Rainsford on the other had fell off a boat and landed on Ship Trap Island. Here on Ship Trap Island he was being hunted down by a man by the name of Zaroff. In both their cases they had no one but themselves to help them. Both of the main characters need to rise up and defeat who they are being hunted down by. In High Noon the main character Will Kane is all alone, after he asks many of the people in the town they all ask him to leave.

”(623). Cowardly his men hid under the ships boards and seats clinging to the ground, just then one of the “heros” men was caught by Scylla and did nothing but scream. Odysseus had pleaded his men to row after five more men had been caught, but it was no use as Charybdis had created a threatning wurl pool that would get his men caught. Luckily they were able to get past the wurl pool and began sailing normally

Captain Phillips tried to defend the boat from the pirates every way possible to stop them from getting on the boat and he defended while they were on the boat also. He did every protocol he needed to do to keep the pirates from boarding but failed. When the pirates boarded he let his crew down below deck to save them while he faced the pirates like a hero. He locked down everything letting his crew be away from the pirates. Captain Phillips also tried to save his crew by acting like the ship was broken and that there were no more people on board, but the pirates did not believe him.

Another ethical dilemma is when Junior slept while they were on shift and Barnes found out and told everyone “I would take an interest in seeing a person suffer if they slept on an ambush” but Junior blamed it all on Taylor when Taylor was awake the entire time. As well Barnes refused to give medical attention to Taylor which leads him to try everything that he can to stay alive. Over all throughout this film, everything was an ethical dilemma, to calling each other names, lying about who slept , killing individuals for no reason, smoking cannabis, and especially the fight between Taylor and Barnes where Barnes gets stabbed 7 times by

They find out later that the ship does not have what they are looking for. The fellow men, Hockney, and the others are locked on the ship and killed by an unknown person set the ship on fire, and Verbal was the witness. Kujan does not believe him, and he believes that Keaton was Soze, and the other drug dealer was Arturo Marquez. Kujan also told Verbal that Finneran had been murdered and Verbal said that the whole plan was Keaton idea, but refused to mention this in court. Verbal was released.

He ran into the cowboys and tricked them into thinking that they had set up an ambush to scare them away. He got back home, but his dad never came back. He came to the realization that they probably put him on a prison ship and that they would release him when the war was over. Him and his mother were left to run the tavern by themselves.

The physical pain he suffered could be solved over time, but the mental damage will always stay with him. I cannot tell you how many times Perry was threatened with death. One major example of this is on page 166, “folks dangled a noose near the Vanderbilt bench, pretending they were threatening to hang Wallace”. This is really bad because they were threatening to kill him in one of the most painful ways, breaking his neck and then suffocation. Also on page 166, it states that his teammates ignored everything going on.

Two tidesmen on the ship stayed on board overnight and swore nothing had been unloaded. This event was called, The Liberty Affair. A month later one of the tidesmen changed his story. The tidesman said that he had been forcibly held on the Liberty by John Hancock’s orders and illegally unloaded the cargo. The next day the officials seized the Liberty and found 20 barrels of tar and 200 barrels of oil which had no permit to have the goods loaded on the ship.

Odysseus knew it himself that he and his men may not be able to get through this big of an obstacle, but he just pushed them forward. This shows an act of foolishness as leader because he did not notify his men of the dangerous obstacle coming towards him, but just keeps put to leave his men to fend for themselves. An example of Odysseus’ arrogance is when Odysseus brags to Cyclops and yells out, “O Cyclops! Would you feast on my companions? Puny am I, in a Caveman’s hands?

In the novel, Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Robert Louis Stevenson explores the complexity of human nature. He uses characters and events in the novel to present his stance on the major theme: “man is not truly one, but truly two” (125). Branching from this major theme are many more specific views on the idea that human nature is divided into good and evil. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are two very different people who occupy the same body. Human beings struggle with good and evil and Stevenson goes to the extreme to to show this relationship.

Two days later... Having endured an hour-long grilling from Fuller about Booker’s disappearance, Tom exited his superior’s office feeling more than a little dispirited. Astute enough to know something had happened at the fraternity, Fuller had badgered him relentlessly about the hazing case, but Tom had remained stubbornly tight-lipped and had revealed only the bare facts, much to his captain’s indignation. But there was a reason behind Tom’s reticence. Without Booker by his side, he had come to acknowledge his rape as his own private hell and not something he could readily share with his friends.

When the SWAT team and the police come barging through his door and yelling, "You now need to come with us you are being booked in jail," that just isn 't right. First off, if the state is going to come thirteen years after he had received a new life, and take him to jail would force his family to go through more struggles than they already have had. That would make it their fault and therefore he should not go back to jail because the state couldn 't figure out how to book him in jail. Say Mike goes to jail he will be there a nother thirteen years and won 't be able to raise his kids, run his business to take care of the needs of his co-workers, and have a normal life. In the end Mike should not go back to jail because it 's the state 's wrongdoing to not account for Mike and take him to jail.

"Let every man do his duty, and be true to his country”, cried the members and then they ended the meeting. That night, over 100 men including the Sons of Liberty dressed in Indian attire, the poncho and soot streaks soldiers wore during the French and Indian War. There was word that they might need some sort of protection, I mean they were about to commit a terrible crime, so they armed themselves with hatchets, axes, and pistols, and sneaked aboard the ships. Three ships cargo of precious teas lay in Boston harbor, their captains unaware of the iconic events that were soon to take place. The native American clothing was both to keep their identities a secret, and to show England that they were beginning to identify themselves as Americans, not British subjects.

A huge line of black people would line up in protest. The deputes came too, keeping them from getting water or food the entire time. From seven to four thirty, Everyone would line up in 95 degree weather without water or food. After JFK Died, John made a protest where everyone in the protest would buy a share of the dobbs corporation, and when they went to eat there, they were denied service to their own diner. He recruited many staffers, but before they could do anything, three went missing.

The boys turned into monsters because they were so afraid of the news Dave had because he was the one who told the family that their loved one was killed in combat. The boys still were so afraid of what Dave wanted to tell them that they continued to beat him up until, "He closed his mouth and tried to crawl away" (5). Another way to use suspense is to to show how someone is so angry and afraid that they turn into some they are not and get very violent. At this part of the story Dave was trying to come tell him that his father had passed away in combat, but he was too afraid to hear him say the words that he didn 't let him and just beat Dave up. While reading the suspense of how badly the boys wanted to beat Dave up was a release of anger and fear, which is terrifying in the position of
