    This quote was spoken by Faber when Montag arrived at his house with the Bible. Faber said this because he wanted to express his guilt to Montag that he recognized the unfairness of society, but did nothing in order to save himself. The quote is important because it shows that Faber is ashamed of his inability to act against society. The quote shows the reader that society is unforgiving and can even cause revolutionary thinkers like Faber to cower down in fear. Later in the book, Faber says that when the structure was set to burn books, he grunted a few times and subsided, for there were no others grunting with him. This shows the reader that if Faber had support, he might be willing to work with that person to rebel against society. Faber also explains that in the years he lived alone, he invented a green metal object that acts as a radio receiver and waited for someone to…

    1. ” ’But the Director’s old; lots of people are old; they’re not like that.’ ‘That’s because we don’t allow them to be like that. We preserve them from diseases. We keep their internal secretions artificially balanced at a youthful equilibrium...’“ (Huxley 110-111). In this excerpt it can be determined that Lenina is incapable of acknowledging the fact that people can appear physically aged. This is due to the reason that the World State does not allow it to happen through a series of scientific methods, which is meant to benefit the society.…

    While reading the book Night, I asked myself why are people were afraid of death. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, who is a Swiss-American psychiatrist, a pioneer in near-death studies, and the author of On Death and Dying, states in her article “On the Fear of Death,” that there are three psychological aspects that make people fear death. These psychological aspects are, unconsciously we are unable to imagine our own deaths, unconsciously we are unable to distinguish between a wish and deed, and we are trying to prevent death from happening while making death impersonal. We can see many examples within the book Night, by Elie Wiesel, who is a writer, professor, and Nobel Laureate. In this essay, I will be discussing the psychological aspects as to why people may fear death.…

    Courage is often called “The Rarest Virtue”, mostly because it is identifying things that frighten or challenge us and facing them with confidence and bravery. A small number of people fully accomplish this. Unfortunately, many do not choose to face tough situations, instead they walk away. Very few people actually choose to act with courage and confront the circumstances.…

    There are different kinds of courage a person can have. In Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner, there are different kinds of courage each character in the book has.

    I chose to read Bridge to Terabithia this summer because it sounded really good. And I was right!! I loved it. It had many types of courage but one in particular stood out to me. Intellectual/emotional. I’ll talk more about this later. Bridge To Terabithia was about a boy named Jess who is trying to be the fastest runner in fifth grade. But he gets beaten by a new girl named Leslie Burke and they become best friends and they invent a land called Terabithia. They have a good time until something terrible happens to Leslie. And Jess uses the courage she gives him to persevere. Now, earlier I said that the type of courage that stood out to me was intellectual/emotional. One part that definitely stood out to me was (as above) when Jess said…

    The vulnerabilities of dead men make death seem like a very real physical phenomenon, rather than the journey of one’s spirit to either heaven or hell. Henry, too, is affected by viewing the dead. He sees that the dead do not know more than he does, and that they do not experience anything paranormal. He also realizes that he could just as easily be among them -- that dying is as random and meaningless as war, or anything…

    As I read “Speaking of Courage” by Tim O’Brien. I thought of many ways to interpret the story’s meaning. However, after much pondering and reflection I feel that the road around the lake that Bowker incircles continuously throughout the story leads to the true meaning of the entire story. There are many instances in the story of people and objects going nowhere. Everything and everyone he sees along the road seems to be stuck, like him.…

    Thomas' use of parallel sentences creates his mood about death and why it is Nature's job to help us through it. He points out in his essay that reading books on death causes a person to wonder how they will react when they encounter death. He seeks to assure the reader by saying that "if you know not how to die, never trouble yourself; Nature will in a moment...instruct you; she will ...do the business for you..." (275). The idea of the unknown creeps in the back of human thought because people are not sure how they will handle it; ergo they read books to prepare them for the unexpected arrival of death. With the use of parallel sentence structure, he emphasizes to the reader that they will be taken care of if they are faced with the grim situation by repeating the word "you". This technique and word usage engraves the concept of death in the mind and makes the audience follow through the sentence confident that Nature will be there to assist them in the process.…
