...By Blood and Bone It was on my volition and indeed I alone will suffer. It seemed so right for me to accept for I cannot bear the thought of my brother leaving his other half. I knew better. It was the only way I could save us. We were orphans yet royals. I knew I was stepping in the enemy’s territory, I knew I submitted to what they wanted, I knew. I knew. I have to save them. One Year Earlier “Are you ready yet your highness?” I heard Linda, my personal maid said as she opened the door of my now former room. “Linda, don’t call me that, you know very well you’re not entitled to that anymore.” I snapped at her as I pull my long black hair into a ponytail. I kept my hair long for royalty purposes but now I have to keep them long for personal reasons. “Please your highness, yours is the only royal family here. I vow to respect you forever as long as I live even after that.” She was blabbing. “Linda you don’t need to. My brother and I are practically being thrown out today. And the new royal family will be settled here in no time then you will have resumed your duties by then.” I said with full composure trying to hide the pain that was. My brother, Howard, and I will go to exile. Even though we are the true offspring bone of the royals of the country, we didn’t have the power to protect ourselves from harm. The family who will sit now was the family of the prime minister. It was the prime minister’s plan all along. His family didn’t even have a royal blood let...

An hour and a half later Clover and Benjamin said Boxer showed up to his stall with a limp. For the next two days after that, Clover and Benjamin confirmed being by his side and caring for him. The two companions said they could only be with Boxer after working hours, but that is not when the van showed up. The animals said they were out working on weeding turnips when Benjamin came trotting and shouting, “Come at once! They are taking Boxer away!” All of the animals ran to the farm building to witness the van loading up Boxer. The animals said they were wishing him goodbye for now, but they dreadfully remember Benjamin booming,”Fools! Fools!...

...Poe uses the vault to symbolize the long spider web of a plan to kill Fortunato. As they work their way down the catacombs the path gets narrower and narrower just like the slow drifting to eternal sleep that Fortunato goes through. This can be shown by how Poe reference’s the path becoming cluttered with bones. “At the most remote end of the crypt there appeared another less spacious. Its walls had been lined with human remains, piled to the vault overhead, in the fashion of the great catacombs of Paris (pg. 17).” The narrowing of the halls and the bodies piled up symbolizes how soon it will be until Montresor has his...

...destroyed but a person, specifically a coolie, was killed. There were over 2000 Burmese watching him and wondering what he was going to do about it. He felt compelled to shoot the elephant. According to Wikipedia, Imperialism happens when a stronger nation takes over a weaker nation and dominates their social, economic, religious and cultural freedoms. There have been many nations in history that have oppressed others. For example Hitler and the Nazis oppressed many countries and tried to exterminate the Jewish population. As an Englishman in Burma, Orwell was hated by the Burmese. On the other hand, he did not agree with imperialism such as British rule over India. However, he was mocked, spit on, pushed down and made to feel like a fool. He was told by the sub inspector to go check out the event with the elephant. He took his 44 Winchester rifle just in case, even though the rifle would not do much harm against the elephant. He was curious to see what was going on. He followed the path of destruction, to find the elephant had killed a coolie in a grizzly manner. Later on he found the elephant grazing peacefully in a field. Even though he sensed the crowd wanting him to shoot the elephant, he did not wish to do so; because the elephant was an expensive “piece of equipment to its owner”. When he came upon the elephant grazing peacefully on some grass, he did not feel like he should shoot it especially since the elephant seemed done with its rampage. Sadly he sent for...

...The motive of a killer often serves as a stronger indicator of what the theme is. In, A Study in Scarlet, the writing was on the wall. The word ‘Rache’, was written in blood at the crime scene. ‘Rache’ means revenge in German.

...forgot about the pupples Once Napoleon had all the power he wasn't going to let it go. Napoleon broke the most of the commandments. He even went so far as to change them so that he could do what he wanted. Napoleon did everything he needed to to make sure he was the only one that would ever have power on the farm. Napoleon and the rest of the pigs liked to drink but they were out of alcohol they started to sell things such as Boxer, the hardest working person on the farm and the one to believe in him the most, to a slautghter house. “Fools! Fools!” shouted Benjamin, prancing round them and stamping the earth with his small hoofs. “Fools! Do you not see what is written on the side of that van?” That gave the animals pause, and there was a hush. Muriel began to spell out the words. But Benjamin pushed her aside and in the midst of a deadly silence he read:“‘Alfred Simmonds, Horse Slaughterer and Glue Boiler, Willingdon. Dealer in Hides and Bone-Meal. Kennels Supplied.’ Do you not understand what that means? They are taking Boxer to the knacker’s!”(103) Napoleon made the other animals stop singing “Beasts of England” because of the message the song preached - rebellion. He didn't want the rest of the animals rebelling against him like they did to Mr. Jones. Once Napoleon and the other pigs could do what they wanted they started wearing clothes and walking on two legs. Napoleon didn’t only want to get money he also wanted to make sure that there was no way that he would ever come...

Lou and Oscar believe that because they have put all the physical labor into the land that the land naturally should belong to them. Arguing their point to Alexandra they state, "Didn't all the land come out of the homestead? It was bought with money borrowed on the homestead, and Oscar and me worked ourselves to the bone paying interest on it." Alexandra argues, “I’ve made more on my...
