This rebellion was not allowed by society and the Handicapper General, Diana Moon Glampers. “Harrison’s scrap-iron handicaps crashed to the floor,” (25). He ripped his and a ballerina’s handicaps off, had musicians play music without handicaps’ and doing so, Harrison illustrated his quality of being a non-conformist in this short story. Vonnegut crafted Harrison, a rebel in this story, to illustrate the irony that governmental control of a society and equality ruins individualism. Hazel is neither a non-conformist or conformist in Vonnegut’s short story.
Surreal Events in the short story The Bucket Rider The Bucket Rider "Please, Coal Dealer, give me a little Coal." "The Bucket Rider" is a short story about a man who is in desperate need of coal. Through further analysis of the story, I have come to a consensus that there are many surreal events present in the story. The use of these surreal events enhances the story making it a lot more interesting. To begin the analysis of the surreal events, we should start from the title of the story "The Bucket Rider", and then moves towards the surreal event related to it.
It also illustrates the relationship of Lenny and George, and the position of caretaker that George assumes-for example-when Lenny is worried that this will cause Lenny to lose the privilege of caring for the bunnies. George is the caretaker, Lenny the receiver, much like Candy's relationship to the lame dog. In addition to the other very good answers here, I encourage you to think not only of the characters, but of the "groups" which the pair represent, Lennie and Curley. Rene rightly points out that Lennie "doesn't know his own strength." The overarching point here is that none of the "underdogs" know their own strength.
Essay question: How do the writers of “The Monkey’s Paw” and “The Tell-Tale Heart” create an atmosphere of tension, fear, and ultimately horror? This essay will discuss how the writers of “The Monkey’s Paw” and “The Tell-Tale Heart” create an atmosphere of tension, fear, and ultimately, horror. “The Monkey’s Paw” begins with the description of the setting. The weather outside is described as “cold and wet”, which immediately creates tension as bad things often happen in bad weather in stories. In “The Monkey’s Paw”, however, the weather is sunny when the Whites find out about Herbert’s death, but this is a natural event (although there are implications that the paw – something supernatural – has caused it).
“It was a pleasure to burn. It was a special pleasure to see things eaten, to see things blackened and changed”(1). And in this story it happens all too often. So much so in fact, that after a while the flames do not satisfy the reader and there needs to be symbolism hidden in the blaze or it burns out. Fahrenheit 451 is a novel by the great author Ray Bradbury, and in this synopsis of such, I will explore the elements of symbolism present in the simple inanimate objects existing throughout this story.
Mike Judge fantasticly highlights the absurdities through his use of characters and blatantly obvious situations of pointless office work. Just as it is completely absurd to have humans cooped up in tiny cubicles all day; it’s likewise just as if not more absurd to expect monkeys to produce Hamlet. Mike Judge is the director I would like to hire because he would highlight the comical lunacy in tasking monkeys to produce Hamlet. Mike Judge was a cartoon director up until his movie Office Space so he has experience with non-human characters.

To Kill a Mockingbird "Ignorant individuals are those who refuse to see the world through the eyes of another." - Matthew Michael James once said. Ignorance is something that is oblivious to humans and are not aware of their lack of knowledge about other people. In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, displays Attics Finch a lawyer that was chosen to defend Tom Robinson's life from the racist people in Maycomb County such as Bob Ewell, and to always be their for his two children Scout, and Jem that experience many conflicts throughout the novel. Two characters that show bewilderment throughout the course of the novel is Scout, and Bob Ewell.
That’s fairly safe. But I warn you, sir, you can’t compete with all these monkeyshines.”(Lawrence and Lee, 16) By this, Hornbeck means to sound like he is ridiculing the issue of evolutionism referring to the fact that man stemmed from monkeys and referring to it as grandpa. Also the fact that he belittles a serious issue by mocking creationists when speaking on evolutionism, as everyone in this town believes in god. Therefore, Hornbeck’s taunting results in the idea that evolutionism is a joke to him. Hornbeck further continues to ridicule both creationism and evolutionism, sarcastically remarking “How could you ask for better proof than that?
This distinguishes his class an society when compared to Macbeth. He appears to be a simple man, who opens the scene with a joke about the door of inverness (Ironically Macbeths castle gates). Here, he compares the doors of inverness to the gates of hell. The bloody and cruel events which have taken place within the castle, just prior to this scene come to mind and mark this joke as an irony. His cry – WHOS THERE ITH NAME OF BEELZEBUB (which means devil) further develops the analogy of the the relation of the inverness with hell.
