Analyzing Novels Ernest Hemingway's novel For Whom
the Bells Toll is considered as one of his best
works, because author was able to give readers an

Huxley creates. The center strives for community,

the people of the world. The motto helps Huxley
use setting in three different situations. When

The Storm, Kate Chopin plots a situation in which

white grandmother and a black grandmother on both
the paternal and maternal sides, he? s a living
example of divided heritage between two worlds.
