All of these examples of happenings and objects found in Middle Earth are physically impossible in a world such as ours. Several of the charecters in the book are not known to exist on Earth. Hobbits, of course, are fictional characters, as are dwarves, elves, goblins, and trolls.

But both diabolic love and the unearthly hate of the mysteries it had penetrated fought for the possession of that soul satisfied with primitive emotions, avid of lying fame, of sham distinction, of all the appearances of success and power"(Conrad 146). Our enlightenment into the corru .....

.... that if the Party tells the people that 2+2=5, then it does. He also instructs Winston that if the Party informs its members that 2+2=3 or 4 or all at the same time, then it is so. Although this true reality is available to Inner Party members, they too do not have the freedom of thought or individuality... they are only just aware of its existence. Only the outside reader is able to think and understand the true nature of the reality established by the Party. In Animal Farm, Orwell unveiled that reality is a simple mental state that can be easily manipulated. N .....

His typical fear stems from being caught in the act of doing something socially unacceptable and being the subject of punishment. Although he later admits to Max that Mary Dalton's behavior toward him made him hate her, it is not that hate which causes him to smother her to death, but a feeble attempt to evade the detection of her mother. The fear of being caught with a white woman overwhelmed his common sense and dictated his actions. Wh .....

.... (Golding, 20). This statement illustrates Jack's civilized concern for the whole group. Jack seems to put the group before himself. This unselfish concern soon dissolves as the internal beast prevails over the civil Jack. “I ought to be chief because I'm chapter chorister and I can sing C sharp,” (Golding, 21) displays Jacks own arrogance.
