.... consideration, and Huxley’s novel has become much closer to a reality than it was 65 years ago. Today, Huxley’s Brave New World parallels current advances in genetical engineering, cloning, the lowering of moral standards held by the general mass, and the obsession people have with looking young. Theses new discoveries of genetical engineering and cloning closely parallel the process of giving birth in the Brave New World. In Brave New World, people are born artificially in test tubes. Everyone is condidtioned to be the same: to share the same characteristics, their way of thinking, and their ideas. People who claimed individual thought .....

.... conch. In Lord of the Flies, an example of their move from civilization to anarchy lies the use of face paint among the boys on the island. Some of the boys, like Ralph and Piggy, never wear face paint. This shows that they stay civilized throughout the story, while the other kids do not. Early in the story, when the hunters chase after a pig, they all where mud, clay, and charcoal as face paint to be “like things trying to look like something else-” (Lord of the Flies, William Golding, p. 66). Later, when Jack forms his own tribe they go hunting with masks of pig blood on their faces, as masks. Golding suggests that the children are abl .....

.... the peasant cottage,(which wasn't that big) and the long house which had more space by far. The village wasn't a very delightful place to be in. It was a place of bustle, clutter, smells, disrepair, and dust, or in much of the year mud. It was far from silent! Every village had a lord, but only rarely was he in residence. A resident lord was usually a petty knight. The old feudal theory of lordship as a link in the legal chain of authority running from serf to monarch had lost much of it's substance. However, as far as the village was concerned such legal complications hardly mattered, anymore than whether the lord was great or small. A village .....

When the day arrived, had to fight a bull dog, and if it wasn't for a man named Weedon Scott, he would have died. He was his new master for ever. III. Analysis of characterization In the main character is . began his life as a wild wolf-dog, but he was taken by an Indian as a pup, and was domesticated. He soon learned the power of his master and obeyed his laws, even though his wild instincts told him not to, as London notes: Every instinct of his nature would have impelled him to dash wildly away, had there not suddenly and for the first time arisen in him an .....

.... and economic despair of the thirties in the U.S, "The Glass Menagerie" in nostalgia for a past world and its evocation of loneliness and lost love celebrates, above all, the human need to dream. Amanda Wingfield resents the poverty - stricken neighborhood in which she lives, so much so that she needs to escape mentally from it by invented romance and self-deception. Williams describes her as having "endurance and a kind of heroism, but she is also silly, snobbish, sometimes cruel and sometimes pathetic in her well-intentioned blundering. Her love for her children is exasperating and suffocating; her energetic gaiety can be nauseating. Abandon .....

.... from the fact that she found gifts in a tree on the Radley lot.. Scout stated: Some tinfoil was sticking in a knot-hole just above my eye level, winking at me in the afternoon sun. I stood on tiptoe, hastily looked around once more, reached into the hole, and withdrew two pieces of chewing gum minus their outer wrappers. (Lee, p.67) Although Scout may not have realized the connection of the gifts, she later realized they must have came from Boo. This was the start of her acceptance of Boo as a "nice" person. When Miss Maudie's house caught on fire, Boo surprised Scout. Atticus stated, "Boo Radley. You were so busy looking .....

.... It is this sense of privacy, in my opinion, that supersedes any other factor throughout the story. To understand this sense of inwardness, one must explore the novel itself. The story begins in the early 1800's (c. 1801) and one Mr. Lockwood removed from the narrative. The novel begins to take shape, only after some degree of reading, when we realize what is happening at in conjunction with Thrushcroff Grange. Soon afterwards, Nelly Dean makes her appearance, while she herself is somewhat unpreceptible. Overall, content and structure is rather fractured, although a so-called Satanic hero begins to emerge as a creature of darkness as well as rebelli .....

.... parties and tended to lose herself in them and the drinking. Daisy once said, "What'll we do with ourselves this afternoon, and the day after that, and the next thirty years?" This quote not only means she lives for one day at a time never thinking of the future, but that she truly has no idea of what to do with herself. She is like loose change floating around wandering from party to party, man to man, friend to friend, in a big house in East Egg with no sense of purpose. She once attempted to plan something when she first reunited with Nick. She said, "What'll we plan? What do people plan?" meaning she has never had to make decisions nor has she .....

.... a normal life are controlled. Some of these can be compared to a life dominated by Socialism, Fascism, or Communism. Socialism demands state ownership and control of the basic means of production and distribution of wealth. Both of these are going on in the book. The Inner Party controls business, and I don’t think that anyone can have private profits. They all have apartments, no houses or privately owned residents, and all eat and work in similar environments. All of these are signs of Socialism. There are classes of people, though, (the proles are different from the others), and this is not a trait of Socialism. Communism also calls for no pr .....

.... Puritan history. The first chapter begins with Hester being led to the scaffold where she is to be publicly shamed for having committed adultery. Hester is forced to wear the letter “A” on her gown at all times as punishment for her crime.

Chillingworth visits Hester after she is returned t .....
