Oedipa Mass, just like us, is forced to either involve herself in the deciphering of clues or not to participate at all in what she suspects to be a conspiracy. Her role is comparable to the role of Maxwellˇ¦s Demon. ˇ§As the Demon sat and sorted his molecules into hot and cold, the system was said to lose entropy. But somehow the loss was offset by the information the Demon gained about what molecules were whereˇ¨ (p.105). Oedipaˇ¦s purpose in the novel, besides executing a will, is to find meaning in a life dominated by assaults on peopleˇ¦s perceptions through .....

.... as Miller so clearly points out in his play “The Crucible”. This essay will explore the motives of characters within the play and even the motives of Arthur Miller himself and therefore show how conflict stems from certain recognisable human failings including those mentioned above, fear, and hysteria.

.... that is written. In writing the letter Toby, Fabian and Andrew were sure to play on all of Malvolio's emotions; instead of trying to fool Malvolio; they let Malvolio fool himself. The letter was written, in Malvolio's mind, as if it was written to him. That was the intent of the three fools, but Malvolio exaggerated every sentence with his own inflated ego.

.... cluttered it tends to bore and confuse the reader. Zinsser points out that the secret of good writing is to strip the sentence of all unnecessary words. When Zinsser is proving this point in his essay he uses the example of the president of a major university writing a very unclear letter to state a problem the school was experiencing. Zinsser translates the letter to read the actual message that everyone can understand. The way Zinsser writes the essay it is easy to understand. He uses everyday words not dictionary words.
