.... they are. In every room of almost every building there is a Telescreen which allows Part members to see and hear anything that goes on in the area of the telescreen. Knowing that anything they say, think or do is being seen by the "Big Brother" people will began to believe and think what they are told is the truth, if they do not, they are tortured until they do. Big Brother is used, in my opinion, to scare the people of Oceania. He is seen as a very powerful person (even if he isn't real) and people know what will happen if they disobey him. The Party wants everyone to have the same morals and beliefs, Big Brother scares tha .....

.... One, Stephen's individualism and lack of tolerance for disrespect become evident when he complains to the rector about the actions of Father Dolan. His confused attitude is clearly displayed by the end of the chapter when he says, "He was happy and free: but he would not be anyway proud with Father Dolan. He would be very kind and obedient: and he wished that he could do something kind for him to show him that he was not proud." Stephen still has respect for his priests, but he has lost his blind sense of acceptance. As Stephen grows, he slowly but inexorably distances himself from religion. His life becomes one concerned wit .....

.... at his parties show careless recklessness with their abuse of alcohol and their bodies. First of all, the people at Gatsby¹s balls drank all night and showed no respect for Gatsby¹s house or possessions. Also the participants of the parties held at Gatsby¹s mansion are audacious enough to drive home while very intoxicated. Furthermore the individuals who were drinking were astonished to see the car in the ditch but none of them bothered to help. Alcohol in large amounts and large groups can cause misjudgements and even death. All in All drinking by Gatsby¹s guests led to extremely reckless behaviors. Next and final of all is t .....

.... second fire must be built without fail." The man's mind begins to run wild with thoughts of insecurity and death when the second fire fails. He recollects the story of a man who kills a steer to stay warm and envisions himself killing his dog and crawling into the carcass to warm up so he can build a fire to save himself. London writes, "a certain fear of death, dull and oppressive, came to him." As the man slowly freezes, he realizes he is in serious trouble and can no longer make excuses for himself. Acknowledging he "would never get to the camp and would soon be stiff and dead," he tries to clear this morbid thought from .....

.... It tells the story of one Tom Robinson. Tom is a black man in a racist town who is accused of a crime that he didn’t commit. Atticus believes and tries to show others that all people are created equal, at least under the law. Bob Ewell accused Tom of beating and raping his daughter and only the black families, and a handful of whites (including Atticus) seem to believe in his innocence. Therefore his chance of a fair trial was slim. The jury’s racism cuts short an innocence man’s life. Unfortunately, the small southern town’s social values raised white children to think of blacks as the ‘second-c .....

.... his lifetime, Dickens appeared to have acquired a drawing towards the bleak and dreary. Most of , for example, takes place in London's lowest slums. Many of the settings, such as the pickpocket's hideout, the surrounding streets, and the bars, are described as dark, gloomy, and bland. It often appears that Dickens was extremely depressed and dwelled on the past. If he had looked to Jesus to break the chains of the past, Another similarity between Oliver and Dickens is that they both have had interactions with convicts. Fagin, the head of a group of young thieves, spends most of his time trying to corrupt Oliver, which would l .....

.... paragraph 18) His goal, it seems, is to single-mindedly to accomplish as much copying as is humanly possible. The first few attempts on the part of the narrator to tell Bartleby to do something else, no matter how moderate the task, are met with the simple refusal, "I'd prefer not to." (Melville paragraph 21) The narrator reasonably chooses not to punish this insubordination because of both the quality, and the quantity of Bartleby's regular work. After a series of requests from the narrator that all end in noncompliance, Bartleby shifts his focus from the intensive copying of documents to simply doing nothing at all. This, .....

.... of Christ. Yet Christ is not symbolized through traditional symbols, but in clay and coal. In this Christ is shown to be a component of a physical or material world. The flame from the windhover indicates self-sacrifice under stress. It is interesting that Hopkins puts AND in capitals and the resulting flame is described as a billion times lovelier than the windhovers image. Maybe the AND expresses the poets surprise that the spendor of self-sacrifice should be greater than the windhovers ability to stand still in the air. At the end of the poem Hopkins said "no wonder of it" because everything in the world has the mark .....

.... uses to the description of the fit of his uniform, one is presented with the details that allow the waiter to contribute to the novel in means beyond simply the presence of a minor character. His description and actions provide the novel with a sense of "real life". Another way in which Tolstoy gives the minor character a sense of life is by making them unpredictable. One sees this in the character of Ryabinin. When initially discussed, the reader is told that upon conclusion of business, Ryabinin will always say "positively and finally" (p161). However upon conclusion of the sale of the land, Ryabinin does not use his usual .....

.... which the author, Flannery O'Connor, was a part of. In addition to her Southern upbringing, another influence on the story is Flannery O'Connor's illness. She battled with the lupus disease which has caused her to use a degree of violence and anger to make her stories somewhat unhappy. The illness caused a sadness inside of Flannery O'Connor, and that inner sadness flowed from her body to her paper through her pen. Although she was sick, O'Connor still felt proud to be who she was. By comparison, Mrs. Turpin in “Revelation” has a good disposition about herself. She is far from perfect, yet she is happy to be who she is. P .....
