For example Emil says, “I only feel that it (the sparrow hawk) signifies some shattering event…that it concerns all of us.”(pg.159). And when the final chapter .....

Of nog erger HAD iemand hem gezien? Hij zette deze gedacht uit zijn hoofd en liep zachtjes naar buiten. Hij liep zonder na te denken naar de afgesproken plaats waar hij Arie zou ontmoeten. Van een afstand zag hij Arie al staan. Arie was helemaal in het zwart gekleedt. Arie liep op hem af, en ging naast hem lopen. "Vanmiddag ga .....

A Clockwork Orange
Number of words: 1207 | Number of pages: 5.... can make a good film. One of them is the makeup. Alex and his gang (droogs) all where a makeup when they go out and do there thing. It gives them all a look of insanity and makes them look disturbed. I think that this was well done because it gives you a feeling of fear. Being afraid of a character in a movie is an excellent way to get to know them.
Another element used is the script. Stanley Kubrick used the same special language used in the book. A lot of the words have no real meaning and you still know what they mean. The context the words are used in is very much like the book. Doing this, the book comes to life o .....

Taronga - Victor Kelleher
Number of words: 1606 | Number of pages: 6.... or a loud confrontation. He is also a humanitarian, as he cares for other animals, even when killing them. This reinforces my attitudes and views on heroes, as I believe that most true heroes are quiet, usually introverted, and do things to make the community better - often without receiving the recognition they deserve. The extroverted heroes, such as Superman, is what society expects, and because of this they often overlook the real heroes. On the other hand, Ben is not a passive character. He takes control of situations, such as when he arranges a meeting with Chas and tells him his plan (which was all untrue) which was the .....

his face; but Stradlater thought that he was a great guy. He actually
thought that there was nothing wrong with never washing his razor. I think
that what mad, Holden so made Stradlater was perpetrating in other word
being "phony" every time he went out all GQ after using that filthy razor.
Another instance is when he calls that girl in New York, Faith Cavendish,
that Eddie Birdsell had brought to a dance at Princeton. Anyway he called
her and she almost went off until Holden drooped Eddie's name. Then all of
a sudden "she was getting friendly as hell." The same person said "if you
