12 Angry Men: Influence Of Surroundings
.... hands Eight does not think highly of Three for what he
says about killing the boy and shouts "your a sadist."(17) which is the
absolute truth about Three.
The emotional make-up of a juror can change his desicision on wther or
not to let a man live or die. When someone is asked judge someone else, shoud
not you look at al the facts to be sure beyond a shoadow of a doubt that the
man who cimmitted the crime is guilty? Yes, a juror should look at all the
facts but some do not, they just judge the person on how that person feels.

12 Angry Men: Boy Is Innocent
.... hear the yells of the boy.
After leaving his house, the boy went to see a movie to get away from
all of this. He was under total stress. I am sure he did not care to look at
the title of the movie. He probably just wanted in to get away. This way his
mind was focused on other things other than his father. He thought that if he
got away. he would come back in a better mood to be with his father.
I have presented you with the three best points of evidence to prove the
innocence of this young boy. Think of this, how could a young boy do this to
his father? Even though he was a victim of abuse, l love is still inside him.

Summary Of 1984
.... the Brotherhood, but there was no way of knowing
if it really existed. He didnąt know if anyone felt the same way he did, but he
was sure there must be.
The Party was reconstructing society as a whole, and no one seemed to
notice. it was done so systematically and effectively, it was hard to believe
the world had ever been otherwise. Children were raised to love Big Brother (the
human face the Party took on). They were taught to turn anyone in who showed
signs of deviation from the Party, even their own parents. they were born not
knowing anything of the past, and without anyway of finding out. Anything that
was taught to them as .....

1984: Summary
.... is left up to the readers discretion to decide
whether he is the criminal or just a victim of a totalitarian society. The first
instance of Winstons "criminal" nature was when he bought an illegal journal,
quill and bottle of ink to record his thoughts. Although he had so called
"criminal" thoughts before, the journal seemed to bring out the more daring
ideas in him as to how to get free from the Party's reign. This all indirectly
led to his meeting with a woman called Julia who shared his feelings and was
either very brave or very foolish because she was more open then he about her
feelings. I believe that these and the other act .....

The Ironies Of 1984
.... them controlled with fear.
The next type of irony is Situation irony, which is when a character or a
sequence of events appears to be headed one way, but it ends up as the opposite
of what was thought. One example of this is Winston's general health. From the
beginning of the book, it is shown how horrible his health is and is continually
getting worse and more difficult, but as Winston gets involved with Julia then
he begins a metamorphosis into a more healthy person. Another major example is
the betrayal of many of the people whom Winston thought were his friends, such
as Mr. Charrington and even O'Brien- -who both worked .....

1984: Some Prophecies Have Come True
.... little exaggerated but it is
still the same concept.
Yet another example is how people are tagged with numbers. People today
are identified by a social security number same as in 1984. Many of Orwells
predictions became true but many didn't.
Despite the truths, there were many untruths prevalent in 1984. Many
concepts expressed in the book such as banned sex, thought police, food
shortages from the past were all predictions that never became true. Orwell made
the prediction that sex would be illegal in the year 1984. In the story Winston
and Julia were caught having sex and Winston was tortured almost to death. A l .....

Comparison Of 1984 And Animal Farm
.... this true
reality is available to Inner Party members, they too do not have the freedom of
thought or individuality... they are only just aware of its existence. Only the
outside reader is able to think and understand the true nature of the reality
established by the Party.
In Animal Farm, Orwell unveiled that reality is a simple mental state
that can be easily manipulated. Napoleon and the pigs proved this theory by
repeatedly changing the Seven Commandments and reporting to the other animals
that the 'laws' had always been in their changed condition when they were
questioned. Napoleon uses the terror wielded by .....

Stephen Crane's "The Open Book": Determinism, Objectivity, And Pessimism
.... it
occurs to man that nature does not regard him as important, and that she feels
she would not maim the universe by disposing of him, he at first wishes to throw
bricks at the temple, and he hates deeply that there are no bricks and no
temples.”(pg156) The one character who perishes, the oiler, is of course a
victim of determinism. Even as he was so close to land and no longer out in the
open sea, nature still takes its role in determining his fate.
Objectivity refers to how the author describes reality as it exists,
that is, not glorifying something, but rather simply stating the observation.
The fact that the narrator is t .....

"Billy Budd" By Herman Melville: Captain Vere
.... of the welfare of
his men, but never tolerating an infraction of discipline; thoroughly versed in
the science of his profession, and intrepid to the verge of temerity, though
never injudiciously so.” In fact, his downfall is directly caused by his never
tolerating an infraction of discipline.
Captain Vere instinctively disliked Claggert, a man who, for his own
reasons, falsely accuses Billy Budd of plotting a mutiny. While meeting
together, the charge would have come to naught if Billy Budd hadn't killed
Claggert by striking him in the head. After that, whether Billy was innocent or
not was no longer at question. Billy had .....
