The first and third sentences of the passage are long, while the second is short and simple. The long and powerful sentences surround the shortest one, drawing a parallel to the Party's inescapable control over Winston. The Party controls him by making him feel isolated, proving that his thought is corrupted. Winston believes that "[h]e was alone" (25).

He also makes it seem like everything is crumbling around Paul, and destroying all hope of survival and return to normal life for anyone who had experienced the front line. This is very different from pro-war poetry, which makes war seem fun. Something Remarque does either subconsciously or very well, is to make you feel sorry for the German and Central Powers’ soldiers, and to grow a subliminal hate for the allied soldiers, no matter who’s side you came in on. The Textbook also does this well, but in reverse. The Textbook gives off a sense of dislike towards the Central Powers, and made them seem primitive and destructive for no reason.
He gives specific mentions to candidates running against Marcus, describing unethical actions that they have done in their personal lives. Cicero suggests using that information as ammunition against his opponent and focusing on why the competition would not be a good choice. While this is a great way to convince voters to not vote for somebody, it ends up shedding negative light on both campaigns in question. This is not part of Obama’s campaign because it makes him look desperate and weak. Attacking your opponent with personal insults is simply childish and completely irrelevant to the political issues that need to be solved.

Loss of Humanity Brave New World, written by Aldous Huxley, is a satirical piece of fiction, based on a false symbol of any type of universal happiness. Huxley writes about a society stripped of corrupt behavior, lack of morals, religion, essence of a family unit and human emotion. Huxley creates a dystopian world where a totalitarian government controls society by using technology and science. The price for happiness in the Brave New World is simple, loss of individualism.

That man left to his institutions and placing himself above the will of the people, will surely lead to tyranny. Burke could very well (in my opinion) be talking to the politicians of today when he said he would sound wild and chimerical or that he was not in touch with reality, but that it was them the members of parliament that were “the profane herd of those vulgar and mechanical politicians” (Burke, 1775, Speech on reconciliation with America pg 2), that they have no place among the common people grappling with everyday reality in our pursuit of happiness.

I was pleasantly surprised at his ability to put the situation on a higher plain then just a gripe by the Americans don’t want to be taxed and pay their fair share, but to bring into the English mind that maybe they have lost touch with what previous generations or ancestors had accomplished in the English constitution, and putting the financial woes of the country aside and personal feelings about the Americans aside, that there might be a better way to conciliation with the
