.... something untrue to life. Human beings change, and Burgess wanted his protagonist to mature rather than stay in adolescent aggression. The twenty-first chapter shows this change, and the chapter is important because it includes Alex's mature assessment of his own adolescence and shows the importance of maturity to moral freedom which is Burgess's main point. Burgess has presented his definition of moral freedom in both his introduction and in his novel. Burgess's definition of moral freedom as the ability to perform both good and evil is presented by implication in his discussion of the first kind of clockwork orange. In his introduction, he states that if .....

.... people talked about. There was an unspoken silence of live and let live even though there was vast amounts of discrimination. Liberty, a thing taken for granted since all born on American soil are free men and women, thus no one cherishes that part of the dream either. The pursuit of happiness is befuddling.

Daisy made this clear when Gatsby gave her the ring and she wouldn’t ware it. And she said “be my friend, be my lover” meaning she wanted him yet she wanted her life of flirting with the in crowd .....

.... harvest dance and the reminder of the contract. There are three main characters in this short story/movie. They are Scratch, Daniel Webster, and Jabez Stone. The actors picked for the roles fit almost perfectly to the descriptions of the characters in the short story. Scratch is described as a " soft-spoken, dark-dressed stranger…white teeth...were filed to a point". As shown in the movie the actor was also a very darkly clad man. He also had a very soft, hypnotic voice and whenever he smiled his teeth were very shiny and pointy. The man described as "the biggest man in the country…when he stood up to speak, stars and stripes came right out of .....

.... 96 children, all of them identical in feature, form, and brainpower. When the babies are born, they automatically get classified into a caste. The caste system consists of Alphas, Betas, Gammas, Deltas, and Epsilons, each caste ranging from minus to plus. Throughout the novel, Huxley describes everyday circumstances in which these people take part. For example, the cinema has been replaced with the "feelies", a type of moving picture that will give physical as well as visual and aural delight. Spearmint gum has given way to sex hormone chewing gum. Speaking about sex, causal sex is something that everyone participates in. In fact, in you don’t yo .....

.... Soul of the World or the will of God, it is an unstoppable force. If there is a will there is a way. Santiago's goal was to reach the treasure at the pyramids in Egypt.

.... has interpreted the protagonist as a lover of all creatures is manipulated by Hemingway's usage of biblical allusions to suggest a concealed Christ figure in the old man, Santiago. Hemingway's novel uses the timeless theme of man versus nature to tell a story, with the support of allusions to Christ, of an old man who, after losing his only reason for living, strives to prove himself a superior individual and discover the meaning of life through nature. The name Santiago is a biblical reference that translated into English means Saint James. Those who are direly active with the Christian religion and have read "The Old Man and the Sea" perceive the old ma .....

.... Catcher in the Rye is the book preferred 9 times out of ten by whackos, serial killers, and disgruntled teenagers. (ok, there's not much difference in those categories but bear with me.) John Lennon was killed to promote this book. John Hinkley may have been trying to impress Jody Foster, but he was also a big Catcher in the Rye fan. The level of general craziness surrounding this book is so bad that Conspiracy Theory made it the running joke, even tracking Mel Gibson by monitoring purchases of The Catcher in the Rye. So why is this book so influential? Why do normal people have underlined copies in their personal library? Why is every book about whiney lo .....
