Lennie faced a lot of dilemmas in “Of Mice and Men” and Cosmo has faced some dilemmas in his show. Lennie was faced with the choice of doing right or wrong, the tricky thing is he doesn’t know the difference between right and wrong. He just remembers (sometimes) what George tells him. Lennie doesn’t know what is right and what is wrong so when a woman yells because he is pulling her hair too hard he covers her mouth and suffocated her. The reason he did this was because George told him not to mess with her and if he does he could get them in a lot of trouble and possibly ruin their dream of having a farm together.
One example of bad criticism is from Infinity Book Reviews. Josh Barkman states, “ I really didn’t like the concept the author used for this series. He used the society’s (more specifically, the youth’s) desires to fit into their concept for ideal beauty, and created a world wherein turning “Pretty” was the ultimate achievement that can be attained in life. In this world, all of the “Uglies” undergo an operation when they come of age and turn into party-freak “Pretties” my feel is it down right degrading as a human being.” The reviewer shows he doesn’t like the way Westerfeld writes the novel by taking the concept of girl’s self-conscience and making a huge twist on it. Another bad critique of Uglies is from Imaginary Books.
The Outcasts: The Stranger and Notes from Underground In The Stranger by Albert Camus and Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, we can see that the main characters in both novellas are outcasts; however, they are outcasts in different ways. In The Stranger, Monsieur Meursault is an outcast because he is indifferent to people’s feelings and to what happens in the world. In Notes from Underground, the unnamed narrator is an outcast because he has difficulty communicating with people. Unlike Monsieur Meursault, the narrator of Dostoyevsky’s novel is not indifferent to people or the world because he wants to be accepted and loved; whereas Monsieur Meursault does not care about what others think about him and he is unable to show any emotion. In Notes from Underground, the narrator shows emotion from the beginning of the story.
By creating the horrifying setting, the readers can have a feeling that they are also inside the story and watching all these events happening. Also, people have a kind of motion that when they are being horrified, in the meanwhile, they will feel excited at the same time. Therefore, the fog and darkness surrounding the city is an embellishment of the Gothic genre, which impressed me so much. In the century of the book, the people had no picture of what is split personality. In the book, nobody would have think of the idea of two souls living in a person, therefore, it makes the book become more suspicious.
When Darcy first met Elizabeth he was unimpressed and said that she was unattractive simply because he knew that she was not as wealthy as him. Elizabeth knew this and was quick to decide that she despised Mr. Darcy. Every time Darcy and Elizabeth had an encounter with each other, Darcy seemed to become even fonder of her. Towards the end of the movie Mr. Darcy confessed his love for Elizabeth and proposed. Darcy made it very clear that this was against his strong morals of marrying within social classes and that it is very hard for him.
When in London because of the smog you can’t see anything so you feel trapped and confined like in Eel Marsh House, Kipps calls it ‘like a game of blind man’s buff’, this shows how Kipps feels about having his senses trapped and locked out. ‘what figures I could make out...were like ghost figures’ as the fog blinds and the setting is glum and doom this again refers back to how Kipps is a realistic man and doesn’t believe in ghosts so uses this example as if ghosts were not real, Hill also uses the technique of foreshadowing to refer what happens later in the novel. This also relates to how Kipps is feeling when referring back to the thought of the Woman in Black appearing when he visited Crythin Gifford. Pathetic Fallacy also sets the setting of a normal day in London, and how the ‘the miserable weather and lowering to the spirits in the dreariest month of the year’, when Hill refers to the weather using pathetic fallacy she creates the mood to be very miserable and upsetting, like there is no positive side to Crythin Gifford. ‘Dreariest month of the year’ suggests that the town is quite dreary and is like how the houses and people of the town are seen.
This essay is an attempt to correlate the dystopian environment of Fahrenheit 451 with today's culture. Fahrenheit 451 gives its readers examples of the shear lack of motivation to read. The lack of motivation is encouraged by government's law and technological influence. The population of Fahrenheit 451 is fearful of government wrath. This fear leads to the inevitable trepidation of books themselves.

Miss Bingley is jealous of Elizabeth, she feels threatened by her and fears that she will loose Darcy and his affections will focus more onto Elizabeth. "When dinner was over, she (Elizabeth) returned directly to Jane, and Miss Bingley began abusing her as soon as she was out of the room. Her manners were pronounced to be very bad indeed, a mixture of pride and impertinence; she had no conversation, no stile, no taste, no beauty." Again in this sentence Miss Bingley uses short pauses in what she is saying, she pauses
Oh, LEE clothes, Vibe trousers and Gucci Glasses!! We as teenagers are we often are unable to look past appearances. We fall into peer pressure and ridicule those who walk down the hall with mismatched socks or those who wear patterned clothing. Not only people, we judge restaurants, films and even products by their covers. And as a result, we end up skipping great meals, not getting to know terrific people and missing all sorts of terrific opportunities.
