Nine Tomorrows: Will Computers Control Humans In The Future?
Words: 865 - Pages: 4.... the Profession story people
would no longer read books to learn and improve their knowledge. People
would rely on the computers rather than "try to memorize enough to match
someone else who knows" (Nine Tomorrows, Profession 55). People would not
chose to study, they would only want to be educated by computer tapes.
Putting in knowledge would take less time than reading books and memorizing

world that Asimov describes. Humans might began to rely on computers and
allow them to control themselves by letting computers educate people.
Computers would start teaching hu .....

describes the overgrown vegetation of weeds around the prison. The weeds
symbolize how corrupt civilization really is. He also points out a positive
symbol, the wild rose bush. This represents the blossoming of good out of the
darkness of all civilized life.
The most important symbol which is carried throughout the novel is
undoubtedly the scarlet letter A. It initially symbolizes the immoral act of
adultery but by the end of the novel the "A" has hidden much more meaning than
that. The "A" appears in many other places than on the chest of Hester Prynne.
It is seen on the armor breastplate at Governor Bellingh .....

Catcher In The Rye: Holden Goes Through A Fall From His Innocence
Words: 969 - Pages: 4.... falls is because he gets really depressed when he can barely think
of anything he liked. The reason I think Holden gets so depressed is
because two of the people he names are dead. That's why he is so lonely
all the time. Holden finds things in common with Allie and James Castle
and since they're both dead he feels, in the back of his mind, that he
should also be dead which makes him depressed.
Another example of a fall for Holden is when he realizes he can't erase
even half the "fuck you's" in the world. This doesn't sound very important,
but it is symbolic because he realizes that he can not be the catcher in
the rye. His dream o .....

Words: 2161 - Pages: 8.... Miss Rosa tells Quentin about the
early days in Sutpen's life. It's here that Rosa explains to Quentin why
she wanted to visit old mansion on this day. She is the one narrator that

activity. Faulkner creates the complex narration beginning at chapter 2.
