Title: Catch-22
Author: Joseph Heller

Title: Hard Times
Author: Charles Dickens
Dickens' novel follows the classical tripartite structure of novels, and the titles of each book are related to Galatians 6:7, 'For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.' The interpretation of this quote being, what ever is effected upon or done in the present will have a direct effect on what happens later. Book I is entitled 'Sowing', Book II is entitled 'Reaping', and the third is 'Garnering'. These titles are a deliberate motif used, and have to be borne in mind when reading the book and analysing its narrative and content.

Author: F. Scott Fitzgerald
The novel chronicles an era that Fitzgerald himself dubbed the Jazz Age. Following the shock and chaos of World War I, American society enjoyed unprecedented levels of prosperity during the 1920s as the economy soared.

Title: The Two Towers
Author: J.R.R. Tolkien
The first section follows the divergent paths of several important figures from The Fellowship of the Ring, but tells nothing of its central character, on whose fate so much depends, enabling the reader to share in the suspense and uncertainty of the characters themselves. The narrative of the second part returns to the hero's quest to destroy the evil that threatens the world. While the first section tells of an epic battle, the struggles in much of the second section are internal.
