In The Egypt Game, how does Elizabeth respond to the Egypt Game?

Elizabeth is introduced to readers about a
third of the way through the book.  April and Melanie are tasked with making her feel welcome.
 They agree to the task, but they do not agree to share their Egypt Game with her . . . yet.
 April and Melanie decide to do their own vetting process in order to make sure that Elizabeth
can be brought in on their secret game.  Elizabeth wins them over, and the bonus is that she
looks like Nefertiti too.  

When April and Melanie tell Elizabeth about the
Egypt Game, Elizabeth is super positive about the entire thing.  She doesn't scoff at it or
anything like that.  She just jumps right in.  Best of all, she immediately begins playing
within the rules already established.  She doesn't try to change anything about the Game.
 

Elizabeth turned out to be just what the Egypt Game
needed to make it perfect. Of course, she didnt have many ideas; but then, she was younger and
hadnt had a chance to learn much about ancient history. Besides, April and Melanie had almost
more ideas than they could use anyway. Elizabeth helped in other ways.

She
was just crazy about every part of the Egypt Game, and she was full of admiring
comments.

In 1984, what happened to Syme? How is his fate connected to the secret O'Brien reveals to Winston and Julia?

After having
a conversation in the canteen with Syme,has a flash of insight in which he realizes Syme will be
vaporized because he's too intelligent. Their canteen conversation had been about the Newspeak
dictionary Syme was working on. Syme had waxed enthusiastic about reducing the number of words
in the language to the fewest possible. Syme had grasped that reducing people's vocabulary to a
bare minimum reduced people's capacity to have subversive thoughts, and he talked about this
knowledge openly with another person. In other words, he grasped the big picture in a way that
violated the rules of doublethink, in which he was both to know and simultaneously remain
unaware of what he was doing. Syme ends up disappearing, almost certainly vaporized.  ,
apparently aware that Winston has talked to Syme, uses a mention of this "friend" of
Winston's (since Syme has been vaporized O'Brien can't use his name) to suggest to Winston that
he, O'Brien, might be a conspirator against the regime. 

O'Brien reveals a
secret when he gives Winston a copy of The Book, laying bare the logic of Oligarchic
Collectivism. The Book confirms what Syme had said about dumbing down the language: The Book
reveals the importance of crimestop, or stopping any subversive thought before it can even
occur. Syme clearly did not practice crimestop and, like Winston after reading The Book, he knew
too much to be allowed to continue unchecked. 

Discuss the theme of the demise of a traditional way of life in Pollock's Walsh.

The theme
of the demise of a traditional way of life, as seen in Pollock's Walsh,
pertains primarily to the Native Americans of the U.S., as well as the
indigenous tribes of Canada, (though Walsh also experiences it).

At the start of Act One, Walsh is studying the contents of supplies shipped to Fort
Walsh. The boxes are filled with farming "implements." Walsh, who knows the tribal
people of Canada better than the British government that rules the territory, recognizes this as
a waste of resources:

Are you telling me, man, that once
again the government has seen fit to burden me and the natives of these parts with another load
of seed and equipment to rot and rust when they know...because I've told them time and again,
that these Indians are not, and will never be, farmers!

The British government is trying to make the Indians self-sufficient, but the reader
does not get the sense that it is for the best interest of the native population, but
more so the government does not need to feed
them....

What happens before and after "Two Minutes Hate" in 1984?

The
Two Minutes Hate is a pivotal moment in
Part One in that the reader begins to understand the
inner desires of the
main character.  Before the emotional outburst of hate which is designed to

unify the party members in their love of Big Brother and hate for Emmanuel Goldstein, a
symbol
for all that is against Big Brother, Winston has

In your opinion, does Curley's Wife from Of Mice and Men suffer from oppression because she is a woman?

Curley's wife
does indeed suffer from oppression and discrimination because of her gender.  Being the only
female character in the novel, she represents "the other", much like Crooks, the
stable buck.  She is excluded from the company of others because the hired hands fear reprisal
from her jealous and domineering husband.  In order to make it easier to dismiss her, the men
call her "Curley's Wife", thus dehumanizing her, reducing her to a mere possession. 
Also, because she is young and attractive, the men label her a "tart" and
"jailbait", which is a stereotype that the men place on her and also justifies their
rejection of her.

Irony In Animal Farm

This
answer will address situational . is rife with situational irony: the
whole book is framed around the sad irony that a well-intentioned "revolution"
intended to bring about equality and a better life for the animals ends by recreating the same
inequalities and tyranny that provoked it in the first place. Let us look at one especially
powerful example of situational irony...

This example is when , the old horse
who has worked hard for Animal Farm, is sent to the knacker to be euthanized. This tragic end is
especially poignant and ironic because , in his speech to the animals at the beginning of the
book, has warned Boxer that "the very day that those great muscles of yours lose their
power, Jones will sell you to the knacker, who will cut your throat and boil you down for the
foxhounds" (9). The animals undertook their uprising to avoid exactly this kind of fate for
themselves, but in the end, it is , now in power as a result of the uprising, who sends Boxer to
the knacker. This is only one example of situational irony, but it is especially important
because it illustrates the central irony of the book. Through their leadership of the creation
of Animal Farm, the pigs have become as cruel and exploitative as the humans they replaced. By
the end of the book, the animals cannot even distinguish them from men at all. Boxer, among the
most loyal and hardworking of all the animals, is an ironic victim of this corrupted would-be
utopia.
