The Great Gatsby: Being Successful
.... color; one that does not hurt the eye when put in direct line of sight. An example of a color that would lash out at you and scream, “hey look at me, I’m noticeable!” would be red. Aside from red being associated with violence it is a very noticeable color that is probably why it is the color used in the tail light’s of cars. The point is that green is a color that is very neutral. It does not provoke anger, in fact it usually represents serenity. The type of serenity that most people will never experience for a prolonged period of time.
Another association with green is the signal to go. With the obvious example of .....

Douglas Hurt's The Dust Bowl
.... in Amarillo and Dodge City. Residents began to accept them as a part of daily life. On April 10, 1935, a dust storm rolled through Texas and Oklahoma and on to Kansas. The storm lasted for over twenty-four hours, and set a record for intensity and duration of a storm. This storm came four days before the dreadful “black blizzard” that hit Amarillo, Texas on April 14, 1935.
In 1936, The Resettlement Administration, an organization set up to financially aid rural farmers in poverty, sent a film crew to portray the causes and consequences of the Dust Bowl. The film was entitled The Plow that Broke the Plains. Rexfor .....

Frankenstein: The Creator's Faults In The Creation
.... appearance is hideous. He knew of the creature's disfigured face and gigantic proportions, yet he is so blinded by his ego that he fails to take into account the results of his actions, i.e. how his creation would coexist with other beings. His thoughtless actions immediately doom his creature to be a social outcast. Frankenstein never acknowledges the results of his mistakes until people start being murdered. His hasty actions could incriminate him to be the 'true murderer' as if he had of thought his action through than he would have never created the creature and so the murders may never have happened.
Dr. Victor Franken .....

Animal Farm And Russian Revolution Comparison: Highlights, Events, Characters, Themes
.... ready for revolution. In reality, neither party held a real majority, and many political figures became powerful and then were expelled. Leon Trotsky joined the Bolsheviks and supported plans that would be for the good of all Russian people. Joseph Stalin built consensus with the members of several factions. In the final stages Lenin and the Bolsheviks seized power and formed the communist government of the USSR (“Russian Revolution”).
Much like the Russian Revolution events, Animal Farm tends to follow a similar sequence of events. The overthrow of Nicholas II is much like taking over the Jones’ farm. The labor parties o .....

Criticism Of Shame
.... . .[Rushdie’s work] is responsive to the world rather than removed from it, and it is because of this responsiveness that the mode in which he work represents the continued life of the novel. . . and one wants something better to describe it that the term ‘magical realism’— is an assertion of individual freedom in a world where freedom is strangle. . . "(360, Editor) Christopher Lehmann-Haupt boldly asserts, "If Mr. Rushdie had followed [the logic of realistic psychology] in Shame, he would have robbed his novel of its spectral magic, its breakdown of narrative logic that allows time to rush suddenly forward and reveal the end of t .....

Alice Walker's "Beauty: When The Other Dancer Is The Self"
.... accident happened. Walker then emphasizes to the reader that the way she views herself now and the way she thinks people view her at the age of eight have changed for the worse.

She said it had taught her of shame, anger, and inner vision.
In her narrative, imagery also emphasizes Walker’s view of herself and how others view her. She starts by describing how she looked when she was a little girl. “I am dressed in a green, flocked .....

Catcher In The Rye
.... and label it as one of my favorites.
For those of you who have not had the opportunity to hold grasp of this book and read it, it is superficially, the story of a young man’s expulsion from school. However, if you study the story, it is so much more than that.
Holden Caulfield, a teenager growing up in the 1950s in New York, has been expelled from prep school for poor achievement. In an attempt to deal with this he leaves school for a few days prior to the end of term and goes to New York to take a “vacation” before returning home to his parents. Told as a monologue, the book describes Holden’s thoughts and activities .....

John Updike's "A&P"
.... story, “A&P was right in the middle of town and women generally put on a shirt or shorts or something before they get out of the car into the street.” It was the appropriate thing to do. To Sammy, however, it was appropriate only if you had “six children and varicose veins mapping your legs and nobody could care less.” Contrary to his belief, however, just because you are beautiful and look good in a bathing suit does not mean you are an exception to any rule. Even if the same had occurred today , I believe the reaction would be similar because it is just inappropriate to walk into a convenient store with only a bathing suit .....

1984: Socialism, Fascism, Or Communism
.... that no government is needed.
In a fascist state, there is a totalitarian dictatorship, where one person or group controls everything within. This can be seen in 1984 by the Party. There is subordination to the state and its leader, which there is not in the book. Ethnic cleansing is required in a large Fascist state.
In 1984, I do think that the form of government takes some characteristics from Fascism and Socialism. Although, the entire deal with the proles seems as if there will be a revolution into a Communist government.

Catch 22: What’s Fair Isn’t Fair
.... Major Major Major, Scheisskoph and co. share one common characteristic: they are more fit to be clowns than leaders. Through portraying Major Major Major as an inefficient Major (he is unwilling to meet with those who wish to see him) whose promotion was a direct result of his name, one is inclined to believe those in military leadership actually do not belong in their respective position. Bomb patterns, parades, and success of mess halls may send a person up the military ladder while more efficient persons may be mired in meaningless positions. This motif is displayed in almost all cases, whether it be Cathcart’s loyalty .....
