In the story there are many instances in which Bartleby refuses to do as instructed by the lawyer his explorer. I feel sympathy for the lawyer because it must be hard to deal with an insubordinate good worker. Bartleby does his work that he wants to do well. The lawyer is in a tight spot because he has two other copiers Turkey and Nippers who were employed before Bartleby and hear him disrespect the lawyer. I could imagine if I were them I would be thinking look at this new guy challenging the boss and doing it in a polite but direct way.
Her belief becomes real in the next few minutes when two other black men carjack them. Another example from the movie is Cultural based theories of prejudice. The character Farhad believes that since he is Persian he is being persecuted against and cheated, because he believes that everyone who is middle-eastern is not welcome in America especially after the events of 9/11. When he was in the gun shop, and the owner of the gun shop was rude to him, he becomes angry and makes a scene, based on the listed beliefs and fears that he has. Another example is when Farhad calls for a locksmith to fix his shop door.
He reveals that he has stolen around twenty books, which he hides behind the air conditioning grill. Even the dull Millie understands the seriousness of her husband’s offense and immediately moves to burn his books. He, however, is able to stop her. He also tries to explain to her how his job is wrong, but his thinking is right; Millie cannot understand his explanation. The suspense that Bradbury has created in the novel about the unknown is now replaced with suspense about the consequences of Montag’s actions.
Anderson was disturbed and antagonised by the other soldiers who were bursting through the door singing as well as being drunk and talking about prostitutes. Throughout the novel, Anderson was complaining at the cursing of the men from the height of the shelling. The soldier’s experience of shelling makes the hellfire threats of the preachers seem empty and insignificant. Anderson also believes he can predict the end of the war by reading the Book of Revelation and his faith does not reassure him.
Weir highlights this through costuming, for example, when Book wears Jacob’s (Rachel’s dead husband) clothes. The full shot of Book wearing the ill-fitting clothes, coupled with his uncomfortable facial expression, demonstrates his unsuccessful attempts at being completely accepted in the Amish community. His intruding presence in their community is symbolised by the act of his car knocking into the birdhouse, emphasising the disruption of harmony and peace. His stay with the Amish teacher Book that violence is not the key to solving problems, and competes with his rival Daniel for the affections of Rachel. However, his supreme ordeal is defeating the enemy, which he successfully accomplishes at the end, as shown by the close up shot the group of
Furthermore, the 10th Juror’s angry monologue at the end of ACT II, he demonizes people who are ‘different’. He reinforces McCarthyism by saying ‘get him before his kind gets us’. Later, he openly admits ‘I don’t give a goddamn about the law’. This evokes shock in the audience because of his disrespect for justice. This bitter diatribe leads to a narrative turning point when the 4th Juror angrily turns against his former ally and tells him to not open his ‘filthy mouth’ again.
Although the line, “no-one had got around to fixing it up yet”, shows that he is still seeing everything as a product that has the potential to be fixed. The fifth stanza has an angry tone as Dawe describes people as being “godless, money-hungry, backstabbing and miserable”. In this stanza, his childhood ends and he enters adulthood, this is shown through the line “goodbye stars and soft cries in the corner”, the once innocent child has now become a greedy business man who is selfish and ruthless. In stanza six, his wife (Alice), is driving him home from a not so good dinner party, as he is angry and getting annoyed with his wife, “now take it easy on those curves, Alice, for God’s sake…” they crash. His last words “watch it” demonstrates the irony of being a product, as if to watch it on
this arrogance by Birling is shown through his lack of care for his family and his priories are climbing the social ladder and stopping a public scandal.

By asking society to reject their blindness, the narrator does not realize that he, too, would have to do so as well. In the beginning of the novel, the narrator (who insists on being nameless) is walking down the street when he ran into a white male who called him an insulting name. Instead of ignoring the confrontation and continuing onward, the narrator decides to beat the man up--kicking, punching and nearly killing him (Ellison 4-5). The following morning, the newspaper headline reads that the male was mugged, and this infuriates the narrator (Ellison 5). He now feels like he is invisible for the fact that his side
