The Celestine Prophecy
Words: 436 - Pages: 2.... and
unbelieveable than Barbie paper dolls. "The characters...are featureless
mouthpiecesfor the monotone authorial voice," says Moyle. A major problem I had
with reading The Celestine Prophecy was keeping track of who was who; the
characters have little or no distinction between them, and it was a bit
confusing because he keeps encountering the same people in different situations.

I think it's just plain repetative. The only way I got complete understanding
was to make no .....

The Red Badge Of Courage
Words: 467 - Pages: 2.... All his thoughts and wild imagination impressed me. He would describe death as a being that could swallow him whole, and ramble on about wonderful sunsets.

For instance, on page 34, he questions others in hope that their answers would comfort him. He feels disassociated from others, "The Youth, considering himself separated from the others..." (p29).

Name And Naming In Beloved
Words: 995 - Pages: 4.... and interpersonal relationships are all communicated through naming.
Sixo, perhaps the most absurd name in Beloved, epitomizes the dehumanisation of slavery in Beloved. While the origin of the name Sixo is not specifically stated in the novel, it can be assumed that it was derived from the number given to him when being bought and sold. The recognition of a person by number is indicative of sub-human status, common to institutions such as a prison camp where efficiency takes precedence over humanity. It is difficult to acknowledge the title Sixo, as a name, as it is more of an enumeration. The names of the other Sweet Home also .....
