In the first chapter of this novel, we get introduced to the protagonist and narrator of the novel, Holden Caufield, from a rest home in which he has been sent for therapy. He refuses to talk about his early life, although he does explain that his older brother “D.B” sold out to writing for Hollywood. His story and breakdown begins in the school of Pencey Prep, a boarding school set in Pennsylvania. The setting for the early chapters in the narration is his "terrible" school, to which he describes the atmosphere to be “as cold as the December air on Thomsen Hill”. Holden’s student career at Pencey Prep has been destroyed by his refusal to apply himself. We know this after Holden explains he failed four of his five subjects, passing only English. Due to his lack of effort and determination, he was forbidden to return to the school after the term. The Saturday before Christmas vacation began, Holden overlooked the football field, where Pencey usually

After viewing Peter Mansbridge's interviews with the three party leaders, it's clear that all of them are looking forward to strengthening Canada's financial aspect but the fact of the matter is that there is only so much realism you can see from only three men in a span of thirty minutes. However, if one is called upon to identify the most convincing one, I would go with Stephen Harper. My opinion is based solely on his willingness and desire to fulfill his promises directly from the national budget; and his ideology where admitting large quantities of refugees into the country is not a solution but rather a never-ending process; and finally, he wants to keep taxation rates below what it is now. This is not to say that the others don't offer

Harper Lee’s 1960 novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Rob Sitch’s 1997 film The Castle, are are examples of texts which have a strong focus on a protagonist’s values and the notion of ‘doing the right thing’. The implication of law and justice, role of the ‘father figure’ and symbol of the mockingbird are themes which will be explored when identifying how authors use language conventions - such as sentence choice, characterization, symbolism and issues - to uncover how people stand up for their beliefs.

“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.” -Philip K. Dick

‘The Man in the High Castle’ tells the story of a parallel world, one in which the Japanese and the Germans won the war, and the world now operates in their favor. The story line revolves around a book that is written by a man who only writes what the Ching says to. One book in particular is forbidden to many, and it is because the contents tell the story of ‘what really happened’, how we got to the world we live in today. Philip K Dick wraps this intriguing story around themes of power, deceit, racial discrimination, fate, and gender norms of the 1950’s and 60’s.

In the 19th century novel, The Count of Monte Cristo, the count states, “In return for slow, deep, infinite, eternal pain, I should return as nearly as possible a pain equivalent to the one inflicted on me. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth” (Dumas 385). There are many different viewpoints in the world of what is right and what is wrong, influencing the common theme of justice in many literary works today. Subjects of justice can be seen and compared in pieces of literature and religious texts such as the Bible and The Count of Monte Cristo written by Alexandre Dumas. These pieces demonstrate how two important characters, Edmond Dantés and Joseph from the Old Testament, perceive and carry out justice in certain situations. Both faced with feelings of backstabbing betrayal, Edmond Dantés and Joseph differ in their responses, leading to either revenge or forgiveness.

In Kevin Reynolds’ film adaptation of “The Count of Monte Cristo”, there are many prime examples of significant events and their effects on characters. With an intense plotline and uniquely dramatic assortment of settings, it creates the perfect piece for analysis. One particular conclusion that can be made from this in-depth study of the story is that significant events and adversity change us on a fundamental level, and cause us to act drastically. This is clearly illustrated by Edmond Dantes’ dramatic change in character following his imprisonment, Mercedes’ marriage to Fernand, and Jacopo’s oath to Edmond.

First published in 1845, The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas is a classic rags-to-riches revenge story. Edmond Dantès, wrongfully imprisoned for 14 years, returns with a cavern full of riches, a noble title as the Count of Monte Cristo, and a princess slave to exact revenge on his enemies. But while Dumas tells a compelling story in over a thousand pages, he is not the best writer. Often redundant, Dumas has a tendency to take the reader out of the story either with a jarring comment or extra detail. In addition, in The Count of Monte Cristo specifically, Dumas also employs another literary technique with strange frequency – the allusion. This paper aims to find the significance of Dumas’ numerous allusions to Shakespeare, and especially to Romeo and Juliet.

Dumas focuses on Shakespeare’s tragedies more than his other plays, a genre of theatre usually revolving around the words fate and fortune. It is the inevitable that often brings the sense of tragedy so well to the audience, usually paired with some awful dramatic irony that achieves the effect of catharsis. But if one reads The Count of Monte Cristo, one would find that Dumas himself does not really care for the existence of fate. This is the most evident in the count’s first conversation with Villefort where the two characters almost seem to take sides, Villefort arguing for the inevitability of fate, and the count for the power of Providence:
