The saddest part of all, according to Sister Lucy, is that so many priests, religious and bishops are swept away in the confusion." The devil has succeeded in bringing in evil (to the Church) under the guise

talk about how he should turn to God. He states that he has had enough. “... something inside me snapped. I started yelling at the top of my lungs, and I insulted him and told him not to waste his prayers on me. I grabbed him by the collar of his cassock… Nothing, nothing mattered…” (Camus 120-121). All the chaplain’s talk about God and life having higher purposes turned the reserved Meursault into a violent person full vehement words.

The symbol of white became big when Pi found religion. White symbolizes peace and simplicity. Between the symbols of three and white, Pi is characterized. The reader sees Pi’s love for God.

In Psychology culture is defined as, “traditions and patterns of behavior that are passed from one generation to the next” (Berger 2015). Tradition holds a large amount of significance in many cultures. It enables groups to establish a collective identity and creates separate identities for the individuals involved. However, those individuals must also learn to accept other cultures and embrace their traditions as well. Father Paul comes to this realization in “The Man to Send Rain Clouds” by Leslie

the very milk and sperm of kindness. (Melville 432) Melville explicitly describes the topic of mutual self-pleasure. Melville uses the whale as a symbol of man to openly discuss the topic of self-pleasure. The title of the next chapter (95) is “The Cassock” which turns out to be the foreskin of the whale. Surprisingly, the men use that excess skin to create robes for themselves. The odd scenes of the men using the whale’s foreskin and their hands on experience with the sperm, is a perfect example of

Richard Connell once quoted, “There is no greater bore than perfection.” This exemplified perfection is something many people lust for, but can’t understand. Imperfections are what make people different from one another but, without imperfections, humans would be boring.

As if he is referring to himself, he’s saying he’s a perfect hunter, but grows bored hunting animals, so he’s stepping
