Comparative Essay of Fahrenheit 451 and 1984 I have chosen to write a comparative essay on the two dystopian fictions, Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 and George Orwell’s 1984, that we read this year. The two novels are somewhat different yet they have similar messages of the scary course that our society is heading in and our need to not become mindless bystanders that allow it to happen. I find it easy to parallel the writings and I will present the differences and similarities between the two…

Kesey uses the introduction of McMurphy and the depiction of the ward along with the change after McMurphy’s introduction to illustrate the emasculating effect of control. The introduction of McMurphy is used as a catalyst to break the complete control and order of the ward.

Though despite being territorially surrounded by, and economically and militarily inferior to, its Arabic and orthodox…

In Richard A. Koenigsberg’s “Love of War” he discusses the “X” factor. Koenigsberg defines the “X” factor as the sacred ideal that acts as a released transforming violent acts into forms of goodness. I believe that the X factor is just used as an excuse to obtain power from other cultures to control their natural resources. Governments leaders have used many excuses to convince their citizens to fight for their agenda but in the big scheme, the destruction of these cultures is fueled by greed…
