Twain says that humans are the only kind to inflict on pain onto others with pleasure, he states that this trait is not known to the higher animals. Twain says that humans are selfish and wasteful, they they kill their own type for nothing, for no use of them. The higher animals only kill what they need and use. Twain comes to the conclusion that humans are the at the very bottom and nothing can go below man. Twain believes

    Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 portrays a group of men called “firemen;” their title, however, is ironic from what one would expect a fireman to do. Instead of putting out fires, the men in this novel deliberately set books and what are thought to be criminal houses ablaze.…

    A world where books are illegal and must be burned that ISN’T Nazi Germany? What? Yes, it may sound crazy, but a world full of book burning is the basis of Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451. Bradbury writes a spectacular story about a firefighter(named ironically, given they start fires instead of putting them out) that wants to enjoy his life by reading. The story offers the idea that it’s main protagonist, the bored-with-life Montag, dares to break an ill placed law.…

    Thus I verified and established each step of my course in its turn before advancing to the next. These experiments were made painstakingly in the London Zoological Gardens, and covered many months of painstaking and fatiguing work.” (Twain, The Damned Human Race) The experiments were mind blowing and cruel. Twain stated, “In truth, man is incurably foolish. Simple things which the other animals easily learn, he is incapable of learning. Among my experiments was this. In an hour I taught a cat and a dog to be friends. I put them in a cage. In another hour I taught them to be friends with a rabbit. In the course of two days I was able to add a fox, a goose, a squirrel and some doves. Finally a monkey. They lived together in peace; even affectionately. Next, in another cage I confined an Irish Catholic from Tipperary, and as soon as he seemed tame I added a Scotch Presbyterian from Aberdeen. Next a Turk from Constantinople; a Greek Christian from Crete; an Armenian; a Methodist from the wilds of Arkansas; a Buddhist from China; a Brahman from Benares. Finally, a Salvation Army Colonel from Wapping. Then I stayed away two whole days. When I came back to note results, the cage…

    In a world where books are outlawed and knowledge is scoffed, separation from true feelings means true happiness. Or does it? Ray Bradbury’s book, Fahrenheit 451, illustrates exactly what the world would be if people were separated so completely from their feelings that they were unable to comprehend the true meaning and feeling of real satisfaction. Although Fahrenheit 451 and our society today are distinctly different, they also have some startling similarities.…

    Mark Twain expresses his feelings about humankind by saying that rather than evolving into creatures who are intelligent, we devolved into a dumb species of brutes and maniacs. What he means by saying this is when we want something, we don't necessarily need it. Animals like the predators only kill what they need to survive. Humans spoil this by taking things in greedy manners to satisfy their infinite hunger for material needs. Mark Twain makes a good analysis on humans by saying that, but not all of that is true to a certain degree.…

    In the novel Brave New World written by Aldous Huxley, the main conflict is Character versus Society. The protagonist of the story is Bernard Marx, who in the beginning of the story is unhappy with how his life is going. He feels like there is more to life than being intimate with someone and taking soma. Since the society stands for having multiple, non-emotional relationships and a never ending social life, one never has the time to reflect. Bernard went against the society’s views when he asked Lenina about weather she ever feels as if she want to be more than “just a cell in the social body”(78). As an answer to the question she started crying. Even though Bernard is able to think about such theories and question the society Lenina, who has been properly conditioned wouldn’t even dare to question such things, especially since they are about the society she lives in. This shows how much effort the society put in it’s people to condition then, in order for them not to be able to think for themselves. Another time when Bernard tries to change his life and also opposes society is when he uses the savage to gain popularity. He is trying on improving his life quality, but he is going against society indirectly because, John is actually corrupting Helmholtz and Bernard with Shakespeare. Going against society in these direct and indirect ways, has changed the protagonist’s view on the society. Instead of not wanting to be part of it and looking for ways to find what was being hidden from him, towards the end of the novel he was enjoying life fully, and when he has been told that he will be exiled he wished he wasn’t going to be because he was actually starting to take pleasure in his new…

    In fact, Twain postulates that mankind’s “Moral Sense” manifests as the virus plaguing humanity with inferiority (Twain 4). Conscious recognition of wrong, constructed by the very morals believed to distinguish mankind, is the only prerequisite of immoral actions. Exhibitions of aforementioned iniquity are displayed within avarice, cruel violence, and the institution of slavery. Twain satirizes yet another unique aspect of humanity, oral language, by insinuating that mankind speaks of change, yet never actually works toward those ends. Animals, in contrast, “are the only ones who exclusively do their own work and provide their own living” (Twain 2).…

    A lie is universally perceived as immoral. In Mark Twain's "On The Decay of the Art of Lying" pointed out that sometimes lying can serve for the better good than a bitter truth. He said "the wise thing is for us diligently to train ourselves to lie thoughtfully, judiciously; to lie with a good object, and not an evil one; to lie for others' advantage." The lie that my mother committed was selfless and noble. She took all of my bad attitude and anger without complaining as long as I never change the way I see my dad. This lie was a mind-opener for that it made me realize so many things. It may have been a heart-breaking revelation but what came after that made the heart-break worth it. I've come to finally appreciate my mother and my family.…

    I both agree and disagree with mark twains essay. He did live in a different time, however cruelty still exists the same, just in a different age and time. If one analyzes the Human race or all animals, one can find vulgarity in both creatures. To say which is of a higher or lower status because of barbaric qualities both humans and animals both have, cannot be compared properly. Animals do some awful things to each other as well as human beings . Mark Twain just lists human’s bad aspects. There are lots of positive aspects of humans, he goes into detail of only the negative aspects of human. If there are bad people, there can also be good people. It’s true in these days, and was also true in the time which Mark Twain lived in. In 1860s, when Mark Twain lived in, there was an American Civil War and this is most likely why he is so ashamed of human beings. there’s something he missed about humans One has to look outside of all the bad and evil and recognize those who are becoming vegetarians to save an animal, going green to save the planet, those who become doctors to treat sick people. If we didn’t have a moral sense how would we be capable of doing these things? Mark Twain is pointing out to many of the flaws that the human race has, and not enough of the qualities that we posses. these points can go both ways with man and animals, although, I agree on his point about religion. I see where he is coming from completely when he states “Man is the only Religious Animal.” He goes on to say how historic people murdered others because someone’s religious beliefs didn’t fit to theirs ,whereas animals don’t murder for religious reasons and never will. his essay is intense and really gets one thinking, it was well written and described in…
