Writing About Literature
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1233.... that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak , yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;

And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare

Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 838.... of moral freedom in both his introduction and in his novel.
Burgess's definition of moral freedom as the ability to perform both good and evil is presented by implication in his discussion of the first kind of clockwork orange. In his introduction, he states that if one "can only perform good or only perform evil, then he is - meaning that he has the appearance of an organism lovely with color and juice but is in fact only a clockwork toy to be wound up by God or the Devil or (since this is increasingly replacing both) the Almighty State." Burgess goes on to say, "It is as i .....

Today people are often separated from families, whether by choice or distance. They try to form their own families with friends. These formed families are not permanent. You do not have automatic acceptance into a group that is regardless of merit. People also move away. And they do not have to invite you .....
