It makes the reader wonder if Eckels will come back from the safari alive if at all, is delivers the theme by making the think about and know about Eckels nervousness foreshadowing his doom. It makes the reader feel like they know something bad will happen but want to keep reading to find out what, Bradbury does this to hook the reader in and keep them guessing.

Maya Bassett English 131 28 March 2013 Ignorance Is Bliss “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” and “Harrison Bergeron” are both dystopian stories depicting utilitarian societies where human suffering must occur in order to uphold their social structures. Each is a parable about extremism with a central figure key to maintaining the equilibrium of these societies. The authors pose questions about freedom and equality while exploring suppression, ignorance, and apathy. In Ursula Le Guin’s science fiction short story, “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas,” the town is filled with happiness, joy, and freedom. Although to maintain this utopia, a single innocent child suffering from malnutrition and neglect must be locked away from society so the others may enjoy their freedom.
Following on from this Nick highlights that he will not judge a person before he has the chance to learn more about the individual. Although hypocritically passes judgement in the same paragraph as he describes the veterans as ‘bores’, by doing this Nick caraway starts to form an unreliable but considerate narrator as he tries to prove to the reader that he doesn’t pass judgements but as the readers are able to see through him, he gives off a prejudiced outlook. In Addition, setting is a huge importance in chapter 1 as the readers are able to learn a background reflection of Nick. Nick talks about the Middle Western city as being old fashioned, dull and tedious as he is unable to reach his American dream. Nick describes the Middle West as the ‘warm centre of the world’ the adjective ‘warm’ depicts that the Midwest is too comfortable for him and that he will be unable to pursue his American dream.
In Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain shows Huck as someone who pushes away harmful people but also brings closer those he sees as being good. Huck joins in the drama of Jim’s life because he cares about Jim not being “sold down the river”(11). We can also see that Huck does everything possible to stay out of harm way while dealing with Jim’s well being. This is easily seen when looking at his relationship with Jim versus his relationship with the King and Duke, and the comparison he makes between them and pap. Huck’s relationship with the king and duke begins as an adventure, “the first thing that come out was that these chaps didn’t know one another” (154); Twain, when explaining how they ended up on the canoe with Huck, never truly tells whether or not they knew each other before meeting Huck.
The possible overall idea is one of the potential for life if the war would end, but it can not end because of the King. 4. Passage 138-141 The dominant voice in the passage is of the younger Frederic. He seems to be loving yet frightful and almost doubtful of the life and the future. Fredic s duality is seen in how he is talking about staying happy in lofe with Catherine and then has a pessimistic view on the future and on the war anding.
This is why I believe lines 1-52 should be kept, as they are sufficient to show the audience the theme, and a major plot development. Lines 52-71, as I believe, may be eliminated from the play. It is continuous rambling from Polonius, and unnecessary for the production. Polonius is just [providing further advice] to Reynaldo, and it is not necessary, as it will become repetitive to the audience. Lines 53-55 only depict Polonius as being an idiot, for he loses his chain of thought.
The aim of life is self-development. To realize one's nature perfectly - that is what each of us is here for." (20) The irony of Lord Henry saying this, is that he will eventually corrupt Dorian. He tells him this, but Dorian does not pay attention to the warning, and wants to hear more of Lord Henry's addicting sayings. Harry's theories act like a slow poison: They get into you, start reacting, and slowly but surely, they destroy you.
Later in their friendship, we start to see that Lord Henry is merely stirring thoughts that Dorian already had inside of himself and was just afraid to let them be known. Lord Henry is also the person that leads Dorian into his New Hedonistic ways. It’s relevant that Dorian becomes aware of the new Hedonism in chapter 2 when Lord Henry says, “No, you don’t feel it now…there is absolutely nothing in the world but youth!” Dorian starts to realize that he is a good-looking man and he should start to take advantage of it. Dorian Gray’s eyes become further open to the New Hedonism when Lord Henry begins to say that the only good thing to do is seek out the pleasures in life and to not live by morality. One should do what ever one thinks feels is good.
Kingshaw can tell he is scared but, unlike Hooper, does not want to insult when he is already weak. Susan Hill writes “If he had been vindictive, this was his chance with Hooper. But he was not. He did not much care, one way or the other, so long as he was left alone.” Kingshaw erects a makeshift shelter and comforts Hooper as best as he can. He thinks that now Hooper's fears have been exposed, their relationship will be
“ Well miss, it sounds ungrateful, but I can’t deny I should welcome a little outing once, before I get too old to enjoy it” because like Mr Loveday said the very next sentence, “ I expect we all have our secret ambitions” we as humans all have our little dirty secrets which we dare not speech of and neither realize them if our time has not come. The time for Mr.Loveday to realize his ambition has come when he is let out of “ his world” . He is always a good person when being kept within his circle but he does wrong when he has a chance to do wrong . Therefore, we should try keep people within their community so that they can show their best.Never let them out of place othewise we have to pay. Second, The “ outside” world is full of insanity.Judging by the common sense, Mr Loveday is a mad man in our normal world .
