Title: Symbolism In Camus' "The Plague"
Details: Words: 304, Pages: 2... connect the characters,
symbolism, and my personal feelings and values with this idea. Such evidence as
people being good to a neighbor in time of need or people volunteering to adopt
a family for the holidays are many times based on a desire to simply do
something good, not a necessarily a desire to please a god or receive a reward.
Finally, without a god (or even with a god for that matter) Camus says

My personal beliefs as far as greatness are concerned are not very complicated. When I think of someone who is or was great, I think of Jackie Robinson, Louis Armstrong, and Albert Einstein. These are all people who affected the way we live and have changed our society as a whole for the better. My parents are great; my teachers are great, and my coaches are great. All of those people have a lot of influence directly over me and they are always changing me for the better. A truly great person has to make sacrifices and be very brave.

masters in order to conform. If Buck continues his stealthy work he will
survive. A second example occurs when Thorton owns Buck, and Spitz, the lead
dog, constantly watches the team in a dominant manner. Buck, if insubordinate,
runs the risk of death. He lays low, learning Spitz's every tactic. Buck
adapts to circumstances until finally he strikes against Spitz in a fight for
the dominant position. By killing Spitz, he gains a supreme air, and in turn
an adaptation against the law of the fang. A third example surfaces during
