Perceptions of character traits based upon outward
appearance plays a central theme in the novel,
Frankenstein by the author Mary Shelly. However,
perceptions of people by society are not always
true. In fact, what the character appears to be on
the outside, and what they actually are on the
inside can be as different as night and day. For
example, the main character Victor Frankenstein is
viewed by society as a wealthy gentleman, without
a flaw. He is perceived as a man of great

dead. This statement was thought blasphemous by
many and its credibility was never fully realized.

Reader Is Told Description Of Jim
713 words
In recent years, there has been increasing
discussion of the seemingly racist ideas expressed
by Mark Twain in Huckleberry Finn. In some extreme
cases the novel has even been banned by public
school systems and censored by public libraries.
The basis for these censorship campaigns has been
the depiction of one of the main characters in
Huckleberry Finn, Jim, a black slave. Jim, is a

Miss Watson. At several points in the novel, Jims
character is de...

Men And Women Bertrand Russell

Essay Conventional and Sterile Tuesday Nov. 07,
2000 It is my understanding that people grow up in
a society of conventional and sterile ways of
life. Some societies have a tendency to raise
people to be similar in their way of thinking.
People are educated to have the same morals,
beliefs (within their own culture), and, or
opportunities at an education. The ways in which
these people are raised does not give a chance for
independent thinking, and creativity. My idea of
societies being Conventi...

Lord Of The Flies Important To Note

1. The conch being inexpertly blown and the fact
that Piggy has only one lens shows that society
has begun to function poorly. The reason for this
decline in society is Jack. Jack broke Piggy's
lens, and now Jack who has power, represented by
the conch, does not know how to blow it properly.
This tells us that Jack is an inept leader who
misuses power and destroys knowledge. To become an
expert at something, such as blowing a conch or
leading a society takes time, so this is also
significant bec...
