John Proctor, throughout the play, though a cool and levelheaded individual, did not fit with the creation of a new society within Salem and therefore, was forced to wither away with the rest of those bent on staying attached to a failing society. His views of the people who existed within Salem’s new society were often attacking and completely based on his own opinion. Such thinking, seeming to be logical and opinionated, was seen as heresy in Salem, giving people reasons to attack him verbally and psychologically. His personality, from which his views stemmed from, was straightforward, calculating, and honest. Yet honesty held no reign during his fall, as it did in his own sociological prime.
Tina’s mother returned to pick her approximately 2 ½ hours later and found that Tina was discharged 30 minutes earlier. Tina’s mother was extremely distraught, security was called, and a “Code Pink” (hospital-wide child abduction alert) was activated. Local law enforcement was also contacted by hospital security. When the security officer interviewed the mother, she shared with him that she and Tina’s father were divorced and that she had full custody of Tina and her siblings. Tina was located within 30 minutes of her mother’s arrival, by local law enforcement, in the care of her father.
"I'm very nonjudgmental." As his two roommates had recently decamped, stealing his prize possessions and leaving him with ruinous debts to pay, his neutrality toward human character seemed not generous but stupid, a kind of prophylactic against learning from experience. Yet non-judgmentalism has become so universally accepted as the highest, indeed the only, virtue that he spoke of his own character as if pinning
The mother stated she would return in time to pick Tina up as soon as she was released from recovery. She provided her cell phone number and asked to be contacted if Tina’s surgery was completed earlier than expected. 2 ½ hours later, Tina’s mother returned to pick her up and was extremely distraught to discover that her child had been discharged 30 minutes earlier. Hospital security was notified at 0900 and a “Code Pink” (hospital-wide child abduction alert) was initiated. Security notified the local police department to report the incident.
One might believe that the decision he made was selfish, and basically made for no apparent reason. His description of the three girls, the way that Sammy terminated his employment, and making decisions without thinking about his responsibilities are just a few of the reasons as to why Sammy is an immature, foolish, and impulsive young man. “My stomach kind of fell as I felt how hard the world was going to be to me hereafter” (544) shows that Sammy does realize he made a stupid decision, but that he couldn’t do much since “Once you begin a gesture it’s fatal not to go through with it”
Source 2 also suggest that Charles ‘proceeded even when a policy was arousing great opposition’ which also agrees with Source 1 that suggests that Charles ‘saw no need to explain his action’ therefore suggesting that Chares lacked political judgement as he was very inflexible which many people around him found difficult to work with, ‘unworkable’ which led to a problem. Source 1 strongly emphasises that Charles’ elder brother James was ‘accomplished’ whereas Charles was ‘weak’; alternatively source 2 does not mention anything about James. Source 1 suggests that the reason for Charles’ poor communication skills may have been due to the fact that Charles was not brought up to be a ruler, James was. This therefore suggests that the reason Charles ‘failed to understand viewpoints’ may have been due to this fact which again proved to be a major problem in Charles’ personality. Source 1 also strongly emphasises the fact that Charles was ‘short’ and had a ‘stammer’ whereas Source 2 shows no knowledge of this.
Nick-“I stared at him and then at Tom, who made a paralyzed discovery less than an hour before-and it had occurred to me that there was no difference between men…”(pg.124) This quote that Nick thought was on how Tom’s face looked like when Myrtle told Tom she was leaving. Tom’s face looked in shock when Myrtle told Tom she was leaving. Tom didn’t want to ask any questions because he doesn’t want to make it obvious, in front of Wilson. The novel ‘The Great Gatsby,’ there was many themes. The main theme(s) for me was immorality and appearance vs. reality.
Imagine a hopeless society where everyone was brainwashed with meaningless technology, books were strictly forbidden, and the true meaning of life was long forgotten. For Montag, that is society was very real. The central idea of Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, conveyed by the themes of the sections — awakening, seeking knowledge and truth, and rebirth— is that independent thought can help to overcome great obstacles, which is what leads Montag to step away from the wasteland of modern society to where he truly wanted to be. The first section, “The Hearth and the Salamander”, is where Montag begins to break away from being like an average person in society. The hearth has long been a comforting symbol of home.
He was not a monster but victim. He only killed because the world caused him to. No single living being wants to be born into the world alone and left to die alone. “If you had seen the man who thus capitulated for his safety, your surprise would have been boundless. His limbs were nearly frozen, and his body dreadfully emaciated by fatigue and suffering.
How you view and feel about yourself can be vastly completely different than what others think. Let me tell you a story. I had convinced myself that I was in fact a failure- disregarding any accomplishment I had ever achieved. I started to believe that it was ACTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE to talk anyone at all. After all, whenever I thought about it, my stomach started hurting, my blood pressure would go up, and my palms were sweaty.
