... express in the novel 1984 by George Orwell the most interesting and frightening is the concept of creating an alternative reality to control a mass population. The Inner Party stays in power by shaping the thoughts and opinions of the masses and it does this by creating a reality where everything suits whatever it is the party needs to be believed. This is accomplished in three ways. The first is revisionism or the act of changing facts such as history so that the Party is always made to look good and mobilize popular opinion against its enemies. The second way the party creates an artificial reality is through artificial scarcity. There is no need for the c ...
... Irony can be seen in the name of the leader of Oceania, "Big Brother." The concept of a big brother is one whom is older and wiser and helps the "littler siblings" -- this not the case with 1984's Big Brother. The Big Brother in this novel completely watches over every move a person makes keeping them controlled with fear. The next type of irony is Situation irony, which is when a character or a sequence of events appears to be headed one way, but it ends up as the opposite of what was thought. One example of this is Winston's general health. From the beginning of the book, it is shown how horrible his health is and is continually getting worse and more difficu ...
... anywhere on stage. To stage left was the main cabin/deck. The cabin was on the bottom, which included a door, and a window that was both used. There were also two sets of stairs to the top deck.

Also up there was another entrance/exit. As well as another by the cabin on the bottom as well as in the cabin. To stage right there was a movable rope holder that is a hug part of the ending. Lower stage right are typical supplies a ship would store, such as crates and extra rope. There ar ...
... They wanted him to become a preacher, but he didn’t want to. Differences that were highly noticeable were that in the novel, the interviewer was a teacher that wanted her information for his class and in the movie, it was a magazine reporter. When Albert Clevoue died in the novel, the chariots of hell came for him, and in the movie, you don’t even hear of his death. In the novel, it was a black horse that killed Joe Pittman, and the movie, white. In conclusion, the novel had more, described the stories more thoroughly. One might find that the novel is much more enlightening than the movie, but it takes more time to read the novel than it does to wat ...
... of the family, and his job was very important; the whole future of Gregor and his family depended on it (p.84). For so long he wanted to quit his work, because he wasn't happy with it. But he said to himself, " Besides, I have to provide for my parents and my sister. (pp. 82-83)." He felt that his family was too dependent of him. When Gregor wouldnt let anyone in his room in fear that they would be horrified by his condition, he thought that his family was harassing him because he was in danger of losing his job, and because the chief would begin harassing his parents again for the old debts" (p. 76). At this point, everyone was angry and wanted him to get up ...

... uses the use and description of character to create the effect. Poe describes his friend Usher as having a cadaverous complexion, a large eye, small and thin lips, a nose delicate of a Hebrew model, and a finely molded chin. It is stated that the features make up a countenance not easily forgotten, by stating this he is pictured in the mind as being a horrifying character. Poe describes the look the disease has given Usher, a faint blush upon her bosom, and her smile upon the lip which is so terrible in death. Poe uses character to develop terror in his story. The theme of “The Fall of the House of Usher” contributes to the total effect. The the ...
... profession, where patients, students, colleagues and the profession itself can become scapegoats for the broader collective. They are also important in interactions with the identified patient's family and in family therapy (see family therapy texts). The cross-cultural and transcultural nature of scapegoating is explored in Sir James Frazer's "The Golden Bough"; and the underlying structure is elaborated in René Girard's "Le bouc émissaire." "The Lottery" also serves well to illustrate the role of literary theory in literature and medicine, particularly reader response theory, hermeneutics, and narratology. In “The Lottery”, one of Shirley Jackson’s mo ...
... starts to decay, "...and the incarnation was complete". The incarnation meaning Daisy cannot be ideally perfect anymore now that Gatsby's with her. Daisy is not pure and perfect like Gatsby thought she was in the past. From Gatsby's illusions of the past preoccupying all his thoughts, he forgets about the key dimension he exists in which is the present. Although Gatsby was persistent on reliving the past, Gatsby vaguely lived for the present. This is apparent when he cancels his biology by leaving home, changing his name, and leaving his heritage behind which was not done by following the past. In the past Jay Gatsby made, "...a platonic c ...
