Max and his crew are vulnerable because of how powerful the opponents are and the damage they could cause, especially from the air. Max and his crew are very vulnerable from the air while in the U-boat. I think: I think Max was very smart to check if there was a plane incoming.

He explained that the need to survive grew stronger, more motivating, and in turn, making him more ruthless with the thought that, he must kill others before they kill him, played over and over in his mind. He states, “I had learned to survive and take care of myself… I liked being alone, since it made surviving easier.” (Beah p. 153). Beah’s rationale bears a striking resemblance to what Robbins explains as a common misunderstanding about hunger and the factors that motivate survival. Furthermore, Robbins explains that famine and overpopulation are not the most common reasons for hunger, but due to a fear of death and the illusion of starvation created by deceitful individualistic ideologies of survival that are connected to basic human instincts; forcing people to view their neighbor as a threat to their personal survival (Robbins p.
157], “special moment,” meaning not his usual occupation. Bordo invites the reader to mentally replace the male preparing pancakes for a woman, an points out that it automatically it loses the value of, “special moment.” Similar to Bordo’s [p. 158], “Food and Love,” there is a maternal image presented in a very conservative, and not the sexy bikini model image. Per Bordo [p.159], “…it is suggested that women receive their gratification through nourishing others, either in the old-fashioned way (taste and emotional pleasures) or in the health-conscious mode.” I get the impression the author feels guilty of liking this role by saying [p.161], “Despite the pleasure I take in cooking, in relationships where it has been expected of me I have resented it deeply.” It does not make sense to
Jeanie is mentioned only to resemble what happens to those of us that sin, and that it resembles what will happen to Laura if she doesn’t change her ways. The way Lizzie recites the tale in a very preachy fashion gives the reader the impression that she’s also using the story as a way to reassure herself and deter herself from temptation as well as Laura. Although it does sound very preachy and negative towards Jeanie’s actions there is a sense of forgiveness in Lizzies words which is evident in the line ‘I planted daisies there a year ago’. It's interesting that Rossetti uses the word "bowers" to describe the place where those "flowers" had been "plucked," because "bowers" can also mean a woman's private bedroom. Having "flowers" "plucked" out of a woman's private bedroom suggests that Jeanie lost her virginity as a result of her encounter with the Goblins, this is backed up when Rossetti says that she ‘fell with the first snow’ due to the fact that in Victorian times a ‘fallen woman’ was someone who had lost their purity i.e.
The purpose of Candy’s dog in the story Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck is to be a symbol of love and show a reoccurring theme in the book. The death of Candy’s dog foreshadows George’s eventual dilemma in which he must decide whether and how to kill his best friend, Lennie. This causes George to weigh the reasons of is it ethical to kill him, should he be the one to do it if it comes down to that, or should he just escape the question all together. George feels bad for Lennie because he is mentally retarded, and can’t live on his own. George says on page 12, “Where the hell could you go?...How’d you eat.
Lennie’s physical strength is an extreme form of physical harassment. One example of the lack of intelligence of Lennie is when he speaks to the dead pup, “Why do you got to get killed? You ain’t so little as mice. I didn’t bounce you hard.” (Steinbeck, 85). Steinbeck uses these examples to foreshadow the eventual death of Curley’s wife.
