.... on old age death, and the other tends to focus on death of a war. In “The Geese” and “The Battle of the Ants”, there are several similarities. One similarity that can be seen in both of these essays is that animals represent human behavior. In “The Geese”, the old goose represents the old age of the narrator in the story. Since the narrator is old, he does not feel sympathy or compassion for the younger goose because his life is just starting. The young goose and narrator take on two different lives in which there is no activities or ideas in life that are the same. Also, in “The Battle of th .....

.... to go into detail with her argument and share her views with her audience. Douglas's conclusion is very simple, she leaves her audience with a question concerning the essay which is to help each individual reader create their own opinion on the power of media and it's effects on American culture today. Douglas clearly communicates her stance on the issue of the power of media throughout her essay. She believes the media has an extremely strong effect on American culture today and she does not believe the effect is a very good one for society. The media does an excellent job of pulling society into the advertisement which results in sal .....

.... reader due to the fact that it is used too frequently in Modern English. Another way that a metaphor can lose it's effect on the reader is when it is manipulated by the author and twisted out of context. For example, in another article, Randall Denley, speaks of the unions and their "kangaroo courts", a metaphor that is commonly used without any knowledge of it's meaning. In another article, metaphors like "His voice thunders..." and "...taken the theater scene by storm" are too frequently used just because the author lacks the imagination to make one up for himself, a common problem in Modern English. The use of dying metaphors could b .....

.... of the restraining actions of the society, the religion, and the super ego from which Meursault has freed himself. Meursault has taken on an image of a bare and innocent society shackled by the honesty it inspires, or, better stated, Meursault is the only honest man in a society that says more than it feels and much more than it believes. In direct parry to this social thrust, Meursault’s lawyer is given an extremely difficult role in this novel; he is forced to attempt to not only understand Meursault, which he cannot, but he also has to portray Meursault to the world as a creature of normal society, which is impossible, since the i .....

.... The occupants of London could stop following the rules of the Party, and start living as regular human beings. The citizens could stop fearing the Thought Police, and make a stand to demolish the whole empire known as Big Brother. The men and women have one way that could almost assure themselves of overthrowing the Party; create a revolt against Big Brother itself. The people could all get together, go to Big Brother to demand that they have their rights and that they can live a happy life if they please to do so. They can insist that Big Brother listen to every word that they have to say. If Big Brother does not care to liste .....

.... Justice Wargrave advised that all items that may cause danger be place in a safely locked place and that the keys be given to two people so that the stuff will be safe. " By the judge's direction, the various drugs were placed in the box and it was locked. The judge then gave the key of the chest to Philip Lombard and the key of the cupboard to Blore." (pg 141) The final way that the guests protected themselves was to keep close together as much as possible. "By all means. But in doing so let us be careful to keep together, if we separate, the murderer gets his chance." (pg 142) " I think, my dear young lady, we would all prefer to come .....

.... striving for excellence is quite unique. In an excerpt from Life On The Mississippi Twain tells us of a man with a dream. As imperfection has it this man’s dream did not come true. But his friend’s similar dream , however, did. The narrator tells us through a blanket of jealousy how this man was perpetually annoying, and how, “there was nothing generous about this fellow and his greatness.” Like many of Twain’s writings this excerpt shows us a man with convictions as he looks at a seemingly good example and puts it under a different light. Convictions that shine through in what could quite p .....

.... a conservative attitude pervades in New England, where Abigail and Hester lived. Both are startlingly similar in many ways. For one, both go through the same types of dilemmas, because they are both very much alone in their lives. Hester is shunned by society and lives on the outskirts of town.

Another similarity between the two is that they are both are adulteresses. Hester who commits adultery with Dimmesdale, her true love and Abigail commits adultery with John Proctor. On the other hand, Abigail Wil .....
