Having re-read it as an adult, individuals observe currently that sensible and unsentimental style of writing of Robert C O'Brien creates it all appear probable (Charlotte, 1998). Although they recognized the conclusion, they still discovered themselves drawn into the story from begin to end and entirely won over through the rodents of the title. Mrs. Frisby, a mouse, is attempting to watch out of her children on her individual since her husband was eaten through the cat of farmer, Dragon.
Just as the novel mentions, “he spoke as if Daisy’s reaction was the only thing that mattered.” (Fitzgerald, 2001: 192) Gatsby is nimble and ambitious in making money, which shows the “sagacity” of modern people, but towards love he gives us the impression of “a naive young man.” The reader may wonder what makes Gatsby great? Gatsby is great because of his loyalty to love. He has the desire to repeat the past, and the desire for money. For Gatsby, Daisy is the soul of his dreams. He believes he can regain Daisy.
“To those at the great house it means nothing, this handful of earth, but to me it means how much” (Buck 57)! Wang Lung’s heart explodes with pride because of his purchase.

However the one thing he desired most that money could never buy was his love and passion for Daisy. Gatsby believed that he could win the love of the woman he longed for by showering her with materialistic items. Tom also took great pride in his earnings and believed he was a better man because of them. He exclaims, “Now don’t think my opinion on this matter is final just because I’m stronger and more of a man than you are” (Fitzgerald). He, along with Gatsby feels content with the unnecessary materialistic items that he owns.
Where as all the nosey neighbors quickly interfere with phone calls and tea parties, Edward soon becomes a walking celebrity as he dazzles them with his talent on making there gardens, dogs and selves stunning with his hands, his scissorhands. Fame doesn’t change Edward as a person. He remains his self-conscious, loving self and through the blur of change he falls in love with Mrs. Bogg’s beautiful and delicate daughter, Kim (Winona Ryder). ‘Edward Scissorhands’ may have a tale of the original ‘Frankenstein’ but in my mind it has a twist of ‘Beauty and the Beast’.

Part 1: In my words, I think that it means that no matter how well you plan something, you should always expect the unexpected. Maybe if you think you’ve done all you can for something to go right, but it ends up messing up as planned. The reason the speaker is comparing mice to men is because in the story, if you really look into it, the author is comparing the human world with the animal world about George and Lennie. Mice and men are similar through out this story because if you actually sit and think about it, you’ll realize that mice are just the same, because they are living beings on this earth as well. In the end of the book they all end up the same, because George wants to own his own farm, Lennie wants to have his own rabbits,
Animal imagery was evident in both Of Mice and Men and “To a Mouse” by relating Lennie to the Mouse. Identification of humans with the animals was also reflected in both pieces of literature by dreams being shattered due to circumstances and the suffrage of men and animal was caused by society. Having seen how the title Of Mice and Men was borrowed from the poem “To a Mouse” Steinbeck skillfully used the characters to paint the connection between men and animal. He used metaphors to describe the characters. Steinbeck’s decision to compare Lennie to being the mouse gives the readers a more clear idea of how both men and animal are
Dickens also writes how Scrooge treated his Nephew Fred, badly, his nephew and only living relative is a very cheerful man who loves Christmas. He wishes his Uncle a Merry Christmas Scrooge replies ‘bah humbug’. "Why did you get married?" said Scrooge. "Because I fell in love."
This allows the message to sink into the reader. The title of the novel is an obvious indicator to the author’s purpose which is to criticise prejudiced societies and people in the world. The mockingbird symbol is referred to by a variety of characters; from Atticus to Miss Maudie to Mr Underwood who “likened Tom’s death to the senseless slaughter of songbirds”. Atticus’s message against harming those who have done no wrong is passed on to his son Jem who advises Scout to let a roly poly bug live “because they don’t bother you.” By doing this, Atticus exhibits that all it takes is the power of one to make a change to overcoming prejudice in people. His courage in defending ‘coloured’ Tom Robinson in a court case and enduring insults such as “nigger-lover,” helped to bring about the beginning of change in Maycomb.
