.... a typical male profession. Hurston was born on January 7, 1891 in Eatonville, Florida, the first all-incorporated black town in America. She found a special thing in this town, where she said, "… [I] grew like a like a gourd and yelled bass like a gator," (Gale, 1). When Hurston was thirteen she was removed from school and sent to care for her brother's children. She became a member of a traveling theater at the age of sixteen, and then found herself working as a maid for a white woman.

.... offers Willy a job when Willy gets fired. However, Willy refuses because he is so stubborn. Charley is always nice to him and has given him money so that Willy can pretend he is getting a paycheck. Charley also gives him advice that would help him become successful, but he doesn’t take it because that would mean conceding that Charley is successful and he isn’t. Another example of his stubborness is the fact that he refuses to accept the fact that his philosophy of business (becoming successful by appearance and being well-like) doesn’t work. He grew up being told those ideas but times have changed. Society has beco .....

.... I find them together everywhere, in every death case. For Barthelme, what is lost is unrecoverable. Pessimism, mostly expressed in taking death naturally, spreads uniformly all over the story, from the first paragraph about the orange trees to the last when the new gerbil enters the classroom. In this school, where the children are supposed to receive education, everything dies. The fish, the salamander, and the orange trees die though children take much care of them. The teacher is pessimistic although life goes on and a new gerbil walks in the school. Edgar says that "life is that which gives meaning to life," but still this do .....

.... similar to this are given in the book and help explain the way in which the socialist government of Oceania operates. It explains how a strong ruler can manipulate facts to fit his or her own intentions, which is often what socialist rulers may have done and still may do. Many of the ideas in 1984 were written to show predictions of what the world might be like if people did not question and act on what was happening around them. Orwell wrote 1984 after World War II when socialist governments which had gone wrong, like Russia, were becoming a powerful force in the world. Orwell, having once fought against Communist Russia, sa .....

.... of the Massachusetts Bay Colony designated several of the colony’s leading citizens to assemble a special court responsible for trying all those suspected of witchcraft. It was at this point that the Salem witch trials began and would later be the plot of a major 19th century play. It was 1953 when Arthur Miller wrote The Crucible, which translates to "the test", a play based on the actual events of the witch trials in Salem during 1692. Although Miller’s play is a strong story about what took place in Salem Village, it was inspired by Miller’s belief that the madness surrounding the witchcraft trials is parallel .....

.... Elizabethan period (due to the reign of Queen Elizabeth) was in progress, and the swing to a brighter, more personalized time took place. People began to turn away from seeking their sole purpose through religion and politics, and began to focus more on intellectual stingers such as philosophy, science, art, music, and writing. During all of this, conventions, or habitual patterns in literature began to change. Again, for the most part this affected the non-prose area of literature, however there were some noticeable changes, which affected prose writings. The use of the pastoral convention concerned itself with love, pursuit of cont .....

.... it have long been disregarded and are now despised, "Mother, monogamy, romance. High spurts the fountain; fierce and foamy the wild jet. The urge has but a single outlet."

The society values, ACOMMUNITY, IDENTITY, STABILITY," (Huxley 1) supersede all else in a collective effort. Soma, the magical ultimate drug is what keeps the population from revolting. " .....

.... shows the Party's ideal woman: "She had a bold, aquiline face, a face that one might have called noble until one discovered that there was as nearly as possible nothing behind it. Very early in their married life...that she had without exception the most stupid, vulgar, empty mind he had ever encountered. She had not a thought in her head that was not a slogan, and there was no imbecility, absolutely none, that she was not capable of swallowing if the Party handed it out to her." (Orwell, 58) This was what the Party wanted-a person so brain dead and brain washed that they willingly acknowledged as the truth anything the Party dished o .....
