... me for help. I start saying, "First, we all need to make tents to sleep in so everyone would have there own privacy and shelter. Next, to make some bonfires for warmth and in hopes of passing ships seeing it. I will send out a bunch of people to find food, good sleeping grounds, and high hills good for fires. Then set up posts so that people could watch out for passing ships. We can ration the food and everyone's belongings because there's no telling how long we all could be stranded. Everyone who has glasses, take out your lenses to facilitate starting fires. Pig, fish, and whatever else anybody can salvage off this deserted island will be divided up e ...

... be "formed." Much of Skinner's argument on how to eliminate what he knows as problematic rests on his prescription of dismissing the notion of individual freedom. Skinner does not only say that the concept of individual freedom is a farce. He takes it a step further and states that the search for it is where society has gone wrong. He wants no part in the quest for individual freedom. If we give up this illusion, says Skinner, we can condition everyone to act in acceptable ways. Skinner has a specific prescription for creating this utopian society. He declares that all that is necessary is to change the conditions which surround man. "Give me the specifi ...

... ending. I felt like I was sitting right there on the clouds watching all of this take place. Bradbury pulls you into the book and makes it "our place, too." All of this starts off quite interesting. It is October, the month of Halloween, and in this strange year Halloween came early. A lightning rod salesman, come to the town predicting a humongous storm that is coming this way. The clouds speak their own words, telling the same.

... the subject of the beast, to be planted in the boys’ minds. The little boy, with the help of Piggy, who encourages him to speak and interprets what he is saying, tells the assembly of boys that he is scared of ‘a snake-thing’. He believes that the beast turns into one of the jungle creepers during the day but becomes a snake or ‘beastie’ at nightfall. Although he tries to comfort the boy, Ralph appears to feel that this is just another childish fear, like a fear of the dark. But towards the end of this scenario, he attempts to dismiss the idea, which will cause the boys, at such an early stage, to feel any anxiety on the island. ̶ ...

... were he was. As the story went on the colors of the conch began to change. It changed, as the boys grew farther apart. When Jack’s troops split off from the rest of the boys it had become more of a white color a little more brittle than it had been when they first found it. It still had the power over the boys though they still listened to the person who was holding the shell. By the time Piggy was killed though the conch had changed to a bleached color though, and was very brittle. When Piggy died the conch went with him it shattered into hundreds of pieces.

... books, but returned a crusader who lived to save them. "It was a pleasure to burn. It was a special pleasure to see things eaten, to see things blackened and changed. With the brass nozzle in his fists, with this great python spouting its venomous kerosene upon the world, the blood pounded in his head, and his hands were the hands of an amazing conductor playing all the symphonies of blazing and burning to bring down the tatters of history. With his symbolic helmet numbered 451 on his stolid head, and his eyes all orange flame with the thought of what came next, he flicked the igniter and the house jumped up in a gorging fire that burned the evening sky red an ...

... the story. Throughout the novel, flashbacks are inserted, courtesy of Nick, to reveal piece by piece about the mysterious Gatsby. Nick patches the pieces of the puzzle together regarding Gatsby's past and lack of a future. Nick is like the box of a puzzle; the puzzle is impossible to put together without it. Without Nick, the reader's opinion of Gatsby would be drastically different. The reader's opinion would be swayed by the idea that Gatsby becomes rich via bootlegging alcohol and counterfeiting bonds. Nick persuades the observer that Gatsby is "…worth the whole damn bunch (rich class) put together"(162). Even though Gatsby aspires to be part of the upp ...

... of their holes”. This shows us that the common people were undergoing subhuman conditions while the aristocracy was living life in luxury. The reader begins to hate the aristocracy when Dickens shows how the aristocracy exploited the common people. We see this in Dicken’s portrayal of Marquis St Evermonde. This aristocrat shows selfishness and dominance over the common people of France. He has no respect for the common people. This is apparent when he cold hartedly runs over an innocent child with his carriage. After he runs the child over, he does not stop his carriage, he throws a coin to the child’s parent, thinking that the coin is make up for the child’s life. ...

... novel as reflections of Twain’s own beliefs supporting slavery. These claims, though, can be easily repudiated by some of Twain’s comparisons between whites and blacks made outside of Huck Finn; for instance when he said, “One of my theories is that the hearts of men are all alike, all over the world, whatever their skin complexion may be”. This brings into question the reason for Twain’s frequent use of the word “nigger”, not to mention the exceedingly racist views harbored by most characters. It is true that the book is peppered with racist stereotypes, lewd remarks belittling blacks, and the use of the word “nigger” over 200 times, but it is all part of the irony ...
