Wuthering Heights And The Them
... narration of the story is also very unique and divergent because there are multiple narrators. Bronte’s character Lockwood is used to narrate the introductory and concluding sections of the novel whereas Nelly Dean narrates most of the storyline. It’s interesting that Nelly Dean is used because of her biased opinions. In addition, the structure of Wuthering Heights displays a uniqueness. Just as Elizabethan plays have five acts, Wuthering Heights is composed of two “acts,” the times before and after Catherine’s death. However, unlike stereotypical novels, Wuthering Heights has no true heroes or villains. “Although this w ...

Sexuality In Wiseblood
... body of an obese naked woman squirming in a casket lined with black cloth. He leaves the scene quickly.
This first bout with sexuality was certainly a grotesque one, and one which, perhaps, helped fortify his resolve not to experiment with sex for years to come. Haze reacted to the incident on different levels. Before watching the "show," he was filled with curiosity. So badly he wanted to view this "EXclusive" show. After glancing at the body, he first thought that it was a skinned animal. When he realized what it was, he at once left the tent, ashamed, and perhaps frightened of the object before his eyes.
Hazel’s reaction was not unnatural. The sight with which h ...

Lord Of The Flies: Jack And Roger
... his knife and this is only the beginning of the change in his
behavior. Jack's wanting of meat turns into obvious bloodlust later on in the
novel, for example he kills the mother pig without even thinking if it was
wrong: "Kill the pig, cut her throat, bash her head in!". Jack's decapitation
of the dead mother pig proves that he is no longer the Jack that could not kill
the pig but a much more blood-thirsty one that only wants to kill and not be
rescued. Although Jack is not satanic like Roger, he loses all sense of reason,
he is nevertheless a killer. Jack tries his best to do what is best for the
boys but his power hunger actually makes the situation much ...

Comparison Of Book And Movie "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest"
... a crazy Indian who doesn't want to talk so
pretends to be deaf and dumb. Much of the understanding and respect is
lost in the transition between book and movie. In the book, Bromden has
flashbacks to his childhood, lighting on significant points in his
childhood. His background is never even brushed upon in the movie. Of
course it would have been nearly impossible to tell of Bromdens life in a
movie, much less show the world from his point of view as in the book.
Bromden is still a very interesting character but the real puzzle to his
problems is lost.
McMurphy is a very sly, cunning man. He knows how to play his game
and does it well. In the book as McMur ...

Animal Farm: Utopia
... the animals. (p.19) This speech gets all the
animals riled up and sends the toughts of getting rid of man. Old Major
then teaches them the song the Beasts of England which teaches them the
"great" life without man and with no more bad leaders:
Beasts of England, beasts of Ireland,
Beasts of every land and clime,
Hearken to my joyful tidings,
Of the golden future time.
Soon or late the day is coming,
Tyrant Man shall be o'erthrown,
And the fruitful fields of England,
Shall be trod by beasts alone.
Rings shall vanish from our noses,
And the harness from our back,
Bit and spur ...

Amy Foster By Joseph Conrad An
... Yanko's death. There is a great change of heart from Amy's first compassion for Yanko to her nonchalance of his death. However, the results may have only been a product of the different levels of love felt by Amy for Yanko. The general population of Brenzett treats Yanko an escaped lunatic when he is first spotted in the seaside town. He is whipped, stoned and beaten by many of the residents. In addition, he was captured and caged like a wild animal. He is described as a "drunk", "tramp", and "creature". He is very different from the usual Englishman and is treated as such. He is segregated and is forced to work for Mr. Swaffer. However, one person sees through th ...

Daddy, Vampires, Black Hearts ( An Insite Into A Life )
... begin in her relationship with her father and continues with her husband. The intensity of this conflict is extremely apparent as she uses examples that cannot be ignored. The atrocities of NAZI' Germany are used as symbols of the horror of male domination. The constant and crippling manipulation of the male, as he introduces oppression and hopelessness into the lives of his women, is equated with the twentieth century's worst period. Words such as Luftwaffe, panzerman, and Meinkampf look are used to descibe her father and husband as well as all male domination. The frequent use of the word black throughout the poem conveys a feeling of gloom and suffocation ...

The Joy Luck Club: Relationship Between Mother And Daughter
... the period of time during which their personalities were molded, giving the reader a better sense of their "true" selves, since later in the book the daughters view their mothers in a different and unflattering light. Tan does this so the reader can see the stories behind both sides and so as not to judge either side unfairly. This section, titled Feathers From a Thousand Li Away, is aptly named, since it describes the heritage of the mothers in China, a legacy that they wished to bestow on their daughters, as the little story in the beginning signifies. For many years, the mothers did not tell their daughters their stories until they were sure that their waywar ...
