Stiva's habits are described in detail. To avoid arguing with Dolly about an affair he had with another woman, Stiva tries to distract himself by plunging into his work. He reads a liberal newspaper and comes off as a bit of a rogue (Tolstoy himself was a conservative). Stiva follows the liberal tradition, which denounces religion and marriage as cheap institutions. When a widow drops by to ask Stiva's help with a petition she's submitting to the government, Stiva helps her--not because he actually cares about the woman or her cause, but because he wants her to think well of him. We find out about Stiva's history: he was lazy in school but nevertheless used his connections to achieve a distinguished government career. Stiva represents the worst aspects of the social world, since he hasn't earned his way through life. On his way out of the house, Stiva almost forgets to apologize to Dolly. When he does so, she becomes furious with him, humiliated by his pity. She
Published in 1939. That made him notorious. Contained a lot of elements that went against puritanian minds. Story of farmers, that is forced to move from their Oklahoma farm elsewehere, to California. They are forced to move because of the natural disaster, the dust storms. People were motivated to move. The family Joads, the story of general generations of the family, how they cope or do not cope with this transition, from this move from one lifestage to another. Actually there is little plot to speak of, little adventure. State of small farmers who move from one state to another. Once they are in California, they find themselves in economic system that is even worse. They now are almost like slaves without any rights or land. Steinberg style of speaking contains two types of chapters. There the so called rreallistic chapters that describe the family and so called interchapters, which depict the economic situation of American agriculture. But these chapters
it ends. This anxiety arises from his belief that the war will have ruined his generation, will have so eviscerated his and his friends' minds that they will always be "bewildered." Against such depressing expectations, Paul is relieved by his death: "his face had an expression of calm, as though almost glad the end had come." The war becomes not merely a traumatic experience or a hardship to be endured but something that actually transforms the essence of human existence into irrevocable, endless suffering. The war destroys Paul long before it kills him. Kantorek Though he is not central to the novel's plot, Kantorek is an important figure as a focus of Remarque's bitter critique of the ideals of patriotism and nationalism that drove nations into the catastrophe of World War I. Kantorek, the teacher who filled his students' heads with passionate rhetoric about duty and glory, serves as a punching bag as Remarque argues
Ender says will sting without provocation, the setting is peaceful, allowing Ender the mental recovery and relaxation he needs. Next comes the shuttle ride to Eros, where Command School is located, the trip is long and Ender and Graff begin to feel enclosed and tired of the space. Eros, built by the buggers, is not much better: the low ceilings, narrow passages, downward-sloping floor and lower gravity. The focus of activity here is in the simulation rooms, where, it turns out, Ender is actually commanding the real fleets. When he leaves Eros, it is not for Earth, but for the first human colony, on a former bugger world, which will become known as Ender's World. While looking for a location for another group of colonists, Ender discovers a landscape mimicking that in the fantasy game he played at Battle School. The setting here is used by the buggers to communicate with Ender and lead him to the discovery of their hive queen. Main Characters Ender
Dracula Bram Stoker An Irish novellist Bram Stoker’s Gothic horror novel ‘’Dracula’’ was first published in 1897. The story is about vampire that tries to find new blood for himself and the hunt for him. Also you can find a little romance in the book. It takes place in Transylvania, Romania and in England. The novel is written in diary-form and several characters are telling their story by keeping a journal. Entries are written in six months by four persons. In the novel there are nine main characters: Jonathan Harker, whose writings are seen first; Count Dracula, of whom all the story is about, but he does not keep a diary; Wilhelmina ‘’Mina’’ Harker, early Murray, wife of Jonathan Harker; Lucy Westerna, a friend of Wilhelmina; Arthur Holmwood, Lucy’s fiancee, who also doesn’t write; John Seward, a doctor; Abraham Van Helsing, a Dutch doctor, dr. Seward’s
I think that his poems are interesting. They reveal much about Larkin's life and about the social issues in the 20th century. Larkin is also considered to be one of the greatest English poets in the 20th century. I think that Larkin was quite interested in politics. For example his poem ´´Talking in Bed´´ begins with the lines /Talking in bed ought to be easiest, Lying together there goes back so far/. At first it gives the reader an idea that he is talking about two lovers, but actually he is talking about England and USA. He describes the darkness that is creeping up. In my opinion he is talking about USA, which is beginning to creep up on England or on Europe. And because of that England is becoming a less dominant and more isolated place. He is saying that intimacy is dying and that may represent the globalization. Another political poem I really enjoyed is ´´Homage To a Government´´. Larkin says that next year they are going to
of Indians by whites involves an appropriation, even an expropriation, parallel to the economic expropriation which is its context." They believed that it would lead to a greater knowledge of the natives by the colonists, which in turn would lead to a greater ability to exploit the natives and eventually to a complete appropriation of them. It is widely documented that Cooper admitted his support for what the white settlers did in their westward expansionhe actually acknowledges in The Pioneers, the first of the Leatherstocking Tales to be written but the next to last in the sequence of events, that "the Europeans, or, to use a more significant term, the Christians, dispossessed the original owners of the soil" and justified it by saying that it was part of the noble mission of Christianity and therefore "part of a universal moral progress which it was the special destiny of American to manifest
had no direct experience of World War I and because he is Jewish. He holds on to the romantic prewar ideals of love and fair play, yet, against the backdrop of the devastating legacy of World War I, these values seem tragically absurd. As a Jew and a nonveteran, Cohn is a convenient target for the cruel and petty antagonism of Jake and his friends. Read an in-depth analysis of Robert Cohn. Bill Gorton - Like Jake, a heavy-drinking war veteran, though not an expatriate. Bill uses humor to deal with the emotional and psychological fallout of World War I. He and Jake, as American veterans, share a strong bond, and their friendship is one of the few genuine emotional connections in the novel. However, Bill is not immune to the petty cruelty that characterizes Jake and Jake's circle of friends. Mike Campbell - A constantly drunk, bankrupt Scottish war veteran. Mike has a terrible temper, which most often manifests itself during his extremely frequent bouts of drunkenness. He has a great d
