(225) The boat scene compelled the man to realize that he will not last longer and needs to instill survival skills in the boy if he is to live after the man dies; entrusting the boy as a lookout is one measure he

This is an example of Candide gaining experience throughout his traveling of the world. He saw selfish side of the sailor when Jacques saved the sailor ,but he did not try to save Jacques. According to Candide “the good Jacques runs to his assistance, hauls him back on board, and in doing so is himself pitched into the sea in full view of the sailor, who leaves him to drown without even a backward glance (13). This is where Candide saw the world was not always nice in repaying a favor. In the El Dorado situation he only looked towards the outcome if he

He saved peoples lives, and he took risks for other people and he also showed his soldiers respect.

One of the last, and most prominent, reasons as to why these men died in the sea was the fact that investigation did not occur earlier. These men were unsure if their SOS had gotten through but they were sure that someone would notice the lack of the USS Indianapolis in port. The men knew that at least someone would get suspicious of the large ships tardiness, but there was a lack of urgency and investigation early enough to save more than 317 people. The late action and lack of urgency to find these men after they did not show to port is what caused to many to die such awful deaths as shark attacks, dehydration, blood poisoning, and even murder.

Luke experienced being beat up by loggers and having his place of work shot up because of people disagreeing with him. He believes that once they allow one person to start doing stuff to the river, everybody will start to mess with it.

In The things They Carried, by Tim O’brien in that field there are two people that take responsibility for Kiowa’s death, whether it be directly or indirectly, they truly had not no control of what would happen that night.

The iron rod destroyed Gage’s region in the brain “ responsible for higher intellectual functioning” (Dr. Gibbs, Barry, The Rough Guide to The Brain, Ferrier, 1870). Moreover, his personality drifted away from the man everyone knew before the incident, therefore causing his family, friends, and other to avoid him.
