... how could civilization ever make advancements? The great thinkers would not be able to envision new ideas because of the mental handicap radios they had to wear in their ears. Technology would come to a stand still with the gifted not being able to finish a complete thought because of the sharp sounds produced by the mental handicaps. With the handicaps imposed there would not the breakthroughs that are needed to improve the population's way of life. Suppose someone did not have the ability to invent the automobile. It would be difficult to commute to school or work. Imagine if you had to walk to work every day no matter how bad the weather is. Now-a-days pe ...

... that she has because it makes people unable to think for themselves and it also leads to destruction. One example of this is when Nurse Ratched caught one of the patients (Billy Bibbit) with a woman. The nurse feeling the need to control Billy threatened to tell his mother. Billy begged Nurse Ratched not to tell her but when his requests were refused Billy slashed his neck with a broken bottle and killed himself. Billy's life was destroyed because of Nurse Ratched's need to control others. Another place that we see the dark world is when we examine the relationship between Nurse Ratched and R.P. McMurphy. McMurphy is a happy and rebellious man. He is not us ...

... father unwillingly provides information on this matter that results in a brief but not detailed discussion. From this discussion Brian concludes that the father pigeon places the baby in the egg and the baby pigeons grow while the mother pigeon is laying the egg. When the baby pigeon grows as much as it needs to grow, it hatches out of the egg. This explanation leaves Brian quite confused and uninformed of natures way to reproduce. At this stage Brian seems to understand that humans and animals reproduce babies the same way. Brian's second encounter with birth is again with Forbsie as the two experiences the birth of rabbits. Brian's knowledge of birth is fur ...

... blessings” and “darlings”. Nora thinks of her children as something sort of like a plaything, a doll maybe. Her description of their “red cheeks! -- like apples and roses” emphasizes the children’s doll like appearance, with an imagery of bright red cheeks like those painted on dolls. Nora even goes as far as calling her baby her “sweet little baby doll.” Her throwing the children’s things around shows her carelessness to realize that she is the mother of her children, not their owner like one who owns toys. She acts like a kid playing with her toys, not as much as an adult taking care of her children. She plays hide and seek with emphatically, which shows her ...

... name of the village the story takes place in is symbolic - Starkfield (Ousby 154). Every feature of the landscape seems to relate directly back to the people of the town, whether it be the town as a whole or a specific place. For example, Starkfield was a dreary town, "buried under snow, silent and incommunicative as the characters (Nevius 136)." Even Ethan’s farmhouse was symbolic of himself. The "L" of the farmhouse was like that of his own body, shrunken and weak (Nevius 136). Ethan himself represented Wharton’s idea of a honorable man in the nineteenth century. He has admirable qualities, such as integrity, ambition, and wisdom (Magill 531). It is his sens ...

... of government to achieve this order. Ralph understands that the boys have to be given respect and must all be treated equally. He acknowledges that he is not superior to any of the other boys, which makes him a better leader. His leadership provides peace and order to the island. Under Jack's rule, the boys become uncivilized savages. They have no discipline. The meetings that Ralph calls restore a sense of order because the boys have to wait until they hold the conch to speak. Ralph says, "I'll give the conch to the next person to speak. He can hold it when he's speaking." (Ch. 2, Pg. 36, Line 24-25). This quote proves that Ralph is trying to keep some order. Ra ...

... New World supports Eddy's beliefs on the importance of humanities in society because of unethical genetic experimentation and the character's lack of individuality. The society of Brave New World has gained the knowledge to produce babies much like their God, Henry Ford, produced the Model T. They have taken this technology and exploited it for their own benefit. They have created with their hands without using their head or heart. Scientists toy with the embryos, cutting off oxygen to those predestined to become lower caste members. Those chosen to work as rocket plane engineers were in constant rotation during the embryonic phase of their life. "Doing repai ...

... meat industries. He wanted to make the people feel safe and to get good quality food. Upton Sinclair said, "I aimed at the public's heart, and by accident I hit it in the Stomach" (Blinderman 60). When he said this he was talking about how he exposed the meat industry. Also he made the legislation change. There were some critics on the reasoning Sinclair used in "The Jungle". "His reasoning so false, he is naïve in his disregard of human nature". Also "…his conclusions so perverted that the only effect can be only to disgust many honest sensible folk with the very terms he used so glibly" (Blinderman 103). Sinclair's book "The Jungle" effected the business o ...

... incapable of raising a rebellious boy like Huck Finn. Nevertheless, they attempt to make Huck into what they believe will be a better boy. Specifically, they attempt, as Huck says, to "sivilize" him. This process includes making Huck go to school, teaching him various religious facts, and making him act in a way that the women find socially acceptable. Huck, who has never had to follow many rules in his life, finds the demands the women place upon him constraining and the life with them lonely. As a result, soon after he first moves in with them, he runs away. He soon comes back, but, even though he becomes somewhat comfortable with his new life as the ...

... Henry Clerval. Even though Victors young life seams perfect it is all about to change. Victor's mother died when he was still young and her death would change him for the rest of his life. After Victor's mother's death Victor swore he would conquer the mortality of humans. Victor, once he was out of medical school, he began to work on his theory of conquering death. He collected numerous body parts and put them together and used a special technique to bring the corpse to life. At first Victor thought he had failed, but the creature sat up and was alive. Victor was horrified by his own creation and fled his laboratory. The monster then disappeared ...
