.... of speech to a form where humans can no longer think for themselves. These future citizens would not be able to commit any crimes against the Party. There is no possible way these humans would even think "criminal" thoughts to begin with since they had no knowledge of any crime from personal experience or history. The main character of this book is Winston Smith. Even though he is portrayed as a criminal, I believe that he is a victim of a system that is criminal. All through this book Winston's convictions lead us to believe that he is ethical and the Party is unjust but it is left up to the readers discretion to decide whether he is the crimi .....

.... we desire Madame Duval to be punished, but by doing so with violence, she asks us to question our own expectations of women in "the novel". Burney almost immediately introduces us to our hero Lord Orville, by doing this so early in the novel we as readers are compelled to dislike anyone else who courts our heroine. We know from experience, that any man (besides our hero) who attempts to solicit our heroine is most likely an enemy. Therefore when we meet Sir Clement Willoughby, we instantly dislike him because of the character he plays in our novel. Our keen sense of depravity is quickly rewarded when we are shown the way in which Sir Clement treats our preciou .....

.... of the Great War. His new society, then, becomes the Company, his fellow trench soldiers, because that is a group which does understand the truth as Baumer has experienced it. Remarque demonstrates Baumer’s disaffiliation from the traditional by emphasizing the language of Baumer’s pre- and post-enlistment societies. Baumer either can not, or chooses not to, communicate truthfully with those representatives of his pre-enlistment and innocent days. Further, he is repulsed by the banal and meaningless language that is used by members of that society. As he becomes alienated from his former, traditional, society, B .....

.... in this book is clearly shown in the theme. William Golding uses symbols to form his theme. The type of symbols he uses are literary symbols. Literary symbols only have meaning in the context of the book that they are in. For example, a major symbol in Lord of the Flies is the pigs head. To someone who hasn’t read the book the pigs head would have no meaning to them. The meaning applied to literary symbols would only be recognized by thows who have read the book. Therefor literary symbols are created by the author for the purpose of enhancing the complexity of his or her book, and are only applicable in the context of that book. The book Lord of the Flies is f .....

.... of the Circle, were condemned to be shot. Literally moments before his execution was to occur, his sentence was commuted to four years hard labor in Omsk, Siberia. He accepted his punishment and began to regard many of the simple convicts as extraordinary people. During his sentence, he became devoted to Orthodox Christianity. The House of the Dead was initially published in Russia, 1860. Upon initial examination of the work, it appears to be a stream of consciousness account of Dostoyevsky's four years in a Siberian prison camp. But, upon further review, it seems to be more an account of Dostoyevsky's personality and attitudes through these years. In .....
