shness. I dismissed it, thought of it afterward only as you remember a tree that fell on you or an adder you stepped on by accident, except of course that Hrothgar was more to be feared than a tree or snake. It wasn’t until later, when I was full-grown and Hrothgar was an old, old man, that I settled my soul on destroying him—slowly and cruelly.

What the author is using in this excerpt to develop Grendel's character is Grendel's thoughts. He isn't really saying all of these things.

What is the conflict of the short story, "The Lottery," by Shirley Jackson?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

The conflict of the short story, “The Lottery”, by Shirley Jackson is man vs. nature. It is about the struggle between people in a village with a heritage traditional culture: killing each other.  

EXPLANATION:  

In the short story “The Lottery”, Shirley Jackson as the author and the writer criticizes the old traditional culture which is still being kept by the people in that area. If only the culture is not about killing each other (between the villagers) it doesn’t matter. Yet, the culture includes playing the lottery and killing one another who is the villager of that village. It is such a crime to kill someone innocent.

The short story “The Lottery” tells about villagers in a village who celebrates “lottery” every year. All of the villagers have to join this celebration because it is a heritage traditional culture that should be kept forever. Actually, there is no law regulation about this tradition because it was in the past where modern laws didn’t exist yet.  

Everyone who joins this celebration has to take paper. When someone gets a paper with a black dot on it, he has to be killed by another villager. Although he has to be killed, it is assumed that he is the ‘winner’ of the lottery and it is a pride to be the winner. In the story, Tessie Hutchinson is the ‘lucky’ one to get the black dot paper. As she gets that paper, she has to be killed by another villager. Overall, this story criticizes that old tradition which doesn’t make sense anymore today.

To What Extent is America A Dystopia Project
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

When examining Fahrenheit 451 as a piece of dystopian fiction, a definition for the term "dystopia" is required. Dystopia is often used as an antonym of "utopia," a perfect world often imagined existing in the future. A dystopia, therefore, is a terrible place. You may find it more helpful (and also more accurate) to conceive a dystopian literary tradition, a literary tradition that's created worlds containing reactions against certain ominous social trends and therefore imagines a disastrous future if these trends are not reversed. Most commonly cited as the model of a twentieth-century dystopian novel is Yevgeny Zamiatin's We (1924), which envisions an oppressive but stable social order accomplished only through the complete effacement of the individual. We, which may more properly be called an anti-utopian work rather than a dystopian work, is often cited as the precursor of George Orwell's 1984 (1948), a nightmarish vision of a totalitarian world of the future, similar to one portrayed in We, in which terrorist force maintains order.

We and 1984 are often cited as classic dystopian fictions, along with Aldous Huxley's Brave New World (1932), which, contrary to popular belief, has a somewhat different purpose and object of attack than the previously mentioned novels. Huxley's Brave New World has as its target representations of a blind faith in the idea of social and technological progress.

In contrast to dystopian novels like Huxley's and Orwell's, however, Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 does not picture villainous dictators (like Orwell's O'Brien) or corrupt philosopher-kings (like Huxley's Mustapha Mond), although Bradbury's Captain Beatty shares a slight similarity to Mustapha Mond. The crucial difference is that Bradbury's novel does not focus on a ruling elite nor does it portray a higher society, but rather, it portrays the means of oppression and regimentation through the life of an uneducated and complacent, though an ultimately honest and virtuous, working-class hero (Montag). In contrast, Orwell and Huxley choose to portray the lives of petty bureaucrats (Winston Smith and Bernard Marx, respectively), whose alienated lives share similarities to the literary characters of author Franz Kafka (1883-1924).
