Parkland By Victor Kelleher
Number of words: 832 | Number of pages: 4.... when he is trying to find out
information with out being caught.
Half way through the book the keepers do to him what is known as ‘
deprogramming', which gives him a stroke and his skills are reduced due to
the left side of him being limp. Boxer goes through a lot of pain to save
his friends and never grizzles or wants anything in return which I find is
very admirable. Near the end of the book Boxer commits suicide so not to
slow everyone else down, this part of the book is very sad.
RALPH: Ralph is half human half gorilla and does not have the same grip on
speech as Boxer does. Instead Ralph understands people by his very att .....

The Gradual Development Of Cha
Number of words: 805 | Number of pages: 3.... 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 able to disguise themselves behind these masks, and escape any punishment, therefore freeing them to do as they please. This shows that Golding wanted the reader to think that while the children are afraid of punishment (when they have just arrived on the island), they are civilized in their behaviour, but when they wear their mask .....

A Reference To God In Narrative Of The Captivity And Restoration Of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson
Number of words: 713 | Number of pages: 3.... that God was punishing his people for breaking their special covenant. She described the relationship between the Indians and the colonists as one dealt with by God. As she surveyed her home after the attack by the Indians, she credited the destruction not to the Indians, but to God, when she quoted "Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations He has made in the earth" (35). Thus, Rowlandson revealed her belief that God would act against other people simply because they were enemies to the Puritans. Rowlandson believed that the sins of the colonists, which deviated from their covenant with God, led God to use the Indian .....

Bill Budd
Number of words: 483 | Number of pages: 2.... Billy is sweet, John is bitter. Where Billy is naïve, John is knowledgeable. Where Billy is content, John is jealous. Lastly, where Billy is good, John is bad.
The ugliness that results in the death of both men portrays the triumph of sinister forces over the meek. John Claggart, who is a powerful and feared man aboard Bellipotent, lashes out at Billy who is for the most part defenseless. This is an injustice of biblical proportions.
What could have prevented this from happening? Perhaps, if Billy picked up on John’s malicious intent the entire tragedy could have been avoided. But, on the other hand Billy was good and soug .....

Carvers Cathedral
Number of words: 1194 | Number of pages: 5.... that blindness was exactly like being a prisoner in Plato’s Cave, a scary world where no light ever penetrated.

As far as he is concerned, his situation is completely normal. He knows there are lots of people just like him. In “The Cathedral” the extent of the husband’s ignorance or naiveté is extremely irritating. When his wife tells him the beautiful story of the blind man’s romantic relationship with his wife Beulah, all he could think of is “ What a pitiful life this woman mus .....

Heart Of Darkness: Ignorance And Racism
Number of words: 1003 | Number of pages: 4.... to it.
Conrad probably would have been criticized as being soft hearted rather than a
racist back in his time.
Conrad constantly referred to the natives, in his book, as black savages,
niggers, brutes, and "them", displaying ignorance toward the African history
and racism towards the African people. Conrad wrote, "Black figures strolled
out listlessly... the beaten nigger groaned somewhere" (Conrad 28). "They
passed me with six inches, without a glance, with the complete, deathlike
indifference of unhappy savages" (Conrad 19). Achebe, also, detected Conrad's
frequent use of unorthodox name calling, "Certainly Conrad ha .....
