Despite all of General Zaroff’s success, fortune and his appeared attitude, Zaroff is in many ways not civilized. Civilized means being polite, well-mannered or treating others with respect. Well Zaroff treats Rainsford good at first evident by giving him a cocktail, treating him to a meal, and hoping to hunt with him until he says “I wish to leave this island at once”. This quote hit Zaroff in his heart.
Everybody is frightened by something. From pig heads impaled on a stick to a dead parachutist falling from the sky, in the world of Lord of the Flies, there are numerous reasons for which one should be scared. In the story, a group of English schoolboys find themselves stranded on an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The children have no parents to protect them from the mysterious animal of a “beast” that is haunting them. The “beast” is a legacy that is abundant in changing throughout Lord of the Flies.

The author who wrote Under the Eye of the Clock is talking about a boy with a disability. Joseph has always struggled with everything he had to do! He knows that if he keeps trying, anything he does he will succeed. In this story the author suggest that "Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard". This quote reminds of me Joseph.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, a philosopher during the early 1800’s in America, wrote Self-Reliance, an essay about the importance of the individual, and relying one’s own thoughts and impressions. He emphasizes the importance of thinking for yourself, not relying on others to think for you. Rhetorical strategies, like figurative language, allusions, and elaborate syntax and parallelism, allow Emerson
George and Lennie’s dream is to own a farm and leave their jobs when they save enough money up. Lennie’s dream is also to “tend the rabbits”. One of the workers, Candy overheard them talking about owning a farm when they save enough money. Candy says he want in and George says no at first, but then Candy says that he’s saved a lot of money up. He said he will pay for half of it.
Of Mice and Men One time, standing in my cabin, I glanced outside to see the grazing horses and the jumping rabbits. I felt light, yet remorse, because rabbits are a symbol in the book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. Rabbits were the fixation Lennie had and hope he held on to for a better future. John Steinbeck gives a hopeful, sorrowful tone throughout the whole book Of Mice and Men (1937). In the book, George and Lennie bounce around from job to job, never having a solid place to call home.
” I’ve learned that it is not what I have in my life but who I have in my life that counts. ”(http://www.searchquotes.com/quotation/I%27ve_learned_that%2C_it_is_not_what_I_have_in_my_life_but_who_I_have_in_my_life_that_counts./447970/) .What this quote means is that friends are someone that are worth more then anything else. In John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men,he shows how the men in farms are always lonely. For example, Crooks did not have anyone.
Jamison Seese Mr. Kelley English 9 February 9, 2023 Hopes and Dreams Do people's hopes and dreams, even those that may never come true help them to survive? The story of Of Mice and Men is about two friends in the 1930s, Lennie and George. They are migrant workers who have a dream like every other worker, they want to be independent. They want to live on their own farm and finally be in control.
Even by working hard, people don’t always get what they want. In the book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, Lennie and George are two friends who are traveling to find a job, so they can finally earn money and live their dream life. They find the farm, and they had a hard path in the future to get their dream. Whether they will reach it is the real question. John Steinbeck developed the impossibility of the American dream in the 1930s by showing that people worked hard for their dreams, if they can’t physically do work they aren’t interesting to people, and people following their dreams become selfish.
Antagonist: Jeanine Matthews – the leader of the faction Erudite. She became a leader because of her intelligence. She is the reason behind the attack to Abnegation. She is somehow a manipulator and a tease. She controlled the Dauntless to start a war.
This quote is very inspiring. This was just one example of how Morrie put everyone else before himself. Morrie is on death’s doorstep but, he manages somehow to care about the feelings and lives of others more than his last months. This teaches me that a lot of things can make people feel good.
“So often, in our quest to be popular and to be part of the ‘in-group’ we lose sight of things that are far more important.” To me this quote means that we’re so obsessed with being a part of a group or a person’s life, that doesn’t care about us to the point where we forget about the people who do care. The quote is somewhat meaningful to me because when I was younger, around eight years old, I got new neighbors and I really wanted to be their friends with them because I had no desire to be lonely after getting home and finishing my homework. I tried everything for them to befriend me, and once they did I saw that it wasn’t work all the time and effort I put in. They ended up being awfully rude and only wanted to be around me when they wanted
Ursula Le Guin defines Omelas as a utopia where the citizens’ lives are never wretched. Le Guin captures her readers’ attention by describing the city’s beauty with the colorful scenery, events featuring games and horse riding, and the everlasting happiness. She does a great job of leading her readers into thinking this could be the perfect society, but leaves us with the question of satisfaction. According to Le Guin, “happiness is based on a just discrimination of what is necessary, what is neither necessary nor destructive, and what is destructive” (p. 2). This quote means that there must be a balance for the society to succeed.
“Surely, of all creatures that have life and will, we women/ Are the most wretched” (Euripides 229-230). This first quote is spoken by Medea after she escapes her maudlin feelings and assesses her feelings on her situation with her husband. Before now, she showed no sign of overcoming her agonized spirit. She lay in her bed sobbing, and only spoke to declare her wish for immediate death. When she decides to make a statement, she addresses all women of Corinth.
