Although it all depends on the situation, I manage to make things happen and not wait for the “flow” to take control of what goes on in my life. It’s a dog eat dog world, people will hurt anyone for their own benefit and a person shouldn’t let anyone walk over them.

His mothers parental monitoring was too much, she never let Ed do anything and always kept him hidden. The influence of his brother putting down there mother, who Ed worshipped was another factor in his downfall. Skinner’s Theory of Behavior: Gein never received any positive reinforcement Antisocial personality disorder (APD): This is a disorder Ed had because he failed to conform to the norms of society.

Who Shot Mr.Burns 09/26/11 Barney Gumble- Innocence A minor character has not been suspected/ been evident.

Another reason their relationship is dangerous is that if John Procter were to prosecute against Abigail Williams saying that she is in fact a witch, Abigail Williams could very easily tell the entire town that she and Procter have been having an affair to get revenge on him. It wouldn’t really affect her too much, but on the contrary, it would ruin his reputation in the town and his relationship with his wife. Later in Act I, Abigail is being “interrogated” by Reverend Hale and she claims “I never sold myself! I’m a good girl! I’m a proper girl!” (Miller 40) in this statement, Abigail is defending herself that she never sold herself to the devil.
John Steinbeck made the plot interesting and the themes behind the work were truly brilliant. The book had its points were they were very descriptive but didn’t keep me interested enough. Reading through those boring parts is completely worth it though. Steinbeck makes the book easy to understand and i like that quality a lot about this book. In my opinion, I got the idea that this book was written more for the workings of the mind but at the same time Steinbeck wanted to make you feel something as you read this.
I felt like giving somebody a buzz. I left my bags right outside the booth so that I could watch them, but as soon as I was inside, I couldn’t think of anybody to call up... Then I thought of giving Jane Gallagher’s mother a buzz and find out when Jane’s vacation started, but I didn’t feel like it. Besides, it was pretty late to call up. Then I thought of calling this girl I used to go around with quite frequently, Sally Hayes... but I was afraid her mother’d answer the phone” (59) Holden knows he wants to call someone, but ends up interdicting all his options. The proof is evident as with every name Holden thinks of, he can find a good reason in his opinion not to call them.
She begins talking to them and calls them “bindle-stiffs.” Eventually Crooks had enough of her and stood up for himself “You got no rights comin’ in a colored man’s room… get out quick” (88). She quickly retaliates saying he needs to shut his mouth and keep in his place; she could get him hanged easily. Crooks immediately loses hope of a new life with Lennie and candy. He enters back into his emotional isolation. “Crooks had reduced himself to nothing” (89).
He immediately begins attacking Hester, pestering her with questions and statements such as, "Thou wilt not reveal his name? Not the less he is mine," resumed he, with a look of confidence, as if destiny were at one with him. "He bears no letter of infamy wrought into his garment, as thou dost, but I shall read it on his heart”(83). Chillingworth tries to shame Hester into telling him the truth. He does not know her lover is Dimmesdale at this point so he can only go to Hester and hold the letter above her head, taunting her in a sense, in the hope that she will give in and say the name.
At the beginning of the book George tells Lennie to come back to the place where they were staying so they could meet up in case anything happened. This also foreshadows what happens on later in the book. After Lennie does actually kill Curley’s wife he runs to the place where they talked about. George finds him and he could either make the decision to kill Lennie or runaway before the other men find the two of them. George is a courageous person in the sense that he has to make all of the decisions on whether to kill Lennie, would it be right, or should they just forget about it and move on.
He realizes that there is no clear cut enemy in war: “the enemy is anybody who’s going to get you killed.” It occurs to Yossarian that if he is going to pursue his right to life, he will have to worry about Colonel Cathcart trying to kill him as well as the Germans. However, a soldier should not have to be alarmed that his allies are trying to organize his demise. The fact that he is apprehensive serves to expose the flaws in the concept of war we currently hold. Had Snowden’s death not occurred, Yossarain may never come to this
