.... these problems that Lennie caused George, especially with work, such as getting run out of Weed because they thought Lennie tried to rape a young women. “They run us outa Weed,� he exploded triumphantly. Anyone would have given up on him and left, but not George. George stayed with him because he loved him. He remained for a friend. George’s other strong characteristic was taking the life of a friend, out of love and compassion. He also did it out of respect, so Lennie could die with dignity. “George was quite for a moment. “But not us,� he said. “Because____� “Because I got you an’____� “An I got you. We got each other, tha .....

.... to be deaf and dumb. Much of the understanding and respect is lost in the transition between book and movie. In the book, Bromden has flashbacks to his childhood, lighting on significant points in his childhood. His background is never even brushed upon in the movie. Of course it would have been nearly impossible to tell of Bromdens life in a movie, much less show the world from his point of view as in the book. Bromden is still a very interesting character but the real puzzle to his problems is lost. McMurphy is a very sly, cunning man. He knows how to play his game and does it well. In the book as McMurphy progresses, he goes through man .....

.... of the American flag. There is, however, trouble in Paradise. First we witness a man—who later turns out to be Jeffrey’s father—suffer a stroke and, after showing his helpless agony, the camera burrows into the grass revealing insects “in a ferocious, predatory, and cannibalistic fight for life” (Dirks, “Blue Velvet (1984)”, http://www.filmsite.org/blue.html). These pictures, made even more terrifying by the extreme close-up and the accompanying sounds, provide the first visual clue of the dive we are about to make into the subterranean world under the pastoral life of normalcy. Our guide through this he .....

.... moved unremittingly sometimes to the right, sometimes to the left.” (page 29) Happy to be with his father, Elie still did not know if he was in line for the prison or the crematory.

.... Indians. Pushed westward, as their number decreased, the Indians began to loose their land and their spirit. The tribe began to doubt their God. The stories that helped individuals retain their wealth ceased to be told, because the wealth of the tribe was gone.

.... cavernous mouth with puffy lips, behind which could be glimpsed small fragments of black teeth"--accurately reflects his foul, disgusting character. He has no respect for himself; he enjoys playing the part of the shameless "buffoon" for attention, even though the attention he receives is negative. Because he has no respect for himself, he can have no respect for others, either. He has no respect for women, for example; he is a despicable "voluptuary," and he satisfies his lust at any cost. He drives his wife to madness by bringing "women of ill-repute" into their house right in front of her. Even more shockingly, he rapes a mentally retarded woma .....

.... Love discourages love, and the Ministry of Peace is actually quite violent. The final example of verbal Irony can be seen in the name of the leader of Oceania, "Big Brother." The concept of a big brother is one whom is older and wiser and helps the "littler siblings" -- this not the case with 1984's Big Brother. The Big Brother in this novel completely watches over every move a person makes keeping them controlled with fear. The next type of irony is Situation irony, which is when a character or a sequence of events appears to be headed one way, but it ends up as the opposite of what was thought. One example of this is Winston's general health. Fro .....
