There are many aspects between the monster and Victor, but in many ways, are different. The monster enjoys these same pleasures of nature while he is in his emotional exile. He chose to stay in the wilderness while becoming acquainted with humans. The wilderness around him “was enough to maintain his spirits, even through the persecution.” Just as it did for Victor, nature is able to hold the monster together through his struggles. This relationship for nature is shared most ardently between these two.
Explain Lindow Mans Death The numerous wounds found on the body of Lindow man suggest his death was by ritual sacrifice. The fact that Lindow man was sacrificed during a time of climatic change, suggest his death was an appeal to the Gods to bring prosperity to his people’s crops. Lindow man’s social status also supports the fact that he was sacrificed, along with his nakedness and the contents of his stomach. The conclusion that Lindow man’s death was by ritual sacrifice is also supported by the fact that he was found in a bog, with injuries similar to other bog bodies found within close proximity of Lindow man. The bog that Lindow man was found in, displayed evidence for human activity, due to the findings of pollen from cereals and land clearance weeds.
While reading, feelings of anger towards the man’s actions are developed. When the man tried to kill the snake, he “reached into the paper-bag bush with [his] hoe, hacking about, soon [dragging the snake] out of it with his back broken.” Although the reader may condole with the man’s decisions since it was for a reasonable cause, he should not have killed the snake since he was clearly inexperienced (expressed by the word “hacking”). The man could have just as easily shoed the snake away with the hoe rather than using it so ineptly. The man could have found an alternative way to rid the area of the snake and when he doesn’t, the reader is disappointed because he thinks there’s no other possible action that can be made. The man states that “[his] duty was to kill the snake.” When the man uses the word “duty” it gives a sense that there are no other options and that it’s imperative that he does it.
Malik Grant Mr.Womack 11-27-12 World Lit. Death Speech The great question of our existence is not who is worthy of life, but rather, who among us is worthy of death. The events leading to Caesar's death were the accumulation of power by Caesar. The senate flattered him with honors that no other man in Roman history was given and more were in the works. Caesar was offered a crown and although he refused it, some thought he was not sincere.
Its pretty screwed up because he kills people like the like goats and doesn’t care. I truly think he might be insane and does it for fun. 3. I don’t know I expected him to do an ambush, that’s what I would of done. But Zarrof did do his share of the game and Rainsford didn’t ambush because he didn’t want to make a huge commotion and did not want to kill them 4.
However Candy later regrets letting Carlson shoot his dog for him as he says ….. “I shouldn’t ought to of let no stranger shoot my dog”- The shooting of the dog foreshadows the death of lennie. Candy’s final comment about the dog truly influences George’s decision to kill Lennie. Later George will shoot Lennie to spare him from the unbridled violence of candy. For both, death is to be seen as a merciful release.
In O’Brien’s ‘How To Tell A True War Story’, the story he tells us about Rat Kiley shooting the baby water buffalo both disturbs and intrigues. The act itself is without a doubt horrific, but it does not elicit a response of disgust. The question itself remains however, why did he shoot the buffalo in the first place? Rat’s actions were not random, pointless cruelty, but are in fact indicative of a much deeper, more complex emotional state. We must eliminate several more obvious answers first, but we can find that Rat Kiley is trying to reconcile what he is feeling with the situation he finds himself in.
Zaroff and Rainsford are on the same page when it comes to hunting animals; they do not view hunting as morally wrong. However, they hold extremely opposite opinions on that of hunting man. Rainsford becomes appalled by General Zaroff when he
Luckily, you and I are hunters.” This quote shows that Rainsford thinks that violence is perfectly fine when hunting animals and Zaroff would agree with the quote as well. Why do you think Rainsford chooses to confront Zaroff at the end, instead of ambush him? 7a: I think he does this to rub it in to Zaroff because Zaroff was so sure that he would win the game because he wins every game he faces. Also Rainsford wanted to show how terrible it is for humans to be killed and do it himself to show Zaroff that evil always comes back to haunt you. 8.How do time and place affect the actions of the
The chapter ends with O'Brien telling us what followed Lemon's death: when the unit comes across a baby water buffalo. Rat Kiley, encompassed with anger and gloom due to his friend’s death, shoots the baby buffalo consistently, yet does not fully kill it. These stories reveal that a true war story, is never about war; but rather these stories are about love, memory, and sorrow. More importantly though, we learn that not all true war stories are true. They are what we make them out to be: consisting of fragments of the imagination mixed with some
