The Professor And The Madman Analysis

He realized one of the only ways to learn was to get himself a dictionary to study. He began copying down words into his tablet.“Then, aloud, I read back, to myself, everything I had written on my tablet. Over and over, aloud, to myself, I read my own handwriting.”

The little sandy-haired woman had turned bright pink, and her mouth was opening and shutting like that of a landed fish. Even O'Brien's heavy face was flushed. He was sitting very straight in his chair, his powerful chest swelling and quivering as though he were standing up to the assault of a wave. The dark-haired girl behind Winston had begun crying out ‘Swine! Swine! Swine!’ and suddenly she picked up a heavy Newspeak dictionary and flung it at the screen. (30)

Hospitals are meant to help some people heal physically and others mentally. In the novel One Who Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey published in 1962, readers are introduced to a mental hospital that has goals that do not align with helping people. Within the hospital, characters with varied personalities and opinions are intermixed with three main characters playing specific roles with supporting characters close by. With the characters’ motivations, themes develop such as the emasculation of the men in the hospital by an oppressive nurse. Symbols, such as laughter and the “combine”, are also pertinent to themes as the readers watch the men transitioning from being oppressed to being able to stand up for themselves causing change in hospital policy.

“Toolbox” is organized into five sections. King begins the chapter with a simple story explaining the usefulness of a physical toolbox for handy chores around the house (King 103-106). He chooses to place this section at the beginning to warm readers up to the idea of a metaphorical toolbox of writing tools. Once King makes the logical connection between an actual toolbox and a virtual toolbox, he analyzes vocabulary as the first writing tool. Vocabulary is the most common tool, so King places it at the beginning of the argument (King 107-111). The next three sections of the chapter each address a different aspect of writing, treating them as levels of a toolbox (King 111-129). King organizes the middle of the chapter “Toolbox” in a specific order that immerses his audience in the act of digging through a toolbox, layer by layer. The final section continues the metaphor into comparing pieces of writing to buildings (King 127-131). Due to his use of organization, upon finishing the chapter, King leaves his fellow writers with a vivid picture of the old, rickety toolbox and the motivation to begin construction on a literary building.

“Madman, Architect, Carpenter, Judge: Roles and the Writing Process” written by Betty S. Flowers suggests that writing is a process that can be blocked by different personas, or roles, in our brain. These personas can fight against each other or skillfully work together. The writing process can either be difficult or “can come only when the energies are flowing freely-when you’re not stuck”. To write successfully, we must separate these energies. Otherwise, you risk not ever starting or starting and not finishing. The roles that help use in the writing process are the madman, architect, carpenter, and judge.

Lu Xun was one of the first prominent writers of modern china. He uses an ironic technique in the preface by writing in classical Chinese language to suggest a false, friendly world made exclusively by social appearances. The traditional Chinese text is typically seen as superior, and as per the Chinese traditions the modern language is seen as an intruder. The author’s use of the style was a way of making a point. “Diary of a Madman” is a short story written by Lu Xun and was published in the new youth magazine in 1918 (231). The story demonstrates his discontent with traditional Chinese culture, not only by the fact that it clearly addresses the horror of cannibalism that is believed to have occurred but he is also trying to point out the oppressive nature of Confucian principles. In the short novel, the madman has the ability to recognize the cruel elements of Chinese Confucian culture that serves to mock established but out-dated traditional scholarship.

John Humphrys is portrayed as a well-spoken, educated, individual (Radio, Television Presenter and an Author) who is very worried about the English language. “Life the love affair with OED” he uses this to express how infatuated by dictionaries he is and how this article shows how hurt he is. The new edition of Oxford English dictionary came out; Humphrys uses humour to describe how the dictionary ‘has fallen victim to fashion’ because of the removal of the “hyphen” of no fewer than 16,000 words that has “betrayed” his “precious” OED. He continues ‘it has happened because we are changing the way we communicate with each other, which means…. We no longer have time to reach the hyphen key’ meaning we are becoming very lazy with the new generation of technology.
