Critic Mary Katherine Grant says of Oates’ themes: " ‘Her (Oates) present body of fiction tells the tragic tale of a decade wasted by war, assassinations, and riots, and a people paralyzed by their fear of being powerless to change things. But her works do more than merely chronicle the horrors of the sixties and early seventies, they are efforts to raise the consciousness of ordinary people to the realization of the destruction of their lives, to ‘show us how to get through and transcend pain,’ to encourage us to continue the struggle to put some meaning into human life’ "(Grant, qtd. in www.kutztown).
Oates writes stories concerning common American .....

John Steinbeck
<view this essay>.... symbol in “Flight” is the color black. In literature many authors use the color black to represent death. In his short story, “Flight,” Steinbeck has numerous examples of color symbolism. A few examples are the black handle on the long blade, Pepe’s black hair, and the black jerky. Another example may be found when Pepé puts on his fathers black coat, which represents death. When Pepé puts on the coat he is literally covering himself with death. Another fine example is the trail in which Pepé travels. Steinbeck describes the path as a well-worn black path. By traveling on this path he is in fact taking the road of death. Furthermore Pepé's appearance also helps .....

Big Brother, a fictional or real person—no one really knows—is the leader of this miserable system of Ingsoc—English Socialism, that is.

To enforce these laws, Big Brother uses many means, the first and foremost of these being the Thought Police, a corps of law officers who monitor the populace through undercover agents, infinite amounts of surveillance cameras and hidden microphones, and a two-way television screen that can be turned down, but never off. A new language is also being introduced to .....

Beowulf Man Or Myth
<view this essay>.... in a series of actions. Author exaggerates on the character of Beowulf, the story is a fantasy, because it is hard to believe that the character of Beowulf would be able to kill a monster like Grendel with his bare hands.
