Suffer The Little Children - S
Words: 645 / Pages: 3 .... wickedness. King uses metaphors, and almost every one of them suggests a likeness with something evil, taking for example the giggling, like the laughter of demons...or they were ringed in a tight little circle, like mourners around an open grave. Irony also exists in this story. Sidley seems to be the ideal teacher, who is efficient at her job and knows how to keep her students quite in class, when actually she is the one who has a disturbing behavior and ends up surprising her colleague in school when she is found about to kill one more child. King also used an interesting style to introduce a new character to the story: Buddy Jenkins was his name .....

Uh-Oh: Some Observations From Both Sides Of The Refrigerator Door
Words: 444 / Pages: 2 .... and
ease of reading is a pro, but still it is very detailed in every way. Here's one
thing though: if you didn't like the style of writing in his previous books,
chances are not much will change your opinion on this book from your opinion on
the last. The style of writing is very laid back, sort of a Sunday reader or one
that you can pick up in the bathroom from time to time.
I enjoyed reading this book so much the first time I had to read it again.
The second time was even better than the first, because of all the new things I
could understand. I love how nowhere on his book does it say “New York Times
Bestseller” because every other book .....

The Apprenticeship Of Duddy Kravitz: Duddy
Words: 1183 / Pages: 5 .... to decide on one type of person
to be for the rest of his life. Duddy's Uncle Benjy tried to explain this
and make it clear to Duddy in his letter by saying, "A boy can be two,
three, four potential people, but a man is only one. He murders the
others." (p.279) I think that this was the best advice he ever got, but he
didn't need it; in the end he allows himself to become the con-artist, the
sly scammer person without even realising that he had a decision in the
matter.
Simcha, Duddy's grandfather, was the person whom Duddy looked up to
and wanted to please because he was the only one who truly respected and
loved Duddy. It was also Simcha w .....

A Review: The Day Of The Jackal
Words: 495 / Pages: 2 .... feeling of accomplishment when Bastien
says, "That's it! One hundred and fifty bullets will have passed through the
presidential car by the time it comes abreast of the van. By God we've got it."
All this points to Fredrick Forsyth's amazing mood setting talent in this novel.
The reader feels at one with the many characters as they each take part
in the many small ventures that give rise to the climax. In a scene where the
Jackal is purchasing a fake identification card, the reader can tell that the
man making the card is an expert. Not because it was mentioned, but because the
man has such a large amount of information about I.D. cards to offer. Thi .....

1984: Some Prophecies Have Come True
Words: 552 / Pages: 3 .... The
truth is that today people are being brainwashed constantly and some times they
don't even know it. For example people are always being brainwashed into buying
a certain product by advertisements on the televisions or by subliminal messages.
Winston was brainwashed into conforming to the normal society by loving Big
Brother. The brainwashing in the book might be a little exaggerated but it is
still the same concept.
Yet another example is how people are tagged with numbers. People today
are identified by a social security number same as in 1984. Many of Orwells
predictions became true but many didn't.
Despite the truth .....

Words: 1768 / Pages: 7 .... a main character. These
narrators face a world of confusion, a world of fear, a world of adventure,
and most of all, a world of opportunity. By these things I mean that Nick
Caraway, and Huckleberry Finn have a chance to mature as time progresses

Martin Luther’s An Appeal To The Ruling Class Of German Nationality As To The Amelioration Of The State Of Christendom
Words: 472 / Pages: 2 .... Luther disagrees with this “human invention” and states that according to the Bible, “…there is no difference among [the religious and secular classes] except insofar as they do different work.” Therefore, all men are equal no matter their class, and the popes, bishops, priests, princes, and lords are only people appointed to rule. Luther undermines the first wall, and further weakens the Church by striking the second.
The pope’s duty is to interpret the Holy Scriptures. The people follow the pope because he has a sincere understanding of the Bible. However there is no proof that the pope has the greatest understanding of the Holy .....

The Great Gatsby: The Destructive Effects Of Wealth
Words: 416 / Pages: 2 .... doesn't mean you can do whatever you please.
A marital relationship should be heavily based on love. I got none
of that love from Tom's and Daisy's marriage. Their constant irritating
remarks, and interruptions make it seem that there is no love between them.
They seem like a couple in their 80's who are sick and tired of each
other. The fact that they came from rich families probably attributed to
their snobby behavior.
The attitude in the first chapter showed a lot of the ugliness
attributed to wealth. Tom especially showed little and at times no sign
of a pleasant attitude while Nick visited his home. He always found a way
to throw in .....
