| 2.) “...man reaches, stumbles forward, painfully, mistakenly sometimes. Having stepped forward, he may slip back, but only half a step, never the full step back. Fear the time when the bombs stop falling while the bombers live—for every bomb is proof that the spirit has not died. And fear the time when the strikes stop while the great owners live—for every little beaten strike is proof that the step is being taken.” | Pg.151 | This is one of my favorite quotes from the book.
Because he was so furious that Janie had done so, he responded by hitting her. “So he struck Janie with all his might and drove her from the store.” (Hurston 80) Jody wanted to prove that he was the one who had power. However, soon after Jody dies due to a disease. “The she starched and ironed her face, forming into just what people wanted to see, and opened up the window and cried, “Come heah people! Jody is dead.
“For I will preach and beg in various lands; I will not labor with my hands, or live by making baskets in order to keep from being an idle beggar.” (Beidler, “The Canterbury Tales.” 513) 2nd Thess 3:10 “For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either.” God doesn’t like busybodies that won’t put their hands to proper use. The curse of the Earth is that man will sweat and toil to provide himself with food. This curse is still in effect and the Pardoner thinks that he can get away from working. The Pardoner is interested in the base things of the world and not the honest things. The Pardoner likes drinking and sexual immorality.
M During breakfast Jim Casy is asked by the “granma”, who represents the pious, to give a prayer. But instead of a traditional prayer, Jim decides to speak out his mind and give his own theory, realisation about what it is to be “holy” : “I got thinkin’ how we was holy when we was one thing, an’ mankin’ was holy when it was one thing. An’ it on’y got unholy when one mis’able little fella got the bit in his teeth an’ run off his own way, kickin’ an’ draggin’ an’ fightin’. Fella like that bust the holi-ness. But when they’re all workin’ together, not one fella for another fella, but one fella kind of harnessed to the whole shebang—that’s right, that’s holy.” (l29-35 p.85) By those words Jim Casy explains that mankind is holy in itself, that we are great only when we work together as one, that mankind’s greatness isn’t about what it prays to God but what it does with what’s around him.
➢ It causes them horror as they are seeing someone being burned to death in agony yelling about the pain they are in. ➢ This could cause the others like Robert to feel like they should shoot their own soldiers to put them out of agony. ➢ The soldiers with the flamethrowers are seen as more
They stank and made the air smell rotten. “These two were made to suffer. Their wounds show days of torture.” He pointed to the x-rays, “If you look here, you can see their humerus bones are completely shattered along with their collar bones, but it was not done at the same time. Their bones were crushed over the course of about a week. On top of that, they had their lips cut off, and the wounds
His killing and torture of the people saddens both the king and all of the people; “Bloody footprints were found. That was bad enough, but the following
In Nathanial Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, the Puritanical code of justice circulates pain as a ‘machine of punishment, cursing those who break the law as well as those who uphold it; Hawthorne characterizes this in the conflict between the so-called law upholders and the ‘sinners’. In the book, the first to experience the pain of the code of justice is Hester; her sin against the code dooms her to be judged by her peers by her scarlet letter:” Throughout them all ,giving up her individuality ,she would become the general symbol at which the preacher and moralist might point, and in which they might vivify and embody their images of woman’s fragility and sinful passion.”(73)Hester’s sin ultimately condemns her to live a life as
“I drove them all three wailing”(966) Odysseus appoints the word “wailing” to illustrate the three men sobbing after eating the lotus. In the quote “when the young dawn with fingerprints of touched the world, I roused the men, gave orders to men, cast off morning lines”(978) he is describing the young dawn of fingerprints of rose. He is also showing his leadership. Finally as a result, Odysseus is a great commander in getting home safely. Furthermore, when he does reach home has to show his muscular strength again.
