At Wellton, students of all walks of life are expected to learn the same lessons the same ways. They are expected to memorize the important facts and regurgitate the same facts during exams. Latin class involves recitation, while chemistry involves memorization, and as long as the students can deliver what they have been told, they are successful in life. The new English teacher, Mr. Keating, challenges his students to think for themselves and to resist conformity. He most memorably illustrates how easily conformity affec .....

.... in his oration on Hecuba, Hamlet realizes that he is not properly incensed over the pernicious actions of his uncle. He resolves to forget his cause no longer and hatches a plot to test Claudius's guilt through a dramatic presentation of murder. However, that Hamlet feels the need for such a test further indicates the lack of impetus from his mission's righteousness alone. Hamlet's introspective and skeptical character leads him to question the validity of the ghost's charge, and even the trustworthiness of the ghost itself. Even after Claudius reveals his guilt, justice lacks sufficient force to motivate Hamlet. When he finds Claudius alone in his .....

.... lied to the people who wanted to buy that car, saying that it had just been sold. They took advantage of the people’s naiveté, and that is very wrong.

.... or negative, and from intimate relationships with others, thus he is called by the book's title, "the stranger". While this behavior can be seen as a negative trait, there is a young woman who seems to want to have a relationship with Meursault and a neighbor who wants friendship. He seems content to be indifferent, possibly protected from pain by his indifference. Meursault rarely shows any feeling when in situations which would, for most people, elicit strong emotions. Throughout the vigil, watching over his mother's dead body, and at her funeral, he never cries. He is, further, depicted enjoying a cup of coffee with .....

.... knight that offered to take Arthur's place. He could have easily stood back and let Arthur have his go at the Green Knight. He showed to have more honor and courage than the rest of Arthur's Court by coming forward. "Would you grant me the grace,' said Gawain to the King, 'To be gone from this bench and stand by you there."

.... to do so. The play gives us a range of characters that have different prices, most of which are met, and shows the benefits gained. The Common Man represents us. He is as relevant in the times of the play as he is now. He is typical of us and just wants enough money to get by with, without getting into dangerous situations. He also shows how we will manipulate a situation to suit our own needs and wants. The Common Man shows self-interest on a small scale. Take for example when More is using the Common Man's boat and the issue of payment comes up. He asks More to 'make it worth his while". This shows us how most would act in the same situ .....

The author wrote: “Nowhere on earth Had he met a man whose hands were harder; His mind flooded with fear”(326-328). Another example of Beowulf’s amazing strength is during his battle with Grendel’s mother. Specifically: “He raised his arms and seized her by the shoulder; anger/ Doubled his strength, he threw to the floor”(510-511). Beowulf is extremely loyal to his people. “Proclaiming that he’d go to that famous king, Would sail across the sea to Hrothgar, Now when help was needed”(114-116) desc .....
