.... fit for a novel. If the book is compared to life it is evident that there is not a single distinct pattern that neither the book nor life itself follows. The repitition of the character Nick can be related to a main character in a novel. The similarities in the style of thought between all the male characters show a correlation with life. These correlations are the way that subcontiously we all make choices that suit our best interests, such as the people in which we choose to be around and the types of things we encounter. For example, a person who is adventurous is not going to limit themselves and engage in extremely boring .....

.... setting—coffee houses, jazz clubs, large public auditoriums and even athletic stadiums. Poetry is more popular and more read than anytime in history, not only spoken poetry but also sung poetry of a high order.

.... one thing holds true. Cheever depicts life in American suburbs with humor and compassion in a way that no other can compare to. Cheever is a self-expressive author who voices his opinion through writing quite effectively. In his novels Cheever creates his own idea of typical suburban New England life and characters. He keeps the main plot of his tales in the general area of New England but changes exact locations ranging from Falconer, to St. Boltophs, to the suburban scenery of Bullet Park, and lastly the deteriorating Beasley Pond. No matter where Cheever is basing his story he always intertwines the same general theme and .....

.... to Locke, the purpose of the government will have been defeated. Locke believed that if a government is oppressive or corrupt, the people have the right to rebel. Through this book, Orwell demonstrates that violence and the Machiavellian attitude of "the ends justifies the means" are deplorable. Rather he believes in the ideas of Montesquie in which there should be checks and balances and not one main ruler, whose decisions are final (Smyer). is a political satire of a totalitarian society ruled by a mighty dictatorship. The Animals of “Manor Farm”, inspired by Old Major, their pig mentor, overthrow their huma .....

.... watches over every move a person makes keeping them controlled with fear. The next type of irony is Situation irony, which is when a character or a sequence of events appears to be headed one way, but it ends up as the opposite of what was thought. One example of this is Winston's general health. From the beginning of the book, it is shown how horrible his health is and is continually getting worse and more difficult, but as Winston gets involved with Julia then he begins a metamorphosis into a more healthy person. Another major example is the betrayal of many of the people whom Winston thought were his friends, such as Mr. .....

.... and his spouse had gotten in to. "‘I told her she might fool me but she could fool God. I took her to the window… I said ‘God knows what you've doing, everything you've been doing. You may fool me, but you can't fool God!'" (160) The window he was looking out, was the window that directly pointed at Doctor T.J. Eckleburg. This sign that Wilson saw as watch, also watch his wife being slaughter. This was a sign symbolized God, and yet, it allowed many affairs to go which led to myrtle's death. A God with any kind of power would have stopped all the wrong in society, but the inept God, also had to show that he can not alw .....

.... especially that of Leibnitz for whom Pangloss was a follower. It seems as though Voltaire is condemming metaphysics and theology in general. "Pangloss was a professor of metaphysico-theologico-cosmolo-nigology (1). The name alone seems to poke fun at the entire branch of learning. A most appropriate example of this can be made of James, a man who takes in the starving Pangloss and Candide most generously. As the men are on a trip, he is thrown over the side of the ship off the Cape of Lisbon. Candide is about to save him but is stopped by Pangloss who tires to prove to him "a priori" that the sea off the Cape of Lisbon wa .....

.... story. Mark Twain immediately brings the story to life with his introduction of the characters and their surroundings. From here, the familiarity of the characters and setting continues to grow. The depictions of the characters, both in mannerisms and dialogue, are so picturesque that Tom's superstitions and fantasies soon cause no great surprises, Aunt Polly's religious sayings and hidden affection for her “ mischeevous” Tom come to be expected, and Sid's sly attacks on Tom appear deserving of Tom's revenge. The unique setting of St. Petersburg on the Mississippi River provides a suitable background for all of the chara .....

.... unpleasant memories and each time one surfaces he goes back or forward in time. If someone died, or something didn't go the way it should have, he leaped. When the reader finally begins to understand what's going on and where he is at a particular time, Vonnegut changes the time period. . Why does Billy's time travel? He says it's because of the Tralfamadorians. They did this to him so that he would never have to face the real world. I believe that this is from the war and its's post traumatic stress disorder. It seems that he can't handle dissatisfaction, he doesn't want to handle it. He is not out to change the future of .....
