Also, he is afraid for his family here and their reputation. After everyone has been questioned, Arthur says this: “It doesn’t matter much now, of course, but was he really a police inspector?” “Well, if he wasn’t, it matters a devil of a lot.” He says this after the Inspector has left and shows that even if the Inspector was a fake and tricking him then it did not happen and everything could go back to normal. This showed that if the Inspector was not real, he felt he did not have to take any responsibility for Eva’s death and Arthur felt relieved. Arthur also says that if it was more than one girl, it makes a difference as well because he may have only sacked one of
This speech is different from the others in that he uses very vivid and disturbing images when he is trying to convince the governor to surrender his city. Although this speech does use Henry’s same rhetoric he isn’t leading anyone in a sense. He actually says that if the city doesn’t surrender he will lose control of his army and they will go off and do whatever they want. Henry says, “ your infants spitted upon pikes”(38) which draws a not so pleasant image. It almost leads us to question Henry’s morals if he is willing to kill infants.
Christ passes all the trials with the aid of the word of God, “Jesus answered, 'It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” (Matthew 4:4). In this case Gods word was his supernatural helper. After replying the devil with the word of God the devil then flees from him and he is then taken care of by Angeles. “Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him"(Matthew 4:11). The devil is testing Christ’s strength but he manages to pass the tests from the devil.
People complain that it is inconvenient to change the clocks twice a year. It is believed that the severity of accidents, even though there may be less, is worse because of people’s disrupted sleep (WebExhibits). Also as people adjust to the change it is thought that people’s productivity in the work force is less. Another reason some do not like it is because of religion and rituals. In Israel, Ultra- Orthodox Sephardic Jews have fought against DST.
After finding Pete’s cousin, Washington Hogwallop, having a place to stay and later getting caught by the sheriff the three men are saved by Hogwallop’s son. They take the car and make it to the crossroads. The crossroads represent a place where a life altering decision is to be made. After Pete and Delmar go through the baptism process they think they are going to be good people so when they see Tommy, a random person standing on the crossroads, they give him a ride. Tommy tells them that he sold his soul to the devil and from there the men know that they are making a mistake and something bad is going to happen.
Also that if events such as, seas getting dried up were to happen everyday they wouldn’t be a miracle. Wiles has also said that believing in miracles could be wrong, as if they were done by God then he could have stopped major tragedies, e.g. Auschwitz and Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In these examples it limits God and he is seen as not being omnibenevolent. However, in the New Testament God heals and individual who is blind and lets others die.
Fahrenheit 451 “Not everyone born free and equal, as the Constitution say, but everyone made equal.” (58) Captain Beatty claims here that people need to be made equal, lest people become unhappy. Beatty claims that it is the job of the fireman to uphold equality by burning books which show people’s inequalities. This is how Beatty misinterprets the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence by wanting to uphold the right to the pursuit of happiness, but as a fireman he forces people to be happy by taking away all unhappiness. “‘Play the man, Master Ridley; we shall this day light such a candle, by God’s grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out.’” (36) This is a reference to Nicholas Ridley and Hugh Latimer. The two were
Censorship is the idea of not revealing ideas and text in order to benefit society. But in many ways, censoring items causes the world to create biased thoughts based on the limited information released. In some cases the world is blinded because they are told nothing to begin with. Historical events such as the holocaust can prove this true. To this day society continues to be censored from ideas by the government and companies that impact our ways of life and learning.
The Importance of Perspective “It is a narrow mind which cannot look at a subject from various points of view” and the view point you see the world from hinges on your behaviour (Eliot, 91). Fahrenheit 451 is based around the world of Guy Montag, a fireman whose job it is to burn books and the houses that contain them in order to assist the government in supressing dissenting ideas. The government believes that these dissenting ideas come from thinking and as a result they fill people’s lives with television and radio to avoid giving them down time for thought. Early on, Montag is fine with this oppression of free thought until he meets a young girl. This girl turns his understanding upside down and Montag winds up stealing a book from a burning, contacting an old English professor to assist him in his rebellion.
Although Tiresias never states that Antigone was right Tiresias does indeed talk about The Great Miasma that Creon has cause over the city by not burying the body. Tiresias notices the miasma due to the fact that the gods were not taking his offerings. Tiresias never said that Antigone was right, but the realization of Creon knowing that he was wrong and that he lost his family showed that Tiresias prophecy bought attention to the reality that Creon was indeed
