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.
The meaning that I found in this was, that although a person needs a community of others to help guide and support them, the person must remain an individual being, rather than
“If you want to be seen, you need to show up” - Athena Hall “Freshman year doesn’t really matter but when you look back, you’ll thank yourself for putting in the hard work early on” -Richard Benito “Although it is tempting, you will be happy you did not drop out” - Francesca Riis-Poulsen “Always do your best, no one can ask for more nor should he expect less” -No one, ever. "Be yourself" - Katie Lemon "Do the work” -Jackson Snellman “Senioritis shouldn’t start until senior year” -Juliette Carpet “Don’t even” -Grace
Throughout this journal, Zaroff can be characterized as confident and wacky. First, he can be considered as a confident man. In addition, the introduction of himself to Rainsford can be a detail by his speaking tone. Also, how he collaborates with Rainsford such as shake hands is a detail too. For example, “Another man was coming down the broad marble steps, an erect, slender man in evening clothes.
A quote that I have used to help me through high school at Mountain Heritage High School is “The Point is not to take the world’s opinion as a guiding star but, to go one’s way in life and working unerringly, precisely; neither depressed by failure nor seduced by applause.” This quote reminds me to stay humble and never give up. This quote has also reminded me, in countless situations, that other people’s opinions of me should not define me.
The quote that Handful says to Sarah in The Invention of Wings, “My body might be a slave, but not my mind. For you, it’s the other way around” (Kidd 201), displays the obvious inequalities towards women and African Americans during the early 1800’s. The quote shows that not only is Handful a slave in the novel, but Sarah is as well. Sarah is trapped in the mindset that she cannot make a difference in the world and believes her dreams of having a profession are unrealistic due to what others think. The quote is very important because it helps Sarah realize how imprisoned she is in Charleston and how she can never make a difference in the fight for justice for others due to women’s status.
Bullying The power of friendship is a major theme in the novel, The Misfits. One example of this is when Addie made a valentine for Skeezie because he didn't have any friends, then Skeezie made a big deal about it and paid Addie $1 all because Addie was being a good friend. If everyone stopped making friends and stopped being nice, it would seem like the world would stop spinning. Friendship is what keeps people from going insane.
The quote, “Nothing matters so much in life as to live it decently," is part of a very compassionate memoir called Romulus, My Father by Raimond Gaita, which he wrote for his father after his death. The memoir has many important themes embedded throughout, but the sense of self-identity is important as it relates to the quote being discussed. Friendship is shown to be important in achieving a sense of self-identity, as Romulus and Hora have such a strong bond and throughout the memoir, they have assisted each other to find themselves when lost. The friendship and shared conversation enjoyed by his father became a key factor in Gaita’s formative years. Friendship is esteemed, a reflection of self and social identity, a benchmark against which
It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.” This quotation means that friendship is can be good, and bad. Understanding one another through good, and bad, but allowing the other to get hurt causes greater problems.
For example, when I was younger, about elementary school age, I had many friends and considered myself to be a more “popular” kid in my school. This was until I reached middle school, and as the kids were experimenting with their styles, attitudes, and career paths, I realized that I wasn't the popular kid, I was just a girl who knew everyone in the school. Personally, that realization hurt and took a toll on my mental health, especially when COVID hit, but thanks to my best friend, Hannah whom I have known since kindergarten, who was always there for me and helped me throughout the fun COVID schooling experience, I understand that she has sacrificed so much for me and I the same for her, without her, I would not be the person I am today and I am extremely grateful for everything she has done for me. A good example of brotherhood from the source Of Mice And Men is the fact that George had so many opportunities to up and leave Lennie on his own and go off to live his dream, yet he decided to stay with him and take care of him, knowing that Lennie wouldn’t be able to survive on his
This quote comes from the character Dr. John Brown who uses this analogy to explain to Tita that, like a match, a person cannot be truly alive until her flame is lit by the things she is passionate about, along with the breath of those who love her. The meaning behind this quote can be compared to many readers for the reason that many people may think they can live life without other people when in reality they need others to help them. As humans, we crave the acceptance of others, thus why we change our actions according to others and their values and beliefs. Social norms provide guidelines and behavior, influencing their
This quote means that you never know somebody fully, unless you take their place and adapt to the person's life characteristics. This matters because you can never know what somebody is persecuted about, praised for, expected of, and stuck with. So, you shouldn’t judge someone because you can misinterpret them for who they really
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.
(Analysis) This quote shows that if one joins together with a community, everyone will benefit rather than trying to stand
This quote really embodies my message, and the manner in which, I believe, my community should carry themselves. The impression of the matter is people in my community often do kind things just for recognition. If I had the authority, I would ensure that they are carried out for long periods of time rather than once or twice. If I had the authority to change this about my community I
