... gotten himself a fan. Albeit a small one, it's still a fan. And a great fan, in it's own small way. This fan has one big advantage to all the other creatures Yak has come to know - it's so small even Yak doesn't have to be afraid of it, and therefore bark at it. Yak is actually a big coward. You should see him skipping a fence (or rather; not doing it). It's a rare sight to see a dog running a kilometer to find the next gate, rather than to skip the fence.

He did what he thought was right. “ I do no harm, I say none harm, I think none harm. ...

... of theme, and character development. First of all, a reason I think a friend would be pleased with this book is the theme. To me it seems as if it is rare to find a book that would admit many disturbing facts about how whites treated blacks around 1933.

... must set out from the notion that the unconscious is structured like a language,"(1) thus directly relating literature – the art of language - and psychoanalysis. Searching the database of the Modern Language Association for articles about the use of psychoanalysis for understanding Ralph Ellison’s yields one article by Caffilene Allen, of Georgia State University, in Literature and Psychology in 1995. Thus, further study of this subject seems warranted.

... is too weak to pull the plow, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals. (p.19) This speech gets all the animals riled up and sends the toughts of getting rid of man. Old Major then teaches them the song the Beasts of England which teaches them the "great" life without man and with no more bad leaders: Beasts of England, beasts of Ireland, Beasts of every land and clime, Hearken to my joyful tidings, Of the golden future time.

He then says act 3 scene 2 line 81, “the noble brutus hath told you Caesar was ambitious, if it were so it was a grievous fault, and grievously hath Caesar answered it�.

He hath brought many captures home to Rome, whose ransom did the general coffers fill. Did this in Caesar seem ambitious? When that the poor hath cried, Caesar hath wept. Ambition should be ...

... One steals from those who have stolen from him, one wrongs those who have wronged him, but do we really have the right to kill those who have killed. Today, there is a big controversy over capital punishment whether or not it works, or if it is morally right. We have a certain privilege on our own lives, but do the lives of others belong to us as well? Do we have the right to decide the kind of lives others can or cannot live? We find someone guilty of murder and sentence him to death, does that not make murderers out of ourselves? Can justice justify our acts? Those who assist in the death penalty are they not part ...
