.... that Orwell's thoughts on power were not so far fetched, but actually fairly accurate. In the plot Orwell shows many examples of the government being kind of like a gang. Orwell shows that if you are part of the system that you can not get out. If people try to get around the system they will get punished they will get hurt or killed. People get into gangs not really knowing what they are getting into until the have entered. Many times after a while they realize the gangs beliefs and do not obey by them. The party controlled Oceania people's life in such ways as a gang sometimes does. “Our control over matter is absolute (pg. 218).” The plot shows man .....

.... On the Road, the author uses the fictional character of Sal Paradise to narrate Kerouac's account of two cross country trips which he made in the United States during the late 1940's. Both authors have created fictional characters behind which they are able to freely account for some of their own adventures and observations. Twain's style of writing is that of a deadpan narrator, who tells of Huck's foibles without Huck being able to laugh at himself because he does not know that some of the things he does are funny (Bloom, p.32). Many times Huck's remarks are two sided- Huck is serious about what he is saying, and Twain is using Huck's character to sh .....

.... 22 verse tales (two unfinished) and two long prose tales; a few are thought to be pieces written earlier by Chaucer. The Canterbury Tales, composed of more than 18,000 lines of poetry, is made up of separate blocks of one or more tales with links introducing and joining stories within a block. The tales represent nearly every variety of medieval story at its best. The special genius of Chaucer's work, however, lies in the dramatic interaction between the tales and the framing story. After the Knight's courtly and philosophical romance about noble love, the Miller interrupts with a deliciously bawdy story of seduction aimed at the Reeve (an offi .....

.... of at least one of the cardinal virtues, and this is mine: I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known.” All along, I felt sorry for Nick being dragged into more and more tragedy, but I especially felt bad for him during one instance.

Daisy and Gatsby were driving home from town after an argument amongst the group of friends when they passed the Wilson’s gas station.

Through their hardships they ended up going separate ways. Addison went into politics where he became a popular figure in society.(World Book Addison) Steele went to the military where he later got knighted.

.... but the technique the author uses can change something offensive into something embarrassing. Stephen Leacock's Arcadian Adventures with the Idle Rich is a nonthreatening, humorous, and revealing satire of the moral faults of upper class society. The satire acts as a moral instrument to expose the effect money can have on religion, government, and anything within its touch. Writing about such topics is hard to do without offending people. Leacock's technique combines money with humour, and accompanies his moral message with ironic characters; their exaggerated actions, and a constant comical tone to prevent readers from being offended. Leacock's ut .....

.... majority of the body of the work was Arthur's different attempts to achieve Right. This communicates the idea that perhaps Right cannot be obtained, but it is the struggle to obtain it that is, in essence, Right. Revenge is also a powerful factor in the novel. It is the driving force behind many character's quarrels with the King. Morgause seduced Arthur and produced Mordred out of her desire for revenge on Uther, Arthur's father, for the murder of the Duke of Cornwall, her father, and Uther's marriage to Igraine, her mother. Mordred himself plotted the war against the King because he was the King's illegitimate child. It is evident that characters in th .....

He has recently been released from prison and seems to be concerned only for himself. He wakes each morning only wanting work for money and food for his sto .....
