to a group
of students:
And home was as squalid psychically as physically. Psychically, it was a
rabbit hole, a midden, hot with the frictions of tightly packed life,
reeking with emotion. What suffocating intimacies, what dangerous, insane,
obscene relationships between the members of the family group! (37) .....

George Dawes Green's The Juror: Annie
Words: 893 / Pages: 4 .... I met her, Annie was an unadorned artiste who had just transferred out of
Manhattan and into the country. To a small cottage by a lake. Her child, Oliver,
who loved to ride his bike, moved in as well. I have to say that when I met
Annie for the first time it was as Juror N° 224. She was a sparkling maid. Who
would have thought a rotten soul such as the teacher would try to harm her? I
confess that her recoil in the following days impressed me. This time the trial
was against Louie Boffano. He was the head of the mob. He and his right hand The
Teacher were as bad as they come. The case was the murders of Salvadore Riggio
and his grandson. .....

Comparison Of Huck Finn And To
Words: 245 / Pages: 1 .... characteristics into this comical relationship.
Tom and Huck are two adventurous souls but in very opposing ways. Huck’s idea of adventure is to escape from society, their beliefs and all of their conformities, but he does it in a way that is level-headed and sensible. Tom, on the other hand, is more likely to make up an adventure based on something he had read in a book and not really trying to escape anything. All of his ideas and schemes come from books, unlike Huck, who has actually lived the fantasies Tom has imagined.
The two are alike in one way though. They both have a very strong sense of adventure. I think this one trait along with .....

The Theme Of A Doll House
Words: 540 / Pages: 2 .... "A Doll House" is an icon of the women’s movement, even though it is not about women’s rights.
It is argued by some that Ibsen would not admit "A Doll House" to be a play on women’s rights because he did not want to be associated with the women’s movement since it was not popular at the time. This is however only because as Ibsen said "whenever such a description is felt to be reasonably true, the reader will read his own feelings and sentiments into the work" (1133).
The story is actually about a woman who thinks she knows herself. Nora, in the beginning of the story, does not understand just what kind of position she has put herself in by ta .....

The Grapes Of Wrath: No One Man, But One Common Soul
Words: 2337 / Pages: 9 .... and insure
that this suffering would never occur again (Critical 1). Steinbeck shows
in The Grapes of Wrath that there is no one man, but one common soul in
which we all belong to.
The subject of Steinbeck's fiction is not the most thoughtful,
imaginative, and constructive aspects of humanity, but rather the process
of life itself (Wilson 785). Steinbeck has been compared to a twentieth
century Charles Dickens of California; a social critic with more sentiment
than science or system. His writing is warm, human, inconsistent,
occasionally angry, but more often delighted with the joys associated with
human life on its lowest levels (Holman 20). T .....

Catch-22
Words: 837 / Pages: 4 .... again.” “I am sorry, sir. I’m afraid I don’t understand your question.” Later in the interrogation, the colonel is so twisted in his conversation that he no longer wants to know when Clevinger said that he could not be punished. He now wants to know when Clevinger did not say that he could not be punished. Clevinger quickly rebuts and states, “I always didn’t say you couldn’t punish me, sir.” Finally, the colonel is satisfied with that answer even though Clevinger’s statement did not answer the question and has no meaning. Major Major often spoke with a lack of meaning. He simply did not make sense. For instance, he told Sergean .....

Critical Essay On Billy Budd
Words: 521 / Pages: 2 .... to die anyway. The
Judge, Lord Coleridge, found them guilty because "law cannot follow
nature's principle of self-preservation." In other words, necessity is not
a justification for killing, even when this necessity is beyond human
control. Since Billy is unable to defend himself verbally, he "responds to
pure nature, and the dictates of necessity" by lashing out at Claggart. I
agree with Reich's notion that Vere was correct in hanging Billy, and that
it is society, not Vere, who should be criticized for this judgement; for
Vere is forced to reject the urgings of his own heart and his values to
comply with the binding laws of man.
First, the mo .....
