When Victor's creation was made he says, "'When I looked around I saw and heard of none like me. Was I, the, a monster, a blot upon the earth from which all men fled and whom all men disowned?'" (105). It would not have taken much to help his creation but since he was afraid of causing problems he ended up causing a bigger
The IF lied to him and told him that it was just a game when it was not. He had been fighting the buggers since he had gotten to battle school. In a way Ender kind of is a killer and he feels like it sometimes. Ender feels that he is a killer, although he never wants to kill anyone. He accidently killed Stilson in the beginning of the book without knowing until chapter 15, because he kicked him so many times.
He didn’t want to lose his title as the best barber in town. The barber was a coward because if he had slaughtered Torres, then he would have saved the lives of many while only taking one. Torres was a man who killed a group of people called ‘rebels’ because of their beliefs of their culture. The barber would have only had to dispatch the Captain to set the lives of all the other rebels free. Take one look at another murderous fiend, Hitler.
A Tale of Two Kings The Hobbit and Arthurian legend are two of the most famous works of British literature. While Thorin Oakenshield may not be the main hero of The Hobbit, he and King Arthur are fairly similar. Joseph Campbell's basic steps of a typical hero's journey apply to both characters. The steps are based on years of literature and myth. People's values and beliefs about what makes a hero a hero are so common that Joseph Campbell was able to recognize the similarities between all the different stories and myths (Campbell Myth 4).
I was a target when I was young, both for my brothers and those who call themselves my friends. Secondly, we need to appreciate that everyone is important and valued for who they are. Prior to the challenge day, Tony had thought everyone was better than he. In result, Tony would bully them and put them down to help make himself feel better.

They are both selfish men, led by irrational motives. Macbeth killed a good king; he speaks greatly of Duncan when he reconsiders murdering Duncan due to his good heart; “Besides, this Duncan hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been so clear in his great office that his virtues shall plead trumpet-tongued against the deep damnation of his taking off. "(1.7.16-20) Macbeth also happened to be related to Duncan but that still didn’t stop him from murdering him and fulfilling his prophecy. Under Macbeth’s rule, people were in constant worry due to the numerous assassinations and experienced food shortages. The narrator in ATTH, killed because he claimed the old man’s eyes resembled that of a vulture’s and that he felt uncomfortable because he also claimed that whenever they fell on him, his “blood ran cold”.
We tried keeping the signal fire going but we couldn’t. And then you, playing at hunting…”(Golding 178). He is also probably mad because his tribe is all work and no play and he sees that it’s not fair that Jacks tribe is all play and no work. His emotion turns to anger for Jack because the main objective is to get rescued but Jack is too arrogant to want to work to make it happen. Anger is an important emotion because it leads to violence like in the death of Piggy, Simon, and the attempt to kill
The main cause to the battle was that Grendel was terrorizing and killing every one of the Danes, Grendel just would not leave the king alone. The battle had taken place in the land far from ours where the king laid his head at night; the castle was where everything happened. Grendel came at me with all his might we just fought and fought then he came at me again I took his hand and broke a finger then I guess that wasn’t enough so then I broke his arm. After I broke his arm he ran off to cry and die alone because I defeated him. The defeat of Grendel was basically everything to the king; Hrothgar had lost his honor, his kingdom, and his faith so when I came back to him with Grendel’s arm to hang to say he is dead was the priceless moment of happiness for the king and
These two stories, although very different content, have the same frame. Both heroes, although brave and heroic in their own ways, must rely on others in order to succeed. “Booze”, by Pinckney Benedict is a perfect example of a basic quest myth. While this story does not contain the glory, and the heroism as Beowulf, the protagonist carries out the responsibilities of a quest myth hero. The protagonist must find the courage to vanquish a beast that has burdened him since he was a young boy.
Jack never once asked Piggy for his ‘specs’ and every time had attempted and succeeded in taking them. Another example is when Jack and his tribe of savages hunt down Ralph without remorse or a second thought to their actions. They hunt him because Jack wanted him out of the way so he himself could become chief, Roger also said “See? I told you-he’s dangerous” (216). Ralph was only fighting back in self-defence but also had happened to injure one of the savages in his attempts to elude the boys.
