......(indent). In "Theories of Relativity," one of the hardships Dylan experiences is the shame associated with being homeless. First, even though they know Dylan is a street kid, the police want him to stay out of sight so that they and the public will not be bothered by him. For example, one cold night a pair of cops wake Dylan when they find him sleeping on a vent to keep warm. When Glen intercedes to take Dylan out for breakfast, one cop says, "Get out of here and quit littering the streets" (116). This quotation shows how the public disregards street kids as shameful and embarrassing. Shame is one of many factors that makes living on the street difficult and demoralising.

Questions to consider for your paper: 

1. What is the ultimate rhetorical goal of the speech? What does the speaker seem to be trying to get the audience to accept or agree with?
2. What themes play out throughout the speech? For example, does the speaker focus on unity? strength? patriotism?
3. Why do you think the speaker relies on the themes you’ve identified in your answer to #2 above? How do those themes help him achieve his rhetorical goal?
4. What is the overall tone of the speech (i.e. somber? celebratory? hopeful?)? How does the tone contribute to the rhetorical goal?
5. What propaganda devices (if any) are you already noticing in the speech?
6. How effective do you think the speech is? Why?

Remember: Propaganda is meant to persuade us, and inclusive in persuasion is the idea of the speaker's bias/perspective. This could be a jumping off point for your paper.

Eng 11(S)

1. Chapter 5 quiz
2. Important quotes from chapters 4 and 5 explained:

--> Roger gathered a handful of stones and began to throw them. Yet there was a space round Henry, perhaps six yards in diameter, into which he dare not throw. Here, invisible yet strong, was the taboo of the old life. Round the squatting child was the protection of parents and school and policemen and the law.

        This passage from Chapter 4 describes the beginnings of Roger’s cruelty to the littluns, an important early step in the group’s decline into savagery. At this point in the novel, the boys are still building their civilization, and the civilized instinct still dominates the savage instinct. The cracks are beginning to show, however, particularly in the willingness of some of the older boys to use physical force and violence to give themselves a sense of superiority over the smaller boys. This quotation shows us the psychological workings behind the beginnings of that willingness. Roger feels the urge to torment Henry, the littlun, by pelting him with stones, but the vestiges of socially imposed standards of behavior are still too strong for him to give in completely to his savage urges. At this point, Roger still feels constrained by “parents and school and policemen and the law”—the figures and institutions that enforce society’s moral code. Before long, Roger and most of the other boys lose their respect for these forces, and violence, torture, and murder break out as the savage instinct replaces the instinct for civilization among the group.

-->His mind was crowded with memories; memories of the knowledge that had come to them when they closed in on the struggling pig, knowledge that they had outwitted a living thing, imposed their will upon it, taken away its life like a long satisfying drink.

          This quotation, also from Chapter 4, explores Jack’s mental state in the aftermath of killing his first pig, another milestone in the boys’ decline into savage behavior. Jack exults in the kill and is unable to think about anything else because his mind is “crowded with memories” of the hunt. Golding explicitly connects Jack’s exhilaration with the feelings of power and superiority he experienced in killing the pig. Jack’s excitement stems not from pride at having found food and helped the group but from having “outwitted” another creature and “imposed” his will upon it. Earlier in the novel, Jack claims that hunting is important to provide meat for the group; now, it becomes clear that Jack’s obsession with hunting is due to the satisfaction it provides his primal instincts and has nothing to do with contributing to the common good.

-->“What I mean is . . . maybe it’s only us”

            Simon speaks these words in Chapter 5, during the meeting in which the boys consider the question of the beast. One littlun has proposed the terrifying idea that the beast may hide in the ocean during the day and emerge only at night, and the boys argue about whether the beast might actually exist. Simon, meanwhile, proposes that perhaps the beast is only the boys themselves. Although the other boys laugh off Simon’s suggestion, Simon’s words are central to Golding’s point that innate human evil exists. Simon is the first character in the novel to see the beast not as an external force but as a component of human nature. Simon does not yet fully understand his own idea, but it becomes clearer to him in Chapter 8, when he has a vision in the glade and confronts the Lord of the Flies.

• Why does Titus want to go with Violet to the mountains?

• Id (Jack) - Ego (Ralph) - Superego (Piggy)
• id: includes all of the instinctive and primitive behaviors.
• driven by the pleasure principle: strives for immediate gratification of all desires, wants, and needs. 
• If these needs are not satisfied immediately, the result is a state anxiety or tension. 
• ego: ensures that the impulses of the id can be expressed in a manner acceptable in the real world.
• The ego operates based on the reality principle, which strives to satisfy the id's desires in realistic and socially appropriate ways. 
• superego: The ego ideal: rules and standards for good behaviors (include those which are approved of by parental and other authority figures.)
• The superego acts to perfect and civilize our behavior. 
• works to suppress all unacceptable urges of the id and struggles to make the ego act upon idealistic standards rather that upon realistic principles
