Billy Budd
Number of words: 2847 - Number of pages: 11.... use as comparisons or differences? This is similar to the case as seen in . The Book doesn’t work in a strict and orderly fashion but starts out to describe at length different characters, then moves to fast actions, slows down again to a very argued trail, then draws rapidly to a close with Billy’s hanging.

Every Gain There Is A Loss
Number of words: 1014 - Number of pages: 4.... a steep price. The people in this story lost the ability to see color, to smell, or hear music. All in order to keep peace and avoid conflict. After dinner, families are forced to discuss their feeling with another and not allowed to keep any secrets. But this boy, Jonas, realizes just how shallow these people are. They claim anger, but have never felt the blood-boiling rage of a fatal injustice. They profess sorrow, but have never lost anything dear to them. Indeed, they've never been endeared to anyone or anything. Such a bland society isn't really living. They're existing, but wit .....

Number of words: 1270 - Number of pages: 5.... transcend the limitations of his physical body. Biologically Hop-Frog is
nothing more than a freak of nature. Hop-Frog is a dwarf. His means of
locomotion was that of an "interjectional gait---- something between a leap and
