    The town was destroyed and many of the residents were sold into slavery and various rebellions occurred in the following years. Nevertheless, the blame cannot all be placed on the community members alone. According to Yangming, “the government failed the citizens by not properly teaching them in addition to a lack of families regulating themselves or exerting good influence on their fellow villagers.” This compact also shows Yangming’s fondness of Confucian ideals by giving community members a list of guidelines they must follow in order to improve society as a whole.

    Yann Martel’s novel, Life of Pi, is an inspirational story of a young boy fighting for his life as a castaway with the company of a Bengal tiger. Through his religious beliefs and perseverance he is able to survive, but with great difficulty. In an allegorical sense, this story is brilliant. Pi recreates his story using animals to metaphorically represent the humans who were in his treacherous, archetypal journey because it appeals to everyone more than the frank and straightforward story. Attraction to this allegory proves the deeper point that life is meaningless without believing in the beauty and art of the quest at hand.…

Docile but violent He would also be considered dynamic because he is a traditional religious man in the beginning of the story, and then he turns into a radical religious murderer, killing people on the basis to start the Judgment Day.
