Review Of Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights
.... his sister grew to like
him and his brother grew to hate him. As the years passed, Heathcliff's
brother Hindley continued to scar him emotionally and his sister Cathy grew
to love him with such a passion that when Cathy and Hindley died in their
middle ages, Heathcliff vowed to take revenge on Hindley's son and to not
rest until he lay in the ground beside Cathy. There were many instances in
the story where one was compelled to feel sorry for the way Heathcliff was
constantly barraged by Hindley's acts of contempt. However, no matter how
much damage Hindley did, there was no one to blame for Heathcliff's
mannerism but .....

Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown": A True Romance VS. Young Goodman Brown
.... mysterious man he meets in the forest, that "Faith kept [him]
back awhile." This means that although both his wife, Faith, and his own
faith delay him, they cannot stop him and thus aren't more important than
committing this deed.
Furthermore, there is no evidence of his trust for her in the
marriage. Immediately after witnessing a pink ribbon fluttering down onto
the branch of a tree, Young Goodman Brown cries out, " my Faith is gone!"
By this statement, Goodman means that his wife has physically gone over to
the devil and that his faith in her is gone. This, thereby proves the
absence of trust in his wife. When he does see .....

Young Goodman Brown's Apocalypse
.... if the teachings of his childhood, his
religion, and his culture, have armed him sufficiently to look the devil in
the face and return unscathed" (Hodara 1). The symbol of the forest, late
at night, can be interpreted as the untamed regions of Brown's heart where
the devil roams freely as he roams in the forest. The forest is the devil's
domain. Brown finds, in the dark of the night, many of his daytime friends
share this domain with the devil. What he considers moral and "good" in his
life he finds in the forest. This torments his perception of practically
everything.
A good man in Hawthorne's day was a person of proper .....

1984: Control Is Power
.... “Our control over matter is absolute (pg. 218).” The plot shows
many aspects of the nazi party also. Hitler brain-washed many people into
believing that there was a master race and all others had to follow under
certain rules or be punished. The only thing that could stop Hitler was a
more dominant party of different beliefs. Orwell's new that power is
everything in the way that society is ran. As you can see 1984, is not far

Tolkiens's Lord Of The Rings
.... and different, which matches the theme and plot.
Tolkien, like mostly every other author has one main, specific goal
during the exposition of the story, which is to capture the reader's
attention. In the beginning of "The Lord of the Rings," Tolkien presents
events of happiness, mystery, tales of power, chase, by evil riders,
battles, and strange encounters. Through this process, Tolkien has created
a grasp upon the reader's attention, although, in the beginning, there is
not much of a sort or understanding of the condition and the state of the
tale. Later on in the story, in the "Council of Ehond," Tolkien regains
control .....

.... of civilization change the way people
feel about each other. For example, Jack does not like Ralph because Ralph
is the leader of the group and makes the decisions, but Jack doesn't like
the way Ralph leads them.
Another reason Golding put the setting on an island is that the
environment is different from the conditions that they're used to. The
environment and vegetation of the island is a big influence on their daily
life. Their life basically revolves around the things that live and grow
on the island. They need to be responsible and caring enough not to abuse
their resources. They also need to make smart decision .....

things he knows, to restore Alice and the other creatures after their
involuntary swim in the Pool of Tears"(Avery 325). After the Caucus-race
in which everyone wins, the Dodo solemnly performs a humorous ceremony for
Alice saying "We beg your acceptance of this elegant thimble"(Carroll 23).
They presented the thimble to Alice as a prize for the race which nobody

constantly contradicting Alice while smoking a long hookah.
Alice's childlike thoughts throughout the story make up a large
portion of the humor. Much of Alice's humor relates .....

`They're going to hunt you to-morrow.'"(1)
Here, the reader is basically told on what the two groups have to offer.
Ralph's group is based on being rescued, while Jack's group is pro-hunting

materialistic values are doomed by their self delusion, and George Wilson's
unfortunate career illustrates the fate of the common man in the waste land.
There are a few minor characters in The Great Gatsby whose main
significance is symbolic. In particular Dan Cody who is a “pioneer

Foreshadowing And Flashback; Two Writing Techniques That Make Fitzgerald A Great Writer
.... and caught it with
trembling fingers and set it back in place. 'I'm sorry about the clock,' he
said. 'It's an old clock,' I told him idiotically." (Fitzgerald, pg. 92)
This quote is the first use of foreshadowing which is in chapter five. It
pertains to all of the trouble Gatsby causes as he tries to win Daisy back.
The past is represented by the clock and how Gatsby wants to repeat it with
Daisy. (Eble, pg. 963) This quote foreshadows to the end of the novel when
Nick is left to tell the story of the dreamer whose dreams were corrupted.
(Eble, pg. 963) "they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated
back into their money .....
