1.The old locks and lack of guards in the palace of corrective detention indicate that they believed that they never needed to have improved the security because they never expected for someone to think on their own like equality 7-2521. Naturally everyone wouldn’t even think about escaping due to the precautions taken if they were found. Equality 7-2521 doesn’t care for this all he cares for and that drives him is to be with the council of scholars. That’s how it was so easy for him to escape he thought about it on his own he believes that every can think on their own an no one thinks for another this is what allows equality to excel in life. 2. Ayn Rand contrasts about equality 7-2521 and the collective government by saying “they or we”
Chris decided to drift away from everybody. Choosing to be alone and not care about your family was arrogant of him. In chapter 12, Chris found out about his father living a double life. He decided to keep that a secret from everyone, including his father. For example,
He is certainly not a sheep that blindly follows everyone else. If he sees a problem or something he dislikes, he is not afraid to go against the grain. For example, he is displeased that the townspeople are told to give money to the church to help fix it and yet he sees golden candlesticks in the church. John would rather pray in the comfort of his own home than to go to the church where they beg for money but use it not on necessities, but on expensive things. It is clear that John does not like what the church has become which is why he refuses to baptize his third son.
As Guy Montag thinks about all that Clarisse stood for in her life, he realizes that the world cannot go on the way it is: with no value for life or nature. People didn’t care about starving countries, or deadly wars, or even real people. They were all blinded by an overly inoffensive atmosphere. Guy decides that he has to fix this, because Clarisse wasn’t like those people at all and she was the first person in years that he actually liked. He chooses to recruit the help of a retired professor in an attempt to open humanity’s eyes to the world around them, and all because of
My experience was significantly different from Rodriguez’s. His life at home and at school is even almost exactly opposite of my own. My family played a key part in my life whereas his was almost nonexistent. I believe he took the wrong path. He completely ignored his family to just work obsessively in school, but took absolutely nothing away from it because he was only working to be recognized, not to learn.
Mrs Grose reveals Quint was in charge of Bly until his death. “There were shrubberies and big trees, but I remember the clear assurance I felt that none of them concealed him. He was there or was not there: not there if I didn't see him.” “I found nothing at all, and he was therefore an angel. He never spoke of his school, never mentioned a comrade or a master; and I, for my part, was quite too much disgusted to allude to them. Of course I was under the spell, and the
Since everything is done according to the elders there is no way you can make a mistake in the community, so no discoveries are being made either. In Harrison Bergeron, the society is a distorted, dysfunctional dystopia. The people suffer greatly without knowing it because they cannot think for themselves. Society has gone wrong because advancements cannot be made, hope of a new ruler coming to set thing straight is gone, and the government lowers the standards to make everybody equal. Society becoming dystopia is an important subject because it is the one thing that people want to prevent from
We all went out to eat, hung out and it ended up being such a boring day outside of school. The next day none of us got into any trouble it was like no one even noticed. But the consequence that I suffered was that one class had an exam that I couldn’t make up and none of my other classes excepted any of my homework so I had to take all zeros for my work. Many kids feel pressure from their peers and make stupid decisions instead of being a leader and not a follower. In “Salvation” Hughes saw that nothing happened to the other boy and decided to follow him and ended up feeling extremely guilty because he really didn’t see Jesus.
Rob has no interest in those kind of sports or any sports at all, he is just doing them just to please his dad. As for Rob's dad Mr. Willison, he shouldn't have forced his son to do all these sports that he is not interested in and pressuring him. Mr. Willison's obsession of Rob doing all these things is making Rob tempting himself to lie about things, and its normal for a teenager to lie about things just to please their parents. The dominant reading is that Mr. Willison
He felt that they were uneducated therefore they had undesirable jobs and people treated them differently because of it. Rodriguez notes, “I was not proud of my mother and father. I was embarrassed by their lack of education” (55). Rodriguez goes on to say, “Simply, what mattered to me was that they were not like my teachers” (55). In the book Rodriguez takes every thing that his teachers say at face value and he never questions if perhaps they could be wrong or mistaken on subjects.
