Flowers For Algernon: Supplementary Book Review
762 Words - 3 Pages.... greatly to the
mood the reader experiences would be the plot. In the story, Charlie, is
subject to an experiment which increases his intelligence in hopes of
knowing more in the soul purpose of impressing people to gain friends.
Unfortunately some of his anticipations were not met.
The main characters in the novel include Charlie, Alice, Algernon, and
Fay, a character who did not make much of an appearance, but in my eyes
believed, that she played a very important part in Charlie's involvement in
trying to sort out his past and figure out his present and future plans.
Charlie is a mentally retarded person who has impressing people and gaining
friends as one of his to ....

Black Boy
1462 Words - 6 Pages.... freedom reigns,
Americans have never to date voted a person into the president's office
who was not a white male. Denny's restaurants, Texaco gas stations, and
Avis car rental are a few of the number of national companies accused of
extolling racism in this "apartheid America." Although less subtle in the
lives of Americans then, racism also thrived in the souls of people living
during the 1920's. Even though the war on slavery was over in the battle
fields, white racists were blood thirsty lions at heart, as was
demonstrated in the book Black Boy.
The setting of Black Boy is in the deep south of Jackson,
Mississippi where whites attempted to tame into submission blacks by ....

A Farewell To Arms: Experiences And Their Influences
570 Words - 3 Pages.... to participate, in their own lives, the experiences of World War 1, but the setting of the war in the novel, A Farewell to Arms, allows the reader to partake in the experiences of the war. In the beginning of the novel, the description of the troops passing sets the mood for a book that does not glamorize war. Hemingway uses imagery such as “the troops were muddy and wet in their capes” to permit the reader to comprehend what World War 1 was like and expand their understanding of how the world was during times of war. Hemingway ends the first chapter with an understatement that when winter came there was an epidemic of cholera in the army, but “only seven thousand di ....

violent so Pluto(the black cat) scratched him out of fear. then the man lost his

Heart Of Darkness: The Journey Into The Soul

of land a treacherous appeal to the lurking death, to the hidden evil, to
the profound darkness of its heart." Conrad 54 Conrad does not even mention
their exact location which is very peculiar. The main river was described
in the form a snake. A snake can be looked at from many points of views,
mythological, biblical, literal and metaphorically. The snake represents
all the twists and turns and being able to find one's inner-self is very
difficult and twisted. The snake represents some of the animal imagery in
the novel. Perhaps this is a sign that the jungle is something living and
not just an ordinary jungle. ....

Mansfield Park
358 Words - 2 Pages.... more or less unscathed. The well-ordered (if somewhat vacuous)
house at Mansfield Park, and its country setting, play an important role in the novel,
and are contrasted with the squalour of Fanny's own birth family's home at Portsmouth,
and with the decadence of London.
Readers have a wide variety of reactions to Mansfield Park-most of which already
appear in the Opinions of Mansfield Park collected by Jane Austen herself soon after the
novel's publication. Some dislike the character of Fanny as "priggish" (however, it is
Edmund who sets the moral tone here), or have no sympathy for her forced inaction
(doubtless, those are people who have never lacked c ....
