Side Of Paradise First Chapter
1,119 wordsMany critics have complained, with justice, that a great flaw in This Side of Paradise (aside from its loose, rambling structure) is the fact that the author seems uncertain as to his own attitude. He mocks the romantic delusions or emotional melodrama of his "little rich boy, " Amory Blaine, while too often he shares, or seems to share, in the delusions themselves. There is, in short, a kind of "smart" pseudo-sophistication imbedded within the narrative itself-a series of "clever comments" inse...

Clockwork Orange First Chapter
1,310 wordsA Clockwork Orange, by Anthony Burgess, is a dark look into a frightful future of violence and social control.

Burgess presents us with a philosophical message that we may soon find ourselv...

Tim Obrien Vietnam War
967 wordsIt is generally recognized that Tim Obrien's Going After Cacciato (1978) is most likely the best novel of the Vietnam war, albeit an unusual one in that it innovative combines the experiential realism of war with surrealism, primarily through the overactive imagination of the protagonist, Spec Four Paul Berlin. The first chapter of this novel is of more than usual importance. Designed to be a self-sufficient story (Mccaffery 137) and often anthologized as one, this chapter is crucial to the nove...

Fahrenheit 451 dramatizes entrapment in a sterile heritage and imaginative life, preserving a barren present without a past or future. It fuses traditional themes of anti-utopia fiction, much like the other authors, to satirically focus on the oppressive effect of a reductionist philosophy translated into social policy. This was written in response to the C...

This technique does not draw you into the story very quickly. It is clear from the writing that Steinbeck is calling on previous experiences. He is basically writing about what he has witnessed and experienced as he went through the Great Depression. Steinbeck's simple writing style shows what it was like during the Great Depression.

Daisy And Tom Jay Gatsby
1,625 wordsAfter reading the book The Great Gatsby, the author, F. Scott Fitzgerald imparts upon the reader a very specific impression of glamour and allurement in a perfect, yet shallow, upper class society. Even the front cover of the book itself illuminates the flair and attractive lights that would appeal to those of wealth. But John Read Seurat s painting of the Man at a Parapet shows the complete opposite image. Seurat s dismal use of specificity and drab use of color is everything that a man like Ga...
