There is another passage in the book when Paul describes the butterflies as being perched upon a skull and fly about the battlefield as if they do not have a care in the world. All this happens as they are shredded by the countless bullets. This is seemingly representing how even in the war, animals, whether they are butterflies or human, die over a rather small disagreement between a minority of humans. The mood that Remarque seems to be presenting is a melancholy comparison between two different animals, thus making a subtle hint that humans are no different than animals, that we are just another animal on the food chain. Again these butterflies are an indication of the delicate balance between life and death.
Next a meteor flies overhead and causes a total loss of power. The residents then start to panic and accuse neighbors of being aliens. Ultimately they become so irrational that they kill Pete Van Horn. This explains that the title is ironic because the people were waiting for the monsters to arrive when really the monsters were already
Whereas in Animal Farm, Napoleon had to banish his main competitor for the role of leading, Snowball. To accomplish this and to gain power, Napoleon uses his control over the dogs, which he raises to become brutal and violent dogs to drive Snowball out of the farm. " This moment Napoleon stood up and casting a peculiar side long look at Snowball, uttered a high-pitched whimper" (Page 33). This displays Napoleon's ambition to gain power, as he would take extreme measures to get rid off Snowball, so he could take control. Both these quotes focus on the terrible actions Macbeth and Napoleon would do to attain

When the boys are dancing and chanting around the bonfire, they mistake Simon for the beast and brutally kill him with “no words…but the tearing of teeth and claws. In all the excitement at the bonfire, the boys show that they have become undomesticated since when they first got to the island. Their obsession with the beast has led to development of animal-like instincts, causing them to react in violent behavior in order to protect themselves. Lastly, the third death in the novel is heartless and intentional murder, proving that the boys have lost all sense of sympathy and have turned to killing to maintain power over each other. After Roger pushes Piggy down the mountain knocking Piggy to his death, Jack steps forward and begins “screaming wildly” and warns Ralph that if he doesn’t join his tribe, that “that’s what [he’ll] get”.

.................... English 211x ..................... 24 October 2011 Imagery Within the Palace of Artificial Snows In the story “Lady Yeti and the Palace of Artificial Snows”, imagery is what creates the illusion within the story. Karen Russell creates this illusion by using descriptive images to describe what happens during the Blizzard, which points the imagination towards a chaotic, calming place. When Badger and Reggie first start witnessing the Blizzard, they are only observing and not taking part in what is happening. Reggie then describes what he is seeing: “Most of the adults were spinning in excitable circles, orbiting one another, sliding forward, colliding, collapsing -- then skating quickly back to the snow fans, to hide beneath the starry blasts of snow” (Russell; pg 143). Here are adults just letting go and having fun with not a care in the world.

Suddenly, the Buick stops and the driver opens the door. The driver of the Buick is so upset that he starts to run after the children.
The explicit puppet sex scene between Gary and Lady Penelope-lookalike Lisa is incredible, in every sense. And I joined the audience in its snowballing delirium at the scene when one of the guys, consumed with drunken self-loathing for having let down the team, hits rock bottom and vomits outside a bar for what seems like 20 minutes. The hi-tech magic of CGI might have expanded the realms of what is physically possible,

Blood a bones spill across the hardwood floor and the walls, painting them with a bright red.
