Orwell illustrates his true identity by using internal oscillation illuminating his natural morals, but ignoring and substituting them for those of the arbitrating community, soon realizing he has become overpowered by his mask. Ehrenreich disguises herself to accurately understand the life of overworked and underpaid workers in America. Similar to Orwell, after donning the mask for a protracted period of time the mask binds itself, overriding her individuality. Through her experiment, she is able to associate that monetary value is analogous to personal value. Masks can be either beneficial or detrimental; Orwell conceals his true self, failing to withhold conformity, proving

Trina Duong Ms. Reeves APEL 3 June 15, 2016 Critique A Farewell to Arm by Ernest Hemingway is a romantic novel about an American ambulance lieutenant, Frederic Henry, and his love interest, an English nurse, Catherine Barkley. This takes place during World War I, in which the war has a significant impact towards the relationship of Henry and Barkley.

Hemingway’s introduction to the novel was very unique.

Okonkwo let his anger get the best of him and violated the code of the Ibo people.
