Number Of Missions Colonel Cathcart
1,308 wordsThe name of the novel I read is Catch- 22 by Joseph Heller. This novels uniqueness makes it hard to classify but I would classify it as an anti-war novel. The main theme of the novel is one of hope and freedom from the barbaric grasp of war. Heller uses World War II as an almost invisible framework in which he places a number of vaguely related stories presented in no particular chronological order, although the final narrative does tie them all together. Catch- 22 was written in a very comical ...

Miss Emily Grierson Royal Air Force
1,541 wordsWilliam Faulkner's A Rose for Emily has been interpreted in many different ways. Most of these rely solely on hints found within the story. I believe that his life can also help one analyze this story. By knowing that Faulkner's strongest influence was his independent mother, one can guess that Miss Emily Grierson's character was based partly on Maud Falkner. William Cuthbert Faulkner was born in New Albany, Mississippi on September 25, 1897. His family moved to Oxford, Mississippi when Faulkner...

Made Themselves Ready House Of Seven
1,350 wordsAmerican Literature reflects life, and the struggles that we face during our existence. The great authors of our time incorporate life's problems into their literature directly and indirectly. The stories themselves bluntly tell us a story, however, an author also uses symbols to relay to us his message in a more subtle manner. In Nathaniel Hawthorne's book The House of Seven Gable's symbolism is eloquently used to enhance the story being told, by giving us a deeper insight into the author's int...

850 wordsThe Lack of Comprehensive Speech in Catch 22 Most of what we really say has no meaning. This concept is perfectly supported in Catch 22, by Joseph Heller. Almost every character and scene in the novel contain dialogues where the people speak aimlessly and have no explanation for why they are talking. Colonel Cargill addresses his men by saying, +You+re American officers. The officers of no other army in the world can make that statement. Think about it. + (29) Even though the remark is true, it ...

Francis Ford Coppola Heart Of Darkness
1,398 wordsComparison of Coppola's film Apocalypse Now and Conrad's novel Heart of Darkness. Francis Ford Coppola's film of horror in Vietnam, Apocalypse Now, borrows its narrative structure from Joseph Conrad's novel Heart of Darkness.

Made Themselves Ready Light And Dark

The stories themselves tell a tale; however, an author also uses symbols to relay his message in a more subtle manner. Nathaniel Hawthorne was one of the earliest authors to use symbols as an integral part of his plots. This is clearly seen in both The Scarlet Letter and in The House of the Seven Gables. The use of symbols causes an a...
