1984: Dystopian Visions
... in any
way. The Inner Party had planned the destiny of Oceania and its people;
they were systematically tailoring their society to meet their needs.
Their issue was not just of power, but rather absolute control. To achieve
absolute control over people is a powerful concept. Peoples minds become
distorted and their original objectives are left behind. The Party thought
they were doing things for the good of the people, when really all they
were doing was killing them. They were smothering them with rules and
regulations, depriving them of their natural born right to be able to marry,
have a family and indulge in the fruits of life. Is this the type of
future ...

The Reaper's Image
... ends with Carlin waiting for Spangler to return.
I thought that this story was very good, because it started off really
slow and worked it's way into a really interesting plot. I liked the end
because it never really finished, it left the ending up to the reader. This
seems to be a common theme in a lot of Stephen King's stories. He likes to
leave the reader in suspense, and keep them wondering.
Here There Be Tygers
This story is about a little boy named Charles who is in elementary
school. He has to go to the bathrrom really bad, but he is afraid to ask
because the teacher does not like him. Finally the teacher sees him squirming

The Functions Of Setting In “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place”
... locale on their own.
Hemingway writes, "It was late and everyone had left the café except an old man who sat in the shadow the leaves of the tree made against the electric light. In the day time the street was dusty, but at night the dew settled the dust and the old man liked to sit late because he was deaf and now at night it was quiet and he felt the difference” (141). He quickly establishes the fact that it late at night and most people have either fallen asleep or have at least headed home for the night. From this one sentence it is also evident that the café is lit by an electric light that is bright enough to casts a crisp shad ...

A Rose For Emily
... tax collectors “See Colonel Sartoris. I have no taxes in Jefferson.” The fact that the tax collectors could not see Colonel Sartoris is because Colonel Sartoris had been dead almost ten years. Even the furniture that she had was not updated. Emily’s parlor was furnished with heavy, leather-covered furniture that was cracked from not being used. She had been trapped in the ways “Old South”, and did not care to change as time went by.
Another factor that showed Miss Emily was not interested in change is when Jefferson came up with a mail system. This new mail system that the people of Jefferson created included putting brass numb ...

Voltaire And Rousseau - Opioni
... to abuse it and remain unchecked. He states that the system of government that was found by the end of 1810 was not successful in fulfilling the goals that the revolution strived for. Rather than give citizens rights and freedoms, the state of the nation was quite similar to that with which it started. From the divine ruler Louis XIV to Napoleon, French citizens were still under an absolute ruler. At that moment, Rousseau interrupts by saying that the general will, while representing the people, must be controlled by the state in order to ensure that the needs of all the people are met. Deciding to take turns speaking to allow for a proper debate, Voltaire b ...

A Doll's House: Changing View Of The Role Of Women
... seek
out her individuality.
David Thomas describes the initial image of Nora as that of a doll
wife who revels in the thought of luxuries that can now be afforded, who
is become with flirtation, and engages in childlike acts of disobedience
(259). This inferior role from which Nora progressed is extremely
important. Ibsen in his "A Doll's House" depicts the role of women as
subordinate in order to emphasize the need to reform their role in society.
Definite characteristics of the women's subordinate role in a
relationship are emphasized through Nora's contradicting actions. Her
infatuation with luxuries such as expensive Christmas gifts contradi ...

rally in a town, then they all packed up, and moved it to Wounded Knee.
Wounded Knee was the sight of a terrible massacre in the late

was a resistance. The soldiers opened fire on the Natives, and over three
quarters of the natives were killed.
There, at Wounded Knee, The natives set up road blocks meant to

Animal Farm: Political Satire
... book begins in the barnyard of Mr. Jones' "Manor Farm". The animals congregate at a meeting led by the prize white boar, Major. Major points out to the assembled animals that no animal in England is free. He further explains that the products of their labor is stolen by man, who alone benefits.
