Description of the film 13 - don't know whether this is what you want or not.\n\nAt the edge of adolescence, Tracy is a smart straight-A student--if not a little naive. When she befriends Evie, the most popular and beautiful girl in school, Evie leads Tracy down a path of sex, drugs and self-mutilation. As Tracy transforms herself and her identity, her world becomes a boiling, emotional cauldron fueled by new tensions between her and her mother--as well as, teachers and old friends. \n\nThis is a film written by teenager Nikki Reed and starring Reed, Holly Hunter, Jeremy Sisto, and Evan Rachel Wood\n\nhttp://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hv&cf=info&id=1808450790&intl=us\n\ns

I wish I had kept the essay I had written on this book last year, but I do remember some about Ralph.\n\nRalph used the conch shell as a method of gathering the group together, and in doing so, he took an iniative as a leader.  The novel foreshadows him as a good leader because of his physical stature (lean body, fair hair, good complexion).  He embodied all of these characteristics.  Ralph represents democracy and he sees the island as an opportunity to exercise his newfound strength.\n\nHe has some originality of ideas too, such as building shelter first, setting up the fire, the camp, directing who should do what jobs, finding hunters and others to gather fruit, and designating the "bathroom" spot so the tide clears up the waste.\n\nRalph is ineffective because he gets most of his ideas from Piggy and refuses to compromise with Jack and his choir.  Because of this, they separate and get into fights, thereby allowing themselves to transcend into savagery.  The more conflict, the worse his reliabiliy is.  Futhermore, Ralph buys into the theory of a "ghost" or "beast."  It is Simon that discovers the truth, although untimately he pays the price when trying to warn the others of his discovery about the parachuted man on the mountain.  \n\nAs far as his inability to remember his purpose, Ralph gets tied up in so many small conflicts over power.  Gradually, these get bigger and his leadership diminishes.  The final symbolism of his full loss of power  occurs when Piggy is killed and the conch shell is shattered.\n\nI hope this helps!

There was a hugh fear of communism in the '50s and you could write about McCarthyism and the blaclisting of actors in Hollywood during this period.  The movie about Edward Murrow "Good Night and Good Luck" would explain more on this subject.\n\nAlso, in the fifties the nuclear family was the "norm" and people tried to be like "Ozzie and Harriet" - the perfect family.  That could be another essay.\n\nOr the economic advantages of the generation in the 50s, where homes and cars were affordable, and these families went up within the middle class.\n\nBest wishes.

No, don't pay for someone to write it; those services are annoyingly cruddy.  i tried it once, and the essay I got was something a 2nd grader could have written.\n\nThe most you can do is to grit your teeth and start writing.  Don't worry, you'll get through it (unless you procrastinated, of course).  Just write in any free time you get.  carry your laptop around with you, and if you get spare time, open and type!

Considered a classic, written well enough before 1984,  it was thought to be prophetic in it's day.\n\nIt used to be that no one was considered "educated" who didn't have opinions about this book! (Especially as that year was approaching.)\n\nOrwell gave new meaning to the term "Big Brother," and the term "Orwellian" is used even today to categorize methods of population and thought control used by today's education systems and governments that are similar to those  described in this book.\n\nAdvance warning ~1984~ has some  'scenes' that in those days were a bit risque for parochial school, as well as some violence.\n\nOverall, I consider it a 'must read.'  The report I was required to make for it in  h.s. literature earned the same grade for me in a college class with only a few modifications - so save your notes.

Really, who would want to take the time to write out this many essays for you?  Have you read the book?  It's quite interesting, one of my favorites from all those I read for high school.  I think that if you view the quotes within the context of the novel, they will make more sense to you and you should be able to answer these questions yourself.  You still have the rest of today and all of tomorrow to work.  If you haven't read the book, then try the info here (http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/1984/) for a quick overview.  Try to answer the questions yourself, and over the Thanksgiving break, do yourself a favor and read this wonderful book.

www.cheathouse.com/essay/ essay_view.php?p_essay_id=12167\n\nAlthough you should read it yourself rather than relying on the work of others. I usually recommend www.sparknotes.com but this particular selection was not available there. Good luck.
