A Clockwork Orange 3

... to Burgess, in the reduction of the novel from fiction to fable, something untrue to life. Human beings change, and Burgess wanted his protagonist to mature rather than stay in adolescent aggression. The twenty-first chapter shows this change, and the chapter is important because it includes Alex's mature assessment of his own adolescence and shows the importance of maturity to moral freedom which is Burgess's main point. Burgess has presented his definition of moral freedom in both his introduction and in his novel. Burgess's definitio ...

Oroonoko

... . To see any negative view of the slave-trade, the reader must turn to the perspective of . Through him the reader sees how horrible the treatment of slaves is and how inhuman the slave-trade is. It might escape me, but I do not recall any moment in the story where the narrator takes its upon herself to discuss the slave trade. It seems that in that way that she is disconnecting herself from any responsibility. One could immediately say that this is because of her position at the time. Behn, being a woman, faced many prejudices from ...

Dr No

... Russia With Love, For Your Eyes Only, Diamonds Are Forever, Moonraker, and Thunderball. Eventually Hollywood caught on and James Bond hit the big screen with Dr. No. Based on the book starring Sean Connery and Ursula Andrews. The film Dr. No was more action packed than the book by Ian Fleming because of action scenes, plot, and settings. In the 90's and perhaps for many years past the new millenium action is a four-letter word, Bond. James Bond symbolizes everything a modern man wants to be, handsome, with action in is life, and always ...

Thomas Vs. Moore

... Plato's Republic. In Utopia, everyone gets "more than enough to produce plenty of everything that's needed for a comfortable life". "There's no such thing as private property". "The smallest social unit is the household, which is virtually synonymous with the family". Utopia is a nation in which everyone is educated. "Lunch and supper begin with a piece of improving literature read aloud". More based his ideal society on the premise that each person is to "cultivate his mind - which they regard as the secret of a happy life". In Plato's ...

Red Dress

... one sick. It is said that she did not take care of herself in the house, and exposed her lumpy veins to the in-house public. This probably made the narrator think that she is also ugly because she came from this disgusting creature. This makes her attitude towards the dance understandable. When Mason Williams comes to dance with her, she describes dancing with a 'nobody' like her was "as offensive to him as having to memorize Shakespeare." The narrator's school life was just as bad if not worse. She would never be sure of herself when she is ...

A Farewell To Arms

... the baby and Henry's sudden solitude. "What happens now?" I felt, as I so often do when I finish a book that I want to go on forever. This is infinitely more difficult with a book that has no conclusion, and FTA leaves a reader not only emotionally exhausted but also just as alone as Henry and with nowhere to go. The entire work was aware of where it was going and what was going to happen next, and then to stop the way it did was unfair. Now, I've read enough essays while deciding which would be the topic for my class presentation that I know ...

... who actually succeed, are forgotten about in a matter of years. However, some are remembered for tens, hundreds, and even thousands of years, because of their great intellectual achievement to feats of outstanding skill. Gilgamesh is not only a character of a story; he is actually a portrayal of people and how they act out of human nature. He, like many of us, does not want his existence to end when he leaves this world. He is not content with what he has, good looks, money, and power, and desires more in life. The is a story that we, ...

In Search Of Our Mothers Garde

... they became “Saints.” Instead of being perceived as whole persons, their bodies became shrines: what were thought to be their minds became temples suitable for worship. These crazy Saints stared out at the world, wildly, like lunatics – or quietly, like suicides; and the “God” that was in their gaze was as mute as a great stone. This attitude towards women, especially black women, as being a sexual object presents a sensitive subject. We are presented with an image of black women as helpless beings, and the only form of arti ...

Of Mice And Men

... that Lennie is a huge creature and as big a man as you will ever see but its not the size of one that makes a man, it's the heart and mind of a one. In a way Lennie is the mouse because of his innocence and George is a man because of the burden he carries with him. By giving George the last name of Milton, Steinbeck seems to be showing that he is an example of fallen man, someone who is doomed to loneliness and who wants to return to the Garden of Eden. Perhaps this is why George is always talking about having his own place and living "off ...

... and painter. He says that his presence (the duke) is causing the happiness of the duchess in a painting that the Fra Pandolf is painting. The line says “Sir, ‘twas not her husband’s presence only, called that spot of joy into the Duchess Cheek (Lines 13-15).” Just by reading this remark you know that the duke is a self-centered person that wants attention for him. In lines 34-35 he talks of how his duchess would thank every man that would please her in some sort of way. The duke gets upset at this and says that & ...
