.... are running together when the father begins to grow tired. As the Rabbi falls farther and farther behind his son, his son runs on, pretending not to see what is happening to his father. This spectacle causes Elie to think of what he would do if his father ever became as weak as the Rabbi. He decides that he would never leave his father, even if staying with him would be the cause of his death. The German forces are so adept at breaking the spirits of the Jews that we can see the effects throughout Elie's novel. Elie's faith in God, above all other things, is strong at the onset of the novel, but grows weaker as it goes on. We see this when E .....

.... authority in Big Brother. Although we never come to know if Big Brother actually exists, the power and authority that this idol holds over the people is unimaginable. The people of Oceania are divided into two classes, the members of the Party and the proletariat. The Party members are like machines that do the jobs of the government. In this world, never has anyone thought any different of his or her place in society. Due to this authority that attempts to control the human train of thought, paranoia among the people became common. Nobody would talk to each other. Bonds between one another were broken, and it was never thought to be .....

.... the so-called "Beat Generation," particularly Jack Kerouac from Lowell, Massachusetts, changed America's interpretation of literature altogether. The writings of Jack Kerouac voice the desire of an era still clinging to the proverbial values of Middle America, and that is why Kerouac's works continue to enthrall the masses at large. On the Road exemplifies Kerouac's search for "IT," and the road is Sal Paradise's single guide; however, Sal's escapades with Dean Moriarty are most certainly energetic spurts of motivation and pure insanity. On the Road is the charismatic adventure of two men, hungry for life, taking the reader on four j .....

.... ties between Nora and Robbie are explored. Their family relationship is one based on dependence, and without this one factor the connection between the two results in fearfulness of being alone. Fear has a way of attacking our judgment and this is what makes associations between people an apprehensive and hard act. The story is set in Quebec during the 1940-1950, when what you were was the definition of who you were. As the story opens we are presented with the main character Bernadette, who is concluding that she is one hundred and twenty-six days pregnant.

.... mattered. He proved his accomplishment. What an insane way to act. I would want the world to know of my great accomplishment. I believe this made Gene crazy. That is was so easy for Finney to decide to break the swim record and not really care. Personally this was hard for me to understand. I think this concept requires and older persons maturity to understand. Jumping off a tree into the river once is an adventure, continually attempting this act is crazy. Finney was in control of this situation. Gene hated this ritual. He continued to do it because Finney said so. It seems that Gene disliked the fact that Finney had this control over him .....
