.... violence, such as the fictional society in Michel’s book, one must first look at in America today, secondly explore possible causes for , and finally find solutions that will help stop . First off, in order to curb the rise in it is necessary to realize how serious this problem truly is. According to the Chicago Tribune, “There are three million crimes committed on school campuses every year. That's sixteen thousand crimes per day - one crime every six seconds.” Even more frightening is the fact that thirty-five percent of high school students in high crime areas report carrying a firearm regularly. Juvenile arrests ac .....

By Canadian law McDonald could no longer live or be among her own people. She was devasted, spiritually wounded. Her “roots�, which is one of the most important aspects of Indian culture, were severed. “I stood alone, once more, but this time naked--stripped of my identity and banished into a world of alienation and discrimination� (73). That, however, did not stop her to become educated, strong woman, highly respected in her community. The author emphasizes on her materially poor childhood but v .....

.... Yet despite the humiliation, the blood, and the pain, the narrator concentrates on his speech whether or not the whites would be able to “recognize my ability.” The invisible man’s desire of praise from the whites made him a vulnerable character to be taken advantage of, by not only the whites, but also other characters, like Dr. Bledsoe. Dr. Bledsoe gave the invisible man the role of an inferior fool. Not seeing the person who the invisible man was, Dr. Bledsoe kicked the invisible man out of school for his own benefits. Because the invisible man wanted to be successful, he did not want to undermine the white society, a .....

The man was faced with weather that was 75 degrees below zero and he was not physically or mentally prepared for survival. London wrote that the cold "did not lead him to meditate upon his frailty as a creature of temperature, and upon man's frailty in general, able only to live within certain narrow limits of heat and cold."(p.1745) At first when the man started his journey to the camp, he felt certain that he could make it back to camp before dinner. As the trip progressed, the man made mistake after mistake that sealed his fate. The man's .....

.... a difference in the approach taken by psychoanalytic critics. For example, those of Freud's generation would concentrate on the author and his state of mind, however, later critics focussed more on an analysis of the characters. A psychoanalytic interpretation of The Turn of the Screw can bring about many questions. Primarily those concerning the ghosts, the sanity of the governess and the goodness of the children. A psychoanalytic reading of the novel reveals that the governess is a mad sexual hysteric, which, in turn, leads to the ghosts being read as hallucinations or projections of her sexual fears brought about in hysteric fits. This .....

.... www.http://elibrary.com In this paragraph, Doug Levy is stating how this book has been criticized since the beginning. Huckleberry Finn was not accepted because he was not racist. He also discusses the friendly and loyal relationship between Huck and Jim. Their friendship was not acceptable in the days when this story took place. A white person could have been prosecuted if caught trying to escape with slaves. Mainly what they are trying to put across here is that how could Mark Twain be a racist when all of his characters (with the exception of a few) are kind and loving towards their slaves? “Because of his upbringing, the boy starts out .....

.... Let's say our DNA will be spliced and edited so we can all enjoy life-long bliss, awesome peak experiences, and a spectrum of outrageously good designer- drugs. Nor does Huxley's comparatively sympathetic account of the life of the Savage on the Reservation convey just how nasty the old regime of pain, disease and unhappiness can be. If you think it does, then you enjoy an enviably sheltered life and an enviably cosy imagination. For it's all sugar-coated pseudo-realism. In BNW, Huxley contrives to exploit the anxieties of his bourgeois audience about both Soviet Communism and Fordist American capitalism. He taps into, and th .....

.... someone as a pervert. This is also the only time in the novel when Holden considers a positive side. This event, however, does not constitute a significant change, as even Holden himself says, "It's not too bad when the sun's out, but the sun only comes out when it feels like coming out.� The sun, of course, is a reference to decency through the common association of light and goodness. Thus, Holden’s perception of the world remains, essentially, unchanged. The belief that does change during the book is that Holden can evade or protect the world. He sees a corrupt environment, and at first, believes that he must either pro .....
