Number of words: 1367 - Number of pages: 5.... else in the dream is carrying on like nothing is wrong. Before delving into the significance of this scene, the reader must note how important control is to him. He is an extremely proud man, and needs to be in control of himself and everything around him at all times (Magill 222). In his view, everything in his life should revolve around him.

O'Brien saw Winston as a madman struggling with the a straight jacket, fighting something which they both knew could not be undone.

Fork Of A Road
Number of words: 754 - Number of pages: 3.... bent in the undergrowth”. Alistair MacLeod does it differently; the narrator has come to a fork in the road, but without hesitation he takes the more traveled by. This is the first contrast between the two literatures.

Voices By Dacia Maraini - Book
Number of words: 1680 - Number of pages: 7.... She has little blood, which is regarded as the seat of emotions, and her lack of such nourishment suggests that perhaps she was never nurtured. Furthermore, her cause of death, internal hemorrhage, suggests that those feelings imbedded within her were lost rapidly and uncontrollably (19). The obscure grasp Angela has of her emotions is just one facet of her imprisonment.
Angela’s imprisonment is traced back to its roots in adolescence, when at the young age of eight her father dies leaving an “empty gap” in her life “that couldn’t ever be filled” (189) .....
