Analysis Of George Orwell 's ' The Lord Of The Rings '

There are certain works of literature that are held in great respect and admiration. How do novels become classics? What makes an ordinary story critically acclaimed? An exceptional novel affects and relates to all of its readers. Each reader should be able to connect to the story in their own way. Harper Lee’s best-seller To Kill A Mockingbird is considered a classic work of literature. It is taught and read in most high schools across Canada and has won many different awards including the 1961 Pulitzer Prize for fiction. Lee’s novel has gained its popular appeal for several reasons. It provides a sense of hope for readers who are dealing with racism, prejudice or bullying. To Kill A Mockingbird is highly favored amongst readers and critics

I would like to point out four works that could be removed from this list, that are either simply outdated, or uninteresting to current generations, and will note books that have the same general theme to take their place. In order to determine which books should be omitted, I asked my family about their opinions on books I’ve read that I didn’t find interesting, and for replacements I used books

The book that I read for my IRP and will reviewing is Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. This book was published by Ballantine Publishing group books in october 1953. Ray Bradbury felt that this 179 page book is a masterpiece.and knew this book would become popular.

Have you ever noticed that the most popular and successful novels often share many similarities? Have you ever felt as though the variety in the most popular books on the market can sometimes appear bleak? In many cases, this has to do with perspective, or the point of view that the book was written in.

Many titles that are heard around the average high school english classroom on a frequent basis are considered to be a classic. These titles include The Great Gatsby, 1984, Brave New World, To Kill a Mockingbird, and many more. Although these books are considered to be classics and a requirement for many students, do some of these belong on that list, or are there some that should be on that list that are not very well known. The books Brave New World and A Lesson Before Dying should both be on the classics list as they teach many important values and are a great introduction to more intense novels to be found later in education.

Introduction: Books have been around for hundreds of years, and as time goes on people have come to appreciate books more and more. There have been several amazing American authors in history, many of which were not recognized until after they passed away. Fortunately there were novelists that received the recognition they deserved while they were still alive.

Literature is an influential and integral part of modern day society. Each excerpt, short story and novel has the potential to shape us, instilling values and principles into each reader. Julius Caesar teaches us the dangers of excessive pride, The Giver tells us to embrace the human condition, and many other compositions reveal knowledge that we can apply to modern society and our daily lives. Still, every person reads specific pieces of literature to which they can truly connect. Mine are The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger and Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller.

Floating around the Top 5 are the usual suspects, including F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby taking home the gold and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World just missing out on a medal, placing fourth. However the main criticisms of this list has been the placing of books that are deemed “Offensive”. Select books have been targeted for their supposed racist themes, sexist themes and (due to the nature of Top 100 Lists generally placing classics above all) frankly outdated opinions asserted by the main characters.

Everybody, whether interested in reading or not, has their own personal favorite ‘classics’. For some people it might be something that resonated for a while after reading it and for others it might be a book that they learned life lessons from. Everybody’s ‘classics’ are not the same because they are a matter of taste. My personal favorites might not be popular with another person and vice versa. Each person might pick a different book, but they are all similar because reader relates to the book and adds it to their personal ‘classics’ library.

I really love classic American literature, I recently re-read “To Kill a Mockingbird” in preparation for the release of Harper Lee’s new book “Go Set A Watchman”, which I am presently reading.

We have read a lot this past year. Each piece varying in length, but yet each had its own way of showing us something we did not know or have else forgotten. We we shown powerful word choice through the Gettysburg Address said by Abraham Lincoln, we learned about the roaring twenties in The Great Gatsby by Scott Fitzgerald, and personal strength in The Old Man and the Sea written by Ernest Hemingway. We also learned more about irony in The Lottery and the realistically false tellings of the Vietnam War in The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien.

Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird is considered a classic text because it is based on the meaning of a mockingbird, the idea of growing up, and the theme of prejudice and racism which still is a problem today. George Orwell’s Animal Farm is considered a classic text because it holds historical importance and shows how easily humans can be corrupted by power.

The Signalman by Charles Dickens, The Adventure of the Speckled Band by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

One of my most meaningful novels that I have read and taught is Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury.

J.R.R. Tolkien was an amazing author who had the ability to forge stories that have captivated audiences worldwide since the publishing of his first ever book. Part of this literary success comes from his astounding character development; his way of writing causes the reader to truly feel what his characters are experiencing and many a reader has cried at the death of a Tolkien character. However, if most people attempt to think of one of his characters the first ones that come to mind are males such as Aragorn and Frodo, when in all reality some of his most intriguing and subtly pivotal characters are females. Galadriel, Lúthien, Arwen, and Éowyn are four of those such women who are all individually different, although they can be
