In the novel Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, one of the main characters, George, had come upon an unthinkable situation, where he best friend, Lennie, murders the wife of Curley. George faces the decision to weather let Lennie live, and suffer from Curley's vengeance, or to end Lennie's life permanently, and save him from suffering.

In the book The Killing Sea by Richard Lewis, Sarah and Ruslan have very different point of views on the word “respect” and its meaning. In Chapter one, page 5, Sarah is complaining about what she needed to dress like to respect their culture, “The mother whispered to the girl, ‘Put on your scarf’ ‘This stupid dress is enough. I’m drowning in sweat.’” First, this quote shows that Sarah doesn’t want to dress like the people from their land because she is not from there. While Ruslan is more respectful, “Ruslan hesitated. ‘Bapa, last week I borrowed your motor scooter without asking. I’m sorry.’”(The Killing Sea, page 10) Second, this quote shows how Ruslan told his dad what he did because he felt guilt for doing something that he shouldn’t done.

During the second World War, an olympic record holder, Louie Zamperini, was one of the few men that got shot down into the ocean and was stranded for 47 days on a lonely, little raft. The great American hero we all have heard of didn’t start out like you would have thought. He was a young scoundrel who was influenced by his brother to run for something better than away from is problems. After years of running and going to the German Olympics to set the best lap run in the 5,000 meters, Louie had gone into the Air Force and had gotten into trouble at a Japanese POW camp after a crash. The book Unbroken, written by Laura Hillenbrand, expresses Louie’s life exceptionally well, especially

As the Canadian social democratic politician and Baptist minister, Tommy Douglas once said, “Man can now fly in the air like a bird, swim under the ocean like a fish, he can burrow into the ground like a mole. Now if only he could walk the earth like a man, this would be paradise.” In the book Unbroken, written by Laura Hillenbrand, defying the many odds against him, Louis Zamperini showed us that with being faithful, you can conquer your problems. Some of the many struggles Zamperini had to go through, included pushing to become a better person, surviving a plane crash resulting in 42 days stranded out at sea, becoming a POW for two years, and coming home to find that not only his past haunts him, but his present.

“There isn’t anyone to help you. Only me. And I’m the Beast--Fancy thinking the Beast was something you could hunt and kill! Said the head. You knew, didn’t you? I’m part of you? Close, close, close! I’m the reason why it’s a no go? Why things are the way they are?” (page 206)

In the early ages, mankind was savage. William Golding’s novel, Lord of the Flies, proves that humans are savage still today. Golding does a good job of showing the readers that without civilization, people go mad. Jack shows savage ways early in the book, and it is obvious that things will only get worse. Lord of the Flies shows that when left alone, even the most unlikely people will resort to savage ways.

Whilst in conversation with Lola, Briony’s cousin, Briony tells her of all the events involving Robbie so far, this conveys once more that Briony is a meddling child as she is telling false accusations to people who are not involved in the situation.
