Analysis Of The Machine That W
... war, he had been hiding a secret. It
was the fact that some of its (Multivac’s) data might have been unreliable.
This conflict, as you will note later, helped win the war.
The great computer was capable of creating a direct battle plan which
Earth forces could use to attack their enemies. However, with Henderson
inputting faulty data, this caused some of the battle plans to be unreliable. His
internal conflict between himself losing his job and wanting to keep it made
him jingle with the programming until it seemed right.
This foreshadowing helps the reader to see that someone is going to
have to act upon Henderson’s faults if the war is to be won. Swift ...

Pride And Prejudice
... woman. Also, once Mr. Bennet dies, Mr. Collins is due to inherit his entire estate. Therefore, a man who is supported by that amount of money would seem to be quite a catch, to someone with less money. However, after listening to him talk, it is quickly revealed that he is utterly ignorant. On the other hand, Charlotte is his complete opposite. Charlotte is an extremely sensible and intelligent girl, but she has little money. Although Mr. Collins could obviously never satisfy Charlotte as a husband, Charllote agrees to marry him for his money. Hence the original understanding of the quotation at the start of the novel seems to be justified. Mr. Darcy also seems ...

King Lear As A Tragic Hero
... and lies to the king saying
that she loves him with all of her heart. Finally, Cordelia tells her
father that she could not tell him how much she loves him, because she
had no words. The king was very upset with Cordelia and because of his
madness towards Cordelia thinking that she did not love him as much as
her other sisters, he divided the land in two and gave Reagan and
Goneril each half. Cordelia on the other hand received nothing as her
dowry and in turn no none would marry her except the King of France.
Giving the land to the two daughters was the first of Lear's mistakes,
for the daughters did not love him as much as Cordelia did, b ...

The Short Story Theories Of Ed
... and it is directly related through thought and emotional drive.
Ejxenbaum uses much less opinion in his explanation of the differing styles of short fiction and those of novels. The novel is based off a history, or of travels, while the short story, which is generally more fundamental in form, is based off folklore and anecdotes. The short story must be written on the basis of a contradiction or contrast, and carries the weight of the story at the ending. The action of a novel falls before the ending, with a falling action following.
Poe speaks of unity of effect, and how it is not appreciated or understood by the common mind, but also how it is important to t ...

Allegory Of The Cave Analysis
... Their “bodily eye” tells them that this world is real because their senses perceive so. Plato suggests that the senses do not perceive actual truth.
The “mind’s eye” is not active inside the cave because the prisoners are imprisoned in this distorted world, which they believe is reality. When one prisoner is pulled out of the cave and into the light, it is this sudden freedom that starts the gradual process of enlightenment. This sudden freedom opens the “mind’s eye”. The prisoner “will be able to see the sun, and not mere reflections of him in the water, but he will see him in his own proper place, and not in another; and he will contemplate him as he is” ...

Analyzing The Struggle For Power In Four Novels: Fahrenheit 451, Invisible Man Lord Of The Flies And Julius Caesar
... eventually
lost the battle, there was still a victor in the struggle for power: their
government.
In the novel Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, the main struggle for
power deals with the government. This overly oppressive, almost Orwellian style
bureaucracy, tries to make sure there is no interaction with books at all. They
believe that books permeate their society and corrupt the minds of the people.
Unannounced searches of property by "firemen" are not at all uncommon. At the
slightest inkling of this futuristic contraband, these firemen will rummage
through all of one's property, at times, destroying everything in their path.
On the opposite side of that ...

Indian Camp
... wants to be born and she wants it to be born. All her muscles are trying to get the baby born. That is what is happening when she screams.” This is a rather direct way of telling your son what happens when a woman is in labor, but as a doctor maybe he wanted his son to learn biologically what went on. After the baby is born Nick’s father finds out that the Indian womans husband had committed suicide. The quotes, “ Take Nick out of the shanty, George” and “I’m terribly sorry I brought you along, Nickie. It was an awful mess to put you through.” also help show how in some senses Nick’s father has compassion for his son. The fact that he feels bad that his son h ...

A Room With A View
... petty young woman, obviously ignorant to the “ways of the world,” who is being chaperoned by her cousin, Charlotte Barlett, while vacationing in Italy. Numerous conversations over matters of dress, the acceptability of various pieces of furniture, and other’s vacations, suggest the snobbish nature of both Lucy and Charlotte. In fact, matters of convention encompass Lucy’s life until George Emerson’s “caddish,” yet never the less passionate, display of affection in the bed of violets throws her into an internal struggle of transformation. George’s powerful advice, “Courage and love (p.66),” uttered just before he kisses Lucy, gives her the strength to begin her stren ...

Drunken Boat
... an initial reading, the poem appears to be the history of a commercial boat that has seen much use around the world. Relying heavily upon the suggestive power of language, the poem vacillates beneath the surface between nostalgia, and something darker and more desolate at the end. Rimbaud places an emphasis upon the symbol as a means to evoke the mystery of language itself, rather than to refer to some subjective consciousness or some objective, material world. The symbol is used as a point of convergence for these unspoken things and remains deliberately ambiguous but resonant. The images created through the poet's retelling of experiences use symbols to co ...
