.... get an early look at Steinbeck’s ideals when Muley Graves says,“…if a fella’s got somepin to eat an’ another fella’s hungry—why, the first fella ain’t got no choice.” This is something that was very true back in the past and something that most people lived by. Families could not see people starve to death when they had food to eat themselves. Although they might be starting a new life, the ideals don’t change because that is what makes an individual unique. Uncle John Joad said, “Go down an’ tell ‘em. Go down in the street an’ rot an’ .....

.... are from a British choir/academy school, and they were all wearing uniforms. The oldest was Jack Merridew, he was he was the captain of the all the boys from the academy. Then there was Maurice he was next in size in the choir. There was a very shy boy who no one really knew. He kept his distance from everyone. Later in the book we find out that his name is Roger. Then all of their other names were Bill, Robert, Harold, Henry, Samneric and Simon. In the film the boys build an elaborate shelter that is almost prepostorous to build if you look at it carefully. Althogh, it is very helpful for the boys. The boys then search the island .....

.... is a trial, in which Atticus is the defendant's lawyer, against a black man who has been falsely accused of raping a white woman. Atticus does his best to prove Tom Robinson's innocence, to a degree where any objective jury would surely have found him not guilty, but it sentences him to death, as it is expected to do by the general populace. Prior to the trial, Scout and Jem are mocked by other children at school, which have been told by their parents that Atticus will defend the offending black man. Simply bearing this, as Atticus tells them to, instead of retaliating it physically, which would have been a much more childlike .....

.... pride and dignity. Hester knew that what was done in the past was wrong and that the scarlet A was the right thing to do, therefor it is worn with a sense of pride. The child, Pearl, is "a blessing and as a reminder of her sin." As if the scarlet A were not enough punishment there "was a brat of that hellish breed" which would remind Hester of what happened in the past. The "brat" could have been given away to Governor Bellingham yet Hester proclaimed that Pearl "is my happiness!...Ye shall not take her! I will die first!" Not a person in Boston, nor Hester herself thought highly of the little child and Hester refused t .....

.... cliché of a line in Robert Burns’ poem where he writes that “the best-laid schemes o’ mice an’ men gang aft agley.” Their dream seemed it would become a success until a tragic event brought failure. The novel brings about the question of whether or not human life has a purpose. The reader may ask himself if a person’s purpose in life is only to kill and be killed. One may question if Lennie’s character had a purpose in life. Some may say that because of Lennie’s inadequacies and inability to survive that he had no purpose in life. On the other hand, many believe that God put every one of his children on this Ea .....

.... and everyone else follows. He sees that people feel the need to conform for acceptance and this annoys him. In his story he also cites the time of which “Earthlings discovered tools”, referring to guns. Trout points out that the “tools” only purpose is “to make holes in human beings”, this seeming extremely ridiculous to him. Realizing all of this bothers Trout immensely and puts him in a bitter state. Kilgore Trout proceeds in watching the actions of humans. He realizes that he is no longer innocent, “ his head is no longer just sheltered ideas.” Trout sees things for .....

.... rejects” that can only lead to destroy the system. The conditioning process itself is also a good example of how innovation and “progress” can lead to the destruction of man. John got this in his belief that everyone, no matter how old, was an infant because of the conditioning systems. To truly mature, he thought, one must face suffering and constant cleansing (leading him to his time at the lighthouse). The acceptance and use of the notion that society should be organized by the pleasures of the people is preposterous in that by only living for simple physical pleasure at whatever moment in time it .....

.... with out her coming straight out and saying it. Once again we jump ahead in the story to her waiting on the letter. Edie says, “The mail came everyday except Sunday, between one-thirty and two in the afternoon, a good time for me. Because Mrs. Peebles was always having her nap. I would get my kitchen cleaned and then go up to the mail box and sit in the grass, waiting.” In those few sentences we can figure out that she was very eager to hear from Chris. There is another insight to her feelings without saying it (p. 733). I was perfectly happy waiting. But as you read on, her feelings of waiting change. She goes from smiling .....

.... again? What if today I borrowed a thousand crowns, and you squandered them over Christmas week.’ On the rare occasion when Torvald gives her money, he is concerned that she will waste it on candy and pastry. Nora asks Torvald what her most sacred vows are and he responds ‘And I have to tell you that! Aren’t they duties to your husband and children?’ Later on he states Before all else, you’re a wife and mother. Torvald states that her sacrifice for him was nothing. He states on page 1611 ‘I’d gladly work day and night, Nora, and take on pain and deprivation. But there’s no one wh .....

.... by his indiscriminate choice of victims. These victims range from a police officer to an innocent black man looking out his window, to several citizens who try to put an end to his madness. This conflict is stopped when the mob catches up to him, and he surrenders in soldier-like fashion. The hint of the conflict lingers, however, when the mob leader brags about killing “a big one.” The third and most interesting and complex type of conflict in this story is the intrapersonal conflict within Dick. He shows two very distinct sides which seem to intertwine at times. In the early going, he is portrayed as friendly and po .....
