Gustave Flaubert And Madame Bovary: Comparisons
.... this love and passion for life shortly ended when
Emma's true feelings began to come about. We soon come to realize that “the
story is of a woman whose dreams of romantic love, largely nourished by novels,
find no fulfillment when she is married to a boorish country doctor” (Thorlby
272).
This is completely true because Emma really does get caught up in her
reading. She wonders why she can't have a flawless love as well as a flawless
life, just as the characters do in the novels she reads.
Once Emma becomes fed up and realizes that he is “a sad creature”
(Flaubert 78), she begins her little quest to find the right man .....

Murray Davis' Smut, Erotic Reality/Obscene Ideology
.... admits that the vocabulary of sex is changing (Davis, p.
xxv), he also states that hard-core pornography uses considerably more vulgar
terms that are associated with lower-class activity, such as, "prick, fuck, and
suck" (Davis, p. xxiii). Davis believes that hard-core pornography, induces
imaginative behaviours by using these lower-class, four-letter words. The
stories use phrases such as "First we sucked, then we fucked."(Davis p. xix,
1983), to allow the reader the tools to imagine the scene actually taking place.
The reader is lead by the author through the story by using words that may be
more understood or common in t .....

Sex In Ragtime
.... after dinner, Father and
Mother went upstairs and closed the bedroom door"(p 4). Their marriage is happy
as long as they continue to have a good physical relationship. Whereas in the
beginning of the novel Mother and Father's relationship was good, by the end of
the novel "He felt it had been stupid to leave his wife alone"(p 233). Mother's
disdain for Father is conveyed to the reader when he tells her that he will be

he left the room she could only wonder that she had .....

When they are faced with problems they relate back to stories, just as this, to
find that strength once again.
Mrs. Hurston, being a African American herself, should have the right to
tell a story of her heritage without being persecuted. The fact that that is
how African Americans spoke during that time should not be cause for
embarrassment. It is just a fact of how things were. When relating a story
from a certain time period, it should be written in the dialect used at that
time.
The people who find this story demeaning are obviously choosing to not
believe this is .....

The Grapes Of Wrath: Symbolic Characters
.... at that
time. The best way to go about doing this was to focus on one of the two things
that nearly all migrants had in common, which was religion and hardships.
Steinbeck creates a story about the journey of a family and mirrors it to that
of biblical events. The entire family, in themselves, were like the Israelites.
"They too flee from oppression, wander through the wilderness of hardships,
seeking their own Promised Land" (Shockley, 91). Unfortunately, although the
Israelites were successful, the Joads never really found what they could
consider to be a promised land. They were never lucky enough to really satisfy
their dr .....

magic and necromancy. Hal, on the other hand was born to a high society. Even

1984 By George Orwell: Character Sketch
.... again. But there had been a moment – he did not know how long, thirty
seconds, perhaps – of luminous certainty, when each new suggestion of O'Brien's
had filled up a patch of emptiness and had become absolute truth, and when two
and two could have been three as easily as five, if that were what was needed.
It had faded out before O'Brien had dropped his hand; but though he could not
recapture it, he could remember it, as one remembers a vivid experience at some
remote period of one's life when one was in effect a different person.
Earlier in that section O'Brien had tortured him into believing two plus two
equals five.
