Section 1- Quotes
“I’m sorry guys, I’m sorry, but I need you to listen to me, I’m getting worst by the hour and I don’t have many sane ones left, please leave me here.”
This quote is the character development of newts character, it is showing us just how much he is willing to do to make sure that the others succeed in finding a cure for the flare.
“What a surprise, she lied again”
This quote is another development of character. This is developing Teresa’s character. It is showing how little trust that the group has in Teresa because of how much she lies to the others.
“On the outside, in the streets, they call people like you Munies, they really, really hate you”
This is an example of setting development, this quote lets us see the real hatred of people in the book who are immune to the deceases like Thomas and the group that he is in, it also helps me understand why some things happen when they happen.

Section 2-Discussion Questions
1. In this book the characters have to make a lot of hard decisions. And because of the situation there in with not a lot of time, they not always make the right one. One decision they made that was good was the decision to escape WICKED. Because all they wanted was to abuse them. However one decision they made that was bad was later in the book deciding to trust WICKED, because when they did WICKED started using them for experiments.

2. in this book there is a lot of conflict mostly between Thomas and his group against WICKED, but there is also conflicts between the group, and other people, both inside and out of the group. To deal with the conflicts inside the group is quite simple for them, they listen to Thomas because he is the leader of the group. However to deal with the conflicts with WICKED or the rest of society, they just keep running away from the problems or fighting their way
3. I believe

    This portrays that by Bradbury adding this, we can see that all people knew about fires was that they happened because a book was involved but they never understood the tragedy of them. Therefore, the quotes used express the final reasoning standing alone is just as good as standing together and sometimes better because they both describe how no matter what other people think, people should always do what they think is right and to actually understand the real meaning of things.…

    This quote pokes fun at education as Tom Sawyer puts all his faith in a book, even though we know books do not always tell the truth. The boys are willing to take a blood oath and enter into a murderous gang because a book said that is the way to do it. It shows how easily they are influenced by one another and how they lack their own opinion.…

    With this word, Atticus encourages Scout to think about the impact that all of her friends and neighbors had on her life. In addition, Atticus is shown to have a kind, patient tone, which emphasizes his role as a father figure in this book.

Most of all, this quote foreshadows the building tension that is to come as the court trial for the Tom Robinson case…

    Civility vs. Savagery

    • 911 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Ralph and Jack’s power struggle correlates with the battle between savagery and civility. From the novel’s beginning, Ralph’s main priority is to maintain the fire so the boys can be rescued. He says, “If a ship comes near the island they may not notice us. So we must make smoke on top of the mountain. We must make a fire”(38). Ralph’s leadership and desire to return to society represent civility. However, as the boys continue to be trapped on the island, Jack’s violent tendencies begin to emerge. “He tried to convey the compulsion to track down and kill that was swallowing him up”(51). Without adults and the laws of civilization repressing it, Jack’s savage nature becomes apparent. Jack and Ralph eventually clash over their contradicting ideas of leadership. Ralph shouts “Which is better, law and rescue, or hunting and breaking things up?”(180). As the boys’ fears increase, and their hopes of being rescued diminish, they turn to Jack for leadership, and civilization is no longer able to coexist with savagery on the island. The conflict between Ralph and Jack provides a concrete perspective on the overall struggle between civility and savagery.…

    The different types of conflicts help shape the book because the conflicts help deepen the story and the characters in the book. In ‘The Outsiders’ the main conflict is person vs society. Since Ponyboy is a greaser he is looked down upon in society because he is poor. One example of a plot is person vs person, of Darry and Ponyboy. A lot of times Darry and Ponyboy don’t get along and get into a lot of arguments, by yelling and shouting. This would be an example of person vs person because one character is fighting another character. In this situation Ponyboy and Darry are verbally fighting each other. Furthermore, when Ponyboy arrived late coming home, Darry was really mad and slapped Ponyboy in the face. On page 50 it also proves my saying”…

    When analyzing Thomas’ poem, we read that he is talking about life on the broader sense; that there is more to life than waiting until death knocks you out. On line five, “because their words had forked no lightning (Thomas 5),” it is described as the people who haven’t made a big mark in the world yet. He is trying to illustrate the fact that people should really fight back and do something…
