.... at ease, and not to be in pain. When Robinson owned his own plantation he only produced the quantity he needed to survive. That fact coincides with Rousseau's idea of the savage man, but after two years Robinson produces a larger quantity to sell for profit. This course of action can be associated with capitalism and being prepared for the future. This is not what the "savage man" in Rousseau's discourses is associated with. Instead he is concerned with what is necessary for survival and repose at his present state of being. As with the plantation, Robinson makes preparat .....

.... written how she had mixed feelings; she was sad that Charlie was becoming retarded again, but at the same time wanted to have Charlie at her own level again, even if for only a short time. If the people from the bakery had been telling Flowers For Algernon, then they would have written about how Charlie had gone from being retarded to being a genius in just a few weeks. They hadn’t been told about the surgery. They probably would have said how they thought something really weird was going on. If someone else had been narrating Flowers for Algernon, the story cou .....

.... and everyone feels secure with their place in society. By abolishing money and private property, More would rid society of greed and social ambition. Most of all, he wants to curtail pride, the evil he believes is at the root of all evils -- "the infernal serpent that steals into the hearts of men, thwarting and holding them back from choosing the better way of life." Likewise, in Aldus Huxley’s Brave New World, crime and greed have been eliminated and everybody is satisfied with their social status. This similarity between the two novels suggests that the authors may have se .....

.... the way it did was unfair. Now, I've read enough essays while deciding which would be the topic for my class presentation that I know many people see that the unfairness of life and the insignificance of our free will are apparently the most important themes in the book, but I don't agree. I also don't agree that it is a war story or a love story. Exactly what it is, though, is not clear to me. Can't art exist without being anything? "There isn't always an explanation for everything." War and love are obviously important themes in the book, and the relationship between the tw .....

.... no action was taken and instinctively escaped detainment. "I looked at the carabineri, they were looking at the newcomers. The others were looking a the colchel. I ducked down, pushed between two men, and ran for the river, my head down. I tripped at the edge and went in with a splash" (Hemingway, 214). Henry witnessed the gruesome executions of the officers before him and knew he was not going to die without a fight to preserve his precious existence. Being a man of action rather than words, was the determining factor which helped him survive this unfortunate confrontatio .....

.... through the trial of Tom Robinson that racism is unjust. As the story progresses you learn the hate put onto a man solely due to his color. Through a wise, just, man, Atticus, you learn that hate should never be brought onto anyone. Prejudice is another example in which hate should not be brought forth in. To Kill a Mockingbird demonstrates prejudice through Boo Radley. Boo shows us that thoughts can be brought onto a person, just because they are different. People believe that he is a crazy man, due to the fact that he never goes outside. The truth is that he is real .....

.... were also gang members and Ponyboy's friends. This story deals with two forms of social classes: the socs, the rich kids, and the greasers, the poor kids. The socs go around looking for trouble and greasers to beat up, and then the greasers are blamed for it, because they are poor and cannot affect the authorities. The first conflict that you see in the novel is when one day Ponyboy and Johnny, (Ponyboy's best friend), get jumped by a group of Socs. The Socs start to drown Ponyboy in a fountain. Johnny, realizing they might kill Ponyboy, kills Bob, one of the Socs with his swi .....
