Huck had a good nature, but he was raised in the southern society that had a deformed conscience about African Americans. As Huck and Jim arrived in Cairo, he has to choose whether to keep his promise of his friend to send him into freedom, or to turn him in as a inferior runaway slave. Huck made the decision to not turn Jim in, going against what the society had taught him to do. Although he still felt guilty doing so, he thought that bringing Jim into freedom was the right thing to do: “I will go to hell.” (207, Twain).

Oedipus was a king who was controlled by his emotions dramatically, but he was still in control of his actions. Although Oedipus had the choice of making his actions; he was not responsible for what his actions led him to, fate worked in a twisted way to teach him and those around him that there’s no escape from it, because fate is unchangeable, predestined and a destination. Each person has a purpose to live for, like the story in the holy Quran about the prophet Yousef whose brothers tried to get rid of and keep him away from their father because he was his dad’s favorite and was chosen by God to be a prophet. Even

This allusion to the Bible recreates the hurt Cain felt when God rejected his gift, however just as Abel did, Adam sacrifices much of his time and money to get his father a gift. Although, Adam did sacrifice much of what he had for the gift, it was for the wrong reasons. This situation conveys that Adam values what his father thinks, but it does not lead to his happiness because it was done selfishly. As he grows older Adam joins the military, as his father wants him to, but he gives up what he wants for his future. Although, this is a sacrifice he does not do it because he loves his father, but rather he wants his father to love him.

When Tam Lin decided to bomb the building, he chooses to neglect that others who might die. Feeling guilty for his actions, he set his fate to hate himself.

Slaves are people who are forced into labor against their will therefore slaves did not build the pyramid considering pyramids were built to honor the Pharaoh thus the Pharaoh would most likely want his pyramid to be built with honor and there is no way the slaves honor the pharaoh. Document A supports this by quoting; ¨He compelled the men to work.¨ In The Prince of Egypt, they did not even see of slaves as human therefore if slaves assisted in builded the pyramid they would have written ¨He compelled the men and slaves to work.¨ Instead of it saying men.

People also assumed that ‘family love’ did not exist in African American’s family. However, one of the episodes, Theo, the son, reveals, “If you want a doctor I wouldn’t love you less because you’re my dad….. Maybe you can just accept who I am and love me anyway because I’m your son.” This one simple quote changed people’s mind altogether. ‘The Cosby Show’ altered people’s mind with stereotypes against African American that they would use uneducated English and drugs and behave illegally.

When Huck and Jim first encounter each other, Huck plays many pranks on Jim because he believes what society has told him about slaves. As the story unfolds, however, Huck goes against society’s rules and

Everyone has different definitions of a hero and different standards for what makes someone a hero. As stated George Orwell’s definition is ordinary people doing whatever they can to change social systems that do not respect human decency, even with the knowledge that they cannot possibly succeed.

Zeus was as cruel as God, and they invariably thought of themselves, and considered their life insignificant. In the bible, God punished people who didn’t believed in him, even took their life.

The strong power .doesn’t mean they can hurt others, which makes think of officers.

He 's the King, I tell you¨ (Lewis 86). In The King James Version of the Bible, the Israelites feared God because of what He had done to them in Egypt but did not understand His goodness in His promise for freedom (Wann 2). Wann continues to say that if the Israelites just believed in both

Equality succeeds in finding happiness and meaning in life by learning to be an individual and taking risks that no one in his society dared to do

This quote is not spoken, but instead is a thought that passes through Jack’s mind about something Willie said earlier in the chapter. Willie told Jack and Adam that Hugh Miller wanted the one thing that he could not inherit: goodness. He then goes on to explain that humans cannot inherit goodness because they are inherently bad. Since humans are inherently bad, everything good must come from bad. Humans must use their badness in order to create some form of goodness.

People of color who grow up in America believe that their race/culture is not important because they are ashamed of there culture. People of color try to hide who they really are to fit into other races. This relates to me, because I am arabic and not a lot of people like arabs because they think i am a terrorist and i am going to bomb them.

If the world state allowed the people freedom they wouldn’t be able to hide the truth from then. This demonstrates a problem with the brave new world and is a reoccurring problem with totalitarian states because people will never be as happy as they could be without freedom.
