There are people in the world who like to the work they do and others don’t and that makes all the difference. But what is work is it something you enjoy or something you don’t want to do but do it anyway because of some other reason. In the passages from Shurwood Anderson’s Journal by Boni & Liveright and Walking Distance by University of Pittsburg Press both symblise work as things different and very much the same.

Goood Vs. Bad

The world is full of forces of good and evil all of which strive for power. “The world of goodness is destined to be defeated” is a quote written by Walker Percy. This could be interpreted as saying bad shall eventually conquer good in the end. Two books that fit with this statement are Animal Farm by George Orwell and The Pearl by John Steinbeck because bad seems to defeat good.
The Pearl is a good book to compare with the quote because the book does not have a happy ending like most books. One example is when keno tries to sell it but the merchants won’t take it for the price Keno wants. It seems that bad has triumphed over the good will. Kenos character shows that he is stubborn for not accepting the payment but a caring man for trying to uses the money to send koioteto to school. Also in the book the priest tries to get the pearl as payment for saving koioteto from the scorpion sting. The priest knows that the pearl is worth more than that but also out of greed he tries to obtain it. So it seams in The Pearl greed has triumphed over the goodness in people.
In Animal Farm the character Napoleon takes advantage of the other animals of the farm and manipulates them to do his bidding. In one instance he sends Boxer, his most loyal and helpful follower, to be killed.
You would think that cense Boxer was his most loyal follower that Napoleon would have kept him alive. This shows Napoleons character to be ungrateful and heartless. Also at the end when other animals look in during the card game and see the men and pigs fighting, the animals can’t tell them apart. The very thing the animals set out to destroy the pigs have become. It seems that in these instances that the bad has triumphed over the good. The books Animal Farm and The Pearl have both have ending that have a not so happy ending. The good in the novels have been beaten down and cast aside by the bad and greed of man. These novels are a prime example of how good does not always win in the fight against bad.

Thematic Essay

Leaders may have an impact on society that will influence many more people and countries than they could have imagined. Leaders may help there country achieve unity, stability or economic success. They could also send it careening to a path of civil war and backwardness. Leaders like William the Conquer and Napoleon Bonaparte helped there countries in many ways.

William the Conquer had an impact far beyond what he did in Briton but this is where it starts. He was known as the Duke of Normandy who on the 14th of October in 1066 defeated the English army and became king of England. This changed the language the people spoke, which had been the Anglo-Saxon language, to what it is today. Napoleon Bonaparte also had a huge impact on France and other parts of the world which we can still see today.
William changed the economy of the English isles drastically in several ways. First he had a census taken of all the land ownership and to establish a tax base. Then he put all this data in to what we know as the “Doomsday Book”. He also instated a feudal system that gave the villages and manors autonomy and strengthened his control over the economy and the monarchy. Both of these led to a more stable and consequently better economy.

Napoleon also made his country, France, become great in only a few short years. Napoleon instated many changes like public schools which enhanced many of the children learning ability which in turn being able to get good jobs the children helped support the economy. Another change which he instated gave women the right to vote helped the country not economically but socially. This helped napoleon because it gave him the support he needed from the women he had just allowed to vote. Undoubtedly Napoleon would have stayed in power much longer than he did but after his defeat at Waterloo he was forced in to exile. All and all Napoleon changes helped the country of France when it needed it the most. Through his economic and social reforms he instated a new age in French society.

Leaders may have a positive impact on the society they lead or they may have a negative impact. Leaders like William the Conquer, creator of modern England, and Napoleon Bonaparte, the emperor of France, lead there countries in to a new age of prosperity and stability.

The Real story

It was a long, bitter cold, night on a Sunday night. The cars, frozen from long under use, sat in the road, there interior stiff from the cold, hoping to be unthawed. As Geoffrey looked at his frozen vehicle he sighed thinking heed never get out of this frozen ghost city. As he looked about he noticed that even though it was dark yet still early there were no lights on. “Maybe a power outage” he said to him self, as the wind, bitter cold from the cold night air, picked up again. He started walking toward the nearest house, only a few feet away; he noticed the buildings, growning under the weight of the snow, sat still, unmoving in the still night air, the air cold as ice. He found it to be a bit eerie, too eerie as a matter of fact, so he quickened his pace. As he knocked on the door he felt the hair on the back of his neck stand up, he turned quickly only to see the snow, like pure heaven, was falling from the sky, muffling the buzz, an unearthly sound, from the lamp post, which lit up half the street. He returned to the door, he was being silly he thought there was know one out in this weather, curtsied weather that it was, he was the only living thing out here. But still he could not help but think that there was someone else there, waiting, watching and studying his every move. He did not know how right was.
