Greene portrays the transmutation of Sarah’s earthly love into something greater with a grace that is all the more impressive for being realistic. She is not an instant saint. Her feelings swing from misery to peace and back to misery, with much bitterness and hatred of God.

She realizes that Christianity affirms the importance of the body she…

A Clockwork Orange Project Society is structured on a system of laws meant to protect the innocent and punish the perpetrator. Without these laws, nations would be without their moral compass, with nothing pointing to true north. Citizens would fall into the practice of performing actions only to benefit themselves, not caring about the greater good of the community. Therefore, it is one’s system of government which sets in stone the notion of right and wrong, good and bad, and the laws which…

Which did you like better: Forster’s or Ellison’s story? Why? “Is it better for a man to have chosen evil than to have good imposed on him?” -Anthony Burgess, A Clockwork Orange I start my essay by quoting Anthony Burgess. His single quote to summarizes the main plot device used in both Ellison’s as well as Forster’s stories to carry their own message across: the struggle between man and societal ‘oppressions’ – a squared framework in which everyone must conform to. Comparing both stories,…

desk. This looks to be a room for a person to lay their head down because there is a bed with orange sheets and a blue cover. The curtain is on the side of the picture and it is also blue.

An orange, a round sphere filled with vitamin C. Everyone has eaten one and knows its distinct flavor. Oranges probably do not have much meaning to you; they are just a fruit that tastes good. In “Ode to an Orange” Larry Woiwode describes how an orange brings him to a warm and sunny world when he is stuck in the frozen winters of North Dakota. In life things may seem simple but there is usually more to them. In “Ode to an Orange” it is shown that an orange is more than a fruit; it can make…

Fish Tank, directed by Andrea Arnold, is a film that relies heavily on style. One such element of style that is particularly important to this film is its color. In the majority of the film warm and bright colors compose many scenes. Orange and yellow dominate in scenes set on the first floor of Mia’s home and at night. Light blues fill in the sky, doorways, and many other components of the set. Mia and Conor’s clothing, though not exuberant, always feature components made up of light colors…
