Uh-Oh: Some Observations From Both Sides Of The Refrigerator Door
Number of words: 444 - Number of pages: 2.... The style of writing is very laid back, sort of a Sunday reader or one
that you can pick up in the bathroom from time to time.
I enjoyed reading this book so much the first time I had to read it again.
The second time was even better than the first, because of all the new things I
could understand. I love how nowhere on his book does it say “New York Times
Bestseller” because every other book on the shelf has it, but the author chooses

Comparison Of Brave New World
Number of words: 624 - Number of pages: 3.... this prejudice is referred to as genoism - genetic discrimination. Racism is a less specific form of genoism, and although such discrimination is outlawed, the laws are unenforceable because in this dystopian society, as it is in BNW, one's "genetic quotient" is known from birth. The underclass people of this world are limited but aware of their social status and they are not particularly happy with it. With the BNW, the lower castes seem to be (they are made to believe so) aware but they are conditioned to like their "light,...childishly simple" work. (p.204 BNW)
Another satirical mess .....

Jude The Obscure: Summary
Number of words: 2266 - Number of pages: 9.... regular basis by the commandant.

Psychoanalyzing Hamlet: Freud
Number of words: 2577 - Number of pages: 10.... One must call into question what Hamlet holds to be true. If Hamlet’s given motivation for killing the king is legitimate, then Claudius should die at about Act 3. Because Hamlet’s actions do not correspond with his given reasoning, one is forced to look for an alternate explanation for Hamlet’s behavior. In doing so, one will come to the conclusion that Hamlet is driven by forces other than what is obvious to the reader, as well as Hamlet himself. Given this example, one must denounce the assumption that Hamlet is aware of the forces that motivate him, and understand .....
