As Levy continues on, he states that last year a rescuer was shot in the face which is the first time a rescuer has been shot in the 25 year campaign and lucky to not have lost her sight. Levy uses exaggeration here which creates dramatic effect, and paints an image in the readers mind. It also shows an appeal to fear. He then states that all rescuers will be wearing eye protection this year and this gives the reader the impression that duck shooters are violent, which would be a stereotype. He continues on stating that out of duck season, the police come down on anyone harming native ducks but shooters are exempt from prosecution for acts of ‘extreme cruelty’ Once again he uses an exaggeration and an appeal to justice to touch the readers emotions and feel sadness

While both Stagecoach and the Searchers use location, Indians, and a heroic figure to comment on divisions within American society, Stagecoach comments on class divisions while The Searchers observes racial divisions. Both Stagecoach and The Searchers are set in Monument Valley. Ford’s cinematography makes us realize how insignificant human beings are in the vastness of the Western wilderness. The characters in both movies must be tough and resilient in order to survive. This is exemplified in Stagecoach in a scene in which the genteel passengers from the east are all killed or incapacitated by serious injury while those with working class street smarts survive relatively unscathed.
He is not only violent in his speech, but in his actions. Prospero tells him that he ‘didst seek to violate the honour of my child’. He is referring to his daughter Miranda. He also curses Trinculo for mocking him; he calls him a ‘pied ninny’ and ‘thou jesting monkey’, ‘thou scurvey patch’. He then instructs Stephano to ‘beat him enough and bite him to death.
And it represents the idea, that Dwight is narrow-minded, tyrannical and insisting of his allegations of Jack, as a true part of Jack's identity. Therefore also positioning the readers image of Dwight as not only pettish but also mentally brutal against an adolescent boy who has a lack of identity. Correspondingly, Dwight's flaws are exemplified especially when Jack is taken from Seattle to "change" his rebellious personality. While on the road, Dwight "pull[s] the car hard … [in order to] hit a beaver" which foreshadows Dwight's violent behaviour, and that Jack in the near future, may end up just like the beaver—"dead". Furthermore, the beaver is also symbolic of Jack's future with Dwight, as during the past two years, while it had been "left to cure", it became "pulp" instead—a failure.

This is very difficult for Huck because he would rather be out playing hooky from school, smoking tobacco, and fishing. Once one of the old ladies, Miss Watson, tries to teach Huck how to pray, but when he tried praying for fishing gear, he only “got a fish-line, but no hooks” (Twain 168).

At this time Huck’s greedy father appears back in town because he has heard that Huck has over six thousand dollars in the bank and Mr. Finn wants it. Mr. Finn takes Huck away from the Widow Douglas and her sister Miss Watson.
