.... you let others decide for you?" As two men on the extreme sides of conformity and independence, it is hard for Keating to understand how someone could be so sure of himself, whereas it is incomprehensible for Roark to believe that Keating could have so little self-assurance and such a lack of resolve regarding the decisions he chooses to make. In this regard, Howard Roark is greater than Peter Keating. Often times in world affairs, smaller nations adhere to a state of Finlandization; they buckle under the pressures of a larger nation because they lack the strength to strive for independent thought. Howard Roark, is a man who re .....

.... outraged. Huxley is trying to warn society that its lack of commitment and endurance will eventually be its downfall. Lack of the experience of pregnancy severs the emotional ties of the woman and her child. An emotionless society feels no guilt. In addition, Lenina, when accused of lack of promiscuity by Fanny while in the locker room, religiously denies it. Monogamy requires commitment, pain, and work. Huxley is predicting humans progressing to a society of people who are unable to focus on anything but pleasure; unable to handle the work of a commitment. He knew the road we were on would lead the wrong way. Huxley also .....

.... fact, the father of her bastard child took a more severe sentence. Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale seemed to be an upstanding, young priest. The whole town liked him and respected him as a holy man. Thus, his deception was much more direct and extreme when he did not confess that he impregnated Hester Prynne. Unlike Hester, he was not publicly punished. So although Hester overcame her ordeal and went on with her life, Dimmesdale exacted a constant, physical and mental reprobation on himself. This inner pain was so intense that his physical health began to reflect his inner sufferings. In the end, he redeemed himself by his confe .....

.... lie throughout the conversation and avoids getting together by saying he has a tumor in his brain. This is the type of lies Holden tells. One reason for this might be that he is trying to hide his true identity. He does not want people to know who he really is or that he was kicked out of his fourth school. Holden is always using fake names and tries speaking in a tone to persuade someone to think a cretin way. He does this when he talks to women. While he is talking to the psychiatrist he explains peoples reactions to his lies like they really believe him, when it is very possible that he is a horrible liar and they are look .....

.... an ethical conflict in my mind that fought to distinguish what prominence God had maintained in my lifetime. I could scarcely believe that such literature would not have a profound effect on an individual who possessed strong religious background (this assimilates the decision of the exodus Rushdie has maintained contrary to the threats of the Islamic community) Never have I encountered such literature that treads upon on line between celestial religion versus oppresive regime Therefore, in analyzing and interpreting each piece of fiction, I was able to understand what similarities they held and why such novels can procreate .....

.... he is naïve in his disregard of human nature". Also "…his conclusions so perverted that the only effect can be only to disgust many honest sensible folk with the very terms he used so glibly" (Blinderman 103). Sinclair's book "The Jungle" effected the business of Chicago in a good way. "The Jungle" made laws come into effect to make meat packing, and the food safer. Today there is meat grading, the ink used today (that is used for stamping) is harmless, it is made from vegetable dye (Ziegler 374). Meat packing today has a price, it raises periodically because of inflation, it is presently at $26.40 per hour (Ziegler 37 .....

.... and give him a "careless powerful look". Speech also renders some importance in this novel. A few examples of abbreviated words are: "Wurst kind", and "More'n enough", and lastly "Oh, I ain't afr'd". All of these slang words and also many more were used throughout the novel. This misuse of words shows that Frome and the other characters were not well educated. The work was more important than learning and also, Ethan Frome's parents needed taken care of while he was still a young man. He was forced to grow up too quickly, to become an adult much too quickly. Ethan Frome was highly motivated by Mattie Silver. He dreamed of being .....
