The X-Files, X Marks The Spot: Book Report
... I didn't want to put the book down. I sometimes have trouble
trying to find a book that's actually interesting, but I didn't have any trouble
with this book. I got through the whole book fast, I was always reading it in
study hall, and trying to get as far as I could in readers workshop.
It was easy to understand. I've read a lot of science fiction books that are
very complicated. Some books have too many characters to remember, or they have
something that is really weird or unrealistic. Some science fiction books get
way too far out. This book was nothing like that.
The events were spread out well. Some science fiction books are very boring,
till the end ...

Jurassic Park: The Novel Vs.The Film
... of the various differences in the two versions of Jurassic Park is
that they have been well adjusted to suit their roles. Deeper analysis of
the novel proves this.
The first difference is how the novel starts. The opening scene is
that of a frightfully mutilated workman being brought into a medical clinic
by military officers. The author continually gives clues, such as obvious
lies by the officers about how the man's injuries occurred, that this is
not a typical attack. Soon after this incident another mysterious attack
occurs. This time a young girl is bitten by an 'unknown' lizard on a Costa
Rican beach along with many other infant deaths in the surrounding ...

Absalom: Using The Three Narratives To Understand Sutpen
... Miss Rosa begins viewing Thomas Sutpen as a demon. This view could have led to the hazy, negative image the reader gets when she tells her story. She does not necessarily hate Sutpen, she believes he is to blame for the downfall of her family. Her mind became very unorganized, and while trying to place the blame on Sutpen, her thoughts became distorted. It becomes apparent that Miss Rosa’s impression is somewhat old fashioned. This romanticism is seen in her when she becomes involved with the engagement of Charles and Judith and later with her personal involvement with Sutpen. Miss Rosa put all of her dreams into this marriage and when the relationship f ...

Eugene Ionesco's "Rhinoceros": True Means Resides In Action Not Words
... Eugene Ionesco's, Rhinoceros, is that true meaning
resides in action rather than in mere words. A resistance to taking action then
results in one's becoming a rhinoceros. Jean illustrates this in the beginning
of Act 2, scene 2, when we see Jean and Berenger bickering. Berenger feels that
Jean isn't looking or feeling well and threatens to get him a doctor. Jean
resists by saying, "You're not going to get the doctor because I don't want the
doctor. I can look after myself." (pp. 62) This refusal comes from his
arrogant view of himself as a "Master of [his] own thoughts," (pp. 61) and
"[Having] will-power!" (pp. 7) By seeing the doctor, Jean would have put
him ...

says:...Wade down to me and get in." (19). These two men are complete

never let on; kept it to myself; it's the best way; then you don't have no
quarrels, and don't get into no trouble...I hadn't no objections, 'long as
it would keep peace in the family." (19). It is now clear to Huck that
these men are not going to be ...

Character Development In Dead Poets Society
... work in many quintessential aspects.
In life people are very judgmental of others due to their actions and appearances. Such is so in Hollywood?s entertainment industry. However, in written literature, judgement is not as prevalent because the reader is permitted to invent his own opinions and use his imagination based on what the author has previously bestowed. For example, with the character of Charlie Dalton, the reader assumes that he is handsome and ?preppy?. The reader creates a picture in his (or her) mind of a very attractive, Matt Damon-type (he is so hot), above average high school male. Contradictory, in the movie, Charlie is shown as a rather aver ...

Ernist Hemingway
... of the story. He manages though to get a few bites in the form of flying fish and dolphin of which he would like to have salt on. This part of the story tells of a cold and harsh sea, that is, one that has value and mystery as well as death and danger. It has commercial value as well as the population of life in it. It is dark and treacherous though, and every day there is a challenge. A similar story tells about a tidal pool with life called `Cannery Road'. This part of the story has to deal with figures of Christ. It mainly deals with Santiago as being a figure of Christ and other characters as props, that is, characters which carry out the form of biblical th ...
