... not rule over other animals. Old Major encourages the animals of the farm to revolt against Mr. Jones, the owner of the farm. Not long after, he dies, but the animals keep his ideas of Animalism (which is essentially Communism) alive and the pigs, who are the most clever animals on the farm, begin to plan a revolution. One day, the workers on the farm forget to feed the animals, and so some of the more powerful horses break down the door to the barn where the feed is stored, and the animals enjoy a feast. When Mr. Jones learns of this, however, he immediately orders all of the animals to be punished appropriately. As they are being whipped and beaten, the animals s ...
... is one of disgust. Achebe uses positive connotations and imagery: "The sun rose slowly to the center of the sky..." "...a peaceful dance..." "...taking one of the titles of his clan, with music and dancing and a great feast." to depict the jungle as a lively, animated, and supportive dwelling. His images of "The sun breaking through..." contrast heavily with Conrad's dark and gloomy imagery. Conrad is more biased from the beginning against the African people, seeing them as an extension of the "impenetrable forest" where his character Marlow is, "...cut off for ever from everything you had know once... "[sic] Marlow's jungle is one of, Aplants, and water, and sil ...
... continue with what he is doing and listen to Danforth or should he listen to his conscience? He does try a feeble attempt to talk to Danforth and explain how their actions are unjust, but again, his inner struggle pulls him back to a more moderate stand. Hale then decides to persuade the wrongly accused to confess witchcraft. At least this will save them from death by hanging. He preaches perjury to the people, even though this is also against their religion. Hale’s principles were ridden with guilt and sadness because of his struggle with himself. John Proctor a farmer and village commoner is similarly faced with an inner turmoil. He has committed adultery wit ...
... individual emotions is a key aspect of this novel. This is a topic that is very important to daily life. A person's individuality is based on their emotions and this lack of emotions conveys the lack of individuality that is present throughout the society. A reader will enjoy this because individuality is a key aspect of life. People strive to make themselves known for who they are and not for what nation they represent. Society is trying to detract itself from discrimination due to race, gender or any other characteristic. The lack of individuality present in "Brave New World" appeals to the reader's need for individuality and causes them to take interes ...
... living through some crucial event your mind keeps shifting from one thing to another, sometimes quickly and dramatically, sometimes inventing hypothetical situations to use as comparisons or differences? This is similar to the case as seen in Billy Budd. The Book doesn’t work in a strict and orderly fashion but starts out to describe at length different characters, then moves to fast actions, slows down again to a very argued trail, then draws rapidly to a close with Billy’s hanging. Even after that event, (the hanging), the book lingers on with a comment of it and ties up all loose ends (Captain Vere dieing etc…). Though this story lacks orthodox ...
... reveals another green world, the green world of youth. Like schoolchildren, the young soldiers circulate rumor within the regiment. This natural setting proves an ironic place for killing, just as these fresh men seem the wrong ones to be fighting in the Civil War. Crane remarks on this later in the narrative: "He was aware that these battalions with their commotions were woven red and startling into the gentle fabric of the softened greens and browns. It looked to be a wrong place for a battlefield" (69). Green is an image of the natural world and of the regiment's fresh youth, while red, in the previous quote, is clearly an image of battle. At the start, howe ...
... some good situational irony. A good example is when the pigs begin to walk, something that they vowed they would never do, or when they got drunk, again, something they vowed they would never do. In addition to verbal and situational irony, we can too find some dramatic irony. When Boxer is sent off to be slaughtered, the characters trust Squealer when he says Boxer is being taking off to a hospital, but the reader knows the truth. While that is a good example, the best, perhaps, is the ending where it is stated that the onlooker could not tell the difference between pig and man. The two most prominent themes in Animal Farm, freedom and oppression, play a ver ...
... is great about the element of surprise. For every surprise, there are "Surprisers" and "Surprisees". "Surprisers" are the ones who are part of the orchestration of the surprise event. The "surprisee" is the one or the group to which the surprise is being aimed or "focused in on". Surprises are very healthy, for they are full of spirit, creative mischief, are a lot of fun and usually, everyone involved is "in" on the creation or "play". Now, sometimes, like at people's birthdays, the "surprisee" never knows about it. Other times, they can feel it in the vibration of the person or people surrounding the person who is planning or orchestrating the event. However ...
... One day a strange giant appeared in Asgard and offered to rebuild the wall that has been destroyed in the war between the Aesir and Vanir. In return Loki, the god who always knew when trouble was taking place, would give the giant the sun, the moon and the goddess Freya. Loki gave him from the first day of winter to the first day of summer to finish the wall or else he will not get his reward. The stranger asked if he could use his stallion to rebuild the wall and Loki agreed, not knowing that it was the stallion that helped speed up the work. Time passed, until there was three days left until summer and the stranger was almost done. The gods were frightene ...
