It is obvious that he has betrayed his principles but he has not become as engagé in the war as Pyle. During the novel we learn that Fowler’s main principle is his detachment. This is incredibly important for Fowler along with his ability to deal with external things and not his own thoughts and feelings and the fact that he has “no real opinion about anything”. He tries to hide his expressions of emotions and opinions from those around him particularly Phuong and Pyle. He is very quick to correct himself if he believes he is beginning to take a side or become involved.
He continues to believe that one person can make a difference and those actions will change principle. However, if an individual leads and no one follows, then one must at least refuse to condone the evil and must withhold one’s vote or expedience. Thoreau claims, "If I devote myself to other pursuits and contemplations, I must first see, at least, that I do not pursue them sitting on another man's shoulders" (p. 969, Thoreau). By all means, noncompliance was Thoreau's preferred approach to most social injustice. All together, if one did not follow a leader’s actions for justice and passively accepted the majority vote, that individual should remove themselves from the undemonstrative submissive
Passage Analyzed: Part _2__, Page __39-40__ Begins “It wasn’t nothing…” and ends with “hardly ever a nice fella…” DIDLS Overview: D: denotative and informal language conveying how George is arguing with Slim about Lennie. I: “seems kinda funny why you are traveling with a cukoo like him” shows how Slim doesn’t understand why George is doing this, and goes to show what he thinks of the “cukoo,” Lennie. D: “He ain’t no cukoo” conveys how George feels about Lennie. Yes he is very stupid, but George won’t let anyone say anything rude about his friend like that because even though he is dumb, he can’t help it. L: George uses restatement a lot to try and get his point across to Slim about how great Lennie is even thought he is dumb, because George loves him so much.

By not taking into account the historical precedents we are reducing the weight of racism and believing it is only based on prejudice on the individual level, something that I believe happens in my family. My father has always been proud to say that “I am not a racist because I never did anything racist towards anybody and have avoided that as much as possible; I have made an effort to treat people of others races with the upmost respect and disapprove of others who do not do so”. So I would think “yes, he is not racist and those other people are racists” According to the book, these are textbook procedures and it also stresses the importance of intentionality, something we have fallen for too. My father and myself would think “I have never intentionally committed a racist act so I am not racist and those who do so are racists” Again, these are textbook attitudes; but, what about the non intentional actions? We hide on the aspect of intentionality to make ourselves believe we are not racist but there are many other actions or beliefs that are implying bias and
Peter shows how he hates work, so the key to his happiness is just not going. Although he Peter was all for his own happiness, Milton began to think in a similar further into the film. This caused the two characters to butt heads. Milton told Peter he would not turn down his radio volume, basically just because it made him happy. A line from Self Reliance by Emerson tells that “their rage is decorous and prudent, for they are timid, as being vulnerable themselves.” Milton’s lack of timidity helped him gain his personal happiness therefore exemplifying transcendentalism.
I’m sure they did not want another Spartacus. Here however the romans actually tried not to kill Christians, which was easier said than done. Christians were only too willing to be martyred as it was the quickest way to heaven. “Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in Heaven…” Rome was not stupid.
These traits exhibited when he forgives Elka for her infidelities and realizes how much he cares for Elka and the baby: "A longing took over me, for her and for the child. I wanted to be angry, but that's my misfortune exactly, I don't have it in me to be
Many led to the downfall of Dorian Gray; however, the main reasons are Lord Henry’s influence, the idea of Hedonism, and Dorian’s conscience. Lord Henry’s intentions to influence Dorian are evident in chapter 1 when Basil says, “Don’t try to influence him. Your influence would be bad.” Basil knows that Lord Henry’s influence is going to be primarily negative and knows that Dorian is going to become infatuated by him. This ignites Dorian’s flame for Lord Henry; he sees this as a challenge. 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.
“ 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” .
