... all of you is: …each leg shall be jointed twice and have one foot, and each foot five toes, and each toe shall end with a flat nail…and any creature that shall seem to be human but is not formed thus is not human…It is a blasphemy against the true Image of God, and hateful in the sight of God. (Wyndham.13). Is this definition actually true? Not according to the Holy Bible; the real Bible. It tells us, "But I say to you, love your enemies…" (Matthew 5:44). Even if your enemies have an extra arm, toe or leg, you should still love them! Besides when you die which part of you goes to heaven and which part stays behind on earth? D ...
... would know that he was the killer of his father, therefor proving to himself that Claudius was indeed the killer, and the ghost wasn't part of his imagination. Of course then again, if he didn't have to prove it to himself, then he could have killed Claudius right away. The play did come with a success. Claudius did show his disapproval of the play, proving to Hamlet that he was the killer. Give me some light. Away! -Claudius, Act III, Scene ii 275 But this leads to Hamlet's second hesitation moment. While Claudius is trying to confess his sins, Hamlet sees a window of opportunity. He could kill Claudius with no one around and no one to witness, but Ham ...
... of the house, but with no luck. Then they decide that on Dill’s last night in Maycomb they would crawl under the fence in the back yard of the Radley place and take a peek into one of the windows. This plan backfires when Mr. Radley comes out with a shot gun and fires into the air. While running away from Mr. Radley Jem gets his pants caught while trying to get back under the fence and has to slip out of them to get away. Later that night he goes back for his pants and find them folded over the fence and roughly mended. That following winter Maycomb had its first snow since 1885. At first Scout thought that the earth was ending, she had never seen snow before. ...
... learned the lesson, and in all his after life he never forgot it. That club was a revelation. ...the lesson was driven home to Buck: a man with a club was a lawgiver, a master to be obeyed..." (London 20). Buck learned to do as his masters say. "...he grew honestly to respect them. He speedily learned that Perrault and Francois were fair men..." (London 21). Buck also learned when and how to defend himself against man. Londons depiction of Buck's struggle to learn how to survive in an unfamiliar environment has been compared to western society's struggle with encroaching communism. "“The study of Jack London's work became a mirr ...
... and movie. In the book, Bromden has flashbacks to his childhood, lighting on significant points in his childhood. His background is never even brushed upon in the movie. Of course it would have been nearly impossible to tell of Bromdens life in a movie, much less show the world from his point of view as in the book. Bromden is still a very interesting character but the real puzzle to his problems is lost. McMurphy is a very sly, cunning man. He knows how to play his game and does it well. In the book as McMurphy progresses, he goes through many stages where he is rebellious, then docile, then rebellious again. This is due to the fact that he learns exactl ...
... people are not allowed to go cavorting around killing whomever they please, if they did, civilization would fall. Laws and rules hold us to civilization. Another way to define crime is through ethics and morals. Each person on this Earth possesses a conscience; when we do something wrong, our conscience makes us feel guilty, although some people feel less or more guilt than others about certain acts; it varies individually. Based on this, one can define a crime as the things that make us feel guilty, although some crimes do not make us feel guilty. Some people do not feel any guilt when committing immoral acts; these people are deemed psychopaths or sociopaths ...
... A bias that surfaces early on, is the mention of Robert's wife, "Beulah!" The narrator exclaims, "That's a name for a colored woman." (Carver, "Cathedral," 182) Here, by attaching a stereotype to a simple name, he exhibits the precise indiscretion of a closed-minded bigot, and then eventually reaches humility through his awakening. The narrator possesses several other prejudices that also hinder his humility. Later on, for example, the narrator sees Robert for the first time and the man's appearance startles him: "This blind man, feature this," he says, "he was wearing a full beard! A beard on a blind man!" (183) Later still, the narrator reinforces h ...
... boy riddled with shame and guilt, to a young man preoccupied with himself, and finally into a gentleman with genuine concern for the well-being of those he loves. Hence, Pip’s stages of shame and guilt, self-gratification, and finally altruism make Great Expectations a novel of moral education. Although shame and guilt are often brought on by actions, it can also brought about by circumstances beyond the individual’s control. Pip’s first moral development stemmed from both such instances. His shame for Joe and himself for being common and mundane were first contrived soon after encountering Estella. Although Pip wasn’t the normal, satisfied child that o ...
... about when men will be free, when the truth exists and when what is done cannot be undone. Also, Winston thinks about Goldstein. He says how Goldstein has a lot of influence on some people. Still, the majority of the people hate and despise him. He is always the face of hate in the Two Minute Hate and everywhere else, but for some people like in The Brotherhood, he is a hero. Winston thinks about the brotherhood and wonders if it is a myth or a reality. Therefore, Winston's conversion to Party doctrine becomes obvious when he writes in his diary, and when he questions Goldstein. Secondly, by the structure of the novel, in the second part the reader b ...
... and put up with Greg using him for his telepathic gift, before finally coming into his own and running away. This is another example of Ben's submissiveness - he chose to sneak away from Greg quietly in the dead of the night, instead of a fight or a loud confrontation. He is also a humanitarian, as he cares for other animals, even when killing them. This reinforces my attitudes and views on heroes, as I believe that most true heroes are quiet, usually introverted, and do things to make the community better - often without receiving the recognition they deserve. The extroverted heroes, such as Superman, is what society expects, and because of this they often ...
