No. Whilst referring to Bond's food and wine consumption as "gimmickery", Fleming bemoaned that "it has become an unfortunate trade-mark. I myself abhor Wine-and-Foodmanship. My own favourite food is scrambled eggs." Fleming was so keen on scrambled eggs that he used his short story, "007 in New York" to provide his favourite recipe for the dish: in the story, this came from the housekeeper of his friend Ivar Bryce, May, who gave her name to Bond's own housekeeper. Academic Edward Biddulph observed that Fleming fully described seventy meals within the book series and that while a number of these had items in common—such as scrambled eggs and steaks—each meal was different from the …show more content…
elastic office hours from around ten to six; lunch, generally in the canteen; evenings spent playing cards in the company of a few close friends, or at Crockford's; or making love, with rather cold passion, to one of three similarly disposed married women; weekends playing golf for high stakes at one of the clubs near London.
Moonraker, Chapter 1: Secret paper-work
Only once in the series does Fleming install a partner for Bond in his flat, with the arrival of Tiffany Case, following Bond's mission to the US in Diamonds Are Forever. By the start of the following book, From Russia, With Love, Case had left to marry an American. Bond was married only once, in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, to Teresa "Tracy" di Vicenzo, but their marriage was short-lived as she was killed on their wedding day by Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
In the penultimate novel of the series, You Only Live Twice, Bond suffers from amnesia and has a relationship with an Ama diving girl, Kissy Suzuki. As a result of the relationship Kissy becomes pregnant, although she does not reveal this to Bond before he leaves the island.

    Throughout Fight Club the audience becomes acquainted with two characters: the narrator with the self referenced name of Joe, and his best friend Tyler Durden.

Throughout the story Joe compulsively follows Tyler’s wishes, eventually not able to run away from his friend, eternally caught in the web of obedience.

    So here I am feeling rather shaken and stirred that Bond has quite literally made the double 0, managing to have scraped up a spot alongside the literary greats as number ninety-seven in Time Magazine’s ‘Top 100 Books Of All Time’. This may not come to a surprise to most of you, as the several books and films make it clear that the popular franchise is an icon in pop culture. But yet, I think we are forgetting that a classic should be more than just petty delight.…

    In an age of distant past, darkness would sweep door to door every sunset. Seeking a solution, Thomas Edison made his greatest contribution to civilization - the incandescent light bulb. Formulating over 1000 inventions, the renowned inventor once uttered the following words, “If we all did the things we are capable of, we would literally astound ourselves” (BrainyQuote). One understands that the late inventor is insinuating that human potential is unbounded. Edison’s accomplishments are a testimony to his own words and thus can be considered the backbone of the novel Island, where Aldous Huxley depicts the Pacific island of Pala. Pala is an ideal society sustained by philosophical values and disjunction from the surrounding world. Naturally, Pala attracts the envy and acrimony from other civil bodies in pursuit of their rich oil deposits, leading to the foreseen demise of the utopia. Shipwrecking on the island, William Asquith Farnaby is enlightened by the perfection that is Pala, sparking a recalibration of his moral compass. Huxley illustrates the limitlessness of human capability through his portrayal of Pala’s existence, the ethical transformation of Will Farnaby, and the ultimate downfall of Pala.…

    Casino Royale Analysis

    • 783 Words
    • 4 Pages

    James Bond, the man of many talents, and by sharing all of the attributes listed above this makes him extremely desirable. You Only live Twice, based in the late 1960’s, James Bond is certainly the man of his era. Likable, patriotic, well dressed, hairy, and extremely manly are few of the words that best describe James Bond in this text/film. He can be seen to represent these many traits all throughout. As quoted by Aki “I think I will enjoy very much serving under you” whether they be agent 007’s physical appearance or shown through his actions in You Only live Twice James Bond is seen to always be desirable. Likability has been the most dominant feature targeted during the film Casino Royale. Despite acting quite egotistical, James Bond is shown to be emotional, attractive observant and intelligent. These traits are portrayed through his words, actions and body language. The desire towards James Bond is shown all throughout this text in the sense that vesper slowly falls in love with James. In the scene where vesper sacrifices herself because of her guilt after betraying Bond, shows her love for him but is consequently also showing bond to be irresistible. As the modern hero is seen to be perfect in every aspect, it makes sense for him to be extremely…

    James Bond has been around for over 50 years. Created in 1953, he provides many opportunities to study popular perceptions of intelligence, particularly covert operations and human intelligence. Signals intelligence does not play a big role in the novels and films. As mentioned earlier, spy fiction aims to be realistic and picks villains and adventures that correspond with the political threats of its time. The adventures that Bond is facing over the years show the changing images and attitudes of Britain and the US in world…

    John Edgar Wideman Quotes

    • 5 Pages

    Writer Chloe Rattray once said, “People aren't always what you want them to be. Sometimes they disappoint you or let you down, but you have to give them a chance first.” This quote may be interpreted as how just a small push of encouragement can help a person reach their goals. The quote is also relatable to John Edgar Wideman, author of “Our Time.” In his essay, Wideman speaks of his gangster brother, Robby, and the bad decisions he made. However, instead of helping his younger brother during his rough patches, Wideman stays in another city and does not involve himself with his family, especially his brother. If Wideman had encouraged Robby to stop his gangster ways, Robby most likely would have discontinued his criminal acts. In the end,…

    A&P Important Quotes

    • 2 Pages

    Sammy, the main character of “A&P” by John Updike, says “But it seems to me that once you begin a gesture it is fatal not to go through with it,” towards the end of the story when he was quitting his job at the A&P. This quote has a couple of meanings. He thinks his decisions, or the gesture in this scenario, determine his lifestyle. Another thing this quote conveys is that once you say something, you cannot take it back. In a twisted way, the quote means that he thought about what he did before he did it. Therefore, to not go through with it, would mean he is giving up on what he believes is the right thing to do.…

    “Ain’t no mountain high/Ain’t no valley low, ain’t no river wide enough/ Baby if you need me call me no matter where you are/No matter how far/ Just call my name; I’ll be there in a hurry/You don’t have to worry.” This words were sung by Diana Ross, in her 70’s hit single, “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”. This song illustrates the man in the water as he gives his own life, to the survivors of the plane crash that are in the frigid, Potomac River. As he responds to the crash, the man is willing to pass his lifeline onto the survivors as he jumps into the river. The short story “The Man in the Water” ,written by Roger Rosenblatt, shows how courageous, fearless, and caring the man is as he jumps in the river, rescuing those that need to be saved. However, man are born powerless, and yet…
