Milton's Presentation Of The Fallen Angels
.... size and
form. The image of a "pitchy cloud / Of locusts" to describe them as they
rise from the burning lake is especially apt, given the destructive nature
of, and biblical references to these insects. Milton states that they lost
their original names after the Fall ("Got them new names, till wand'ring
o'er the earth") and that they became known to man as the heathen idols of
the Old Testament and the pagan deities of Egypt and Greece. A rich
portrait of mythological and biblical history is painted, through the
equation of the angels with the false gods and characters who featured in
these past times. What is made clear t .....

goblins, and trolls. Many species of animals are able to vocally
communicate with humans and dwarves in the novel, which is not possible on
our planet. Beorn, a human who is able to morph into other creatures at an
instant, is an excellent example of such fiction. The dragon, Smaug, is
the main adversary of the fourteen adventurers and is a type of creature
that has long been used in fantasy writing. A .....

There's Nothing In The Middle Of The Road But Yellow Stripes And Dead Armadillos: Jim Hightower
.... clearly shows his disbelief of the idea that the media is liberal
(125-130). Not only is this helpful to an uneducated reader by using
common slang language, but the use of a foul word help to explain the
severity of the issue. A reader that is not accustomed to this type of
language takes note of what is being said. Other crafty language
techniques include quotations of scripture and the naming of individual
sections with football teams. Overall, the language used by Hightower is
not the typical scholarly prose found in most political texts, but the
language is very well chosen and adds a conversational feeling to keep the

.... doing was killing them. They were smothering them with rules and
regulations, depriving them of their natural born right to be able to marry,
have a family and indulge in the fruits of life. Is this the type of
future that Orwell intends to happen?
Orwell's view on the future may have been influenced by the activities
going on in the world around him. The allies had just defeated the Nazis
in the Second World War and people were starting to know all the details
of what the Germans had done during the war. There are many similarities
between the book and the war. For instance, the Germans tried to control
the citizen's th .....

Gawain And Roland
.... type of problem. His honor
also got him to into trouble. One perfect example of this was when Roland
made his Uncle Ganelon so angry by antagonizing him that Ganelon used
Roland's concept of honor to make Roland take the rear guard and be
slaughtered. Roland antagonized Ganelon by saying: "Quoth Roland: ‘
Ganelon my step she is the man" (SOR, ln.229) Roland also felt honor bound
