Mankind creates all of the constructs that it places upon itself, negatively impacting their experience in this world. Corruption in government, religion, and even romance are all things that someone can take steps to avoid but chose not to because one feels the desire and lust for power and other idiotic things, and in the midst, think they are pursuing a happy life. Candide is a satirical novel written by Voltaire, that highlights and exposes this false logic. The book can and still will…

The first four issues of the “Deadpool Killogy” falls under the title “Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe”, which is the main focus of this rhetorical analysis. This title is, for the most part, self explanatory in the basics of what happens in those four issues; Deadpool moves through the marvel universe killing every hero, villain and antihero.

When George Orwell's “1984” first came out it was intended to be a fiction novel. But today, 67 years later, aspects from the futuristic story have eerily come true. The novel tells the story of a socially stratified post-nuclear war world ruled by 3 superstates: Eastasia, Eurasia and Oceania and a mayor political party: “The Big Brother”. The “BB” is the boss, the holy guardian of society and even, sometimes, considered as a God. "Big Brother" changed almost everything in the 1984’s society;…
