This staple of his beliefs is why he doesn't fear death, but in fact looks forward to it. By escaping he is committing an unjust act against the state, and committing unjust acts ruins the soul. With a ruined soul there is no point in living life as the soul is the only important thing, not the body. Therefore the most important thing is not only living life, but living a just life. While Socrates arguments may be sound in his opinion, I'm not sure if I agree with them.
At the beginning him and his family had no problem with fasting. Fasting is when you go without all food. But by the end his dad said no to him fasting in the camp. The week does not last long at the concentration camps. His belief was off and on through out the book.
Out there. You said you would keep the fire going and you let it out!’ He took a step towards Jack, who turned and faced him ‘They might have seen us. We might have gone home-‘... ‘You and your blood Jack Merridew! You and your hunting! We might have gone home-‘” (Golding p. 91) Jack is completely oblivious to the fact that it is completely his fault they didn’t get rescued that day, all he can think to say is “we need meat.” If he would have done
He got to his house and Joel took him up to his room ere they could talk in private. Joel didn’t have much time to talk because it was almost supper but Joel still doesn’t know about the job because they were talking about Samson while they were in his room. At supper they ate in peace but then Joel’s dad started to question him he blew and went on a tangent about the Romans and got kicked out of the house and didn’t complete his mission. Daniel was embarrassed and angry that he had failed so on his way back he ran into a roman while drinking water and Daniel gave the horse water and gave the man the same water so he kicked the bowl out of his hand. That made Daniel furious so he hurled the bowl at the Romans face and dashed away but while he was running he got nicked with a spear and hid in house for a while.
When a dilemma arises, my responsibility is to support individuals or their families to make informed choices. Even if I disagree with their decision, I can only give advice but can not force them. If an individual is willing to do something that involves some risk, I have to support people to make informed choices. Totally avoiding risks would limit individual’s choices and opportunities and it can lead to dependency and depression. I have to act in the person’s best interest but instead of encouraging them to avoid risks I have to support them and enable them to taking part in activities.
Nothing could ever make up for all the bad things Sonny does but at least he does somewhat realize the bad things he does. If he did not realize his bad deeds, he wouldn’t be telling Cologero not to be like him. I know that Sonny has trust issues but that does not affect him being a good person or not. Sonny’s having trust issues is just his way of trying to protect himself from getting taken advantage of, and keep control. The reason why he has these trust issues is probably because he was taken advantage of in the past, and does not want it to happen again.
Next morning when Elie found out his father got took away, he didn't weep anymore. Next few days, Elie said, “from time to time, I would dream. But only about soup, an extra ration of soup” (113). He didn’t do anything for his father because his father such as a huge weight to him, so Elie needs to get over his
Then Ralph said the words that ‘struck them into silence’ “There was a ship.” When it had finally sunk in (no pun intended) that although they finally had food, they let the chance of rescue slip though their fingers. Another point in which Ralph shows good initiative is on the second page where Jack attempted to give an excuse about how they needed the food, Ralph turned and said, “You could’ve had everyone when the shelters were ready”. By saying this, Ralph made it clear to Jack and the other boys that they had no excuse for what happened. Ralph stood his ground when he would have normally just let Piggy take the conch then take the abuse afterwards. Similarly, Golding used characterisation to develop the reader’s perception and opinion of Jack.

Despite that deaths like this are commonly caused by freak incidents, he feels that if his attention had been focused on the war at the very moment Lavender died instead of the girl whose love he can never obtain, he could have prevented this loss of life. As a result of his remorse, Cross decides to remove all distractions he possibly can and “[burns] Martha’s letters [followed by] the two photographs” (O’Brien 23) of her. It is Lavender’s unexpected death that helps Lieutenant Cross recognize his responsibility to his men who are counting on him to direct them around the perils of Vietnam. When he is contemplating how to alter his tactics of leadership for the better, he reminds “himself that his obligation [is] not to be loved but to lead]” (O’Brien 26). By doing this, Lieutenant Cross demonstrates that he has the ability to learn from his past mistakes and improve his accountability to lead his men to
