Some of the novels are based on real events, real societies and governments that existed when the book was written, like communist regimes for instance. Two of the most famous dystopian novels are Animal Farm and 1984. Surely, these two books have a lot in common like how both books were set in England, written by George Orwell, and based on the…

Realizing that it would be America’s responsibility to combat forces opposed to democracy, he began to make plans in a series of conferences with allied leaders, even as the war raged on. At the Atlantic Conference, Churchill and Roosevelt issued a joint declaration of self determination, there would be no changes made in territory against the wishes of the people, self government would be restored, and they would work to reduce trade restrictions.

computer, made advancements in Biology just as well as computer science, and died to suicide after being charged with “gross Indecency” by the very government he helped during the war. How could someone go from being as vital of a person, as Winston Churchill put it “Turing made the single biggest contribution to the war effort” to being slandered and shamed to the point of ending it all? Possibly a larger crime, the errant holes in the investigation regarding Alan Turing’s death. Alan Turing…

In his 1963 essay “The Rhetorical Stance”, prominent literary critic Wayne C. Booth (Fox) states that in all of the non-fiction writing he admires he finds the presence of what he calls the “rhetorical stance”(Booth, 141). In his view, the rhetorical stance is the proper balancing of three key components used in communicative writing which are described as “the available arguments about the subject itself, the interests and peculiarities of the audience, and the voice, the implied character of…

The second World War saw the world in a different place than it had been at the time of World War I and the resulting boom of the “Roaring” twenties. The drastically different 1930s marked a time of international economic struggles, with the crash of the stock market and subsequent Great Depression in the United States creating a climate of struggle absorbed by Britain’s and most other international economies.

Winston Churchill once spoke about democracy, saying "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time" (qtd. in Karl).

What Churchill is truly getting at is that it is…

In addition, every part of one’s life is monitored and recorded to make sure he remains loyal to Big Brother and the Party. On the other hand, Brave New World portrays a…
