.... not go for their full life but for a couple of years. When they do get out of prison they are still in the mafia. The only thing they learn from being in prison is to cover their tracks up better. People should pay for what they do and be punished properly. For example, if a man rapes a woman he should be castrated. This way people would have fear and not commit crimes. Torture is also a better punishment rather then death. When a person dies they don't pay for what they have done, they simply die. When they live with pain, they pay for it. For example, a person wh .....

.... your every move, controlling the minds and thoughts of the people." (page 6). To the corrupted government, physical control is not good enough, however. The only way to completely eliminate physical opposition is to first eliminate any mental opposition. The government is trying to control our minds, as it says "thought crime does not entail death; thought crime is death." (page 27).

.... Sometimes I wonder about Harding and Martini. How are they doing now? Maybe I should go back and visit them. Hesitantly, he dialed the phone. A sexy woman's voice melted through the phone. "Hello, who is this?" "Hello, may I speak to Mr. Harding?" He choked a little with nervousness. The woman's voice suddenly transformed with harshness. "Who's that?...

There was a shock and a pause. "Died? .....

A positive mood was foreshadowed when Jane described the weather as, “The chamber looked such a bright little place to me as the sun shone in between the gay blue chintz window and carpeted floor, so unlike the bare planks and strained plaster of Lowood, that my spirit rose at the view” (90). Thus, this not only foreshadowed the positive mood of Jane, but also the experience she’ll have in the near future .....

.... to record anything (109); a duty which Rieux and Tarrou fulfill. Grand produces two sentences and does nothing to fight the plague, which McCarthy interprets as a parody of Rieux's inability to explain the plague (109-10). Cottard wholeheartedly embraces the plague, revels in it, and attempts to profit from it. The rest of the people either waste their time, waiting for the end (the old man spitting on the cats, the bean-counter, etc.) or join the sanitation squad, under Tarrou. Nobody takes a stand and resists death except Rieux and Tarrou. Rieux and Tarrou do seem to .....
