Gentlemen need exactly seven, like the that officials just want the certain number of votes so they can get re-elected this creates a problem, because like the Gentlemen, once …show more content…

They steal the voice of the people they want, the Gentlemen did that precisely, but politicians just ignore anybody who is not in their party or not in their target range of voters. They are supposed to be leaders to all, but most really only do the things their party wants and disregard everything else. Buffy, her team, and the military are like factions. Once they got together and were able to communicate, they were able to make a plan and stop the Gentlemen. Only till they were able to work together were they able to get things done. Once Buffy was able to speak out and get her voice heard the evil Gentlemen were defeated, like one can defeat a legislator if their actions are heard by the people and the people work together in order to get what they want

    It is within this ideological framework that the precise nature of the lawyer’s ostensibly humanist outlook and charitable gestures attain greater clarity: the act of bestowing upon Turkey “a highly respectable looking coat of [his] own” is exposed as an essentially economic exchange, a “favor” designed to be repaid with the prompt abatement of “[Turkey’s afternoon] rashness and obstreperousness” (Melville 1106).
