Waiting For Godot

... express a feeling of waiting and unsureness. There is a twofold purpose behind this technique. For one, it shows that Vladimir and Estragon, the two main characters who are waiting for Godot, are unsure of why they are waiting for him. This also foreshadows that they will be waiting a very long time. In some cases in literature, an idea can only be conveyed properly if those on the receiving end of the idea are able to experience the feelings that a character is experiencing in the work.

Stereotyping Lord Of The Flies

... as well as on society. Stereotyping is when we separate ourselves from others who are different from us. Stereotypes are impressions of entire groups of people. They are more powerful and dangerous than individual impressions because they involve the false assumption that all members of a group share the same characteristics. When you take a group of friends, or people that hang out together and automatically assume they are all alike, you are stereotyping them. You must consider peoples different personalities and traits to fully un ...

Lord Of The Flies - Civilized Vs. Savage

... can be best described by the following: to do something and expecting immediate results. The result for savage behaviour is that it leads to distractions from what is important (in this novels case, getting rescued) and disregard of others.

Antigone - A Contrast Of Two T

... Antigone. This play was written around 441 BC. A translator must take caution in the reproduction of a play as classic as Antigone because any version of it that strays too far from the original will lose the mystique and grandeur of a play written in such a different time. The antiquity of the play may also prove beneficial to the translator, however, because it is this which enables him to have extensive creative license; no one alive today can claim to know exactly how the play is intended to be read. This opportunity for individual ...

Analysis Of Platos Simile Of T

... past. Plato describes men as being chained in a dark subterranean chamber with their eyes permanently turned to a screen before them, upon which pass the shadows of men living and working in the world of light. Since the prisoners in the underground cave have never known reality other than those shadows, they take them for all that actually is “the whole truth”, and if voices from the world above do reach them, they believe it is the shadows speaking. In comparison of this to our government today, many similarities can be seen. ...

... such as poems, novels, letters and art. In any form it will have an impact on the reader and will often shape or change the reader's views on areas of human life. Three of the main areas which literature will effect are the religious, social and personal view of the reader. It is often people who have strong and high views in these areas that will have a big say in what is classified as literature.

Another way that Atticus shows courage is by defending Tom Robinson. No other man in Maycomb would defend him. Atticus stood up for what he believed in, and did the right thing. Also, Jem shows a lot of courage throughout the novel. He was the one that touched Boo’s house and also went to his house late at night to go to the Ra ...

Children Stories

... the attention of readers of all ages. To begin with, Roald Dahl creates numerous amounts of outrageously imaginative situations that make each one of his novels unique and exciting to read. For example, in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Grandpa Joe expresses his amazement that "people are actually going to be allowed to go inside the factory"(p.21), which creates a tension in the readers mind of how incredible the chocolate factory actually is. The chocolate factory is where all the imaginative situations occur in this novel. The chocola ...
