OLIVER TWIST SUMMARY
Number of words: 333 | Number of pages: 2.... into account his audience when he wrote this book. He must have known that not everyone who would read his great work of literature would not know well the complete history of the Russian Revolution. Taking this idea into account, I think he could have somehow made it possible for a person who did not know about the Russian revolution to be able to understand the main purpose of the writing. Not many people can just automatically realize that he is warning about the dangers of a totalitarian reign of power. He could have somehow made the main purpose of his great book more easily understandable. .....

The Great Gatsby
Number of words: 575 | Number of pages: 3.... based on beauty and not friendship. The placement of the above
quote was essential because it allows us to experience early in the novel how Gatsby had a
relationship with Daisy. This first example of flashback by Fitzgerald proves to be
effective and its placement essential because of the way it is used in the play.
A second example of flashback that Fitzgerald uses is on page 104. Here, Nick

Jay because James sounded to plain and it would not impress someone of Daisy’s status.
It also explains Gatsby’s childhood. This is an ef .....

The Character Of Macbeth
Number of words: 1826 | Number of pages: 7.... motive which
should energize back of his great deed:
The service and the loyalty I owe,
In doing it, pays itself.
But while he destroys the king's enemies, such motives work
but dimly at best and are obscured in his consciousness by
more vigorous urges. In the main, as we have said, his nature
violently demands rewards: he fights valiantly in order that

spectacular fame and new titles and royal favor heaped upon
him in public. Now so long as these mutable goods are at all
commensurate with his inordinate desi .....

Digging By Seamus Heaney
Number of words: 1163 | Number of pages: 5.... of turf-cutters in his day. So when Heaney writes, ‘But I’ve no spade to follow men like them.’
This could be because of a number of reasons; one could be that he just doesn’t want to be a turf digger. He might not find it mentally stimulating enough. But he shows a lot of pride in what his Father and Grandfather do and did for a living. It may be because turf cutters are no longer needed. In other words the world is changing and ‘men like them’ are no longer needed.

1984 Vs. Brave New World
Number of words: 1361 | Number of pages: 5.... of only strict and rigid meanings. Individual
thought is completely impossible because the constricted vocabulary is intended
to include only principles of the Newspeak language. The vocabulary is
constructed so that words of unorthodox meaning such as “individual freedom”
are eliminated all together. Newspeak is designed to douse the flame of
thought and idea, while encouraging collective ideas. Over time, Newspeak
destroys any variation of idea from the intention of the “Party’s”. Literature is also slowly altered so that the author’s original meaning is lost to the meanin .....

To Work Or Not To Work?
Number of words: 729 | Number of pages: 3.... think that it is valuable to meet different people and to become involved in school activities.
While at work last semester, I met a lot of new people and learned how to work with others. At Rent Grow, I use communication skills while answering phones and speaking to our customers. This will aid me in the future with job interviews. I also learned that attendance is extremely important. If you do not show up or come to work late that you are penalized a half hour of pay. From this I have come to realize that attendance in anything that is important to you, like school for example, should always be considered critical.

her to pursue any other lifestyle. She demonstrates this by saying, "It's
far better than any other employment open to [women]... It can't be right,
Vivie, that there shouldn't be better opportunities for women." Shaw is
attempting to evoke sympathy for the character of Mrs. Warren by pitting
her against a society that is against her. He is quite obviously in favor
of the actions that Mrs. Warren has taken, as demonstrated by the very
reasonable rationalization for what she has done and the approving reaction
of her daughter Vivie.
While it can be seen that Shaw approves of .....
