... 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 many people see that the unfairness of life and the insignificance of our free will are apparently the most important themes in the book, but I don't agree. I also don't agree that it is a war story or a love story. Exactly what it is, though, is not clear to me. Can't art exist without being anything? "T ...

... Revolution. It was an admirable result." Human nature depends upon the environment in which they are immersed. The idea that children, not humans in general, are swayed by the ideas and actions of their parental figures is also a central idea of the book, "The Lord of the Flies" by William Golding. Because of the war in England where the boys were from their human experience was one of war. If there was no war going on in England at the time they were evacuated from England, there would've been no deaths, no Lord of the Flies, and certainly no beast. Because if they had came with a good human nature then how would there have been a beast which Golding c ...

... From what I understand the tree symbolizes Francie, and the book title means Francie (The tree) grows up in Brooklyn, simple enough? So as Betty Smith (The author) talks about the tree’s determination to grow no matter what odds are against it, she’s talking about Francie and her iron will to get an education and make things easier for her family. At the end of the book Francie is getting ready for some big occasion and she looks across the lot and sees herself 7 years ago when she was ten and still lugging junk to Carney’s for pennies. She calls out to the girl saying “Hello Francie!” and then the girl gets a defensive and starts ...

... disagreement, suffering - none of these feelings is allowed in the world which Huxley creates. At the first sign of unhappiness, Soma is prescribed. Emotions of all types are strictly controlled to provide stability and predictability within the population. Another of the panaceas for social ills is the belief that everyone would enjoy his or her work because he or she was "made" or trained for it when young. Consequently, from birth, everyone in Brave New World is slotted to belong to a specific social and intellectual strata. In conjunction with this idea, all births are completely planned and monitored. There are different classes of people with diff ...

... there are also many ironic situations in the story itself. The irony starts when, in the begining of the story, the three rioters make a pact to “be brothers” and “each defend the others” and “to live and die for one another” in protection from Death, (lines 37-43) and then in going out to fulfill their vow, they end up finding money, and killing each other over it. Even more ironic, is how they end up killing each other. After finding the money, the men plan to stay with it until it becomes dark and they can safely take it away. To tide themselves over until then, they send the youngest one out to get food and wine, and while he is away they plan to kill for h ...

The structure of the story is from 3 different views, one is the victim' ...

... were probably the most disturbing. Fred, Scrooge's own flesh and blood, began mocking his own uncle in a game he and his guests played. In a way this is when Scrooge began to realize that the truth hurts, and the truth was his life was a terrible mess of loneliness and misery. He knew if he didn't do something soon his testimony to life would be much like the things his nephew said about him in the game played at the party. Then there was the Cratchit's who seemed to be more grateful towards Scrooge, a man who gave them barely enough money to buy food and shelter, then they really should have been. At first when Scrooge sees Bob stand to toast him he's al ...

He refuses to display the portrait of Dorian Gray with the explanation that, "I have put too much of myself into it" (Wilde ...
