.... world has set a negative atmosphere for us so why should we try to change it? Why should we try to prove them wrong? We probably won’t be recognized, and even if we try, there will probably be someone waited to criticize us. It is a shame to say it but this is the way most of us feel. Young people don’t have an opinion until they are in trouble. We don’t get credit for the good things we do. How many times do you see the names of the students who are trying to make a difference printed in the newspaper compared to the number of times you see our names in the “arrest made” section?

.... as a lesson on how we, as people, should live our lives. A number of the characters from the book Animal Farm by George Orwell represent actual historical figures from the time of the Russian revolution or represent the behaviors of various types or classes of people during this event.

.... to celebrate how the world was once created and to insure harmony between all living things. Thomas King proves this thesis using the characters Alberta, and Lionel. Alberta Frank is a Native American woman teaching native studies to a small group of "white" students at the University of Calgary. This Native American woman is lecturing on the "destruction aimed at . . . reservations," a topic integral to her life, and one from which a great deal of passion should be generated.

.... "A & P." In Herman Melville's "Bartleby, the Scrivener" and John Updike's "A & P," the conflict of the individual thoughts and feelings versus the desire of society's institutions for conformity occurs with the characters who were different. Initially, a scrivener is someone who copies things for a living. The title "Bartleby, the Scrivener" describes Bartleby the complete opposite of what he actually is. He is asked to "join this interesting group." The narrator describes Bartleby as enclosing himself behind the walls of his office.
