During the Puritan age many wrote to find and show others about God. Some of these authors and their pieces contrast greatly though, such as Anne Bradstreet’s “The Burning of Our House” and Jonathan Edwards’ “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”. Puritan literature of the time is very straight to the point and interpretations of the Bible. While both believe in the puritan lifestyle, they vary greatly in perception of God and their styles. In Puritan life God of course is seen as very…

Society demands the conformity of its members, so that no one person is different than any other… at least in the novel, “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” by Ken Kesey. This novel presents the main antagonist as the Big Nurse, or Nurse Ratched, who runs the mental asylum as tight as she ran her old position in the army.

A call to restore the American pride rose from the ranks of writers and artists, demanding the creation of a new history of the United States, one that…

A dystopia is often characterized as an undesirable and dehumanizing vision of a future government or society. Dystopian citizens frequently undergo technological oppression by a totalitarian government which can trigger a rebellious response. George Orwell uses the dystopian society in 1984 to portray the risks of technological progress in the near future.
