Quote 2: Success is not really success if you haven’t succeeded past any obstacles to get to that sussessful life. “I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.” Booker T. Washington was telling his readers how he felt through the voice of this quote. This says to me a lot to myself and teach me a lesson.
This quotation also foreshadows Lennie's death. John Steinbeck is comparing Candy's dog to Lennie. Like the dog, Lennie has no control over his death. Lennie was helpless and clueless to what was happening. They had to control and no say in what they thought about the situation.
Are Pit Bulls Really too Dangerous? “BSL is nothing more than breed profiling and as of yet it has not worked to curb the amount of serious dog attacks it was put in place to stop” (www.pitbulllovers.com, 2007).

Unfortunately Ralph, has been so focused on trying to lead the boys, thinking they would follow him simply because he was chief. He never quite realizes that there is an evil in the boys, as well as himself, that must be overcome with strong government and laws. Ralph's leadership, based simply on one vote and no real authoritative actions, has not been strong enough to lead the boys or to get the head to tell him the answers. Ironically, Simon, who did know the answers, is dead, killed when Ralph himself was taking part in the ritual
The narrator tries to prove how sane he really is before the reader has read enough to make any kind of judgment about him. The narrator is so scared of the old man's evil eye that he has decided to kill him just to get rid of the evil eye. The narrator admits to committing a senseless crime. The old man was never mean to him or treated him wrong. The old man had nothing of value that the narrator wanted.
this very discontent feeling would further add to the very isolation the Glaspell is trying to portray. How is anyone to feel connected when they much live with a foul personality? “He was a hard man” (Glaspell 181); “Like a raw wind that gets to the bone” (Glaspell 181). He gave his wife a dispirited sense of being.

As if he had no concern for what he did than if...if he had kicked a dog. No. He'd show more remorse over a dog." (p.150) "He wears those and soon he'll be as flat-footed and lazy as an Indian." (p.34) Ronnie Tall bear, “why a college didn’t snap up an athlete like Ronnie.
In the book Paul feels that they have no reason to be fighting and that they have been abated to beasts just trying to protect themselves from others who are doing the same. At such a young age him and his comrades are exposed to so much tragedy, Paul stated that “Our knowledge of life is limited to death, what will come afterwards? And what will happen to us” (264). For the soldiers who die fighting in the war it is unfair what becomes of them. People who died a noble death get treated as if they are nothing, and were never anyone.
However, as mighty as Friendly stands, he is not the only one with sovereignty. Mr. Upstairs turns onto him in a matter of seconds after watching the news. This shows us that in the game of power, there are no true friends, just the acquisition of more power and the defence of that power. 3rd paragraph The longshoremen live in fear and have long since given up the fight for their rights in order to survive.

ENG 102 24 April 2013 De Willy Loman's misconception of the American dream becomes an obsession that eventually ruins his life and effects his families in "Death of a Saleman". Willy Loman believed and taught his children, like much of society today, that looks and likeability will take one to the 'top' and hardwork and perservance seem to be a little less important. This way of thinking gives Mr. Loman nothing near success and money as he so badly desired along with two unsuccessful sons. It seemed like a 'dog eat dog' world in "Death of a Saleman" much like it is in reality world today. And while everyone lives to chase their dreams, only few actually make it there.
