This new and different discovery was weird for them to see because in their community they do not age. Lenina and Bernard also watched a community celebration that involved a man whipping himself. Lenina, so horrified from what she saw, reached into her pocket to use some soma but realized that she left it at the rest-house. She is so confused and terrified that Lenina starts to panic. “Lenina was left to face the horrors of Malpais unaided” (111).
Her dad took her away from the hospital without paying and soon after her mom was letting her cook again, as she called it, “Getting right back into the saddle.” At such a young age Jeannette didn’t take any anger out on her parents and soon took interest to fire. Soon after that thought the family had to pack their bags and leave again and do the “skedaddle” as their parents liked to call it. The parents were actually running away from bill collectors and guys that their dad owed money to. The father was an alcoholic and luckily wasn’t able to be one often because of the low money situation. However he was able to get a job almost anywhere, usually in small towns for side jobs, because of how convincing he could be.
Humans think too much about every decision they make, no matter if it’s big or small. Dillard’s experience with the weasel shows that it wasn’t thinking about anything, it was just staring at a creature that it probably never saw before and gave into curiosity. If humans made decisions like that everything would be rather different because we would just take the risk for something we’re determined to do. Likewise, Dillard states that it would be absolutely brilliant to think of a goal for yourself and don’t give up until it’s accomplished. We can see this when she says, “I think it would be well, and proper, and obedient, and pure, to ______ your one necessity and not let it go, to dangle from it _____ wherever it takes you.” Meaning that leaving mindlessly and by oneself’s necessities, just focusing on that,
She uses her imagery to describe her everyday struggles and show relativity. She tells how her family, coworkers, and students accepts her and doesn’t find her as “predicament”. As stated above, her use of imagery really gives the audience a vivid picture of her daily struggles—“So many movements unbalanced me, and as I pulled the door open I fell over backward, landing fully clothed on the toilet seat with my legs splayed in front of me.” Overall, I believe that the text is trying to make the readers understand a new and divergent perspective of “cripple

The Puritan community in The Crucible was vulnerable in many ways and susceptible to irrational and panicky accusations of the Salem Witch Hunts because of their strict and constricting ways. The children in the community are treated very poorly and less than everyone else in the town. As the Salem Witch Hunts were essentially started by the children the fact that they were treated as lesser beings contributed to the communities demise. “He (Reverend Parris) regarded them as young adults, an until this strange crisis he, like the rest of Salem, never conceived that the children were anything but thankful for being permitted to walk straight, eyes slightly lowered, arms at their sides, and mouths shut until bidden to speak,” (Miller 3). Miller foreshadows the Witch Hunts to come.

In this story, the towns people potrayed just that: weakness against change. There were many reasons for this falter, and in this particular situation: the older generation was stagnant when it came to breaking the unlawful tradition. The reason the town followed the tradition was for no other reason than it was what they had always known. Old Man Warner, the oldest man in town, said “There’s always been a lottery”(2). When Mrs. Adams said “some places have already quit lotteries”(2), Old Man Warner responded by saying “nothing but trouble in that… Pack of young fools”(2).

Acquiescence, violence, and nonviolence are the ways to handle the oppressors. One way that Dr. King opposes in his essay, is acquiescence. The oppressed people are downhearted to accept and endure their lives as inferiors. King does not accept this method due to increase great self-importance to the oppressors, and end the future of the oppressed people’s descendants. The film Iron jawed Angels, the worker ignored Lucy Burns’s speech for organizing a parade to promote woman’s suffrage because she did not want her employer to be upset and fired her.
