Boy’s Don’t Cry
Brandon Teena loved his relationships with women. While it is hard to address Brandon as a male I think it is the respect he deserves. If he still lived he would wish to be called Brandon not Teena.

Bradbury Explores the Idea of Ignorance
Abstract Bradbury explores the idea of ignorance and its possible consequences in his novel, "Fahrenheit 451".

It explains how Bradbury utilizes symbols of mirrors and fire to prompt Montag's character into becoming something other than a

Brandstreet and Female Identity
There are not too many "major" female writers in American Literature, and writing, traditionally, has always been viewed as a masculine activity. It is therefore very interesting, and even ironic, that the first author published in the newly established Puritan society on the American soil, Anne Bradstreet, was a female. Indeed, Bradstreet's poems are filled with female presence. However, I also sense that Bradstreet's feminism is held in check by her Puritan values, and there

Brave New World V 1984
Our society is, in many ways, far from the totalitarianism of George Orwell’s 1984, and yet it is surprisingly close to the brainwashed civilization of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World which paints a vivid picture of indulgence, promiscuity, and an utter lack of individuality. The world of Brave New World is mindless and seeped so deeply in pleasure that the people, rather than being oppressed as in 1984, lack any incentive to change, and,
