- 453: The Awakening: Edna's Path Through Life
- ... found herself touched by piano piece, which she ironically entitled "Solitude," that her friend Madame Ratignolle played. "When she heard it there came before her imagination the figure of a man standing beside a desolate rock on the sea shore. He was naked. His attitude was one of hopeless resignation as he looked toward a distant bird winging its flight away from him." (P. 35) Edna never dared to think of ... fantasy is always much sweeter than reality, because when Robert returned, Edna found herself admitting, "he had seemed nearer to her off there in Mexico."

- 454: Moses
- ... the generation that left Egypt was not allowed to enter the promised land. The Bible describes Moses himself as once losing patience with the people and seeming to doubt God: rather than speaking to a rock to get water as God commanded, Moses struck the rock with his staff. For this, Moses was also destined not to enter the new land. Near the end of his life, Moses taught the laws of the Torah to the new generation that had grown ...
- 455: Lotery Death Of A Salesman
- ... strong enough to overcome it all. This is another demonstration of Brown's excessive pride and arrogance. Brown then comes upon the ceremony, which is setup like a converted Puritan temple. The altar was a rock in the middle of the congregation and there were four trees surrounding the congregation with their tops ablaze, like candles. A red light rose and fell over the congregation, which cast a veil of evil ... face to face with Faith. The leader begins up again declaring that "Evil is the nature of mankind" and he welcomes the converts to "communion of your solace".

Look up to Heaven and resist the wicked ...
- 456: Miles Davis
- ... Miles lost a huge share of the loyal audience who had been following his earlier career. This new electric music dared to shed a "jazz" sound to integrate the highly charged, youthful raw power from rock and funk. Ignoring barriers, this music refuses to stay in any "proper" place. Besides being multicultural, it makes an even bigger transgression: it is often unpleasant, assaulted, harsh, macho, eerie, and seemingly formless. Just as ... order with no concession for the audiences expectations or for presenting what the audience might be comfortable with. Despite the ignorant criticism of the time that Miles was selling out to the big selling rock market, this music is more real than real has ever been. You can question this mutant symbiotic merging of musical forms as a matter of taste, but you cannot question the integrity of its attempt ...

- ... id but he is a satanic killer. Unlike Jack Roger's bloodlust can never be satisfied. He is a brutal killer and a perfect example of this is when he kills Piggy with the giant rock. Roger also has a mind of his own, he is a free spirit that does not follow orders. For example, Jack never ordered him to drop the rock on Piggy, it was purely Roger that did it on his own free will. He is a sick and twisted individual, another example of this is the way he brutally kills the mother pig. He ...
- 459: Dave Matthews Band
- ... the feeling of the music that Dave Matthews Band creates, makes for their own following, like no other before. As David E. Thigpen, author, Time magazine puts it: The DMB offers an alternative to alternative rock: music that is conspicuously eclectic but plainly rooted in the familiar bedrock of Americana, the blues and jazz. By introducing acoustic guitars and shifting tempos punctuated by violins, penny whistles and other flourishes of world ... baseball cap. This helps create the well known "laid back" style of the band onstage as well as off. But quite possibly it's the way they "seem more like a jazz combo than a rock band, playing tightly coordinated phrases that suddenly veer off into flights of improvisation" (Thigpen). Robin Bresnark, from Melody Maker says: Their musical style is very natural, full of blues and jazz from introduction of acoustic ...
- 460: Debate Over Man Being Inherent
- ... not gentle at all. When the primitive, unguarded aspect of man comes out, Golding says that this is what happens.

At once the crowd urged after it, poured down the rock, leapt on to the beast, screamed, struck, bit, tore. There were no words, and no movements but the tearing of teeth and claws." Golding takes the viewpoint that unmasked human behavior is destructive, chaotic and ...
