1,107 words
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known as Lewis
Carroll, is recognized by all as the silly
fairy-tale author of stories such as Alice in
Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking
Glass. However, little is known about what drove

imagined futures are set hundreds of years away),

plausibility of the world that Orwell constructs.
Because the social world of 1984 is not that far
removed from the reader's own experience, he
becomes involved in a more profound, intimate way
than he does in Huxley's remote chrome-and-glass
society. Orwell wanted his readers to understand

Causal Argument: Does Violence In The Media Affect
Children? Violence is found all around us in the
media. Parents are becoming worried about what
their children are exposed to. There has been an
ongoing debate as to whether violence in the media
can affect children to imitate acts of violence.

between watching violence, and committing acts of
violence. Children who are exposed to excessive
amounts of violence on television, in video games,

Playboy Of The Western World Discovering Reality
492 words
In order to counter the unreality of Ibsen and the
bleakness of Chekhov, John M. Synge has chosen a
seemingly unbelievable story to create his realist
masterpiece, The Playboy of the Western
World. Its realism comes from two unlikely
sources: joy and a far-fetched tale. Yet, as Synge
identifies himself in the preface, these elements
in combination are extremely effective in showing
the life of the peasantry; more so than any bleak
or so-called "real" story (in the manner of Ibsen)
could. ...

Macbeth Quot Beware Macduff
693 words
Shakespeare's Macbeth is saturated with
thought-provoking situations and enigmas. Many of
these enigmas are contradictions or overlapping
puzzles. Equivocations, or things said alongside
their opposites, occur often in the play. The
presence of the supernatural also enhances the
eluding effect. Finally, statements made by
characters analyzing their own situations often
illustrate the idea of illusion versus actuality.
This theme of truth and reality opposing fallacy
and fantasy is a prominent id...

York Ballantine Books Lucid Dreaming

Lucid Dreaming Dreams are the playground of the
mind. Anything can happen when one is dreaming.
The only limitation is that we only rarely realize
the freedoms granted to us in our dreams while we
have them. Lucid dreaming is the ability to know
when one is dreaming, and be able to influence
what will be dreamt. A normal dream is much like
passively watching a movie take place in your
skull. In a lucid dream, the dreamer is the
writer, director, and star of the movie. Lucid
dreams are exceptiona...

The exact positioning of the men and the careful
