.... the fact that we are all self-serving. His theory notes that humans are essentially equal, both mentally and physically, so that even the weakest person has the strength to kill the strongest (p.44). Given our equal standing, Hobbes believes that there are three natural causes of quarrel among people: competition for limited supplies of material possessions, distrust of one another, and glory so that people remain hostile to preserve their reputation. With these natural causes of quarrel, Hobbes concludes that the natural condition of humans is a state of perpetual war of all against all, where no morality exists, and everyone .....

.... weird ways. When Miss Sarah Pocket asked her how well she look she said "I do not, I am yellow shin and bone."1 She started arguing with Camilla and both would make insults to each other. Miss Havisham asked Camila what was the matter and Camilla said "Nothing worth mentioning, I don't wish to make a display of my feelings, but I have habitually thought of you more in the night than I am quite equal to."2 All Miss Havisham would say is "Then don't think of me."3 Miss Havisham also told them quote "This, is where I will be laid when I am dead. They shall come and look at me here."4 She said this because she treated her relat .....

.... Mr. Cassidy is that money does not buy happiness, but it buys off unhappiness. His interaction with Marion was brief but very vital to the next turn of events. Mr. Cassidy asked Marion point blank if she was unhappy. Her reply “not inordinately” shows that she is not completely happy with her life(Hitchcock). The major source of her unhappiness is the fact that she can not marry her beloved Sam until he gets his feet on the ground financially. She then takes Mr. Cassidy’s advice on using money to buy off her unhappiness by stealing his money. Marion never makes a clear-cut decision. Packing her suitcase su .....

.... Walter is, in good reason, very angry and annoyed by the racist whites. He goes over and at first tries his best to stay calm over the situation. The white father then says, "Listen, if I ever see your son with mine, I will througth that little black spoiled brat back into your yard." Walter becomes enraged and hits the man directly in the face as hard as he can. This brings an upraw amongst the Youngers and the entire community. Thus bringing the whites, even those who weren't before, totally against the Younger family. After the eventual calming down of the community and the lowering of racial tensions of the blacks against t .....

.... (know as littl'uns) lose interest in their tasks; the older boys want to spend more time hunting than carrying out more routine duties, such as keeping the signal fire on the top of the mountain going, and building shelters. A rumor spreads that a "beast" of some sort is lurking in the forest, and the children have nightmares. Jack, (A ruthless, power-hungry person), promising to fulfil the children's desire for a reversion to the ways of primitivism, is chosen as the new leader, and the society splits into two sections: those who want to hunt and soon become savages, and those who believe in rational conduct, and a .....

.... an element of autobiography-and this can hardly be denied, since the creator can only explain himself in his creations."(Kimbrough,158) The story is written as seen through Marlow's eyes. Marlow is a follower of the sea. His voyage up the Congo is his first experience in freshwater navigation. He is used as a tool, so to speak, in order for Conrad to enter the story and tell it out of his own philosophical mind. He longs to see Kurtz, in the hope's of appreciating all that Kurtz finds endearing in the African jungle. Marlow does not get the opportunity to see Kurtz until he is so disease-stricken he looks more like de .....

.... this is how the rest of this is organized: chronologically. Paul and his friends started to lose their innocence the day they enlisted after their school days. In school their master, Kantorek pounded into them an idea that they are men and are obligated to do their duty for the country of Germany. Kantoreks blind patriotism led all the boys, none more than twenty to enlist. He sends them off thinking he did Germany proud but at that expense he had sent the students to a hell on earth. Kantorek called them Germany’s iron youth, but Paul said “none of us more than twenty years old. But young? Youth? That was long ago. .....

.... by, and the soldiers were dying quickly. The commanding officers felt it was best to convince young men to enter the war to support and fight for their country. They were not told whom they were really fighting for, or the cause. In Paul’s case, Germany was under attack from many sides, and it was best for him to head for the front lines and defend his fatherland. Paul was almost “brainwashed” and was completely convinced that he was doing the right thing. “Once it was different. When we went to the district commandant to enlist, we were a class of twenty young men, many of whom proudly shaved for the .....

.... are let out and this has no effect on the crowd at hand. Being one of the stoners, you are unwilling to recognize the screams of pain and the sights of blood. This sacrifice ensures the town’s economic success and their ability to feed the families. Crops are the lives of these families and if they fail there may not be enough food to feed this small town. Killing one person a year to theoretically save the lives of three hundred people does not seem that bad. Sure the town’s people may follow this cruel tradition blindly, but how are they to know if the sacrifice is actually saving their crops or not? They .....

.... s murder (Hazlitt 11). Hazlitt noted that in this statement: "...and from the superstitious awe and breathless suspense into which the communications of the Weird Sisters throw him, is hurried on with daring impatience to verify their predictions (Hazlitt 11). This quote shows that the witches have control over Macbeth, since he is thrown into their world and pushed on to verify their predictions . Before heading to the very known area, let us explore a different point of view. Did the Weird Sisters really know that he was going to become king, or were they just playing with his mind? Now that is a very strong c .....
