         <description><![CDATA[<div>Throughout Bret Easton Ellis's novel, American Psycho, the main character, Patrick Bateman, is characterized as a handsome, rich, psychotic murderer living in New York City. Ellis's novel captures a view of "seething emotions", "acerbic" language, and a sometimes "dazed and confused" era of human life during the late 1980s through Bateman's deranged beliefs and murderous actions committed in the novel, ultimately revealing that it is the norm for one to have unacceptable thoughts and urges but without acting upon them as a social norm, unlike Bateman who acts on his uncontrollable urges, including murder and drugs.<br><br>You can begin a new sentence after "committed in the novel"...</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In "American Psycho" by Brett Easton Ellis, the wealthy characters, mainly Patrick Bateman portrays the startling affects of a stratified social system. The setting of modern New York City is faced with societal issues because of the stark contrast in the materialistic upper class and helpless poor. The egocentric attitude Patrick Bateman and his friends share lead them to mock the dispise the poor while even retaining individualist views in the presence of peers. Brett Easton Ellis reveals the affects of a selfish individualist society as compromiseing to the functionality of both the individuals themselves and, the society they are apart of through unexplainable aggression, realistic and vulgure language and states of psychotic extremes, completely compromise the functionality of both the individuals themselves and the society they are apart of. <br><br>Omit quotes from title.  Underline novel titles when you write. Your last clause beginning with "completely compromise" is unparallel with the previous part of the sentence.  You have a couple of extra words not needed.</div>]]></description>

The novel features the telling of Earnshaw family's life, focusing on Catherine, Heathcliff, and their legacy.

Author Yann Martel effectively conveys the necessity of Pi's moral development in the "Life of Pi" through displaying the ferocity of a bengal tiger on an unexpecting helpless goat presented by the Indian boy's father in order to shape Pi's societal views and overall understanding of the world - the affect parental lessons have on a child's life.&nbsp;<br><br>Thesis is wordy; Titles are underlined, but on here you can't but delete the quotation marks.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In Bret Easton Ellis' "American Psycho," Patrick Bateman, a wealthy, handsome man living in the late 1980's New York City, is actually a mass murderer who struggles to oppress his sporadic, dark thoughts. Ellis demonstrates a human's "seething emotions" and "acerbic" language through the murderous, cynical thinking and sardonic comments of Bateman who unlike the majority of people bounded by their morals, turns his dangerous emotions and thoughts into violent actions; although normal people occasionally suffer from negative and selfish thoughts similar to Bateman's, it is essential to not let such harmful thinking dictate one's own actions or person which Bateman failed to do for himself.<br><br>New sentence after "actions" beginning with although--semicolon makes it too bulky</div>]]></description>
