Abstract
This paper reviews two short works, ?The Land of Sad Oranges? by Ghassan Kanafani and "In Praise of Shadows" by Tanizaki Jun?ichiro and discusses how even the simplest, shortest of things can convey the most impact and emotion. It examines how these two works have their differences but are remarkably similar in tone and style. ?The Land of Sad Oranges? is a work of fiction and "In Praise of Shadows" is a work of non-fiction, a series of essays exploring the subtleties of Japanese design. It shows how even though both works are quite different in their format and method of delivery, they are similar in that the way that they focus on minute details and use language to plays upon the reader?s different senses to bring him or her more fully into the work and thereby truly experience the message the respective authors are attempting to convey.
From the Paper
"Such careful attention to these tiny details is what gives these pieces such meaning and weight. What would ordinarily be a small, rather ordinary piece about a family (perhaps more than one) forced to leave their homeland and become refugees is instead an empathetic, evocative piece that draws the reader into the experience. Kanafani accomplishes this by his clever use of language. He deliberately plays upon the reader?s senses to make the experience seem more immediate. "

From the Paper
"This paper is a discussion of oranges, their development as a fruit crop, and the effects of weather, climate, and other environmental forces on their growth. Although oranges are familiar fruits across the world, they are a relatively modern addition to international food choices, providing health benefits as well as culinary diversity. They can be grown widely but only within the "citrus belt," the latitudes that allow for the temperate climates and sufficient rainfall that the trees need to produce healthy, good-sized fruit.
Oranges are believed to have originated in the more tropical regions of China and the Malay Archipelago. Leon D. Batchelor and Walton S. Sinclair write, "Oranges and other citrus species have been cultivated from remote ages, and records of this early distribution from the original habitat to nearby countries are lost ..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses Agent Orange which was a red-orange 50-50 liquid mixture of 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. The writer notes that American and Allied Forces soldiers recalled Agent Orange as a red liquid dropping from jungle leaves, which soaked their uniforms as they went on patrol. The writer explains that its purpose was to defoliate trees and remove the enemies' jungle cover in Vietnam. The writer also notes that this deadly liquid is now known to be responsible for a wide range of ailments, including disabilities and death, to an estimated 2.6 million Vietnam veterans and their offspring. The writer concludes that it has been more than 30 years since the use of these herbicides and that it was past the time for full and open disclosure of the hard facts in this regard.
From the Paper
"Federal authorities first became aware of the condition in 1979 when the Veterans Affairs offered health care and medical examination to the veterans. The medical surveillance program was meant to review the veterans' health concerns. The VA examined 334,000 of the 3.4 million veterans and registered the findings in a computer database. The VA has an Advisory Committee on Health-Related Effects of the Herbicides, established in 1979 to record and evaluate the health effects of the herbicides used in Vietnam by the soldiers. The VA also set up the Veterans' Advisory Committee on Environmental Hazards, composed of non-VA experts on dioxin and radiation exposure. Its duty was to advise on the outcomes of activities surrounding the use of Agent Orange. A 1991 federal law directed the VA to ask the National Academy of Sciences to or NAS to review the diseases linked to herbicide exposure."

Abstract
The novel, "A Clockwork Orange," by Anthony Burgess, is quite intriguing and also a little strange. It speaks of a world where violence lurks just around the corner and where large amounts of crime take place on a nightly basis. In this story, some people simply seem to do as they please without questioning whether their actions are right or wrong. This does not just occur in the story, but it also happens in real life. This is so because people have the power to choose. In other words, people have free will. Along with the power to choose, people also possess flaws in their character, which can have a very negative affect on a person's life. This paper discusses how Anthony Burgess's "A Clockwork Orange" is a story about a boy and his downfall, overconfidence, love of classical music, and the importance of free will.
From the Paper
"The narrator's second downfall, which becomes obvious by the end of this passage and chapter, is his love for classical music. When Alex is inside the old woman's house, he suddenly sees a bust of "Ludwig van himself," which becomes the sole focus of his attention for a moment (Orange 62). This shows how the protagonist's passion for music distracts him so much that he slips on the milk saucers and falls down. When this happens, the old lady takes her chance and begins to hit him. The struggle between Alex and the old woman gives the police enough time to arrive and for Alex to be arrested. This is a perfect example, and there are many more throughout the story, of how the narrator's love of music disrupts what he is trying to accomplish. This particular downfall is partially the reason he ends up in prison."

"Sleeper" and "Clockwork Orange", 2004.
An analysis and comparison of the seemingly very different movies, "Sleeper" and "A Clockwork Orange".

Abstract
This paper discusses how on the surface, the two movies "Sleeper" and "A Clockwork Orange" have absolutely nothing in common. One is a comedy fraught with amusing skits, while the other lacks any such light moments and is not an easy movie to watch. However, this paper shows that both movies are unarguably political in nature, and their themes are darker than they appear to be. They deal with subjects that are at once controversial and significant. What the government tells us may not always be true, and ?politics is indeed a dirty game?, are the two important themes that emerge from "Sleeper" and "A Clockwork Orange".
From the Paper
"There is an element of deception in illustration of stories, which might make the movies appear simpler than they actually are but for regular moviegoers, it is easy to unearth the darker undertones. For some odd reason, both movies leave you with a negative feeling and a heavy heart despite Allen?s movie being a comedy. Its slapstick humor fails to remove the thick clouds of political messages that are bombarded at the viewer and similarly Clockwork Orange doesn?t even attempt to mitigate the heavy impact. It wants you to see the movie in its true light and understand the gravity of its messages."

The scenes of violence are then paired with overwhelming nausea, meaning that if Alex performs violence himself, he will become deathly ill. Alex is then released into the world, considered to be a reformed man, no longer capable of the horrors which had previously defined his life."

Abstract
This paper explains the differences between good and evil, the idea of forced moral perfection, and the question of reality as portrayed in the movie "A Clockwork Orange". The paper also summarizes the movie and analyzes some of the most important scenes .
From the Paper
"Moral freedom has been defined as the ability to perform both good and evil actions. It is possessing the ability to choose right from wrong and act the way that you alone choose to act. Without the presence of evil, one does not have the moral freedom to choose good, and vice versa. In A Clockwork Orange, Alex personifies moral freedom. Throughout the movie, Alex is never without the ability to choose between good and evil. Although the government conditions him to feel ill when he encounters violence, he does not choose this feeling, so in fact, he still has moral freedom. With Alex?s narration of the film, one can see that he tries to put the blame of his actions onto others, but, he in fact, is to blame for his actions because he alone has to make the choice between performing evil or performing good."

Abstract
This paper examines examples of operant conditioning in "A Clockwork Orange" by Anthony Burgess. The paper discusses those examples in terms of Burgess?s interpretations, as well as in relation to behavioral psychology as a whole. The paper presents Burgess's view of operant conditioning and behavioral psychology as a dangerous, deadly pursuit of sameness and control over mankind.
From the Paper
"First, it is important to discuss what is meant by conditioning. In the mid-twentieth century, psychologist B.F. Skinner, in the footsteps of such scientists as Pavlov and Watson, sought to examine ways to achieve the ideal society. According to Skinner, the way to achieve this was through the restriction of personal freedoms through behavior modification. This modification included the use of systematic rewards or punishments, and the use of those rewards and punishments with behavior association. As Skinner described, humans could be modified to act in specific ways by encouraging those behaviors through rewards. Conversely, humans could be just as easily manipulated away from given behaviors through the use of punishments. If the stimuli were presented consistently in association with any given behavior, Skinner theorized, those behaviors would become intertwined with the stimuli (Zimmer, 1999)."
