Big Brother

this significant quotation in the opening chapter of 1984 George Orwell paints a vivid description of how Big Brother continues to eliminate all human emotions. Winston Smith, the main character of the novel, detests this specific woman from the very moment he first lays eyes on her. Winston primarily dislikes this woman because in his opinion they appear the most ardent supporters of Big Brother. The most athletic, attractive and youthful are the most fanatic enforces of the party. These…

“Big Brother isn’t watching you”. Russell Brand who is an English comedian, actor, musician and writer wrote this phrase which was posted on the “The Guardian”, an English website. Even though Russell Brand now lives in Los Angeles, he feels the need to make a statement about the UK riots, because England used to be his homeland. “I feel proud to be English, proud to be a Londoner (all right, an Essex boy).” (p. 2, l. 30.) It is clear that the phrase is directed towards the politicians and the…

In the article “Big Brother isn’t watching you” from the Guardian Russell Brand discusses the 2011 UK riots. He feels that most others, who have discussed the issue, have described the rioters as mind- and reckless, and have focused mostly on what the storeowners, and the near relations have lost. While he does not argue with the description of the rioters, he is much more interested in what causes this mindlessness. He acknowledges the death of Mark Duggan as a legitimate reason, but does not…

habitat, this act was given half a point because you do not see him kidnapping the animal, and there was no visible harm done to the lemurs. The next four events happened during the scenes where the Kratt brothers and their team tried to rescue the lemurs. Chef Gourmand attempted to stop the Kratt brothers from rescuing the lemurs by firing pizza dough at them in an attempt to trap them on a tree. He temporarily succeeds when he ties their legs in pizza dough while they are on the ground.…

“Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,” and “There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow” all have in common? They were all co-written by Richard and Robert Sherman (Kamp). While Robert Sherman died a few years ago, Richard is still alive. But without Robert, Richard would not be where he is today. So to start out, the Sherman brothers were the sons of the famous Tin Pan Alley singer Al Sherman (Harvey). This means Richard and Robert both grew up with music being a big part of their lives. During his college…

In my opinion, the dodge brothers are two great, American innovators who deserve admiration. The Dodge brother worked through much tragedy in their short, unfortunate lives, and made many breakthroughs in the auto industry, impacts that last to this day. From loosing kids(1), to both dieing below the age of 30(2), they had very tragic lives. However, they defied odds and made a lasting name in the auto industry. First off, the brothers faced growing up in poverty. In their early life, the…

have had ever since. Even though that was 11 years ago, I still remember that day exactly. My dad came to the school to pick my brother and me, the minute he walked in he told us “I have a surprise for you too in the car.” I could not wait to see what he had for me, I was thinking it was a toy and was so excited. When we all went out into the car, I remember my dad taking a big brown box out and sitting it down on the gravel. “Stand back” he said. Next thing we knew a puppy jumped out of the box…

The Wright brothers were never really known as “heroes” among others. They didn’t go around saving people or go around using magic healing powers to bring people back from the dead. What they did do was make travel and communication a lot easier. Orville and Wilbur Wright impacted generations to come as heroes while being viewed as complete nutjobs in their time. Together, Orville and Wilbur accomplished many tasks that make life more effortless in modern times. In 1900 when the brothers…
