Jack's Madness Analysis

The way he saw fit to still help his fellow brother in arms was to make a more effective weapon that would work in all conditions. Along with the testing the Kalashnikov went through before it would get sent to troops. One thing that really caught my attention was he really did not get recognized for his efforts until much later, while the maker of the M16 was recognized almost immediately with little testing done on performance. Really makes you see the difference in culture.

General Zaroff first proves this when he says, "The weak of the world were put here to give the strong pleasure" (Connell 7). General Zaroff has been hunting his whole life and it has become just an easy game he plays. Although General Zaroff loved hunting, he wanted a challenge so he looked for a new animal to be his game. General Zaroff finally says the only animal capable of his preferences are humans when he says, "It must have courage, cunning, and, above all, it must be able to reason" (Connell 6). General Zaroff is utterly surprised by why Rainsford thinks so highly of human life and has no problem to continue taking human life.

Holden Caulfield has a Nihilist view on the world where he lives in the beginning of the novel but later develops a more ethical view. In the beginning of the novel, Holden believes that the world is out to get him, so he alienates himself for protection Holden brings forth his hunting hat as a method for protection, “‘This is a people shooting hat,’ I said. ‘I shoot people in this hat.’” (Salinger, 22) Holden’s hunting hat is the strongest symbol in the novel. It gives Holden protection from people who could be potentially harmful to him.

rainsoford has to go through many struggles and has to be the huntee instead of the hunter. Rainsfords values changed by a lot because at first he was saying oh there is two types of people the huntees and the hunters, and im glad im a hunter but when he becomes the huntee not by choice he realizes that it depends on the situation he wasnt going to kill people for fun so he became the huntee and worked his way so he didnt die. but his values changed because he now knows what the other end is like and he should now know not to be selfish and maybe he will be a little bit more

Character Analysis Essay Atticus is seen as a bad parent by the town and his sister, but Scout and Jem see him as an amazing parent. He taught Scout how to read, and he gives them awe-inspiring advice which helps them through all of their life lessons. For example, when Jem had to go and read to Mrs. Dubose’s house Atticus told Jem “I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway

I was a young man when the people built it – they followed Nanapush’s instructions,” (Erdrich 215) implying that his tribe’s respect for him grew because of his actions and his maturity – which he gained through his journey of killing the old Buffalo woman. Though their actions lead to different paths, the characters still show that they are doppelgangers because they gain the admiration from the people around them. In addition, they follow a set of premises in Andrew J. Webber’s “The Doppelgänger: Double Visions in German Literature.” In his first premise, Webber states, that the main subject “beholds its other self as another, as a visual object (3).

Enkidu is forced into civilization after being disowned by nature for sleeping with Shamhat. We see him transformed from a wild beast into a civilized person. As we follow Enkidu’s transformation, we see how he changes for the better, but also experiences some downfalls. The transition was not smooth, it took time to fully adjust, and although there are many disadvantages of leaving the hunter-gatherer lifestyle, the benefits made it worthwhile. Through Enkidu’s exposure to Gilgamesh, he changes from a human that lives among nature, to this great warrior that is willing to kill beasts for no other reason, but glory.

When I finally did, though, we had so much fun going to the open dessert to shoot targets or hunt small animals. As my dad looked into other ways to enjoy our guns, he found Cowboy Action Shooting. Through YouTube and some close friends, we learned that

There are several ways Hassan starts his path to atonement. The first time he feels without guilt is when Assef beats him up but he describes at finally being in peace. “What was so funny was that, for the first time since the winter of 1975, I felt at peace” (289). This quote shows how he was able to finally get the beating he deserved which makes him feel as if he reached atonement. However because atonement is only achieved through doing constant good deeds readers see a second time when he reveals all.

Through this line, Golding emphasizes the hold hunting has taken on Jack, and the emotional state that is slowly driving him insane. Jack longs to rebel from the rules, and he thinks that hunting can solve every problem on the island. He is no longer a civil, young boy, but rather,

Sure, might Adderpaw be a bit disappointed that the one who said such things was still his mentor, but he wouldn 't say no to being trained and slowly let out of his shell from the others help, he looked to the brighter side of things, he could 've been paired up with his close friend Smokebird instead, and she was known to fight just about anything that moved and was in range... Nor did she knew when to stop, a whirlwind of beatings, really. When he heard that he had been placed in the hunting party he had grown rather excited, the thought of being able to hunt with other clan members and create teamwork made the apprentice happy, maybe this was his chance to try and get used to being around others? Maybe he could even get rid of that burden of a stutter with some time? Might Adderpaw be closed-in from the rest of the world, but what was in his mind were large dreams of success and finally being able to rid his heavied shoulders of anxiety and the nervous temptation scratching down his spotted back, hopefully,

Where would we be without acceptance in the world today? All of us would be living in a society where everyone was frightened of being different. Barbara Jordan’s quote, “We, as human beings, must be willing to accept people who are different from ourselves”, mirrors the thought that acceptance is crucial in today’s ever-changing world. The two pieces of text that will be analyzed and related to the aforementioned quote are Lord of the Flies, written by William Golding, and Texas vs. Johnson: Majority Opinion, which was written by Justice William Brennan. In the novel by William Golding, a group of schoolboys experience a plane crash and find themselves on an island in the middle of nowhere.

The changing relationship between Ralph and Jack, the protagonist and antagonist in Lord of the Flies is one where these two boys at first seem like allies but quickly diverge and distance themselves apart and soon become completely at odds with one another. Due to the different approaches they take in the leadership of a group of boys stranded on an uninhabited island, the group splits into two opposing and even warring factions, showing the severity of their antagonism.   In the beginning, relations between Ralph and Jack are not as hostile. When they explore their island, they appear to act like friends, fooling around and casually playing.

When Jack, Ralph, and Simon go on their expedition they come across a tied up piglet and decide to kill so as Ralph and Simon hold it down, Jack was supposed to slit its throat to let all the blood spill out, but, he paused and the piglet got away. The literal reason for Jack not killing the piglet is that he cannot deal with seeing the piglets blood flush out all over the ground. "There came a pause, a hiatus, the pig continued to scream and the creepers to jerk, and the blade continued to flash at the end of a bony arm" (Golding 31). The concept for why he could not is because of the enormity of the knife descending and cutting into living flesh; because he could not handle the blood. When the pig gets away, Jack says that he was just choosing a place, decide where to stab him, this foreshadows the death of something when Jack finds the place.

When babies are first born into the world, they have no knowledge. Humans are born into the world as savages, naked and clueless. These babies eventually grow up, covered by clothes and clouded by materialism. In Lord of the Flies by William Golding, after being freed from the mask of materialistic things, we can clearly see a character shift in all the boys. These well mannered, cultured and civilized boys transform into primitive beings.
