Young Goodman Brown / The Masque Of Red Death
... were all decorated as if you were in a dream. Each room was a different color where every decoration all the tapestries and all the furniture matched the color of the room.
The next idea of Romantic Literature the each story dealt with was an individuals internal psychology. In Young Goodman Brown Goodman Brown ended up living a miserable life because he couldn't deal with reality. The dream that he had changes his mind and made him believe in things that were fake but when he woke he couldn't deal with the real world. He believed what happened in the dream was reality and what ever happens in reality goes against what he learned in his dreams. So whenever norma ...

Criticism Of Practical Application Of Utopia In "Brave New World"
... of the effect of
Utopia's absence of love. In a world of bottled-births, not only is there
no need for a family, but the idea is actually considered obscene. The
terms "mother" and "father" are extremely offensive and are rarely used
except in science.
Huxley uses Mustapha Mond, the World Controller, to portray the
vulgarity when he explains the obscenity of life before Utopia to a group
of students:
And home was as squalid psychically as physically. Psychically, it was a
rabbit hole, a midden, hot with the frictions of tightly packed life,
reeking with emotion. What suffocating intimacies, what dangerous, insane,
obscene relationships between the member ...

Demien Realism
... an alcoholic but how he is knocked out of that spiral is quite contrived. All of a sudden after just seeing a girl in the park Emil is able to completely change his life around. People work hard for years in rehabilitation centers to fight alcoholism and still even after beating it cannot have another drink in their life but Emil sees this one girl in the park and is instantly changed. Also Emil is so completely changed that later on he is capable of having a drink with Demian and still does not go back to his old ways. However this is very unrealistic and goes against common sense completely.
Hermann Hesse does however do an excellent job in foreshadowing t ...

A Perfect Day For Bananafish
... a matter of material greed, especially in the west, and materialism. On the other hand, his own spiritual problem is more a matter of intellectual greed and true spiritualism.
In addressing the suicide, the difference should be distinguished between the "See More Glass" that we see through little Sybil’s eyes, and the Seymour Glass that we see through the eyes of the adult world. Even though these two characters are in theory the same man, they are slightly different in some ways. You could also say that they are the same character in different stages of development. Whatever the case may be, the "reasons" for the suicide shift slightly in emphasis as ...

Catcher In The Rye 5
... his inability to remain in one school, and his ongoing dislike of many people and their morals, Holden has been driven to depression in which he dispenses to a psycoanaylgist throughout the novel.
Through his novel, Salinger incorporated the theme reality verses allusion, to demonstrate how the mind of some adolescents are so unwilling to face the truths of society. As stated above, Holden wishes to accomplish an futile task, save children from growing up, and protect them from the corruption of adulthood. The following presents an example of Holden's inability to grasp the differences between reality and allusion. "Somebody written 'Fuck You' on the wall. I ...

The Glass Menagerie: Symbols
... he does not like to be inside, to be a part of the illusionary world. Laura, on the other hand, thinks of the fire escape as a way in and not a way out. This can be seen when Amanda sends Laura to go to the store: Laura trips on the fire escape. This also shows that Laura's fears and emotions greatly affect her physical condition, more so than normal people.
Another symbol presented deals more with Tom than any of the other characters: Tom's habit of going to the movies shows us his longing to leave the apartment and head out into the world of reality. A place where one can find adventure. And Tom, being a poet, can understand the needs of man to long for ...

"A Man For All Seasons": Common Attitude
... by many in
the world today, is the wrong way to think. The man says to survive in the
world one must leave behind their morals, and to forget their conscience.
While this may lead to temporary happiness in life, it may lead to eternal
punishment after death. In the modern world, this philosophy is still the
best way to go for some. Today, another teen-ager is abusing an illegal
drug because "everyone else is doing it." If the teen does the drug, then
his personal life will be better because he has gained more friends. Even
though he knows that it is illegal and thus, morally wrong, he takes the
easiest route, and "goes with the flow."

Red Badge Of Courage
... Jim Conklin. John was as excited about going to war as Henry, while Jim was confident about the success of the new regiment.

He felt like a servant doing whatever his superiors told him. When the regiment finally discovers a battle taking place, Jim gives Henry a little ...

The Lost World: Private Interview With Dr. Ian Malcolm
... to go with Dr. Levine
as a safety precaution. If there were dinosaurs on the island I could help
Richard setup more quickly. I also thought that if they had someone with
experience with dinosaurs it would be to their advantage.
3. After the first excursion to "Jurassic Park," the dinosaurs were
destroyed, why is that?
We all had to make a choice. We agreed that silence was the best
option. The evidence of there ever having been dinosaurs on the island had
to be destroyed so that no one would ever know about the park. It was just
too dangerous, perhaps when we have means of controlling the dinosaurs we
might try to bring them back again.
4. The dino ...
