J.D. Salinger's "The Catcher In The Rye": Language
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. J.D. Salinger captures the pure essence of innocence and vulnerability in his classic The Catcher in the Rye by presenting a most detailed and intricate verbal account of Holden's quest for acceptance from a world that has otherwise betrayed him. By using only words, the author conjures up literary images of Holden's most desirable woman that are difficult to overlook in their inherent singularity and definitude. Indeed, this is a concept appreciated by adults and adolescents alike, in that such beautiful – yet sometimes-subtle impressions – represent the epitome of Holden's quest. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

J.G. Ballard's "Empire Of The Sun": Jim's Metamorphosis
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. Interpretive literature encompasses myriad existential elements that directly relate to character development; indeed, it is not merely a compilation of dates and events, but rather it is an exploration of humanity's spiritual side sometimes gone awry. Such is the case with J.G. Ballard's Empire of the Sun, inasmuch as this literary masterpiece shares the common denominator of achieving self-awareness and wholeness so prevalent in war stories. The very process of living life and expanding one's existence has often been perceived as a rebirth of sorts, with Ballard taking the concept to an infinitely high level of appreciation with Jim, his primary character. By embracing this inherent – and often esoteric – power, the reader is able to grasp a significantly better understanding of Jim's developing self-awareness and wholeness. No additional sources cited.

J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Fellowship Of The Ring": Good Versus Evil
[ send me this essay ]
7 pages in length. The theme of good versus evil in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Fellowship of the Ring provides the reader with significant clues as to the fundamental message Tolkien is trying to convey, as well as how events of the author's life influenced the presentation of this theme. It is unquestionable that "The Fellowship of the Ring" possesses many important components of good and evil that, if not taken in their direct context, will be overlooked by the average reader. It is essential to also look beyond the author's obvious intention with regard to such inherent conflict so as not to miss the grand but elusive subtleties. To be sure, Tolkien's writing incorporates a significant amount of blatancy while also implying considerable obscurity in his treatment of good and evil, a dichotomy that has served to be the cornerstone of the author's works, which have successfully stood the test of time. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

J.R.R. Tolkien: Developing Imaginative Style
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. Ever since man began telling tales, incredible accounts of freakish, monster-like animals have captivated and horrified entire communities. The basis for these extraordinary fabrications was the inability of early writers to distinguish between truth and fantasy. As the stories were passed down through generations, they eventually became accepted as the legends we know today. The younger years of one of mythological literature's most beloved writers – J.R.R. Tolkien – served to greatly impact this imaginative style; however, the author did not fully grasp his unique talent until the 1930s when he worked and reworked The Hobbit and ultimately came up with new ideas of mythological literature in the essay "On Fairy Stories." By this time Tolkien had come to realize that fantasy stories were plainly not primarily concerned with possibility, but with desirability. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
