... flesh. This proves he still has his humanity in him. Jack begins to lose his civilized ways when a little boy introduces fear into the group, by telling them he saw a really big snake that comes out in the dark. Jack rallies the boys into the idea that they will kill the snake. Once Jack kills a pig for the first time, he becomes obsessed with hunting. All Jack can think about is killing a pig. He begins to show even more evil and irresponsibility when he puts clay and charcoal on his face to make himself camouflaged in order to kill a pig. Jack leads the hunters in a chant, "Kill the pig. Cut her throat. Spill her blood" (LoF 69). Critic, Frederick R. Kar ...

... Holden’s problem is with his heart. It was broken when his brother died. Now Holden goes around the world as his fake self, wearing his mask. Holden is looking for love, peace and understanding.

... witches, that he begins to desire the throne, but he still needs Lady Macbeth to convince him to commit the murder, when he questions the consenquences and asks "If we should fail?"(I,vi,59). Lady Macbeth comes back with a quick answear "We fail', But screw your courage to the sticking-place And we'll not fail."(I,vi,60-61), what shes saying is that if he stops being afraid and pulls himself togehter they will not fail. When Macbeth hears the prophesies of his future, he appears to disregard them, but when he is made Thane of Cawdor (as foretold by the witches), he already is thinking about killing the king when he says these words to himself "The Prince o ...

... him by incorporating all together, the wonders of nature, his past experiences, and his present mature perception of life. Wordsworth begins his poem by describing the landscape of the abbey as unchanged during the past five years. He emphasizes the lapse of time by stating, “ again I hear”, “again do I behold”, and “again I see”. He seemed to be overwhelmed with emotions that he, though up on a very far away cliff, was certain that a hermit was in his cave sitting by the fire alone. Wordsworth wanted so much to remember the place that he was allowing his perception of the past take over his present reality. More importantl ...

... alone were enough to make his punishment logical. In the bible it says those who denounce the name of Christ shall never be saved. Selling your soul to the devil shows you have no concept of God or his goodness. Faustus’s definitely deserved what he got. Faustus’s definitely had few values. Anyone who will just openly sell their soul to the devil probably doesn’t have any concept of values. First of all Faustus refused to believe any religion. If a person has nothing to believe in for guidance how can they have values. Secondly , when he does get his magic from the devil he torments the Pope. Anyone with values would not do that. The presence of values had nothing ...

... their reason, the less likely they are to find happiness. Kate Chopin's character Edna tries her entire life to fit in the prescribed mold of the women of her time. She invests so much time into duty and responsibility that she loses any happiness that she could hope to achieve. With time, Kant noted, the person who devotes their life to reason finds themselves needing a release, in the end despising reason, and eventually pursuing only their true happiness. After being "reasonable" for the twenty-eight years of her life, Edna breaks down. She wants to pursue love and disregard her duty to her husband and children. She falls in what she consider ...

... scheme with previous accounts of success by gentlemen in America and other parts of the world. This shows that his idea is creditable because it has worked on previous occasions. This wondrous idea has so many benefits that it’s hard to see how anyone would be so close-minded to disagree. For instance, poor tenants would have something of value which could help them pay rent and also it would greatly increase the sales at taverns where the cooks would strive to find the best recipes for their new delicacy. Finally it would be a great advantage to those getting married, where as they could sell their children for profit ( with the children’s be ...

... he was innocent, and treated the case no differently. Similar to Atticus, Boo Radley did not correspond with his society. Also, unlike the public he didn’t gossip. Primarily he was what the townspeople talked about. In addition opposed to every other character cited he does not go to church. Instead he spends his time inside his house. Heck Tate is also his own individual. After learning Boo Radley killed Bob Ewell, Heck Tate has a right as sheriff to take him into custody. Despite Atticus’s demand he does not. He knows the town does not need anymore gossip, and claims Bob Ewell fell on his knife. If he had followed the beliefs of the town ...

... era. She is from an upper class where family name is venerated and is to be maintained at almost any cost. Faulkner emphasizes this many times by saying “She carried her head high enough... as if she demanded more than ever the recognition of her dignity as the last Grierson.”(469) and “...and the high and mighty Griersons.”(467) In the end of the story officials do not pursue her lover’s disappearance for the exact reason that they do not force her to pay taxes which is also the reason Emily does not rebel against her father and his wishes. This is all due to the fact that she is a Grierson. Faulkner also states that “n ...

... in their political, social, and economic spheres as they went from one extreme to another. The old Czarist government was always out to serve the rich landowners, while treating the peasantry as second-class humans rather than equals. However, when the Russian Revolution came to a head, and the Red Communists or Bolsheviks defeated the White Czarists, Russia was left with an entirely new system of thought in its government. This ideology viewed the working class and peasantry as the main citizens in their society, while the rich landowners were not nearly as powerful as they once were. Thus the workers of Magnitogorsk held a very important position as they had the ...
