.... down. In the Middle of the Night is about an accident in a theater where a balcony collapses on a number of small children, and kills them, and a few are injured. The owner of the theatre kill himself and everyone is out to blame John the usher who was investigating the noises from the balcony at the time. Today the usher has grown up and has a son. A victim, who died in the accident but came back to life that day, is out for revenge on the usher's son. The novel is hard to follow at first because there are jumps from one character view to another, to piece together a whole view of the .....

.... that the many settings of the novel had to be gloomy enough to make up for the danger. There are many outstanding characteristics in this story. With so many excellent attributes in The Hobbit, I found it difficult to find many things that were not good. Tolkien's choice of a conflict was not very creative. The plot of this novel is based upon the traditional "going out and taking back what is yours" story. The many kinks and side adventures made The Hobbit interesting, but the main plot of the story is still the dwarves attempting to reclaim their lost treasure from the dragon Smaug. .....

.... is what Hirsch sees is essential for success in today's society. Communication is the key to equality in America. With increased cultural literacy, an egalitarian society is eventually possible. One common body of knowledge for everyone will be the glue that holds society together. Hirsch also points out the senselessness of concepts such as multi-culturalism and multi-lingualism. He acknowledges the importance of the numerous cultures and ethnicities of which United States is comprised. Hirsch mentions the "hyphenated American: the Italo-American, the Polish-American, the Afro- Americ .....

.... (which in my opinion, is equally as good as the movie). "" contains only a few of the element that can make a good film. One of them is the makeup. Alex and his gang (droogs) all where a makeup when they go out and do there thing. It gives them all a look of insanity and makes them look disturbed. I think that this was well done because it gives you a feeling of fear. Being afraid of a character in a movie is an excellent way to get to know them. Another element used is the script. Stanley Kubrick used the same special language used in the book. A lot of the words have no real mea .....

.... what she thinks she can and cannot do. She displays typical, elderly forgetfulness as she washes the toilet seat with mouthwash rather than with alcohol. And again displays it as she falls through the bottomless rocking chair. Later she displays physical inability when she asks her son Robert about helping with some yard work, which she had always taken care of before. “I’m too old to keep a dog,” (20) she says to the dogcatcher as he is leaving with a brown fice that showed up on her doorstep. “Besides, I’m slowing down,” she says to her son during lunch. The stereotypes .....

.... only was it written by a woman but marked the first use of realistic characters. Jane's complexity lied in her being neither holy good nor evil. She was poor and plain in a time when society considered "an ugly woman a blot on the face of creation." It challenged Victorian class structure in a strictly hierachal society. A relationship between a lowly governess and a wealthy nobleman was simply unheard of. Bronte drew criticism for her attack on the aristocracy who she deemed as hypocritical "showy but ... not genuine." She assaulted individual's already established morals by presenti .....

.... he must learn how to live in this strange new environment quickly. He has to make many painful changes and ends up a completely new person with a new outlook on life. Hatchet is written in an interesting way. The author, Gary Paulsen has written “Hatchet” in two styles. First person and 3rd person. He will often start a paragraph with one word. This word sums up what Brian is thinking. For example: Starving. Then he will go on about what Brian is thinking as Brian in a more detailed manner. The other way he writes is in 3rd person. He will describe what Brian is thinking, and .....

.... style for the things inside. In the parlor of this house "there [are] beautiful curtains on the windows, white with pictures painted of castles."(101) The curtains painted with castles give the family a false feeling of being elite. When you think of castles you think of queens and kings and aristocracy. Ironically they think of others who lack the few finer things like curtains with castles on them to be lower class then themselves. These minor details make them think they are above everyone else. Along with this false notion of aristocracy the Grangerfords also possess a false knowledge o .....
