Our Man Lemuel

... For example, he's not steady; this unsteadiness as a narrator leads us to question the validity of what Gulliver tells us. This means that we have to be on our guard against what he says, and even though he's our guide, we can't follow him everywhere, which is just what Swift wanted. Gulliver makes many apologies for himself and his actions and puts us the reader emotionally involved in the story. Gulliver seems to direct a good deal of hostility toward us, creating a tinge of hostility back at him. Ultimately, Gulliver works as a nar ...

The Right To Privacy By Robert Bork.

... displays a need for Supreme Court judges to be able to interpret laws from the Constitution. Without this ability it would be doubtful if people today could claim a general right to privacy. The Griswald case involved a bizarre law that forbade the use of condoms in the hope that it would prevent adulterous affairs. This deduction is as absurd as banning all sales of chocolate in order to prevent obesity. Robert Bork admitted that this law did not make sense, especially in the ability of government officials to enforce the law. Yet ...

Moby Dick

... of debts and misfortunes. After a short time in a business house in New York City, Herman determined he needed to go to sea. He spent years traveling on a variety of ships, including whaling ships. C1. Melville's perspective on life is that God created the universe with an infinite number of meanings and man is always trying to determine one specific meaning. D2. The “lessons” that Melville is likely to weave into his writing are 1. An exposition on whales and the whaling industry. 2. A commentary on the universe and human destin ...

Symbolism In Camus' "The Plague"

... for their own lives, happiness, and decency. Through the eyes of all of his characters, the author answers questions like: "Why be optimistic?", "Why be moral?", "Why live if we are just going to die?", and "Why hope?". Camus contends that there are human values that are good in themselves; it is just good to be moral. In this essay I plan to connect the characters, symbolism, and my personal feelings and values with this idea. Such evidence as people being good to a neighbor in time of need or people volunteering to adopt a family for ...

Rules Of Prey: Serial Killers

... Crimes. The Maddog exhibits precise behavior and repeated actions which make his classification more simple and understandable. He certainly fits a represented category of serial killer. Serial killers must fulfill certain conditions to be considered as such. First, there must be repetition. A person who has murdered once does not fit the profile of serial murderer. Second, the murderer must operate in one on one encounters. He/she does not involve other parties; the murderer encounters the victim alone and has no accessories in the ki ...

Billy Budd: A Story Of True Goodness

... Budd and John Claggart are opposing forces. Billy Budd who is described as “strength and beauty. Tales of his prowess recited. Ashore he the champion, afloat the spokesman; on every suitable occasion always foremost.” John Claggart, a man “in whom was the mania of an evil nature, not engendered by vicious training or corrupting books or licentious living but born with him and innate, in short ‘a depravity according to nature.’” These two people who are clearly on opposite sides of the spectrum contrast one another in a ple ...

... discriminatory views and treatment towards women. It also distinctly indicates dissatisfaction that women felt in ir lives.

Because of time she lived in, Edna felt oppressed just because she was a woman. Being a married woman and a mor made her feel even more tied down. By looking at r ...

Moby Dick And The Scarlet Letter: Unpardonable Sin

... since the unpardonable sin is an obviously keystone theme in The Scarlet Letter, that theme deserves clear understanding. Furthermore in Moby Dick, considered by some the greatest American novel, the theme of the unpardonable sin can be found. If Hawthorne’s unpardonable sin extends to Moby Dick, then the importance of understanding what Hawthorne intended is of wider importance. Secondly, I believe that the meaning and significance of the unpardonable sin is, derived, in part, from social influences of the industrialization of society. Th ...

Biographical Influences In The Great Gatsby

... due to his horrible downfall in The Vetable (Eble 86). "The Great Gatsby does not proclaim the nobility of the human spirit; it is not politically correct; it does not reveal how to solve problems of life; it delivers no fashionable or comforting messages. It is just a master piece" (Bruccoli Preface). The Great Gatsby was a book that was written for a younger audience, and written by an author of his time period (Bruccoli ix). The biographical influences of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby are shown through not only Nick Ca ...

To Kill A Mocking Bir

... down, it would probably have been more interesting. The second difference was in terms of emotions. The book was more emotional than the movie because it was more descriptive. When Tom Robinson was convicted for a rape that he did not even commit, the book made the situation more dramatic because of how well it was described. The book was less emotional because the event just occurred. There were no in-depth descriptions of the situation. Another example of this point was when Boo Radley had saved Jem and Scout from Mr. Ewell. Wh ...

A Freudian Turn Of The Screw

... center of consciousness point of view. Although Henry James never committed to ghost story or psychological meanings, it is almost too obvious that there were hidden messages. Henry James can capture a reader by the imagination and hard thinking. There is enough evidence to convince proponents of either opinion. It’s probably not so much the evidence as it is the predilection of the proponent that determines their choice. A person who has an imaginative soul or who finds it easy to rise above the mundane restrictions of everyday life wou ...
