    Through out one of the greatest Christmas stories of all time, it is easy to find the symbolism through the book, A Christmas C’arol. But one of my personal favorite symbolism is what the man Bob Cratchet represents along with his horrible relationship with Scrooge.

    How Does Bob Brooks Change

    Although the novel World War Z, by author Max Brooks, consists of characters as authentic as real individuals, the way in which Brooks reveals the characters and the plot of the novel contributes greatly to its immense success. As a literary device, Brooks uses zombies to add dimension to the story of our society’s response to this enormous threat. Consequently, he implies that our society, largely based upon the idea of a hierarchy, plays a silent antagonist in the novel as the characters, in response to the system, act in inhumane ways to maintain their current social position or rise to another level rather than attempting to solve the existing problem. The characters, whom I believe to have best exhibited these behaviours would definitely…
