What Does It Means To Prevent The Backwards?
A thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but I came to give life-life in all its fullness- John 10:10 NCV. Unfortunately, in this case this is what the two thiefs were after. Everyone can agree that the men were planning to steal Robin and his companions' leather pouch filled with money, but some believe that Robin should have warn the others about the robbers, while others believe Robin should not warn the others about the robbers. Robin should warn the others about the robbers for three reasons: to prove himself, to be inquisitive, and to escape.

The first reason Robin should warn the others about the robbers is to prove himself. To Brother Luke and John-go-in-the-Wynd, Robin is a crippled, incapable child. If Robin can manage to make it to Brother Luke without making a noise, he will become a hero. Also, him becoming a hero will prove that he is of worth and is useful to keep around. This action will prove he is capable of help and is not just extra weight or luggage. Robin warning his companions will help him earn respect and that he is of honor.

Robin was awake, trying to fall back asleep, and decided to eavesdrop on a conversation he wasn't supposed to hear. Though this was an disobedient act, this would prevent any damage that would be caused in the robbery. Also, listening to the plan of the robbery could help them in certain details of Robin and his companions' escape. Key details like what the thiefs are stealing and when they are planning to steal. If Robin knows details as such as this he has the perfect aspects of an escape plan. Robin may be wrong for listening to a private conversation, but this will avoid the lost of a valuable that is key to them finishing their

    The House Arrest Quotes

    This quote shows that when you do something crazy without even pondering over it, then there has to be an emotion controlling it. In Timothy’s case, the emotion controlling his actions is love. Another smaller action of his compassion is when he signs up for the Carnival of Giving to help his family and his baby brother, although he is scared of what people might think of him, his heart leads him to taking this risk. The most important and impactful loving scene in the book, is when Timothy is driving Levi to the hospital in a stolen car without a license, but saving Levi’s life, but this only gets Timothy right back to where he started, juvie. Throughout the book, Timothy's heart grows along with the trouble he is in. It seems that as the book progresses and the more love and compassion Timothy shows for Levi and their family, the more reasons there are for him to go to juvie. Punching a kid, driving and stealing a car, and breaking the rules of house arrest, all out of love for a baby. Why does Timothy give up a normal life for Levi? Why is Timothy on house arrest? Why does Timothy steal a car? Why does Timothy steal a wallet? All of these questions fall…

    Robin reflected this particular section of the code when Much had killed one of the king’s deer and Sir Guy was going to kill him for that. Robin claimed that Much was one of his men, which, at the time, he was not, and took the blame for the dead deer instead, though he managed to scare Sir Guy away instead of being killed. This shows Robin defending the weak and helpless because Much surely would have been killed by Sir Guy over the deer if Robin had not stepped in and taken the blame. Later, after having heard the Prince John was going to start raising taxes “for Richard’s ransom,” Robin gathered as many men from the villages as he could to train to fight against John and his men for the people. Robin is defending the weak and helpless here by expanding his forces to keep the court from robbing the poor. Based on these examples, it is clear that Robin Hood and his Merry Men follow the Knightly Code in defending the weak and…

    In the beginning of the tale we are introduced to the introverted Eckbert, a knight who lived a quiet and peaceful life with his wife. However, Eckbert did have one friend, Walther whom he was very fond of. The readers get a sense that even though Eckbert is portrayed as a quiet and solitary man he is still somewhat content with his peaceful life. Upon feeling the desperate need to tell his friend everything, Eckbert decided to confide in his friend and have his wife recount her childhood story. “There are times when it troubles a man to keep a secret from a friend, a secret which, until then had been guarded with the utmost care: his soul is overcome by an irresistible desire to confide completely, to bare it’s innermost emotions to that friend, so that their friendship can become closer” (p35-36) It is obvious in this example, Eckbert’s strong desire to make the decision of confiding in his friend. However, after having his wife tells Walther her story, Eckbert then finds himself uneasy with his decision. He begins to regret it and cannot get it out his mind that Walther will somehow betray him. The torment he felt was so great, that it drove him…

    “The Tell-Tale Heart” shows this when the man thinks he hears a beating heart. There is no possible way for this to happen considering the way the he murdered the old man, but the narrator was so paranoid that he thought he heard a constant beating. Which caused him to say “Villains! Dissemble no more! I admit the deed!¬–tear up the planks!–here, here!–it is the beating of his hideous heart” (Poe 306)! The pounding of a heart can symbolize the aching to come clean and confess what he was once obsessed over. A whistle in Prisoners is what the movie basically revolves around. The elementary-schooled age daughter before she went missing asked to find her whistle at her house she told the parents “The emergency whistle Daddy gave me. I lost it…” (Villeneuve). When the daughter left to retrieve the whistle she was then abducted. By not having the whistle she had no way of calling for people to rescue her. The whistle can represent the sense of safety. In the very end when the fathers obsession got him in a troubled situation, in a cellar of the women’s house that kidnapped his daughter, he finds the whistle his daughter has been missing and blows it. People can infer that the detective hears the whistle and finds Keller but the movie cuts out before anything happens. Concluding…

    When the narrator confesses to the police, he is worried about the way they are perceiving him and what they are thinking of him. He believes the police to be mocking him as they sit around with him in the room where the old man’s body is hidden and converse: “[T]hey were making a mockery of my horror! […] Anything was more tolerable than this derision!” (25) To the narrator, a man who is obsessed with his image and the way he is viewed, the fact that he may be a subject of mockery is too much to bear. Being the subject of so many people’s scrutiny and observation renders the narrator extremely uncomfortable, even going so far as to admit his discomfort to the reader: “But, ere long, I felt myself getting pale and wished [the police] gone.” (25) Furthermore, although the heartbeat the narrator hears at the end of the story might be thought to be his own due to fear that he has been found out, it is actually a manifestation of his nervousness and intense discomfort: “It was a low, dull, quick sound – much such a sound as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton.” (25) In sum, it is the narrator’s anxious mind and his self-consciousness that causes him to snap and confess to the murder.…

    Soon the phone calls started again. I heard noises in the background, but I couldn’t tell what they were. I really didn’t want that person to get out of the car and start toward the house. If they did, I didn’t know what I’d do. None of the doors were locked, and I would have no way of protecting myself. The only thing I could do was hide, which wasn’t a very good plan.…
