grace, at this last moment, to do what -for my own heavy sin
and miserable agony- I withheld myself from doing seven years
ago, come hither now, and twine thy strength about me! Thy
strength, Hester; but let it be guided by the will which God
hath granted me! This wretched and wronged old man is
opposing it with all his might!- with all his own might, and
the fiend’s! Come, Hester, come! Support me up yonder
scaffold!”’(p.235)

Animal Farm By George Orwell
Number of words: 754 - Number of pages: 3.... materialize. Then we are left with
his predecessors. The first is Snowball. Snowball believed one hundred
percent in Old Majors ideals. He wanted all the things Old Major wanted,
such as the welfare of the animals. In the Russian Revolution his
counterpart would be Trotsky. Trotsky believed and wanted the same things
as Lenin, and wanted to continue what Lenin had started. Then comes
Napoleon. Napoleon was selfish and greedy. He did not want to share the
power or the decision making with any other individual. This was the same
for Stalin. At first Napoleon and Snowball shared the .....

The Republic: Morality And Immorality
Number of words: 1043 - Number of pages: 4.... more people could make
the best choice, if it became monetarily more easy to do so. Truth may be
the founding father of morality, and universally unites morality, and

Sir Launcelot
Number of words: 648 - Number of pages: 3.... is the model knight for the code of chivalry. Whether
through his prowess in battle or his largesse that everyone admired, he

Courtly love is another part of the code of Chivalry. Courtly love is love
often between one man and another man's wife. By having an affair with
King Arthur's wife, although still abiding by the code of chivalry, his
loyalty was put into question.
Sir Launcelot had one dominant flaw; he was hopelessly in love with

King Authur And The Knights Of The Round Table
Number of words: 502 - Number of pages: 2.... of the demise of chivalry occurs at the Green
Knights castle. Sir Gawain manages to keep his word for two of the days,
but on the third day, he keeps the lady's scarf. The reason he does this
is obviously for its protective properties. This seems like a good idea,
but this violates his promise to give everything he gets back to the lord
of the manor. It also violates his faith in God's ability to save him from
being decapitated. Sir Gawain isn't as good at following the code of honor
in this story as in the other stories.
The final example I will point out is when he faces the Gre .....

1984: Lack Of Humanity
Number of words: 1317 - Number of pages: 5.... live in the best time of history. In essence, people are unaware of their plight, and they know no better. George Orwell’s 1984 shows how a human being can be stripped of its emotions, its freedom, and its identity if that human being allows a society like Oceania to rule him; therefore, no one should ever allow it to happen.
The Party controls people’s emotions by instilling basic codes of morality. It is insinuated that one should not feel emotions; and, if one does feel them, then one is a criminal. Therefore, the people of Oceania disregard their emotions. All the citizens of .....

Billy Bud
Number of words: 672 - Number of pages: 3.... is no outlet of Billy's emotion; whatever emotion he may be experiencing is not accounted for. This is not the behavior one would expect from someone who had just accidentally killed someone else. On trial Billy has this to say for his actions: "I did not mean to kill him. But he foully lied to my face and in the presence of my captain, and I had to say something, and I could only say it with a blow, God help me!" This statement illustrates Billy's emotional response to his crime; He shirks the full weight of his action by pointing to his accidental nature. Billy is sorry that Claggart w .....

three boarding schools at age 11.
At Trinity, "I discovered that the required courses were not the
ones I required." So he cut the classes that bored him and audited the ones
that didn't.
"It tells you something about the management of Trinity at the time
that they didn't catch up with me until the middle of the sophomore year,"
he recalls. "That ended my formal education, and I suppose it didn't matter
much. I'd figured out how to educate myself, and keep on doing it. To be
fair to Trinity .....
