Dandelion Wine: Douglas
<view this essay>.... An introduction to the first day of the rest of our lives. No one ever sees when this wall will cross his path. No one knows the very moment they reach the other side of it.

Catch 22: What’s Fair Isn’t Fair
<view this essay>.... (if not entirely) off-base. Through the portrayal of the military, we see it is not comprised of honest, crisp men whose altruistic nature motivates them to serve their country as a destroyer of evil and preserver of justice (although, through our insanity, we may speak of it as such); rather, the military actually operates as a huge business machine, whose operators’ primary concern lies in that of personal advancement instead of the well-being of their country.
Although the title of General, Sergeant, or Major may make one seem distinguished and well-learned, Heller offers a different perspective. Major Major Major, Scheisskoph and co. share one common chara .....

years to make a name for himself, and make some money.

The Time Machine By H.G Wells
<view this essay>.... Wells went into teaching and writing text books and articles for the magazines that were of that time.
In 1894 he began to write science-fiction stories. -James Gunn Wells vision of the future, with its troglodytic Morlocks descended from the working class of his day and the pretty but helpless Eloi devolved from the leisure class, may seem antiquated political theory. It emerged out of the concern for social justice that drew Wells to the Fabian Society and inspired much of his later writing, but time has not dimmed the fascination of the situation and the horror of the imagery. The Time Machine brought these concerns into his fiction. It, too, involve .....

Lyrical Analysis Of The End
<view this essay>.... enough about himself to know it was the only way he would get any peace. What he may not have known is that the real fire he started that night was on the inside, where it could never be put out.

The song is an incredible achievement in music, there's nothing that can even come close to what was done with "The End", in terms of the rhythmic and melodic variation backing a complex story line. It builds to an effect of mood rather than a sequence of events. Morrison's masterpiece was almost pure poetry, which p .....
