John Le Carre: Spy And Ex-Spy
[ send me this paper ]
Everyone seems to have their opinion as
to what genre makes for the best reading, however, there are certain
elements that almost every reader will agree are necessary for 'good
literature'. These include character development, theme, irony (or
satire) and descriptive devices. This 6 page paper explains why John Le
Carre's spy novels, specifically The Spy Who Came In From The Cold and
Our Game, are excellent examples of what it takes to be 'good
literature' within the adventure/suspense and 'spy' genre. Annotated
bibliography lists 6 sources.

John Milton's "Samson Agonistes"
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page explanation specifying that John Milton's "Samson Agonistes" falls into the literary genre of classic tragedy. Contends that the classification of "tragedy", however, is not to be confused with the more common contemporary usage of employing it to describe any type of catastrophe or form of bad luck. Instead, this literary genre provides a dramatic yet serious and dignified depiction of sorrow and misfortune which are either encountered by or caused by a heroic individual. In the case of "Samson Agonistes" this heroic individual is Samson himself. Samson, however, can be contended to be both a hero and a failure. His failure lies not in his lost battle but in his refusal to acknowledge his own role in that loss, his refusal to acknowledge that obliged the call of his libido over that of his God. This is the nature of tragedy as a literary genre. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels" Book IV: Reason And Value
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Eighteenth century philosophy especially tended to pride itself on having developed to the highest degree the renaissance faith in reason as the distinctive quality of man. Author Jonathan Swift's attitude to his era's view of reason as the sole criterion of value is what ultimately transpired in Book IV of "Gulliver's Travels." That Gulliver had had an interesting – albeit at times strange – journey thus far in the tale did not prepare him for the discovery of his true self, an image he had not only loathed in himself but had previously condemned in others. No additional sources cited.

Jonathan Swift’s “Gulliver’s Travels”
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report
discusses Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) and his most famous work,
“Gulliver’s Travels.” It is the many distortions -- size,
attitude, beliefs, actions -- that serve as the greatest insight
into Swift’s story and the realm in which he presents the most
thought-provoking of contrasts. For example, the differences that
exist in the size of the Lilliputians, the Brobdingnag, and
Gulliver all have a relevant significance to the larger (pun
intended) story. No secondary sources.
