She said school is shit and home is shit but she didn’t explain why and Joe never asked. In the novel Joe looked at a photo of Amanda, he had known her all his life. But now it was like he was looking at a total stranger. Joe didn’t really have any secrets but he felt like he didn’t really know his friends at all.

Books are seen as evil in this society so the new job of firemen was to burn these banned books to promote world peace. He coincidentally says that every fireman will take a book due to curiousness and if it is taken care of twenty four hours after the fact, then he won’t be penalized for the illegal
What’s up with that? It could be that, in this world, a girl like Clarisse just can’t exist. She’s incompatible with her surroundings, so she’s not allowed to live. We don’t know all the details of her demise, nor is the confusion reconciled by the end of the novel. But we can’t help but think of Clarisse when Granger discusses the thumbprint on his mind left by his
This relates to Tybalt starting the fight because he fights and kills Mercutio but has no plan for defeat when fighting with Benvolio; meaning he didn’t think of the thrashing of himself after the possible fight. For example, Tybalt “What, art thou drawn among these heartless hinds? Turn thee, Benvolio, look upon thy death” (1.1.53-54) Basically Tybalt is trash talking to Benvolio and threatening him and making him angry and
Even though Montage kills Beatty, Beatty insults him so intensely that Montage is, in a way, forced to kill him. From this we can easily conclude that Beatty wants to die. Beatty is also obviously not totally against books. We see this from the quantity of quotes that are integrated into his everyday speech. This means that at some point in his life, Beatty was also questioning society just like Montage is now.
(Periodic construction). With regard to our society’s need for embalmment, Milford is both skeptical and scoffing. (alliteration) This is evidenced by her questioning of the legality of the procedure in paragraph two, and her less than flattering description of the undertaker’s profession as evidenced by her use of the words “intractable” and “loath” in her description of the profession. Mitford also uses asyndeton in the first paragraph when she states, “ …Is in short order sprayed, sliced, pierced, pickled, trussed, trimmed, creamed, waxed, painted, rouged”.The author makes no attempts at establishing credibility with the reader, as she never discusses her credentials in the topic of embalmment. Instead, she relies on the pure emotion of the reader with a little logic mixed in.
Though, the only unlikable thing about Holden is he might judge people a little too much. The quote,” Even the couple of nice teachers on the facility were phonies too.”- (Salinger, p.168) This shows that Holden can pretty much find something
She will be the man here” (519). This quote explains Kreon’s irritation on Antigone. The very moment Antigone buries her be loving brother’s body Kreon wants to take action with killing her because she disobeyed his law also Antigone’s sister, Ismene, because Kreon believes she was part of it too. Kreon believes if he does not kill Antigone he will no longer be one of the best rulers that people will look up too. This quote is important because it explains how Kreon begins to commit hubris.
He stopped thinking about the feelings and opinions of people that respect him and instead began selfishly thinking about only himself. Without any morals to guide him he soon began to think of only the immediate problems. His lack of planning eventually leads to his frantic behavior and loss of self-control. He eventually just begins to kill anyone who opposes him to solve problems that he could have easily avoided if he would stop and think. Macbeth’s actions traveled along a line going from honor and respect to the killing of women, children, and his best friends.
I think he wanted to do this so that no one would figure out what he was really trying to do. He especially did not want Claudius to find out that he was trying to prove his guilt in the murder of his father, most likely in fear that he would do the same to him once he knew. This shows that he was being careful and cautious. The reason that Hamlet waited so long to act upon Claudius and get revenge was not because he couldn't decide when or how to do it, but because he wanted to make sure that Claudius really killed his father and was first proven guilty of it. He couldn't just kill him because of what a ghost had told him, most people would never believe that.
