This quote leads to an explanation of how a rich forest full of game may easily tempt a non-hunter to become a hunter. Bass shares with his readers that most of the people in his community that were not hunters became hunters when they integrated into the forest. “This is powerful landscape sculpts us like clay” explains Bass (743). He informs readers that it is not just the necessity of food or peer pressure from the local culture that introduces the villagers to hunting; it is the actual terrain that tempts non-hunters to hunt. Bass explains that before he integrated to the valley he rarely hunted, but when he moved there he could not help exploring the game that the forest sheltered.

His story inspired Jon Krakuer, to retell it in Into the Wild. Now, there is much speculation on his deservingness of sympathy.

“There are times when it could save your life, believe me.”’ (Bryson p305) Bryson shows us that it is ridiculous the way we feel the need to “have” things to make our lives complete. This man is convinced that this product could someday save his life and that he absolutely “needs” it to survive in the wilderness. People seem to think that we need gadgets or “state of the art” things, in order to have a meaningful experience. At the beginning of the book, Bryson is attempting to prepare for life on the trail, but trying to be practical about the amount of things he “needs” as well as the cost of all of these items. Bryson’s wit reveals how a person’s “wants” gets in the way of them realizing they don’t need extra man-made items when nature offers so much.
Ralph upholds the responsibility as chief because he knows he has to somehow guide the boys until they were rescued. Although he is afraid of what lay ahead, he becomes brave and takes position with confidence. Apart from taking a risky position as leader, Ralph shows bravery by taking risks so the other boys do not have to. He, for example, went down to the red cliff where the boys think the beast could be hiding. “...[He] realized with surprise that he did not really expect to meet the beast and didn’t know what he would do about it if he did” (Golding 105).
He also fears what will happen if his father continues to burn down barns. This prevent Sarty from having the foresight to see what he needs to do in order to be content within himself. Fear is a powerful emotion that we must overcome in order to have the foresight to see what has to be done to live a happy, content life. People have the tendency to want to be loyal to family, but when a family member is doing something “wrong,” great internal conflict and fear can arise. Sarty wants to be loyal to his father but knows that the truth must be told.
If I'm selfish I become strong but, my clan becomes weak so in the time of need I will be weak because I will be by myself. My clan will not be strong enough to fight other clans. You as a parent, family member or friend, nurture certain behavior as desirable. Nature (other than environmental) means it's in someone or something's has nature to do something. For example, It is in a child's nature to cry when he/she skins their knee or when they are hungry.
The woods: A place where children grow In a majority of literature, the wilderness is a place that is described as wild and untamed; a place where people go to live like animals. People go to the wild to avoid life’s problems and how they do not agree with the social structure. In the two stories that are going to be discussed, both of the protagonists leave society and go to the wilderness, as a part of their individual journey’s to find true love. In both Guigemar and Midsummer Night’s Dream, the characters escape society and go to a place not restricted to social mores. Both stories are about the main character’s want to find true love and to live in a “happily ever after” way.
Perhaps this suggests the idea that the man is aiming to strip away life and personality in order to become closer to nature and discover himself. It also hints at the man’s desire to become disconnected from human contact which becomes more apparent as the story goes on. The name has a great lack of identity, almost as if he views himself as different from other human beings; he looks for the ‘insulation’ of an island and fears ‘overpopulation’. As the islander continues to make ‘a world of his own’ we read that people on the island address him as ‘the Master’. Although we gain a sense that the people on the island were grateful to him and knew how well off they were, the gushing title seems strongly suggestive of the false ‘happiness and perfection’ he finds in the first island.
However at the same time their actions can run untamed and lead to depravity. He also goes to show that the metamorphosis of power is a delicate balance between the people and government. In the beginning the animals are told of a dream by one known as Major, one of which inspires a hope of freedom and liberation from Man, through the actions of major he had unified the animals under a single wish. And sown in the seed which would sprout the rebellion. However, as the animals waited for a foretold reincarnation of the world without man their chance arouse by force.
Kent’s situation does consist of several ethical dilemmas as his accomplishments since joining Dura- Stick have been mediocre at best and he fears that his time at Dura-Stick might be limited unless he starts closing big accounts such as the project proposed from Spray-On. Bruce is also faced with the knowledge that there is a certain level of expectations placed upon him and his organisation as Spray-On has certain criteria’s that must be met for the ‘new project’. However, Kent accepted the project even thought Dura-Stick would be unable to meet the criteria that Spray-On desires.
