.... his future wife Guenevere to the beginning of his siege against Sir Lancelot's castle in France. The short excerpt of Morte d' Arthur tells of how King Arthur abandons his assault on Lancelot to defend Camelot and all of England from Mordred. Because Camelot seems to immediately precede Morte d' Arthur and there is no overlap in the story, the way the plot is handled in each work cannot be debated. I will however, discuss the mood, tone, and characterization of a few key figures in the two works. One difference in character that I found was that in the introduction to Morte d' Arthur, Mordred is referred to as King Arthurs nephew. Later in the text, when .....

.... within which it exists by any means possible. When the boys first land, they attempt to establish a form of order amongst themselves. After finding the conch, Ralph states, "Seems to me we ought to have a chief to decide things." Once Ralph is named chief, the boys decide to take down the names of all of the children. Being of grammar school age, this is expected. The taking of names is comparable to scholastic roll call. Granted, these are little boys and in their minds a chief is a leader, but still, it is expected that when suddenly removed from society, any group would attempt to mimic that which they had previously become accustomed to. Also, t .....

.... of his pain and let him die. The public and the hospital then scolded her. She was labeled a murderer. The author’s use of description was very detailed and very real. Reading this essay was like watching it on television. Every sentence was described with so much depth; there was no need to imagine the scenery or the excitement of the hospital. The healthy police officer was described as a young, witty macho cop with thirty-two pounds of attack equipment. When reading this, the vision of a man in a blue uniform with his gun and walkie-talkie enters the mind. When the man had been diagnosed with lung cancer he was described as a sixty pound skeleton being ke .....

.... animals. Being more intelligent than the other animals, they set themselves up as leaders above the rest of the animals. Another interesting character of Animal Farm was Old Major, the prize winning, well-revered boar. Although he died early in the novel, he influenced the entire story by inspiring this animal revolution by delivering a very inconciliatory speech. Snowball, one of the avaricious pigs, was a very acute, persuasive speaker. Napoleon, an eccentric fierce-looking Yorkshire boar, had a reputation for being taciturn, yet dogmatic. Of all the animals on the farm, Squealer was the propagandist. He was the one who revised the history that the animals .....

When Marlow expresses doubts about the nature of the work, she replies, 3You forget, dear Charlie, that the labourer is worthy of his hireý (12).

At one point, trying to justify his actions to himself, he says, 3You understand it was a continental concern, that Trading Society; but I have a lot of relations on the living continent, because it1s cheap and not so nasty as it looks they sayý (12). Marlow finally takes the job, however, and tells himself that the pai .....

.... for the arrows to begin piercing him" (O'Connor 405). Their relationship is mired with constant conflict because Julian is far too self-absorbed to appreciate the many sacrifices his mother has made for him. In his mind she is a "little girl" ignorant of the changing times. He comes to view himself as her savior who must teach her a thing or two about her outmoded viewpoints. And although Julian's criticisms of his mother do have merit, she is not the oblivious southern racist he makes her out to be.
