Analysis Of Naturalism In Short Story The Jewels
428 words
The main character in the short story, The Jewels,
follows the elements of naturalism very well. M.
Lantin is displayed without sentimentalism and is
followed from an almost scientific perspective. M.
Lantin is also driven by greed. M. Lantin is
followed almost as if in a scientific experiment.
Maupassant describes Lantin with very little
emotion. Every now and then M. Lantin will smile,

War Is Peace Ministry Of Truth
771 words
Probably the most important thing to remember
while reading 1984 is that Orwell never intended
the book to be a prediction of the future. It was
more or less a satire of political fiction,
however, I believe Orwell was on the right track
concerning future possibilities of a New World
Order, or total government control. An interesting
quotation from the book is from the "thought
police" when they say "If you want a picture of
the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human
face forever. " I believ...

... ous breakdown. This was evident by his bouts
of unexplained depression, impetuous spending and
generally odd, erratic behavior, prior to his
eventual nervous collapse. Some critics have
argued that Holden's character is erratic and
unreliable, as he has many of the middle-class
values that he claims to reject. Later on critics
began to have praised the twisted humor of the
main character. These critics have commented that
the structure of the novel helps you understand
Holden's unstable stat...

Odyssey And O Brother Where Art Thou Compared
868 words
The movie O Brother, Where Art Thou? is strikingly
similar to Homers Odyssey in both plot and
character description. In fact, one critic notes,
O Brother Where Art Thou? is a Homeric journey
through Mississippi during the Depression. (Ebert
p 1) Thus, we find the modern film depiction of
the troubles of a man during the depression is
molded by the ancient struggles of Odysseus in
Homers Odyssey. Specifically, three parallels
surface in the discussion of the similarities
between Homers classic ep...
