A Review: The Day Of The Jackal
.... small ventures that give rise to the climax. In a scene where the
Jackal is purchasing a fake identification card, the reader can tell that the
man making the card is an expert. Not because it was mentioned, but because the
man has such a large amount of information about I.D. cards to offer. This same
writing talent that displays the characters with subtle suggestion instead of
giving specific details is also shown when the Jackal goes to purchase his
sniper rifle. It is not mentioned earlier, but the way the armorer talks about
the mechanics involved with making a gun in which the Jackal described shows
that he is one of the best .....

Uh-Oh: Some Observations From Both Sides Of The Refrigerator Door
.... reading this book so much the first time I had to read it again.
The second time was even better than the first, because of all the new things I
could understand. I love how nowhere on his book does it say “New York Times
Bestseller” because every other book on the shelf has it, but the author chooses
to be different. He knows he's a winner, and as long as the people know that, he
doesn't have to show it off. I also love that when I finish reading one of his
books it's like I've just been sitting right next to him for about 4 hours and
had a big conversation. But that's not all of what his book is. He's a minister,
so in his wr .....

Animal Farm: Character Analysis Of Napoleon
.... would talk to the other animals one on one and
"psychologically brainwash" them. He is very kiniving in his ways to get more
power and is always trying to discredit and undermine the other animals. One
time he urinated on Snowball's plans for the windmill. Napoleon's sense of
timing is keen and this is very useful is his quest for more power. At just the
right time he implies that Snowball's teachings are not beneficial to the other
animals. Then the time comes when Napoleon has to carry out the rest of his
plan, getting rid of Snowball. But by the time the animals realize what is
going on Napoleon has taken control and is r .....

Canticle For Leibowitz: Walter Miller
.... with them. As a society we do the same thing today. In
school students copy notes off the blackboard blindly, they do not know what
they are copying. Therefore, they do not understand the content.
Not only does Miller also poke fun at impractical details, Miller also
pokes fun at the way today's society revolves is the importance of a spiritual
being such as Leibowitz. Today's society is strongly set on the existence of
God.
Today's society is mocked due to the importance of a spiritual being,
like Leibowitz. The monks do not really know who Leibowitz is. All of the
information about Leibowitz are only rumors. No concrete .....

Ceremony By Leslie Silko
.... their perspective into the story, one of
them is the elderly mistress of Josiah and the other one is Helen Jean who went
on one of the many joyrides that Harley and the others went on. These women are
actually just a way for the author to explain how the rest of society viewed
Tayo. An example of this is when Helen Jean describes Tayo "Too quiet, and not
very friendly(161)". Another thing this allows the author to do is to show how
the War affected the young women from the reservations. She is able to show you
how Helen Jeans life was in just a few pages. Silko was able to show how the
Native American war veterans looked to anyon .....

Cyrano De Bergerac
.... but it is the fact that Cyrano is
able to overcome it that makes him a hero.
Not only is Cyrano filled with emotion, but he also goes out of his way
to live life to the fullest. Cyrano's introduction to the reader definitely
leaves a lasting impression. Not only does he banish an actor from the theater
for performing poorly, but he proceeds to recite poetry while dueling with
another member of the audience. Every moment of Cyrano's life is filled with
action like this. When he was informed that one hundred men were going to kill
his friend, Ligniére, he was thrilled with the idea of fighting all these men at
once, and, of cou .....

Ladies and gentlemen, I beg you, this man is innocent. He didn't do
anything wrong unless being a humanitarian is a crime. Thank you for your time.

Diary Of Hatchet
.... hard to believe, there was a lot of "coincidents." Brian showed his
intellectual side when he realized that when Jake was suffering from his heart
attack he turned the plane to the left. That could greatly increase the time it
would take for a search party to find him. I have to admit, so far this is one
of the best opening parts I have ever read. No dull pages. 10/08
After Brian crashed he was hurt pretty badly. He ad no energy so he just
slept on the shore. I consider him very luckily that he did not blow up or
something. After awhile he was extremely hungry. He found a gut cherry bush.
He ate so many he threw .....

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest: McMurphy
.... that these psychedelic drugs could enable him to see things the way they
were truly meant to be seen.
After working as a test subject for the hospital, Kesey was able to get a
job working as a psychiatric aide. This was the next significant factor in
writing the book. "Sometimes he would go to work high on acid (LSD) (323)." By
doing so, he was able to understand the pain felt by the patients on the ward.
In addition, the job allowed him to examine everything that went on within the
confines of the hospital. From these things, Kesey obtained exceptional insight
for writing One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. To make the .....

Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde
.... study to
find out if it really is Dr. Jekyll in that room. To their surprise it is Mr.
Hyde with a bottle of poison. He had committed suicide before they had a chance
to break down the door to the study.
The book ends when Mr. Utterson reads a letter which says "only to be
read when Dr. Jekyll is deceased" When he opened it, it had a precise
explanation of who Mr. Hyde really was and how everything happened.
R L Stevenson's novel is amazing. The reason being is the explanations
he uses like "the dreadful face of Hyde put shivers down my spine". Stevenson
really gave me a mental picture of a beast and how Mr. Utterson must hav .....

upon him constraining and the life with them lonely. As a result, soon after he
