In Jurassic Park, the theme of chance is present in the form of the protagonist, Ian Malcolm and in I am legend the theme of chance is present in Robert Neville’s character and the chances for survival are against him in the dystopian city.

Those who are interested in history, and especially those who study it closely, find themselves familiar with a number of historical “villains”; these villains have left their mark on the world and ruefully earned a place in history as such. Among these many figures, few are mentioned with antisemitism being their ultimate malevolency. Even fewer are endurably mentioned when just “evil” is mentioned, or even “antisemitism”. I would argue that perhaps only one figure holds the title of being the…
“Some people will only ‘love you’ as long as they can use you. Their ‘loyalty’ ends where the benefits stop.” Written between the years 1604 and 1606, Shakespeare’s tragedy, King Lear, centers on an aging king who decides to divvy up his kingdom between his three daughters (Gonerill, Regan, and Cordelia) in order to avoid any conflict after his death. This tragedy provides no cushions of happiness for the viewer, and the society is ultimately responsible for the course of this play. King Lear…
Atonement to take sides, partly because the narrator turns out to have been part of the story, and is therefore partial. What is the significance that the ‘atonement,’—the nearest Briony, as a non-believer, can get to ‘atonement’—may be inaccurate? Ian McEwan: May I ask you a question? What makes you think the “atonement” Briony Tallis seeks may be inaccurate? Interviewer: Well after reading the epilogue we learn that Briony never actually saw Robbie and Cecelia that day in 1940. Briony…
The most dangerous line in Atonement is “Her childhood had ended, she decided…” because it is in this moment Briony feels she has entered the adult world. Briony believes herself to have the power that comes with adulthood, but as the readers know, this is not true.The readers are able to differentiate the musings of a foolish girl who believes herself ready to grow up and actual maturity. At the end of this moment, even Briony questions “her own ignorance,” and clearly regrets her misguided…
Grant, Dr. Sattler, and Dr. Ian Malcolm (a highly-renowned mathematician) to act as consultants (and take a round trip through the park as a tour) for his grand biogenetic corporation in light of recent events that have occurred throughout the park, much to the dismay of Donald Gennaro, who has skeptical about the safety and overall prosperity of the park. Dr. Ian Malcolm constantly emphasizes that the current state of “Jurassic Park” will eventually…
Explain to what extent conflict in northern Ireland has now been resolved.

Its aim was to set up a power sharing assembly to govern Northern Ireland, by cross community consent; so essentially, Ireland could run itself again. It was reached after two years of talks, because the key…
and she uses writing as a way to achieve her needs by creating worlds in which she has the ability to manipulate her characters and their outcomes. Unable to limit herself to fiction, it transcends to the real world and leads to events that unfold in Ian McEwan’s Atonement. Briony, the youngest of the Tallis children with large age gaps between them, is often alone and isolated. This loneliness causes her to be self-centered and in a constant state of fantasy. It is difficult for her to…
Sexual desire is defined as “a motivational state and an interest in sexual objects or activities, or as a wish, need, or drive to seek out sexual objects or to engage in sexual activities”, and a theme which appears to be significant in Othello, A Streetcar Named Desire, and Enduring Love. In all three, sexual desire proves to contribute in both building solidarity within relationships, and the destruction of them. For Shakespeare, sexual desire shows how concealing physical feelings can lead…
