His life has almost no chance of improving. While in Crooks’ room, Candy and Lennie talk about their plan to buy a plot of land for them and George to live and farm on.

She begins talking to them and calls them “bindle-stiffs.” Eventually Crooks had enough of her and stood up for himself “You got no rights comin’ in a colored man’s room… get out quick” (88).
For example, Aeolus is easily bribed to wreck havoc against Aeneas’ fleet by Juno’s promising him an exquisite nymph for a wife. Juno has obviously favoured him in the past. He concedes that he owes her for everything she has done for him. However, like a pair of bickering children, the territorial sea god Neptune chastises his sister Juno and calms his sea. Although Venus’ protection of her son in Book one is praiseworthy, she is as manipulative of humans as Juno is.
"It seems to me," said the Cuckoo, "that things have been going very badly with us for some time, and that all would be remedied if we had a king to settle our affairs and rule over us. I would suggest that we choose a king today." Oh, how the birds chirped, and chattered, and peeped at that. The Cuckoo had imagined that she would have the say as to which bird should be king, and she had in mind one of her own sons, but, no indeed! Each bird at the tea party was sure that he had royal blood in his veins, and they all began to argue and quarrel about it.

Tom’s ego takes a hit when he finds out Gatsby wants something that is
By not living in the moment like the weasel, Dillard says that she “would like to learn, or remember how to live” (Dillard). Living in a world full of stress, noticing the minor details of life is not something people do. Humans live a life of choice and like weasels, who do not think about consequences of their actions, people too can enjoy life and choose to forget about the consequences. As depicted by Wilder in act three of Our Town, Emily revisits her twelfth birthday following her death in childbirth. Shortly following her burial, Emily decides to revisit her birthday but is not able to relive the entire day.

They went into contest and Arachne had won, out of spite Athena turned her into a spider so she could weave forever. Now when we look back upon history is it really likely that this ever happen? Now it seems that there is another really big difference with these two types of religions. In Christianity the followers of God believe that he loves them and of his other followers. But the Greek gods were to be respected and feared.
Fifteen Million Merits “Anyone who has no need of anybody but himself is either beast or God”, with this quote of Aristotle the Greek philosopher, I would like to start my analyses and thoughts about the “fifteen millions merits” which is a second episode of the series of Black Mirror. Charlie Brooker and his wife Konnie Hua wrote it, and the actors were Daniel Kaluuy and Jessica Brown. It was aired in December 2011. I think the writers of this movie Charlie and his wife Konnie explained their concern about the corruption, collapse and their pessimism and cynicism of the society. It is a protest of all wretched and desperate people around the world for unfair and unjust now and throughout the ages.
