After Antigone is confronted by the guard and brought to Creon she explains to him what she knows is morally right, “I did not think anything which you proclaimed strong enough to let a mortal override the gods and their unwritten and unchanging laws” (338). In this quote, she is trying to harn Creon that although he thinks very highly of himself, he will never be able to anything to disrupt the gods and their unwritten laws (being that all men deserve burial). Additionally, the word choice and tone used by the characters also differs.

Going along with the literary technique of naturalism, the fact that Lennie has a mental disability is because that is how he was born. There is nothing you can do that can change your heredity, and people judge Lennie on that all the time.

Nick Carraway’s passive nature leads to the many mishaps in the novel, which stresses the idea that not being evil does not necessarily make someone a good person. “I’m inclined to reserve all judgements” (1) Nick states at the beginning of the novel, which instantly sets up his passivity. His passiveness sparks complications early on, such as when Tom takes Nick to meet Myrtle in secret. Nick tags along because he “had nothing better to do” (24) and seems to have little qualms about the fact that Tom is cheating on Daisy openly.

Human nature is not something that can be taught it 's a natural instinct. Winston 's natural instinct rose up and persuaded him to question the party, and although the party eventually oppressed those feelings, it proves that their is hope for the future of mankind. Although Winston failed, it doesn 't mean that mankind will always fail. If people have learned anything from history its that nothing lasts forever, although the party has done anything and everything in their power to protect themselves from future takeovers, no system will work one hundred percent of the time.

Manhattan Project Texts One advantage of Truman’s approach was Stalin asked no questions. When Truman told Stalin about the new weapon, “all he said was he was glad to hear it and hope we would make “good use of it against the Japanese”.” This was good for the Americans because they wouldn’t have to share their secrets of producing the atomic weapons.

The US-Soviet relations could still be ruined though since Truman never told him the full truth about what type of weapon they had.

Sophocles revisits Oedipus’s past experience with the Sphinx to show his mentality of how he believes that he can do it all himself and he doesn’t need the gods help or anyone else 's help either. If he believes that he can do it all himself this creates suspension about what it to come for Oedipus in the future. This mentality shows how stubborn and how close minded he is.
