John The Savage Bernard Marx
1,590 words
Some drugs dull, stupefy and sedate. Others
sharpen, animate and intensify. After taking soma,
one can apparently drift pleasantly off to sleep.
Bernard Marx, for instance, takes four tablets of
soma to pass away a long plane journey to the
Reservation in New Mexico. When they arrive at the
Reservation, Bernard's companion, Lenin, swallows
half a gramme of soma when she begins to tire of
the Warden's lecture, "with the result that she
could now sit, serenely not listening, thinking of
nothing at...

Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Oedipus Complex
1,621 words
William Shakespeare's Hamlet has always provided
literary critics with a rich source for character
analysis. This source has grown as critics no
longer evaluate Hamlet as an artistic
representation limited to the depth of which the
author characterizes him but rather evaluate him
as a living human being (Lowers 10). As the
scrutiny on Hamlet the human being has

Fact That Holden Catcher In The Rye
1,101 words
Siblings are never meant to get along. They yell
and bicker over everything and are never able to
have a friendly relationship. Very rarely do I see
a pleasant relationship between a brother and a
sister, who actually are able to communicate
without killing each other. When I see siblings
that are nice to each other, I admire them because
it takes a lot to be nice to their siblings,
especially if there is a seven year difference
between them, like Holden and Phoebe. In J. D.
Salinger's novel, Th...

American Academy Of Child Adolescent Psychiatry

During the teen years, adolescents go through many
different changes. These changes cause many teens
to feel as though they are the only ones that have
these feelings and that no one can help them. The
teen that develops these types of mentality
generally has little help from friends and family
to overcome the feelings that could possibly lead
to suicide. Suicide is when someone tries to kill
himself or herself. Teen suicide is based on the
same idea, but it is for people that are
teenagers. Abo...
