However, Lennie and George travel together already demonstrating the distinctive relationship between the pair. Furthermore, Steinbeck’s use of the imperative for Lennie enhances his actions, showing George’s dominant character in the relationship. Moreover, “Till i come” explains Lennie’s reliance on George suggesting a unique relationship as during the 1930’s men, had a very solitary and lonely life, usually with no families as they were always travelling, looking for work. It was one man for themselves. This is why the relationship is seen as very rare because of the dependency and how they were uncommonly united by their shared dream of a better life on a farm, where they can “live off the fatta the lan” as Lennie puts it.
When Ralph Waldo Emerson observed nature, he states that, “nothing can befall him in life, no disgrace or calamity, when he is observing nature.” He is speaking of almost being absorbed into nature and becoming a part of it. Emerson appreciated the beauty of nature and explored it for an explanation of his identity by becoming spiritual. Nature teaches us the beauty in everything, by helping us appreciate every simple thing in life such as a shell or an acorn, it can help us embrace life and live it to the fullest. Nature is also medicinal and restores a serene tone and replaces emotions of rage with an eternal calm. Emerson once also stated that, “for nonconformity the world whips you with its displeasure.” This quote expresses the importance of individuality in transcendentalism and not being influence by anything or anybody to make decisions.
The Prime Mover is the Final Cause of everything in the world; he was the creator of the first cause that has caused everything until today. The prime mover is described as necessary, as the Prime Mover must exist. The PM does not have a physical body as physical bodies undergo changes, and the PM is also known as the moved mover, it cannot physically grow, be changed or altered. People argue that the PM has a spiritual body that is immaterial. The roles of the PM are linked to the roles of god but the 2 must not be confused.
Eternal law cannot be understood, it is everlasting, and unchangeable. Thomas says the whole world is ordered by the providence of God not with chaos. Humans do not have it in themselves to sustain this law without it passing away. Everything comes into passing and is created by a God and has a purpose. Even though humans are not eternal, the forms of human beings are eternal in the mind of God.
We do not know our soul’s potential, however, we do know that it is almost immeasurable. Finally, both men believe that the imagination can uplift and change our lives. Emerson speaks of Thoreau at his death saying, He knew the worth of the imagination for the uplifting and consolation of human life... (Emerson 226). These men realize that in order to have a comfortable and improved life they must put their imagination to
Boaz did whatever he could to lift Ruth up, to give her more crops, to take her in for his wife. He knew her weakness was not having a man to take care of her or a home to live in and he helped her. Friends are supposed to lift up each other and help them with their weaknesses. Some people I know would rather see you fail so they can shine even more. Which again goes back to the story, Boaz could have not given Ruth any of his crops so he could sell them and become richer.
Even though Dave does earn money from plowing fields he never sees any of it because his parents demand that the money is given to them. This starts to show how Dave’s parents deprive him of love and nurturing and why he needs to break away from his current life to grow into an adult. His parents not only demand all of his wages but also not once do they comfort Dave in any way or tell him that they love him. On the contrary, there is textual detail that shows that Dave has been physically abused by his father and is afraid of it happening again. His father screams, “Yuh wan me t take a tree n beat yuh till yuh talk!” (172).
The external influence has to come form outside, not from the wood itself, in the argument for the creation of the universe, many see this influence as God. Aquinas’s second way, refers to God as the uncaused cause. He states that everything in the universe has a cause, a chain of causes, for something in the universe to exist it has to be the case of something else, but not God, nothing can cause God otherwise he would not be God. God is outside time he dies not abide by the universes rules, as he is the creator. the example of the existence of a child backs this up, the child is caused by his parents having intercourse, he cannot existed any other way.
He knew nothing would change for the common people; only the politicians who craved power had their lives change. Benjamin the donkey took in everything that was happening around him, but he did not want to speak up about it. Moses Moses the Raven in Animal Farm is a replica of Moses the prophet. Moses the Raven went around the farm telling other animals about SugarCandy Mountain which was like their version of Heaven. Moses the Raven said to the other animals that they could only go to SugarCandy Mountain if they worked hard.
Looking at planet earth as of today makes me very heartbroken. We as humans care about the planet earth but we lack action. Volunteering at my local park taught me that change can be small, and that all that matters is, if I’m doing my part. Before this experience, I was lacking sense of self, I felt like I was being quite selfish to the earth by not doing my part to save the earth and just focusing on the bigger picture, and how to save the earth in a bigger movement. After observing how many people don’t recycle, or don’t even put their trash in the right bins, it made me realize that it’s the small things that matter; you don’t have to be in a movement or protest to do your part.
