The novels Ender's Game and Fahrenheit 451 take place in the future; the futures that the authors' have created are troubled and the world is approaching a disastrous end. Initially, Colonel Graff invites Ender to Battle School and tells him how important it is that he participates in the war. " 'The buggers may seem like a game to you now, Ender, but they damn near wiped us out last time. They had us cold, outnumbered and outweaponed. The only thing that saved us was that we had the most brilliant military commander we ever found. Call it fate, call it God, call it damnfool luck, we had Mazer Rackham.' " (p. 25) The future seems dark because the humans are trailing in bugger war. If the military could get another commander like Mazer Rackham, then the future would be brighter; Ender Wiggins trains to be the next Mazer Rackham. In Fahrenheit 451, people wanting to be entertained all the time causes the future to be mind numbing, bleak, and burnt. "The sun burnt every day. It burnt Time. The world rushed in a circle and turned on its axis and time was busy burning the years and the people anyway, without any help from him. So if he burnt things with the firemen and the sun burnt Time, that meant that everything burnt!" (p. 141)

The two books by Markus Zusak and Paulo Coelho tells the stories of two characters, Liesel Meminger and Santiago, each in their own respective stories. In The Alchemist, Santiago’s story is a much lighter tale with an overall optimistic and adventurous air. He journeys from Spain all the way to Egypt and back before his adventure ends. Zusak’s The Book Thief, sharply contrasts Coelho’s story with the much darker and dangerous world of Nazi Germany.
“My life was taken from me-by one of you !” ( Raskin, pg. 34). In the book The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin a series of roller coasters comes up in this murder mystery.

I have recently finished the book and movie The Westing Game. The book had more detail than the movie Get a Clue. They changed some of the characters and removed some of the character in the movie. I will talk about the characters and the movie. The Westing Game was a great book.
...ce, although both writings are interesting in their own ways, the most interesting aspect of both writings together is that they both have a similar plot and theme. It is rare that two
Ultimately, if a work possesses excellent formal coherence and asserts universal truths, these qualities alone may be sufficient to render the work meaningful to those who exist beyond the time period and cultural context that the work addresses. The work may still prove unable to be deemed a classic, a term reserved for the few works that achieve coherence and the expression of universal themes to a high degree, but that outcome is a possibility. On the other hand, a work that breaks from convention in a unique way and shows proper coherence cannot be readily accessible or significant to readers if its content is significantly confined to one subject.
Heart of Darkness should be taught in high school as long as the students are aware of its racism. Heart of Darkness shatters the view of imperialism that was held during the 19th century and Conrad’s opinion of it aligns with that of modern society. The use of language in the book can improve high schooler’s reading skills as well as help them separate form from substance as they will be able to see that the writing holds racist views. Finally, it is beneficial for students to understand that people can simultaneously have ethical and unethical values such as Conrad understanding how imperialism is a lie but also being racist towards Africans. Heart of Darkness should be taught to high schoolers
Heart of Darkness was based on Conrad’s personal experience in the Congo in 1890, during this time King Leopold of Belgium colonizes Central Africa and forms the Congo Free State. Leopold 's original purpose for colonizing Congo was to harvest Ivory. As a consequence, King Leopold, who was a tyrant used his powers and weapons to force the Congolese’s to work to death. In the same way, that the Hearth of Darkness unfolds; it shares the similarity in which the people of Congo were treated under the authority of Leopold. “The work as going on. The work! And this was the place where some of the helpers had withdrawn to die: “They were dying slowly—it was very clear. They were not enemies, they were not criminals, they were nothing earthly now,
Although Joseph Conrad's novel, Heart of Darkness, and Emily Bronte's, Wuthering Heights, were written in different era, they do in fact share a few similarities.
The Secret Sharer and Heart of Darkness, two of Joseph Conrad’s more well-known novellas, share striking similarities in theme, plot, character development, and symbolism. Each novella presents a seafaring first-person narrator who struggles psychologically with the concept of darkness and other deep themes. “Heart of Darkness is one of literature’s most somber fictions. It explores the fundamental questions about human nature: the capacity for evil, the necessity of restraint, the effects of isolation, and the necessity of relinquishing pride to achieve spiritual salvation” (Haskin). Conrad explores his major theme of human duality in both of his works.
In the novel Heart of Darkness, there are several themes including Good versus Evil, Power, Femininity, and Fate. Two themes are further prevalent and significant. These themes are restraint and identity. They are the two most noteworthy themes in the book because both capitalize on the complexity and flaws of human nature.
