- ... So afraid that nobody is willing to do the morally correct thing. As in The Lottery, we see that people are reluctant to act out against the remainder of the group.

Nobody was willing to be an individual and step up to take responsibility and put an end to the senseless lottery. Another good example of the reluctance to act against the group would ... Nobody did anything to stop the senseless beating. It was obvious that the police officers were using excessive force. Someone even shot the whole incident on videotape.

Again, we ask the question of why didn't anybody do anything? What were ...

Within the novel, during newspeak, thought criminals spoke about the crimes they committed. The most popular crime was engaging in sexual activities with a prostitute.

For example people are always being brainwashed into buying a certain product by advertisements on the televisions or by subliminal messages. Winston was brainwashed into conforming to the normal society by ...

Slavery was thought to be undesirable in areas where it was not applicable ... union immediately as a free state (This broke the balance of the states, angering the south). Also Texas would give up some claimed territory to the north in exchange for the national government assuming it's state debt, slave actions would be banned in D.C. (again angering the south), and finally it called for a strict enforcement of the fugitive slave laws. Instead of solving the problems the Compromise simply added to the frustration and the anger.

- 14230: Ice Hockey Vs. Roller Hockey
- ... the player slides a little before coming to a complete halt. If a player happens to fall in ice hockey he or she just slides along the ice and most of the time it doesn't hurt, but in roller hockey if a player falls on the plastic floor, it is going to hurt. When players in roller hockey fall, they do not slide, it is more of a "bounce and ... lines, which are approximately one-third of the way up the rink from each end. The blue lines are used to create zones on the ice surface. If an offensive player enters the other team's defensive zone before the puck, the play is whistled dead and it is called off sides.
