.... affection and devotion Lennie and Max shared. The same situation came from his uncle, Benjy. At first sight, Benjy described him as having a "thin crafty face, the quick black eyes and the restlessness...the grain so shrewd and knowing, all made a bad impression on Uncle Benjy." (p. 61) Benjy supported Lennie, giving him money for his education. With the exception of Simcha, he had no other parental support which is the reason why Simcha words had such a great effect on him. Duddy gains what he had wanted in its acquisition, respect. Everyone except Simcha, Mr. MacPherson, and Uncle Benjy thought he was going to be a nobody. He wanted so much to prove them wro .....

.... on page 80. Here he attempts to explain the logic behind the party’s eradication of thought that goes against party doctrine. That the party is in fact more interested in wiping out these ideas which can act as seeds taking root in future generations. Then it is in punishing people. During this entry Rubashov makes no attempt but rather feels that everything shall be sorted out by history. But for him the most painful of all of his sacrifices, was his surrendering of in his secretary and lover, Arlova. Rubashov suffered much as he antagonized over weather this was in fact the correct choice to be made. The pain felt by Rubashov over this decisi .....

.... these episodes Great Sleeps. Jack presents the Great Sleeps in the order in which he thinks of them. The first Great Sleep, in the novel, occurs after Jack quits the Chronicle. He quits as a result of refusing to take sides in the upcoming gubernatorial campaign. Jack dives into a long-lasting sleep, which arouses a feeling of worthlessness in the things that he believes he wants. He compares these material objects to playing cards within a deck. " Maybe the things you want are like cards" (Warren 99). An individual wants these cards because in a certain circumstance -a card game- they have a purpose. Without a game however, there is no need for the .....

.... that in order to be industrious, we must always be employed in something useful. His proverb, "Employ thy Time well if though meanest to gain Leisure", lets the reader know that time shouldn’t be wasted on doing things that won’t better yourself or others. Franklin tells us that in order to be frugal, we can’t waste anything. People who spend lavishly should listen to the maxim, "Silks and Satins, Scarlet and Velvets put out the Kitchen Fire". This saying reminds us that the nice, expensive things all work just as well as the generic ones. Another proverb that a person with no frugality should abide by is, "Women and Wine, Game and Dec .....

.... I’m sick of these damn people. Look at them acting so bloody stupid and ignorant. Can’t their minute brains comprehend that someone in a wheelchair is normal? Do they think I’m some sort of freak, some circus act, some goddamn freak show! Do they get their kicks out of just looking at me and making some dim-witted comments to their friends? I’m sick of these bastards, absolutely sick of them. Here I am wheeling through the shopping centre just wanting to go to the music store to pick up that new CD I wanted. But as usual I have to deal with being stared at continuously by these narrow-minded people who just think of me as some kind of retard. I don’t rememb .....

.... with members of his own family, the principles of his "hard and fast system" were rigidly instilled in the minds of his students. Such pupils of the Gradgrind school were continually crammed with facts from day to day until they 'spilled over 'with them. Such facts were to remain in the mind, pressed down in all forms of memory until all finer sensibilities were deadened. As dramatic and unhearted as it may sound, that is precisely what Mr. Gradgrind wished to accomplish. In my opinion, however, he was not an unkind man at all. He believed absolutely that he was doing a good deed. He was affectionate in his way; but he studiously repressed all forms of .....

.... Three Witches, Macbeth learns that he might becomes king. The thought of becoming king drives him to think of murderous acts on the king. He and Lady Macbeth concieve a plan to kill Duncan so he may become king. He goes from noble warrior and trusted friend to a backstabber (literally! Ha ha ha...) all for the promise of becoming king. Not only that, but he hires assassins to bump off Banquo and Fleeance, his son. Banquo gets killed, but Fleeance escapes. Macbeth was willing to kill his own friend just so he may remain king (The witches said Banquo's sons would be kings, and Macbeth didnt like that). To boot, Macbeth sends assassins to kill Macduffs family. By .....

.... transcend the story line and expostulate his own philosophies. In contrast, Thoreau, wrote from an autobiographical standpoint revealing his own internal conflicts with mans struggle against nature.
