.... “prone to soldiering”. These people have been labeled as “Martial races.” An interesting point that she makes about Martial races is that they have traditionally been set on the regional peripheries of a state. This makes it seem as though the only reason for their being allowed to remain part of the state is to protect it from outside invaders. With this kind of covered seclusion breeds contempt, both from the main stream people of the state as well as the “martial races” forced outside the framework of society for their differences. These people are loo .....

.... Queen Victoria (1837-1901), conveyed connotations of "prudish," "repressed," and "old fashioned." Although such associations have some basis in fact, they do not adequately indicate the nature of this complex, paradoxical age that was a second English Renaissance. In science and technology, the Victorians invented the modern idea of invention -- the notion that one can create solutions to problems, that man can create new means of bettering himself and his environment. In religion, the Victorians experienced a great age of doubt, the first that called into ques .....

.... though it was not his fault at all. Finny seems as though he will never grow up because he is so immature, with his silly denial of the war's existence, and his habit of always coming up with strange things to do just for fun. Inside he is suffering with the anger and hurt of being excluded from the one thing that he wants to do most, fight in the war. This is an excellent example of how the war suddenly made the boys grow up into men. They had to face adulthood, and in order to do that, they had to become adults. Another boy in the story who was made to grow u .....

.... and all the appliances they use are more primitive, and the houses are wooden cottages. The native's way of behaving and interacting with the outside people and world is also a lot different. All the ceremonies including the costumes and poems, songs, etc prove how they are protective of their native culture and heritage. The natives do not trust the european dsecendents, because they took over their lands. All these reasons add up to the fact that the natives are being described in detail in this book. Another good point this book has to make is about n .....

.... thier own song Beasts of England. Snowball had a great idea to build a windmill but Napoleon got jealous and wanted the idea all to himslef. So he ran Snowball of the farm with his vicious dogs claiming he was a traitor. Napoleon then won the role of thier leader. What he said goes.

.... due to it’s loose style and ability to capture the true feelings of the author as he writes. This original style was used by Kerouac in order subconsciously to express the thoughts of the mind in a continually flowing way without the constraints of the traditional rules of writing. Kerouac stated that when writing using this method one must “never afterthink to improve or defray impressions” because “the best writing is always wrung-out”, “tossed from cradle”, from “the song of yourself.” Text written in .....

.... do. The denotation of power is "the capability of achieving something." Not only is Phineas achieving something from jumping off this tree, he is achieving power by gaining the respect of fellow classmates. Phineas' spontaneity inspires many others to be like himself and jump off the tree. Another example of Phineas' power is his character establishing scene of disrespect to the school by wearing his pink shirt and the Devon School tie as his belt. We here, again, see him as the spontaneous individual who "can get away with anything" (p.18). Phineas' nature .....

.... of vision which the metal plague commanded, he could be seen as well as heard (Orwell,pg6).’Any action against the government would be seen or heard by the telescreen. The Party even controlled the thoughts and ideas of the people. A thought crime is any thought or idea about going against Big Brother or The Party. To the government a thought crime is considered one of the worst felonies. “Thoughtcrime dos not entail death: thoughtcrime IS death (Orwell,pg27).”To prevent thoughtcrimes people must use the concept made up by The Party. This concept is called .....
