.... this thing? Antigone. I do. I deny nothing. -pg. 502, lines 43-52 She didn't lie to get her out of trouble nor blame her accused actions on someone else. I think that this would show and tell people not to be afraid to say or do what you think is right. Antigone would be a good role model for many people. She wanted to do the right thing for her dead brother. Yet her idea of the right thing to do didn't agree with some people such as Creon. She didn't care about anything else except to do the proper thing, giving her brother a proper burial. She wanted to do the unthinkable- to .....

.... both include violence and regretful lessons learned the hard way, and seam to involve similar events and characters. A definite change in Boyle’s plot over the course of the two stories however, is the loss in significance and importance of the plot and the take over by setting and character instead. A well-defined thread connecting the two stories are the plot similarities. In both stories, the characters attempt to be what they are not. The plot revolves around this central theme and shows them doing things they aren’t fit to do. Whether it is shooting a lion or fighting a tough .....

.... an English man that was a police officer in Burman, who was hated for his race and felt it almost impossible to do his job. He had to deal with a lot of hatred and disrespect, but yet he was expected to do what the town’s people asked of him when they asked. When the elephant got loose the first person the sub-inspector at the opposite end of the town called was the main character, who was to be nameless throughout the entire story. He wanted him to go do something about the loose elephant because the mahout (the keeper and driver of an elephant) was away and no one else could handle a .....

.... a pig for the first time, he becomes obsessed with hunting. All Jack can think about is killing a pig. He begins to show even more evil and irresponsibility when he puts clay and charcoal on his face to make himself camouflaged in order to kill a pig. Jack leads the hunters in a chant, "Kill the pig. Cut her throat. Spill her blood" (LoF 69). Critic, Frederick R. Karl, believes that the boys on the island lose their civilized ways in order to show reality of life. Karl comments, "The stranded boys in Lord of the Flies, for example, almost entirely shake off civilized behavior. . . . What .....

.... They were conceptualized by Aristotle as the keys to persuading an audience. Ethos, directly translated, means “worthy of belief,” and deals with establishing credibility. Pathos involves “putting hearers…into the right frame of mind with regard to certain issues and the speakers persuasive intent” (Smith 83).

.... sands of the Arabian desert, where our age-long persecutors, the inexorable Turkish authorities had driven us during the dark days of the First World War with the flimsy excuse that we were in sympathy with the Allied cause. We enjoy now in America, "The Land of Liberty and The Home of the Brave," a cultural democracy, the likc of which is not found anywhere in the world on such a vast scale. To this cultural heritage every race has contributed something worthwhile from its precious spiritual resources. This fact explains why America is blessed more than any other country with an incompa .....

.... gets in his way. He is also a racist, always talking about the “White Race” needing to conquer all. “It’s up to us who are the dominant race to watch out or these other races will have control of things.” Tom is the perfect example of the kind of amoral people described in the book. Greedy, ignorant and wealthy. Myrtle Wilson is just the same. She is dishonest towards her husband and speaks highly of herself. But she is one over Tom because she takes him for granted. He is the one buying all of her clothes and beauty accessories. He even went as far as .....
