.... lead to the development of a completely new class called "The Prostitutes" to relieve the burden of sexual aridity. This new class has been outlawed by our society even though many people mingle with them transgressing the laws of the civilization (142). We even pay people to examine the private life of other people and dig up dirt about their sexual life. Revelation of sex related secrets about other people promote extraordinary interests among masses and are handled with extreme pleasure (143). This obsession with sexuality is a definite violation of the limits of the society. " It stands to reason that we will not be able to free ourselves from it (repression) exce ....

.... own experiences and how they left him. He includes a character from his home state of Indiana in every novel in order to put himself into the novels (Lundquist 4). takes place almost entirely within Hitler's Germany. It is perhaps Vonnegut's most autobiographical work to date, the action occurring in and around , the very hellhole in which he toiled for his captors. The former is no doubt less autobiographical, but the main character certainly has many things in common with his creator: an American artist within Nazi Germany, doing what he felt was necessary to stay alive and to further his work. The author himself tells us he had to write this book. His subtitle “A D ....

.... One thing they both had in common is that they both had a rough time during their childhood. They both had somebody missing from their family growing up. Lonnie's father died when he was a very young boy, and Jesus lost his dad to prison. However, they both had someone to help push them harder to "take it to their limit". Cal is the character who helped Lonnie by coaching him and Jesus relied on memories of his fathers inspiration. I feel it is important that an athlete have someone to inspire them, so they don't quit when they get frustrated. Lonnie, from "Hoops," was a very good basketball player, and Jesus from "He Got Game," was streetwise and a good player also. The ....

.... Russia after the Bolshevik Revolution. He anthropomorphises the animals, and alludes each one to a counterpart in Russian history. A Tale of Two Cities also typifies this kind of literature. Besides the central theme of love, is another prevalent theme, that of a revolution gone bad. He shows us that, unfortunately, human nature causes us to be vengeful and, for some of us, overly ambitious. Both these books are similar in that both describe how, even with the best of intentions, our ambitions get the best ofus. Both authors also demonstrate that violence and the Machiavellian attitude of "the ends justifying the means" are deplorable. George Orwell wrote Animal Farm, ". . ....

.... too agreed with John Proctor: and in efforts to live simply, they stopped going to church, later fueling the accusations for the witch trials. Abigail did not want to make a big issue of what happened in the woods. She states this by saying "...I’ll be whipped if I must be. But they’re speakin’ of witchcraft. Betty’s not witched"(8). At that time she did not want the issue to get blown out of proportion so that life could return to normal. Peer pressure and her lust for revenge caused her to change her mind about starting the witch hunts. Grace played a key role in the disintegration of Salem Village. Characters’ feelings often changed . For example, Abigai ....

.... in some of the plants. Quickly Jack draws his knife so as to kill the piglet. Instead of completing the act, however, Jack hesitates. Golding states that, "The pause was only long enough for them to realize the enormity of what the downward stroke would be." Golding is suggesting that the societal taboos placed on killing are still ingrained within Jack. The next significant encounter in Jack's progression is his first killing of a pig. There is a description of a great celebration. The boys chant "Kill the pig. Cut her throat. Spill her blood." It is clear from Golding's description of the revelry that followed the killing that the act of the hunt provided the bo ....

.... society of his time attempted to hide from reality. On his first voyage, Swift places Gulliver in a land of miniature people where his giant size is meant as a metaphor for his superiority over the Lilliputians, thus representing English society's belief in superiority over all other cultures. Yet, despite his belief in superiority, Swift shows that Gulliver is not as great as he imagines when the forces of nature call upon him to relieve himself. Gulliver comments to the reader that before hand he, “was under great difficulties between urgency and shame”, and after the deed says that he felt, “guilty of so uncleanly an action” (Norton,2051). By revealing to ....

.... gave no answer, but asked him the same question. Sergeant Chamberlain answered, “To free the slaves, of course.” The South, however, was against freeing the slaves. The entire Civil War, whether the people were for or against the idea, was about freedom. The Killer Angels was informative, very fascinating and I liked it. I liked the book because I learned many things from it. I’d never thought much about the importance of the Battle of Gettysburg until I read The Killer Angels. From this book I learned many things. I learned that the Battle of Gettysburg was the turning point of the Civil War. Prior to Gettysburg, the South had won most major battles. At Gettysburg, ho ....
