tum!. He followed it to his fathers construction site where they were

Jurassic Park: The Novel Vs.The Film
.... this is
not a typical attack. Soon after this incident another mysterious attack
occurs. This time a young girl is bitten by an 'unknown' lizard on a Costa
Rican beach along with many other infant deaths in the surrounding area.
The evidence Crichton gives here is the fact that the lizard was of an
unknown species and, according to witnesses, carnivorous. It also had the
now impossible task of standing on its tail. Foamy, 'prehistoric' saliva
was also found on the victims' bite marks. The only event in the film that
resembles the novel's beginning is the grisly death of the workman. There
is no mention of the 'mystery lizard' .....

Krutch's "Killing For Sport"
.... hand the
killer for food receives life in return for his killing, further stating
that the hunter for sport is evil. This work clearly exposes gaming
hunters and expresses how senseless it is to kill for fun. Krutch
identifies hunting as a "reality of evil" because we know it is wrong to
kill without purpose.
There is a secondary descriptive mode used to illuminate the
reader's imagination and give them insight into the working of the hunter
character. I believe Krutch used the evaluation mode to create a
distinctive, persuasive, description of the hunter.
Joseph Krutch has done a very effective job on this persua .....

Vonnegut's Portrayal Of Society In Breakfast Of Champions
.... flaws is a major concern of Breakfast of
Champions. Such problems arise and are dealt with as failure to
communicate, ecological destruction, a contempt for art, and the

suffering and unintelligibility of daily living (Giannone 107).

prosperity, being burdened with the problems of himself and his family

Hughes' "Black Voices Oby The Tales Of Simple": Jessie Semple
.... for all his wisdom to come through; his presentation of the
facts is given in a humorous manner. In Bop, "That's why so many white
folks do not get their heads beat just for being white. But me --- a cop
is liable to grab me almost anytime and beat my head- just for being
colored " (105). This side to Semple is an example of Hughes attempt to
give simple facts or actual truth but instead of telling these things
harshly and angrily he tries to sweeten them with a little sarcastic humor.
At times, Simple is full of pain. "I have had so many hardships in
this life," said Simple, "that it is a wonder I'll live until I die" (105). .....

The Scarlet Letter: Letters From The Heart
.... Scarlet Letter is written in the Romantic style. It contains
many elements that are vital to the Romantics. It is full of symbolism. For
example, by the end of the story, how many different ways could the letter
"A" be interpreted? What about the lot described in the beginning? Was
Pearl Hesters child or was she symbolic of the wild life that sin leads to?
The people in the story seem to have an innate sense of intuition, much
like the Romantics. They are constantly reading each others feeling and
reacting to them. Emotion plays a key role in the story. People didn't
ignore or hate Hester for her sins because, much like the Romanti .....

also appears to be much like the Western hero, a risk taker; he would go to
meet a challenge, ready to risk a confrontation, usually with the Big Nurse.
One such occasion was when McMurphy rose to meet the Nurse's confiscation
and rationing of cigarettes by breaking her window and taking the
cigarettes. The Chief comments on this confrontational aspect of McMurphy's
character when he says of McMurphy:
He was the logger again, the swaggering gambler, the big redheaded brawling
Irishman, the cowboy out of the TV set walking down the middle of the
street to .....
