.... Porges has created an entertaining story that is very suspenseful and exciting. 'The Pedestrian' is a totally different type of story, which brings up social issues that can be debated. The point of these issues is to make the people of today think about whether what they are doing is right or wrong. Ray Bradbury's story is about a man named Leonard Mead in a city, in America who goes walking at night. In this city all the other citizens stay and watch their 'viewing screens'. The main issue that this story brings up is that as the years pass by, the people of the world may .....

.... had withdrawn to die…they were nothing earthly now, nothing but black shadows of disease and starvation, lying confusedly in the greenish gloom" (34-35). The natives were not "helpers", but slaves who were forced to work till physical exhaustion under the orders of the White colonist. To further support the idea of racism as seen in this novel, consider the description that Marlow gives about an incident he encounters, "And whiles I had to look after the savage who was a fireman…to look at him was as edifying as seeing a dog in a parody of breeches and a feather h .....

.... Realizing how easy it is and due to her "excited fancy," (Chopin, 30) she accidentally swims out very far. At that moment, "a quick vision of death smote her soul, and for a second of time appalled and enfeebled her senses." (Chopin, 30) For the first time she comes face to face with death. Those are the events described by the book. The movie, on the other hand, only shows Edna swimming out, struggling a little, and returning to shore. In addition, the movie doesn’t mention the strength and joy Edna feels after this experience. She states that she "never was so exhaust .....

.... the blacks to be forced into slavery once again. The K.K.K. tore apart reconstructing governments and established a reign of terror and violence throughout the whole war-torn South. The first era of the K.K.K. lasted about three or four years, than faded. The arose again after World War 1. The overall story starts with many generations of Americans learning hard lessons of life. These experiences led to fierce individualism, surprising inventiveness, and the thought that they could be whatever and go wherever they wanted to. Other things occurred along with these thoughts. .....

.... “we had birds, goldfish, a fine dog, a rabbit, a small monkey, and a cat”(80). The use of italics hints to the reader of upcoming events about the cat that peaks interest and anticipation. Poe also describes a touch foreshadowing and suspension of disbelief when he illustrates his wives response to the cat when he writes "all black cats are witches in disguise, not that she was ever serious upon this point-and I mention the matter at all for no better reason than it happened, just now, to be remembered"(80). Poe expresses his early attachment to the cat and dramatizes the .....

.... portrayed in the book and in the movie. In the book, Boo Radley is depicted as an unfriendly and not caring person while in the movie, his characteristics are not as strongly expressed. Boo Radley does not seem to be as bad in the book as he is in the movie. In conclusion, the reason why the movie is not as detailed as the book is because there are just too many important details to cover and so the movie does not add the insignificant events. Also, the orders of events are different because many things will not go as smoothly if events do not switch places. Moreover, the .....

.... insanity in O'Brien's mind. Winston was defying a power which he knew was undefeatable. O'Brien saw Winston as a madman struggling with the a straight jacket, fighting something which they both knew could not be undone. The idea of insanity as fighting a unwinnable cause is not original to Oceania, but instead a reflection of societies' beliefs. Many people are labelled insane by society because they believe what seems impossible. The struggle in one's mind between what they think is true, and what others think is true can be taxing upon someone. Not unlike Winston, many .....

.... them against the captain. Captain Vere responds by having Billy and Claggart meet in private where Claggart can openly accuse Billy of this crime. Fortunately, Claggarts attempt to destroy Billy for mutiny fails because he is struck down by Billy in one blow, ending the matter, but opening a much more serious one. Claggart is also seen as attempting to destroy Billy due to his evil nature in general. Nothing depicts Claggart's evil nature better than the way he looks. His cleanly chiseled chin and cunning violet eyes that can cut lesser sailors with an evil glare. His pale ye .....
