.... no understanding." "Even so, I rather think they understand one thing-- fear. The fear of pain and the fear of death." "Nonsense," laughed Rainsford. "This hot weather is making you soft, Whitney. Be a realist. The world is made up of two classes--the hunters and the huntees. Luckily, you and I are hunters." Rainsford never considered what it was like to be the prey rather than the predator, that is until he met General Zaroff. General Zaroff was much like Rainsford, only he had found the ultimate game to hunt- human beings. By making Rainsford the huntee, Zaroff showed Rainsford what it f .....

They systematically destroy his coffins with holy wafers and chase him out of England back to Castle Dracula. There they carry out an ultimate plan to destroy Dracula.

.... the older generation. He said, “The idea of authority, which they represented, was associated in our minds with a greater insight and a more humane wisdom.� This bitter quote shows that after the war is over their generation does not know what will be left for them. The characters felt betrayed. This idea of betrayal is paramount in the loss of war. Even though they may be able to go home after the war is over, they will constantly have to fight themselves. Another force that led to the loss of innocence at the front was the things that the boys were learning. They refer to themselves as “stone aged veterans� even though they .....

.... read. Although Joe has no real aspiration for this, he humors Pip and lets the boy instruct him. As mentioned before, Mrs. Gargery is a very cruel person. One would think living with her would drive even a saint to kill. Even so, Joe never says a harsh word about his wife and treats her with the utmost respect. Pip's decision to go to London has a greater impact than most readers think. Not only was Joe losing a set of hands around the forge, but he was also saying farewell to a boy who must have been like a son to him. Joe knew that once Pip left they would never have the same relationship. It was clear to Joe that this was Pip's dr .....

.... someone else. The book talks a lot about control. People control the conversation too much. We do this without knowing it. Sometimes people control the conversation by talking Sarcastically: ‘is that what you're wearing -- polka dots and plaid? Ooh, you ought to get a lot of compliments today.' Blaming or Accusing: ‘Your finger prints are on the door again, - why do you do that?" Name Calling: "How dumb can you be?" Threats: "Touch it again and you'll get it!" Commands: "Pick it up, now!" Lecturing, Warnings: "watch it you'll burn yourself." and Comparisons: "Why can't you be more like Billy?" These all can have ne .....

.... and the Life" nearly becomes his theme song. The words are repeated a last time at the moment Carton dies. In what sense may we see Carton's dying in Darnay's place as Christ-like? It wipes away his sin, just as Christ's death washed clean man's accumulated sins. For readers who choose the negative view, Carton's death seems an act of giving up. These readers point out that Stryver's jackal has little to lose. Never useful or happy, Carton has already succumbed to the depression eating away at him. In the midst of a promising youth, Carton had "followed his father to the grave"- that is, he's already dead in spirit. For such .....

.... to defeat his enemies, both in and out of the game room. Lastly, towards the novel's end, Ender's empathy takes on a much more universal significance when it first allows him to win the war for humanity against the buggers, and then at last is put to a more peaceful use, when Ender becomes a "speaker for the dead". From the very beginning of the novel, Ender's extraordinary empathic abilities are quite conspicuous. The first time the reader encounters Ender, in fact, he is making a very perspicacious observation about the way adults lie to children. A woman in charge of the maintenance of a monitor attached since birth to the back .....
