Out in Paris and London is a documentary of the
life of lower class people in Paris and London.
Orwell shows the social conditions of the
so-called plonkers (they are cheap and unqualified
workers in restaurants, hotels etc. ) in Paris,
and of the tramps in London. By joining these
people, and living amongst them, Orwell generates
a very realistic view. It was even more than that,
Orwell wasn't only living amongst them for these
months, he was ev...

Fall In Love Men And Women
1,978 words
This topic is also well discussed in many of the
standard textbooks, but a bit unevenly and a bit
oddly. Thus Haralambos and Holborn (1990), or
Barnard and Burgess (1996) have good sections
specifically on gender and educational
achievement. However, rather strangely, the
section on education is treated almost entirely as
a sort of empirical matter and not linked very
well to the other admirable sections on gender
generally, or gender in the family or work
sections. This is especially odd in the...

Clockwork Orange Pure Evil

A Clockwork Orange To leave out the final chapter
of A Clockwork Orange is to change the entire
meaning of the novel; as Burgess says in the
introduction, his story is transformed into a
fable. Without the last chapter the reader is left
with a dark and pessimistic theme, that absolute
good and evil exist in this world and it is
possible for a man to be pure evil. Alex is
conditioned and unconditioned, and in the end all
indications point to a malicious life of crime. He

written during the time. Therefore, some of the
quotes were biased either against or favored
Cleopatra. For an example of bias against her, the
Jewish historian Flavius Josephus called her a
wicked creature, who was a slave to her lusts, but
