Vulgar Language In The Truth Finders
The silences broke when Mr. Jarvis says, “Ramsay, the moment Brutus, a rolling transmitter, rolled into your office a panel of Truth Finders observed your actions and heard every word spoken. Thus, they noted: your obsession with the clutter on your desk - the red wig and lavender eyes smacked of vanity - instead of utilizing you internal components you choice pen and paper to write the book, not to mention your usage of the term writer’s block - display of vulgar language and this notion of you contemplating dancing - they concluded your behavior abnormal for a humanoid. The Truth Finders identified at least four human traits which you showed signs of – indecisiveness, forgetfulness, vanity, and obsessive-compulsive behavior. Their concerns

    Summary: The Science Of Swearing

    Throughout the world there are many different views on the use of swear words in everyday life. From evening family slot times to late night tv shows, cursing in society is slowly becoming part of our “normal” day to day language. Whether or not it is accepted is something different. Society has often labeled swearing one of two things: as an extreme type of language only used by the uneducated or the greatest use of power words that should be used by any and all people. Though swearing is offensive to many, it is proven to be a major extension of our vocabulary and should be tolerated and understood to a greater extent.…

    The Role Of Censorship In Fahrenheit 451

    A quote by Laurie Halse Anderson, author of Speak and Chains, states, “Censorship is the child of fear and the father of ignorance.” Ray Bradbury exhibits the two main factors that support self censorship in his dystopian novel, Fahrenheit 451. Through the development of a shallow culture and hostility towards books, Bradbury implies how mass media can suppress free speech as thoroughly as a controlling government. With the growth of a pleasure centered culture, fast cars, loud music, and television overpower the popularity of books. The abundance of stimulation in this new lifestyle makes published materials overwhelming and unable to hold society’s concentration. Bradbury describes how society slowly loss interest in books, by condensing…

    Dissatisfaction In Ray Bradbury's 'Fahrenheit 451'

    Mildred, Guy Montag’s wife, clearly shows dissatisfaction through her actions by continually wearing her wireless headphones and constantly talking with her “family” in the parlor. This causes her to be distracted even from her own discontent. During a casual conversation Montag brings up the previous night and mentions that she had overdosed and she responds with an irritable voice saying “Heck, what would I do a silly thing like that for?” (Bradbury, 19). This shows her dissatisfaction, and how hidden it is even from her own eyes. She can no longer fix her own dissatisfaction because it is hidden under her surface. She does not recognize it, she unknowingly keeps her self distracted with the use of “toys” she has. Instead of looking to books for wisdom and…

    A Psychological Profile of Holden Caufield

    A Psychological Profile of Holden Caufield

    <b>Thesis:</b> Holden Caufield is a hostile, negatively charged character that suffers from depression which stems from a desire not to grow up and a lack of closure in his brothers death.<br><br>"If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you 'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like . . . "(pg. 1) These first words that Holden Caufield communicates during his tell of events that brought him to his breakdown, show the pent up hostility that still lingers. This pattern of speech, the constant expression of negativity, is a character trait of Holden that shows his inner anguish. Holden also feels a continual need for affirmation of what he just said with phrases such as, "He really would."(pg. 25) or "It really isn 't." (Pg. 89) This continual need for approval shows a lowered level of self-assurance. This lowered self-assurance probably stems from his self-awareness that he is an unreliable source. The reason he is unreliable is due to his deceitful narrative of occurrences. This is seen repeatedly as Holden builds an individual up as good or righteous such as Stradlater, (pg. 25) then tears him down later. (pg 43) This inability to give truthful accounts of individuals could stem from his constant digression from the point at hand. Holden freely admits to this trait on page 183 when he says "The trouble with me is, I like it when somebody digresses. It 's more interesting and all."<br><br>"Certain things they should stay the way they are. You ought to be able to stick them in one of those big glass cases and just leave them alone."(pg. 122) This phrase Holden made while discussing how things were different each time he went to the museum, stems from an inability to accept that he must grow up. The thought of growing up has driven Holden into bouts of depression as inhis discussion on page 133, " It 'd be entirely different. I said. I was getting depressed as hell again." <br><br>This nonconformist desire has led…

    Theme Of Dystopia In Fahrenheit 451

    Because he is happy with his life, he has no reason to doubt what he has been told about books. He knows only that books are bad and they must be burned. For 10 years, he has found that “it [is] a pleasure to burn” (Bradbury 1). He enjoys his job because he believes he is benefiting society. He sees books as enemies that could impair the functionality of his perfect society. Destroying these enemies gives him satisfaction. Even after he finishes his job each day, he feels the “fiery smile gripped still by his face muscles” (2). Montag is driven by a passion to do what he thinks is right. Doing what society tells him to do is his way of defeating any obstacles that could diminish his happiness. He associates his job with a passion and a sense of fulfillment. After 10 years of what he sees as exciting work, the smell of “kerosene...is nothing but perfume to [him]” (4). Montag’s job is so pleasing to him, that his mind has begun to connect his happiness to every part of his job. His willingness to destroy books maintains his satisfaction with the…

    Personal Narrative: Alex Turing's Death

    After the band perfmorance, my lips were dry and burned bright red; the skin was flaky, peeling horribly, and blood drizzled from the tired cracks. My tired eyes, worn from the continous reading of fast-paced rhythms, ached from the bright lights and dehydration gnawed at every part of me. On the car ride home, I felt, truly, like I had just walked across the Sahara Desert, only to be forced to walk back again. Playing trombone for three hours tends to have such an effect. However, it didn’t take long until we - which included my family and I - made it back to our house. I unbuckled my seatbelt with lazy hands, only supported by fatigued wrists, and was barely able to lug myself from the seat and to the door. Upon making it inside, however, it was much to my parent’s discontent that I did not stop for a glass of water or food or even the slightest bit of chapstick. Instead, I threw my weary self onto the couch, grabbed the remote for the television and clicked “resume”; on the screen, Alex Turing was solving the Nazi Enigma code. As I sat licking my lips and stretching, I was careful to take note of how the characters acted and behaved at pivotal intervals. Actors and actresses were the second best thing to real people, and gave me great insight into the everchanging riddle that is human…

    Telling the Truth About the Damned Lies

    It’s been made clear by the author, that the average American citizen does not possess an optimal knowledge on mathematics. Assuming that his words reflect the truth, naturally. The sole fact that society has converted the incapacity of an adult to perform basic mental processes into a laughing matter, reveals the alarming condition of the country’s masses. Therefore, without any developed mathematical skills, it wouldn’t be too implausible to believe that a standard individual is unable to tell, or at least estimate, the consistency of any given statistic. Nonetheless, Joel Best’s goal is not to prove the inefficiency of the education system, but the credulity and lack of judgment of the general public.…
