Beatty, still trying to convince Montag that what firemen do is good and that you don’t want to be a misfit and think otherwise. He explains to Montag that “If you don 't want a man unhappy politically, don 't give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none" (Bradbury 58). Him saying this makes you think it’s better to give people no decisions. Rather don’t let them worry about anything so they don’t feel like they should have

I agree with his interpretation of how to live the happy life because one cannot help another at the expense of their own happiness. As Dalai Lama once said, “Happiness is not something really made. It comes from your own actions.” Russell writes “the happy life’’ from the point of view of a hedonist and a moralist.
In the letter entitled “The Whistle”, the idealism of not indulging in luxuries is a central theme. There is one parable that the author uses constantly to strengthen the theme. The author uses this one parable to begin his central theme and then brings down many more examples to highlight his point. The parable of the whistle is used throughout the story to symbolize luxuries and wants.
Nathan uses the judge in the parable to explain that each religion should prove its truth through kindness and absolute love to all. One religion should not be scornful of others in order to justify its superiority. Each religion should respect and value the positions of other religions while still staying true to its own. Nathan uses this parable to preach religious tolerance to
equality recognizes the flaws in this society and he knew in his heart that it was not right how they were treated and forced to live.

Furthermore, defenders of the divine command theory like Alston have faced the Euthyphro dilemma by says that although God’s commands make right actions right, God is morally perfect and hence would never issue unjust or immoral commandments. On their eyes, God’s nature is the standard of moral goodness, and God’s commands or words are the origin of all obligation and kindness.(Jeremy Koons, n.d.) One well-known objection to divine will/divine command moral theories is that they commit us to the view that God’s will is arbitrary, and the arbitrary will of God is not a plausible basis for morality.(Thomas,

(Jasper) Coleridge hopes to help people understand that they must pay for their sins, and that if they are willing to do so, they will be able to live with their Father again. We all hope for that love, but it cannot come with pain first. And with the pain, we must pay the
Often emphasizes its unconventionality saying it was obvious that not writing a novel, which neglects all what the novelist would not have failed to take advantage. He wants to convince the reader that he captures the truth, not a fictional plot. Destroys the fictional illusion that reinforces the sense of reality because the text because of its discontinuity mimetic closer to the human experience. It is this which gives the illusion of reality, the insistence on authenticity, is also what enhances awareness of the artificiality of the text. This advocacy of realism Lilian R. Furst in her article 'Diderot: Jacques le et son maître fatalist' seen as Diderot's satirical attack on excessive actions in adventure stories of the 18th century.
In the book bystander by James Preller I believe a very prominent theme is ignoring the situation even if it doesn 't affect you is not the right thing to do. In chapter 18 of the book, the very wise Dr. Martin Luther King Junior is quoted " In the end we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends". This quote can be strongly associated with the theme of the book. What does "means in the simplest terms, is that it is far more important to us, the people who look at as friends defend us, then the petty insults of our enemies.
A person who is getting peer pressured to do a deed, is often most likely to commit it. This is often because the person doesn't want to seem weak, or any of those sorts, and wants to appear the opposite. People have their own reasons, and sometimes selfish, to be motivated to do something. In Orwell's "Shooting in Elephant," Orwell himself acknowledges and shows evidence of this through the instances of his self consciousness, and my own personal observations. Orwell accepts that humans have their own selfish reasons to be motivated to do an act through the fact of his self consciousness.
George Orwell is the author of, “Politics and the English Language”, an article in which he attempts to persuade the reader to believe his claim that politics are influencing modern writing, in turn causing lazy and vague writing. Orwell says that, “Political language-...is designed to make lies sound truthful”(539). Essentially, his main point is that the habit of writing fancily for little reason, or with little purpose, is reversible with significant effort. Orwell’s goal is to get his readers to follow an “elementary” set of rules listed near the end of the article. He believes that there can be no good writers that do not follow the rules stated.
