The Howling

The Quad Squads Problems Once upon a time, no, actually let's start it like this. So me and my friends Drakeula the scary but annoying rapper, Scare-Scare the fierce and intelligent lady, Malicious Mike. which is me the handsome and the “responsible one” ,and Steinfink the weird and yeah just weird, but sometimes logical, decided to do something unintelligent, actually very unintelligent, which you will see, but I do advise you, it is such a dumb idea that you will start laughing and learning…

patients endured alarming amounts of cruelty. For example, patients were lined up and whipped in order to inhibit violence. As a result of this, the asylum became a popular tourist attraction. The general public was enthusiastic to pay to look at the howling and gibbering inmates. Despite deteriorating conditions and immense…

How does a government take complete control? A government can take control in many ways. In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, the government takes everything away from the people. They take away the populations’ humanity. The people are very happy and satisfied with the lives they live. If they ever have a bad day, they always have an escape. The government has taken everything away from the people. The people only know the information that the government wants them to know. Religion was stripped…

The clear division of roles between males and females in the late 19th century Victorian era, display distinct characteristics that define how a man and woman are to behave. These attributes, or gender roles, determine the standard of society, and is what is considered to be acceptable behaviour. Author, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, more commonly known as Lewis Carroll, challenges the patriarchal gender roles in the Victorian Era by exchanging the typical attributes associated with males and…

Exhilarating: a term making one feel very happy, animated, or elated, would be the perfect word to describe what the day had in store for us eager, and jubilant grade 6 students. A thrilled and luminous smile lit up on my enthusiastic face as I ambled on the same rugged, cracked, gray tinted sidewalk that I had sauntered on everyday for a year. The serene, endless sky was the perfect shade of aqua as the light, silky, radiant clouds formed delicate shapes. The sun was glistening with great…

to throw the soma into the area while, with the other, he punched the indistinguishable faces of his assailants. ‘Free! Yes, men! men!’and there was no more poison left. He picked up the cash-box and showed them its black emptiness. ‘You're free!’ Howling, the Deltas charged with a redoubled fury.” (Huxley 213) John, obviously a nonconformist, sees no value in soma and tries to contain the morals/values he learned at the Reservation. John is much like that of a morality sponge. Everywhere he…

good enough. It is in the “six-inch chapter”(106), possibly the shortest of all, that revealed the most to me. “while the wildest winds of heaven and earth conspire to cast her on the treacherous, slavish shore? … so, better is it to perish in that howling infinite, than be ingloriously dashed upon the lee” (107),. Most would cast this chapter off because of it’s length, instead my head was sent spinning in so many directions. This is only a sentence, but these words are profound. From some of…

The Other, despite its strangeness, functions ironically in the two texts as a parallel to the normal, thus destabilising the normalised and in turn serving as an effective critique of society’s rigid over-simplified belief system – one that involves the flawed tendency to judgmentally delineate what is normal or not. In Shelley’s “Frankenstein”, the monster as the traditionally conceived Other (arising from its distorted looks) disturbingly mirrors his creator Victor who supposedly is more…

Whatever my life takes me, poetry will always be in my heart. It proceeds yourself to a completely different world and supply you an opportunity to picture yourself. I had the opportunity to be introduced to poetry in my literary themes class and I did not understand the concept of poetry. As I consistently read my assigned poetry book The Gift of Tongues, I could resemble my lifeline. Out of all the poetries that I read, ten of these poems stood out to me describing life. Although all of these…

Sherlock Holmes is a detective hero of all times, a fictional character who is more famous than his creator Arthur Conan Doyle. The Scottish author Doyle wrote one of his well-known novel “The Sing of Four starring” the unique and detailed character Sherlock Holmes. Although Doyle has never been a colonist nor his character Holmes, the novel presents the idea of the British empire and its power along with the danger of colonized India and its people through Victorian perspective. I shall start…
