That belief led him to betray God, attempting to create a coup in Heaven. This action compares to Howe Cadet leaders when they betray other cadets, in vain, to gain more power. Satan thrived off the power he had in Heaven and tries to gain more, just as Cadet leaders often do. When he fails to gain more power, he looks to take revenge against those who resisted him. After God throws Satan from Heaven, Satan realizes his mistake in underestimating the power of God and becomes ...

... ever gaining prominence to the pinnacle of power in ancient Egypt. This ascension as a whole gives us a glimpse of God’s order in the world, but the details of the story each provide evidence that God is the sole proprietor of order and justice. Joseph, the youngest of twelve sons, is provided with a prophecy of his future greatness which he tells his brothers: “behold we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose...your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf...and behold the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.” This is the first indication that God is at work defining and orchestrati ...

And…well…I didn’t get it.” Page 358 The dramatic realization of the fact that the war will affect a member of the Chance family is apparent in this quote. The amount of sorrow and emotions felt by the Chance family, and for that matter, all families who had children, brothers, husbands, or fathers, drafted into what many felt was a needless war.

Dunstan felt around the hole to be certain that it held no more." (37) Dunstan was looking out for number one. Being the greedy person he was, he spent extra time to make sure that he had every last guinea of Silas' money. At no point did he even consider what happened to Silas.

... this belief that people had. Notably, it is the characters’ faith in riches, and not Fitzgerald’s own. Gatsby is a self-made millionaire, making his money through bootlegging. He has acquired vast amounts of money, and believes that this money will help persuade Daisy to love him and leave Tom. This is illustrated in Chapter five when Daisy is shown around Gatsby’s mansion at his request. He shows her every detail, through from the gardens to his shirts and ‘he revalued everything in his house according to the measure of response it drew from her well-loved eyes’. Gatsby sees his money and possessions as wonderful things, but they are also more than that, they are a ...

... great too but are too afraid to speak out and be heard for fear that our ideas are worthless. We feel as though we are misunderstood and are not worthy of such popularity. Emerson makes a good point when he says not to overlook today’s youth. I think we need to put things into perspective and realize that kids aren’t going to stay kids forever. They will grow up to be adults and we have to teach them now to make good decisions because they will be running the world in the near future. The unrealistic side to Emerson’s philosophy is that now-a-days we all want to be appreciated. We don’t look towards the future and what our actions now will lead to. We think ...

... in Migelito's choice to wear it. "He left the top button of his shirt open to make sure the crucifix showed and he walked with pride, relieved to be taking a step so bold and defiant." This statement alone proves that not only does he wear the piece of jewelry for his love of god, but also to show his resistance towards the rules. Another big example of resistant behavior is the meer fact that the two family members converse openly throughout the story. Foreigners and natives are not allowed to speak at all in Cuba, and by conversing the two are leaving themselves at severe risk of being punished. These types of "little resistive fights" occur through the en ...
