If DLK had over 100 plants in his house, there is no possible way he could have moved them all before authorities caught him. In document A1, the author states, “The Supreme Court ruled that the warrantless search was valid because otherwise, Carroll might drive away and the evidence would disappear.” In this case, the search was valid against Carroll because he could have easily driven away with the liquor in his car; therefore, some could argue the officials were in “hot pursuit,” giving them permission to do so. It is physically impossible, not just for DLK, but for any person to transport over 100 marijuana plants without there being sight of
In the World State no one really grows up because the World State wants everyone to be happy and not experience pain which means no one loses their innocence. To grow up and become wiser, people need to get hurt and learn from
One will have time management and sustaining themselves from harmful activities. One will know how to set goals and make decision of achieving those goals. Right
Roosevelt did not wring his hands and worry about the harsher aspects of war (Ruddy). He believed war was a tough business and that sometimes terrible things happened as a matter of course of events. What do you think his stance on the Iraq war would have been? He did not seem to fear war or be willing to try pacifism. He would have probably been an advocate of the torture techniques we used as well.
Therefore, they accept it as the truth and never questioned that maybe the priest could be wrong too? It never occurred to them that they could vote the King down or the governance down if they think it’s unjust. The priests are only seeking profits for themselves, but they put it on God’s term to fool these honest and loyal men. Hank think it is outrageous these priests just set whatever rules they want. These workingmen holds a majority of the nation, yet, they do not have any say in the government or their own life.
Many people reverse the idea and believe life is material cares and wants. These men understand this distinction and shortcut their way to true happiness by skipping the fruitless chase of more and more. They have enough. So much in fact that they are willing to share everything they get because there is no attachment. Without attachment there is no longing or pain when whatever it is runs out.
(page 52) The society all says the same thing because, at that time, the government wanted everyone to be “equal”. Society takes away the curiosity of what is beyond just their town. Keeping it the same means no change which can make your emotions stay the same. Montag is sad simply because he is never happy. People need to be bothered, not by self-inflated bubbles but by something important, something real.
We Are I… In Ayn Rand’s “I Owe Nothing To My Brothers”, Equality 7-252 has discovered individualism, being independent, a new meaning for the word “I”. Because of this, he doesn’t feel the need to owe anything to anyone. This passage tone is very declarative and enlightening. Individualism should be something we all practice as a whole. Being independent does not mean that we have to cut everybody out of our lives to accomplish what we desire.
They do not need a court of “justice, prisons or a parliament” because “they were strangers to lawsuits” (68). Candide and Cacambo are amazed by how highly functioning the nation is. In their curiosity they explore the nation and its inner workings with the king and still find no flaws in the system. Candide regularly exclaims “The castle where I was born is nothing in comparison with this” (68). Despite appearing socially as a utopia, the city does have faults to it.
All of the people in the brave New World believe they are the best they can be which means there is no desire to achieve anything or try harder. This also furthers the gap between real human nature because it is just basic instinct for people to make things better for themselves. When the world controller makes John stay as punishment it’s clear that the world is not a utopia because John hangs himself. By acknowledging the dystopia, Aldous Huxley demonstrates how one man's heaven is another man’s hell. Along with many other possible themes, “A perfect world is unachievable without imperfection” fits quite nicely.
