...1984 Literally Analysis By: Sam Palmer In 1984 by George Orwell, there are many different themes from the point of view of Winston Smith. The main theme of the book is being in control. Two of the major themes, which are explained in the novel, are the control of information, history, and language as mind control. These are two forms of control, which are practiced by the Party and the citizens of Oceania. The topic of control of information and history in the novel, through many different ideas. One main ways this theme is brought out is through the Party's slogan "Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past", which is repeated in this novel. This theme is also, the fact that the Party controls every source of information and history. This is shown through the "Ministry of Truth", it manages and rewrites the pages of history for its own benefits. The final way in which the Party controls information and history is through not allowing people to keep their own memories of the past, such as their own pictures or documents, which means that the only true knowledge of the past exists in their memory. One of the main ways in which this theme is brought out is through the idea of Newspeak, so that it would be impossible "see" thoughts, because there is no words to even express them with. Another way in which language is used as mind control is the Party's slogans, which are taught into the citizens of Oceania from the moment they are born...

Background of the Study Literature is the reflection of culture, religion, history and politics of human being. According to Owo Moyela(1993), literature is “linguistically the commented facts and ideas through which people used to present their deeds and world views from one generation to other”. We can infer from this quotation that literature can reflect the deeds of human being which is transferred for new generations. On the one hand, the past deeds are the containers of historical events. Literature is also a use of language in artistic way rather than simply...

...Leonardo Da Vinci was one of the most prominent men in history and was the creator of many new ideas. He created many works of art and invented many new technologies that would be considered extreme for the time period. One of the biggest works of art he completed was “The Last Supper”. This painting, done in fresco, plays a significant role in Christianity and depicts Jesus with his disciples. Along with “The Last Supper”, The Book of Genesis was produced to influence belief on a group of individuals. These works of art are cemented in history and can be connected to each other by their significant individual affects on human existence. “The Last Supper” and the creation story in The Book of Genesis are connected to one another by theology and both share themes such as creationism and humanism. To understand how these individual pieces of work are connected to each other, one must first breakdown why these works of art were created. The Last Supper is one of the most thought-provoking and controversial works of Leonardo da Vinci. It is a mural painting, which means that it is directly painted on a wall, and is created by Leonardo in Milan from 1495 till 1498. Da Vinci painted it for his patron Duke Ludovico Sforza who decided that he wanted this religious scene painted. The Last Supper measures 15 feet × 29 feet and covers the back wall of the dining hall at Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy. Leonardo spent 3 years painting it because of its measurements but actually...

...Theme Park Investigation for TRC, Inc. Prepared by Jeorge Vega Director of Vega Consulting Group Report Distributed May 7, 2010 Prepared for TRC, Inc. INTRODUCTION This report examines the current state of the theme park industry and how TRC, Inc. can expand into the state of Florida. Florida already has theme parks that range from Disney World to Busch Gardens, zoos and aquariums. Vega Consulting group will analyze and investigate future possibilities for TRC, Inc. Theme parks and amusement parks are places people to go to have fun, relax and enjoy themselves. An amusement park is more elaborate than a simple city park or playground, usually providing attractions meant to cater to children, teenagers, and adults. A theme park is differentiated from an amusement park by its various sections devoted to telling a particular story. In this report, Vega Consulting Group will look at what makes a theme park successful, the demographics of the local audience of where the park will be located and built. This report will also look the competition and will analyze their strong and weak points and we will look at the developing trends in theme parks as far as what the theme parks of the future will be and what it will offer to the public.

...Egstrand 1 Alyssa Egstrand Professor Sewell ENG: The Literary Experience 1331 28 September 2011 Investigating the Impact of History on Modern Society within Natasha Trethewey’s Native Guard Rooted in the shadows of history, Native Guard by Natasha Trethewey intertwines personal and historical accounts to scrutinize the impact of the past on the present. Trethewey’s Native Guard is divided into three sections, which chronicle her mother’s life and death, the erased history of the Louisiana Native Guard, and Trethewey’s childhood in Mississippi. These different stories amalgamate, and open a dialogue about the impact of history on today’s world. Throughout Native Guard Trethewey infuses emotion into these untold stories by including personal reflections regarding each event that transpired. The third and final section of the book though, is the most important component to the overall work; it details Trethewey’s connections to her memories of growing up in Mississippi. This section synthesizes each unique focus of Native Guard, and consequentially forms one united theme: the importance of remembering of the past—the recorded, the biased, and the erased—due to its impact on the future. The final poem, “South” of Natasha Trethewey’s Native Guard, specifically highlights this theme by utilizing extended metaphors, integrating of memories with historical details, and infusing irony to illustrate racial conflicts. Trethewey begins the poem “South” with an extended metaphor discussing...

...this issue a new book about Starbucks. He told us, in an e-mail exchange, how he brews his own reviews: “I read something I’m reviewing the same way I read other things except more so. That is, I already keep a commonplace book (a file folder, really) for quotations, ideas, information, etc. If I’m going to write a review I mark the work for myself, but besides underlining what interests me I also underline what — as far as I can tell — interested the author. By the time I’m done I have an outline for the review. All I have to do is figure out a smart-aleck lead sentence and a wiseacre ending.”[1] 2. Then read the “How to write a Book Review” article on the very next page. Yes, it is a bit long but the information is really quite good. 3. Over the week go to www.salon.com or to http://www.nytimes.com/pages/books read at least five reviews and then divide them into good and bad reviews. Think about the specific qualities that define the better ones. The article from step two of this process will be helpful at this point. At the end of the day a good book review sees an interesting pattern or spins your understanding of the book in a new and delightful way…and importantly is enjoyable to read (as a writer you need to have fun savaging the book, exploring it, dwelling on it, falling in love with it, etc.). Finally remember that your job is to convince a reader of the book’s relative merit. 4. Read this definition from the 17th century Wit; a nimbleness of thought;...
