.... courage when he shot the dog. He showed courage in not fighting when it seemed to be the only thing to do. But, first and foremost, he showed courage in taking the Robinson case. Because “even though you're beaten 100 years before you started is no reason not to do something”. This is one of the things that Atticus lives by. Scout also has courage, but in a different way. She has shown courage in many situations, such as when she has stood up for her brother, and also when she hasn't. Overall, Scout has just as much courage as any of the adults, but it is the courage of a child. Tom Robinson is different from any of the ot .....

.... and citizens of Russia are pressured to work long strenuous hours for little or no food or money. Both Mr. Jones and Nicholas II were kicked out of power by their subjects because they were persuaded by inspirational speakers, Old Major and Carl Marx, to rebel because they deserved better.

.... many institutions. In Good as Gold it is the White House and government as a whole, and in Catch-22 it is the military and medical institutions. In Catch-22 the military is heavily satirized. Heller does this by criticizing it. Karl agrees with this statement by offering an example of the satire of both the military and civilian institutions in Catch-22: The influence of mail clerk Wintergreen, the computer foul-up that promotes Major Major, and the petty rivalries among officers satirizes the communication failures and the cut-throat competition Heller saw within b .....

.... removed from society, any group would attempt to mimic that which they had previously become accustomed to. Also, the platform becomes the designated meeting area for the boys, and they are told to come to this platform whenever they hear the conch. Just like with a school bell, they are to report to wherever they need to be when the sound is heard. In order to protect themselves from the elements, the boys also construct several huts. Once this mock-society is established, the boys attempt to accept the society they have built. However, as time passes, and the boys go longer without adult influences, their personal def .....

.... Kafka made his character, Gregor, transform into an insect in the story. Nobody wants to associate themselves with an insect, which is a lowly creature, a pest, or nuisance. This symbolizes Kafka’s depression and his poor self image. Since his family treats the insect like an outcast, that must be how Franz felt about the treatment that his own family gave him. It showed the control that his father put on him. He was not allowed to leave his room. Gregor’s parents were so afraid to take him out of the house, because he was the family secret, and they thought that would bring shame and ruin the family. Gregor’ .....

.... the famous biblical “eye for an eye” concept seems to be society's manner with which we punish criminals. This is an interesting case though, because corporations don't simply have one individual they can place the blame upon. Rather, they are comprised of hundreds or even thousands of people, and therefore there is no extensive punishment prosecutors can place upon everybody who is employed by a corporation. In a famous case in Indiana involving Ford Pinto whose “cost benefit analysis regarding the redesign of the gas tank on the Pinto” cost a person his life. The firm ended up paying $200,000, but how can you place a p .....

.... of a will and is "going to bend over backwards" for her grandson and will do whatever it takes to make sure that her grandson is healthy until she can not any longer. Another thing is the doctors and nurses know about the condition of her grandson and did nothing to help other than give her some medicine and sent her on her way. This was just one description of the lack of respect that was present in her society. In our society, were are taught always to respect our elders and help them in any way that we can. Why was there none shown for Phoenix? "She carried a thin, small cane made from an umbrella, and with this she kept tapp .....

.... This disturbance leads him to a restless night and which he is haunted by the image of his creation. The next day, Victor sees his friend Henry Clerval and when he brings Henry back to his apartment, he discovers that the creature has disappeared. At this moment, Victor falls into a sickness that leaves him weak for a few months with Henry to aid him. When Victor first thought of the creature, he had good intentions.

In my opinion, I feel that these were good reasons to make his creature because he was not only thinking .....

.... body than rescuing his live one from Pap. This is a society that is more concerned about a dead body than it is in the welfare of living people. The theme becomes even more evident once Huck and Jim set out, down the Mississippi. Huck enjoys his adventures on the raft. He prefers the freedom of the wilderness to the restrictions of society. Also, Huck's acceptance of Jim is a total defiance of society. Ironically, Huck believes he is committing a sin by going against society and protecting Jim. He does not realize that his own instincts are more morally correct than those of society'. In chapter sixteen, .....
