Hobgoblin Generosity Quotes
I chose this quote because it showed an incredible theme, generosity. Thingumy and Bob have had their special ruby and not only one but two people had tried to take it away from them, one of them being the Hobgoblin. However, when the Hobgoblin showed the town generosity Thingumy and Bob returned this favor by using their wish for Hobgoblin and giving him the one thing he wanted more than anything, “Everybody had seen Hobgoblin laugh, but nobody believed he could smile. He was so happy that you could see it all over him- “. I found this to be a great story for children. It shows the importance of sharing your talents with others and how happy such a seemingly small act can make someone. Hobgoblin showed great generosity when he decided to give

    Anthony Swafford Jarhead Quotes

    "Yes the motherfucker looks so deadly it makes me giggle and blush." (155) Weapons play an important role in war. Not only do they protect and kill, but they provide a feeling of comfort to a soldier because the soldiers are in control of their weapons. During the Gulf War in Iraq, soldiers were excited by their deadly weapons as described in the pervious quote. In the book Jarhead, a memoir by Anthony Swafford, soldiers have intense relationships with their weapons. Swafford constantly describes the many guns he carries, the process of cleaning his weapons and how they use them. Swafford's fear of dying triggers his obsession with weapons because they are the only aspect of the war he can control to stay alive. Even after the war is…

    Tom Weylin Quotes

    Tom Weylin and his wife, Margaret, both resent Dana because she is an educated black woman with proper dialect. The wife even goes as far as throwing coffee on her and slapping her, while the husband sends flirtatious signs her way and even tries to buy her, but Dana refuses. Dana tells Kevin of these experiences on the plantation, and he tells her she needs to leave, but she only agrees to leave when Rufus’s leg has fully healed. Nigel, who is a thirteen year old slave on Weylin’s plantation asks Dana to teach him how to read and write, and she agrees to, but makes sure he understand the dangerous consequences of their wrong-doing. Tom Weylin, although rare, walks in the cook-house and discovers Dana burning one of Nigel’s spelling tests.…

    Freak The Mighty Hero Quotes

    A hero is often defined as someone that demonstrates courage, performs brave deeds, and displays noble qualities. Personally, I think that this definition can be applied to both Kevin and Maxwell due to the fact that they have both faced many difficult obstacles with the qualities of a hero. However, if only one character from the book, Freak the Mighty were to be chosen and defined as the hero of the story, I believe that Kevin would best represent the title, hero.…

    Vladek Spiegelman Maus Quotes

    Art Spiegelman’s Maus expounds on the poignant story of Spiegelman’s father, Vladek, and his traumatic experience as a Polish Jew during the Holocaust in World War II. Vladek is a complex individual whose arduous past explains his difficult behaviour in the present. His son, Artie, renders him as a very meticulous, demanding, critical and anxious character. Vladek’s involvement in the Holocaust through his unwavering pursuit for survival is what makes him quite the tangled personality. His encounters with traumatic events such as death and loss of family members and friends from the war greatly explain his complexity. As readers, we are meant to sympathise with him and understand why his painful past is a notable reason for his convoluted character in the present.…

    The Road Compassion Quotes

    Another example of a facet of humanity, compassion, is in The Road page 90. The quote is "He sat the boy on the footlocker under the gaslamp and with a plastic comb and a pair of scissors he set about cutting his hair. He tried to do a good job and it took some time. When he was done he took the towel from around the boy’s shoulders and he scooped the golden hair from the floor. [….] He cut his own hair but it didnt come out so good. He trimmed his beard with the scissors while a pan of water heated and then he shaved himself with a plastic safety razor" (McCarthy 90 ). The Man does a better job of cutting The Boy's hair than his own. He puts his son first before his own needs. Although the father was losing hope, the brief "break" of the harshness…

    Oskar Schindler Quotes

    Oskar Schindler stated, “I hated the brutality, the sadism, and the insanity of Nazism. I just couldn't stand by and see people destroyed. I did what I could, what I had to do, what my conscience told me I must do. That's all there is to it. Really, nothing more” (AZ Quotes 1). During World War II, Oskar Schindler stood up to the Nazi party in Krakow, Poland by using false labor records and pleading with Nazi leaders, so they would not send his Jewish factory workers to concentration camps. Oskar Schindler’s bravery to stand up to the Nazi’s during World War II saved 1,200 innocent Jewish people’s lives from the horrors of the Holocaust.…

    Conteaza cine spune primul! Gustave Le Bon scria în cartea Psihologia multimilor: "Am spus ca una din caracteristicile generale ale multimilor este excesiva lor sugestibilitate si am aratat cât de contagioasa este osugestie în rândul oricarei aglomerari umane, care explica orientarea rapida a sentimentelor într-o directie determinata. Oricât de neutra am presupune-o, multimea se afla într-o stare de expectativa atenta, favorabila sugestiei. Prima sugestie formulata se impune imediat prin contagiune tuturor creierelor si stabileste de îndata orientarea care se transforma în act. Totul va depinde de natura stimulului si nu ca în cazul individului izolat de relatiile ce exista între actul sugerat si cumpanirea rationala care se poate opune realizarii sale".…

    Indeed, the narrator paid the price of her innocence to compensate her triumph of adulthood, which is inevitable for everyone(Messud). While Maxim had to pay the high price of staying married to a woman he did not love and even grew to hate over the years. Only for the continued success of Manderley. When Rebecca revealed her cruel nature and immoral behavior, ones that Maxim won't even repeat, Maxim would not call their marriage off. What was even more concerning was the fact he felt the urge to kill her on the spot from the amount of disgusted he felt.

    Lord Of The Flies Beastie Quotes

    In the book Lord of the Flies the beast, at first was nothing more than a product of the boys’ imagination. The beastie is briefly mentioned by the boy with the mulberry birthmark in chapter two. He talks about the “snake-like thing”, and calls it a beastie. Majority of the boys agree that there is a beast and even claim that they saw it. One of the Littluns described their dream of their supposed encounter with the beast “I saw something moving among the trees, something big and horrid.”(5.91) The boys were daunted and intimidated by the idea of a beast existing on the island. Jack then influences the boys into hunting and killing the beast, which becomes a violent turning point in the book.On the other hand, Ralph and Piggy simply refuse to believe there is a beast. Later on, we get a real insight into the beastie. Piggy says the beast is just fear of the unknown "I know there isn't no beast—not with claws and all that, I mean—but I know there isn't no fear, either.”(5.90) Simon however had a different interpretation to what the beastie could be. He says that it is inside everyone and…

    Quotes From Kindred

    Kindred represents cultural contact and exchange because an African American woman from the 1970s is forced to adapt to life in the 19th century with other slaves. Her own culture is dramatically different from the culture of Tom Weylin’s slaves. Dana is used speaking to white people as her equals and not as threatening superiors; she is used to exercising her rights to simply do as she pleases, which includes wearing pants and writing novels. The black people who she encounters in the past are slaves, so their culture has developed through oppression and submission; the women only wear dresses or skirts, and all of the slaves are to obey the orders given to them by whites, which include working for long hours in hot or cold weather.…
