Brave New World - The Conflict Between Mond And The Savage
Words: 1700 / Pages: 7 .... that occur can be "solved by standard Gammas, unvarying Deltas, uniform Epsilons. Millions of Identical twins. The principle of mass production at last applied to biology." Mass production of humans. This is one of the principle issues - treating humans like nothing, a "cell" in the "social body". Even as children they are spoken of in terms of mass production, when "the infants were unloaded".
If mass production of humans is harsh, their whole world is summed up in a few short sentences: "The world's stable now. People are happy; they get what they want, and they never want what they can't get. They're well off; they're safe; they're never i .....

The Cask Of Amontillado
Words: 2304 / Pages: 9 .... we know right in the beginning what the story will be about, and what the reader is in for. In this case, Poe lets the reader know right away and throughout the story, that the probable outcome, will be Montresor getting revenge on Fortunato.
2)How readable and interesting is the style?
Poe's style is interesting, but somewhat difficult to read in the beginning. At the start of the story, Poe develops the plot of the story in a difficult manner. For example, Poe writes, "It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong." He could have just said in simpler terms, the revenge ha .....

Ernest Hemingway
Words: 2997 / Pages: 11 .... upset stomachs, and cleaning house; they were not fit for a lady. She taught her children to always act with decorum. She adored the singing of the birds and the smell of flowers. Her children were expected to behave properly and to please her, always.
Mrs. Hemingway treated Ernest, when he was a small boy, as if he were a female baby doll and she dressed him accordingly. This arrangement was alright until Ernest got to the age when he wanted to be a "gun-toting Pawnee Bill". He began, at that time, to pull away from his mother, and never forgave her for his humiliation.
The town of Oak Park, where Ernest grew up, was very old fas .....

An Analysis Of British Literature
Words: 2732 / Pages: 10 .... The most famous writing from
this epoch is the epic poem Beowulf. Beowulf, the main character, had no
fear of the evil monster Grendel because he believed "Grendel and I are
called/ Together," by fate. He also displayed his faith in the beliefs of
society when he told Hrogthgar "Fate will unwind as it must." When
Grendel died, the soldiers "had no semse of sorrow, felt no regret for his
sufferings," because they believed Grendel was destined to die, and there
was no way to defy destiny. They also did not pity Grendel because they
considered him to be entirely evil because it was his fate. The Anglo-
Saxon's strong belief in fate led to them not .....

The Sun Also Rises By Ernest H
Words: 384 / Pages: 2 .... was watching the lives of his friends unfold and happen around him, but without his participation. I read that Hemingway had purposely re-written the book in first person and this was probably to spell out that Jake was an observer and was thus aware of what was written on the pages. There is a scene towards the end of the book where Jake finds all of his friends eating at a restaurant and thinks to himself that he is too far behind to catch up. Jake always seems behind, or at least only a marginal player put so in his position because of his injury. He must have had relations with Brett before the injury and was a "player" before it, so this leads .....

Sir Gawain And The Green Knight
Words: 1016 / Pages: 4 .... plays the part of a passive hero, but still a hero nonetheless. Beowulf has one duty: he must fight and win. If he succeeds, he is a hero; if he fails he is simply a failure (except when he fails at defeating the dragon because he has already proved himself and goes with honor, which is different from initially failing). In the last lines of the story the author clearly acknowledges Beowulf’s overall triumph, "Telling stories of their dead king and his greatness, his glory, praising him for heroic deeds, for a life as noble as his name."
Sir Gawain on the other hand is deemed a hero but seems to lack something that Beowulf simply does .....

Amazing Quran
Words: 10506 / Pages: 39 .... Qur'an does talk about the desert - some of its imagery describes the desert; but it also talks about the sea - what it's like to be in a storm on the sea.
Some years ago, the story came to us in Toronto about a man who was in the merchant marine and made his living on the sea. A Muslim gave him a translation of the Qur'an to read. The merchant marine knew nothing about the history of Islam but was interested in reading the Qur'an. When he finished reading it, he brought it back to the Muslim and asked, "This Muhammed, was he a sailor?" He was impressed at how accurately the Qur'an describes a storm on a sea. When he was told, "No as a matter of fac .....
