Holden is still a very childish and juvenile individual and his reluctance –even perhaps fear- of growing up, changing, and accepting his behaviour is wrong leaves him unable to cope with society. This unwillingness prevents him from ever being a part of the adult world, eventually placing
Transcendentalism A whole month of being nice, from the start, I didn't think it was even humanly possible. Although I always try my hardest to be pleasant, I'm sarcastically witty by nature. This project, no matter how inspirational and uplifting it could be, would decidedly be no walk in the park. Nevertheless, I decided to persevere. Even if I ended up being a complete transcendental failure, maybe I'd still learn something along the way.
Fighting is never the answer. Greasers have always had it the hard way but when they stick together things turn out to be okay. (compound sentence) They all have hearts of stone.

I am not comfortable with her in this house any longer and even furthermore she does not do her job properly look at this house it is a mess and yet she is nowhere to be found. John: I don’t believe that is fully necessary but if that is what you want then fire her. Elizabeth: No John, I wish for you to do it, prove to me that you love me and not her. Fire her now John. John: Fine but this is it.
Young children can be self conscious they can think, but they don’t think about thinking. Self consciousness is exacerbated by the Imaginary Audience. Teens feel that a group of people are always watching and judging them on everything that they do.

There is no room for books in her life, and she ends up turning Montag in to the authorities. She is the perfect example of a mindless drone without individuality or feeling. Fahrenheit 451 is an example of a dystopian society. Individuality, reading, and intelligence aren’t accepted in society. Brown says, “As a result, society has become vapid, more interested in mindless entertainment than knowledge, understanding, and critical thought, and the ability to discern between two fundamental documents has no place.” Taking literature away did not make all people the same; it just made them without thoughts and feelings of their
It takes many years for someone to be fully persuaded and for that length of time you have nothing to do in here.” “Joanna, we need to leave now” “Before you leave, I need you to take one of my hands and take me outside.” “Why would we do something like that when you just got our boyfriends to kill themselves?” Joanna thought. “Joanna, they have been coming here for months to talk to me.

I was certain that I would never go back to THAT camp and more importantly, ANY camp ever again. I told myself that I had outgrown camp. My mother's vision and persistence, however, changed my life forever. My mother
Socrates’ Homework ! Katie Scha Professor Held Western Civilization 27 September 2012 Schaefer 1 “ The unexamined life is not worth living” 1. Socrates’ famous dictum “the unexamined life is not worth living” means that without leaving your comfort zone in life you aren't experiencing anything new, in my opinion thats the worst way to live life. The text exemplifies the dictum by first explaining how the prisoners live life, since childhood they have bound and unable to move in any way.
