.... not say that he could not be punished. Clevinger quickly rebuts and states, “I always didn’t say you couldn’t punish me, sir.” Finally, the colonel is satisfied with that answer even though Clevinger’s statement did not answer the question and has no meaning.

Buck was very ambitious to be the leader. In some ways, I find that Buck can be satanic. To become the lead dog of the sled team, he would fight to the bloody death of the lead dog, and that was what he did later on in the book.
When I was reading, I noticed something in the writing of Jack London. Francois and Perrault must of came from France .....

While neither is pure and good in the situation, the man who could not overcome her existence and was ruined by her was much worse off. Even the woman was able to overcome her humiliation at his remarks to her, and call him by a respectful title, swamiji, and ask for forgiveness from him.

Here Chaucer plays with the idea of curteisye; he is not mocking someone's attempts at it, but rather in his juxtaposition he exposes an element of curteisye not usually recognized. The reader gets the impression that this scenario occurr .....
