animal farm

Shape of the modern world Essay Assess the methods used in a totalitarian society such as that in "Animal Farm" to control its occupants. Focus on political structure plus the use of indoctrination." George Orwell was born in Bengal, India on 25th June 1903. Orwell was educated at private schools; this made him aware of the well-established class system in English society. Orwell became a republican, speaking openly against governments of the east and west and fighting briefly for the socialist cause during the Spanish Civil War. George Orwell wrote "Animal Farm" during the 2nd World War and it was published in 1945. It was a way of portraying his ideas, criticisms and negative opinions on the Russian revolution, and therefore is negatively biased against Lenin's communist ideology and the revolution. "Animal Farm" is a classic satire of the Russian Revolution, which protests against the brutality of the Soviet totalitarian system (a government which has absolute control over many aspects of its citizens' lives as possible.) The government conditioned people and forced them to conform to its own ideology, particularly concentrating on children. The children were the future of Stalin's plans for Russia. The government controlled every aspect of their lives, schools were warped and after school youth movements were introduced to influence the youth. In the book Napoleon

Mending Wall

Week7 Friday 23rd January, 2007 English Literature: Poetry Mending Wall "Mending Wall" is a dramatic narrative poem cast in forty-five lines of blank verse. Its title is revealingly ambiguous, in that "mending" can be taken either as a verb or an adjective. Considered with "mending" as a verb, the title refers to the activity that the poem's speaker and his neighbor perform in repairing the wall between their two farms. With "mending" considered as an adjective, the title suggests that the wall serves a more subtle function: as a "mending" wall, it keeps the relationship between the two neighbors in good condition. In a number of ways, the first-person speaker of the poem seems to resemble the author, Robert Frost. Both the speaker and Frost own New England farms, and both show a penchant for humor, mischief, and philosophical speculation about nature, relationships, and language. Nevertheless, as analysis of the poem will show, Frost maintains an ironic distance between himself and the speaker, for the poem conveys a wider understanding of the issues involved than the speaker seems to comprehend. As is the case with most of his poems, Frost writes "Mending Wall" in the idiom of New England speech: a laconic, sometimes clipped vernacular that can seem awkward and slightly puzzling until the reader gets the knack of mentally adding or substituting words to

Jekyll and Hyde

Assignment about The strange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde Course: Introduction to literature Assignment: It is suggested that the text the strange case of dr jekyll and mr hyde is preoccupied with the theme of the divided self. Referring to structure, character and plot, analyse the way in which stevenson has conveyed the sense of division in this text. In The strange case of doctor jekyll and mr hyde, R. L. Stevenson describes London during the nineteenth century. In that time the society was divided into distinct social classes and their corresponding communuties. If you were born in a low class there was a small chance you move up to a higher class and if you had a high status there were certain things you could never do, although you may want to do them. Because as a high class person it was rather easy to ruin respectable, good status into a bad one. If you look closer to the word 'case' in the title 'the strange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde' you may wonder what it means in this context. It may be a case of a disease or to a case of investigation by the police or other detective agency. Both a medical as a detective case are appropiate in this context and are clearly available to Stevenson since as we see he uses both cases. The psycholical disease and the detective investigation case. In the story, Henry Jekyll,is such a man of good status. He is a doctor who

creative story

Creative story The loud cries of teenagers filled the night, their laughter and screams echoed through the streets. The dance party music resonated from each fraternity house, as well as the tall apartment buildings that tower over the town. The smell of beer filled the air. This was a typical Friday night at Murray State University. Turning away from gazing into the night, I looked for my group of friends. I quickly walked to catch up to where they were, few feet ahead of me. I was wearing my black pants, a short sleeved purple and black striped shirt, black heels, and a smile that seemed to fill my whole face. We stood in the long line to get into a huge band party. My friend Brian said he was on the list. We got to the desk where everyone signs in; Brian confidently said who it was that he knew, and a few seconds later, we were denied. "No list, no way getting in," said the drunken fraternity brother. Brian got an irritated look on his face. Embarrassed and irritated myself, I grabbed a few other people that were accompanying us, and left. We walked to a gray stone fraternity house where another friend was at the night before. Two guys were standing outside watching the door. Their names, I found out, were Mike and Chris. "Hey, my name is Kyproulla, are you guys having a party tonight?" I asked, throwing my big smile in the direction of the brother

Verslag van bezoek aan onderzoeker Remco Havermans, vakgroep Experimentele Psychologie.

Onderzoeksintermezzo II ID-nr.I200417 Tutor: S.Steenstra Verslag van bezoek aan onderzoeker Remco Havermans, vakgroep Experimentele Psychologie In het kader van het tweede onderzoeksintermezzo brachten wij een bezoek aan een Maastrichtse wetenschapper ; meer bepaald Remco Havermans, assistent in opleiding aan de Faculteit Psychologie .Hij doet momenteel een onderzoek naar verslavingen en verslavingsgedrag, en over dit onderzoek verstrekte hij ons de nodige informatie en duiding. Havermans werkt hiertoe samen met de Welland-kliniek in Heerlen, die vooral opvang biedt aan alcohol- , maar ook enkele heroïne- en cocaïne-verslaafden. Belangrijk om te weten hierbij is echter wel dat deze kliniek deels het onderzoek mee financiert! ( De andere deelnemer in de kosten is de Nederlandse overheid in de vorm van de instelling Zorgonderzoek. ) Het is immers precies daar, in de Welland-kliniek te Heerlen, waar hij de nieuw ontwikkelde therapie voor alcoholici uittest . In zijn zelf ontwikkelde laboratorium; dat hij ingericht heeft als een echt café en naast de behandelingsruimte in de kliniek gebruikt, toetst hij de al dan niet geijkte verwachtingen van de jongeren over café-bezoek en alcoholgebruik aan de werkelijkheid. Deze wel zeer overtuigende simulatie ( inclusief tapkast, sfeerlicht en posters die adverteren voor diverse

Britten prefaces his War Requiem by quoting Wilfred Owen`s preface to his War Poems : My subject is War and the pity of War. The poetry is in the Pity. All a poet can do today is warn. How does this apply to the War Requiem?

Britten prefaces his War Requiem by quoting Wilfred Owen`s preface to his War Poems : "My subject is War and the pity of War. The poetry is in the Pity. All a poet can do today is warn." How does this apply to the War Requiem?" Britten expresses his perception of the War in War Requiem differently from the most of his contemporary artists of that time. He does not try to associate a topic of War with heroism, victory or other positive phenomena that supposedly overshadowed the tragedy of the War. The War Requiem has a highly symbolic value; it was commissioned for the reconsacration of Coventry Cathedral in 1962, after the original structure was destroyed in a World War II bombing in 1940. Britten was called in at this special occasion to compose a music that would be suitable for this occasion. He was given a complete freedom as far as the text and the music in concerned. He had an excellent idea to associate the Requiem with the poetry of Wilfred Owen, the World War I soldier who was killed a week before Armistice. Britten chose his poems deliberately and unlike other writers of his time, he did not glorify the Queen's army, but he pointed at the worst tragedies and disasters that resulted from the War. Britten didn't even try to correct those acts, but rather pictured them in the most realistic possible way (those were in their content so horrific that he could not find a
