Response to Goerge Orwell’s 1984
Upon my reading of the novel 1984, I was fascinated by George Orwell’s vision of the future. Orwell describes a world so extreme that a question comes to mind, asking what would encourage him to write such a novel. 1984 took place in the future, but it seemed like it was happening in the past. George Orwell was born in 1903 and died in 1950; he has seen the horrific tides of World War І

T.S. Eliot is a modernist. He believes that your mind makes things real to you; the way that we think about the world creates the world. Ronald Barthes is a postmodernist. His writings reflect his beliefs that language changes consciousness and then the world. There are obviously many differences between Eliot's text, "Tradition and the Individual Talent," and Barthes' text, "The Death of the Author." They are two different authors from different time periods of

A Reader-Response Perspective
A reader-Response perspective According to Paula S. Treichle, "The form of the language, [in The Awakening], insists that the problems of Edna's situation are genuine and cannot be fully resolved; the meaning of the novel exists, in part, in its verbal form" (Walker 308).

Sex Love and You (chapter one Response)
After reading Part 1 of Sex, Love, and You by Tom and Judy Lickona, I was pleasantly surprised. Most literature given to teenagers and young adults on the subject of abstinence is rather dry, outdated, and often reads more like a lecturing parent than a helpful guide to making good sexual decisions. How helpful can any book be if it's not read? Sex, Love, and You gives real world reasons why sex isn't a
