Number of Words: 596 / Number of Pages: 3
... the beginning of the book was that he was to pursue truth and knowledge, he needed to leave this alone because it was a pursuit of knowledge, but it had no positive motive behind it, and, as we have encountered in previous books throughout the year and throughout this one, truth is not always a good and noble thing. In this case the truth led to what destroyed the Judge and Jack was pursuing the truth.
The Cass Mastern story provides an interesting parallel to the ongoing saga of Jack Burden and Willie Stark. Cass is tormented, as Jack is, by the truth and this drives them both to the brink only Cass ...

school. Her grandmother told her to be a warrior and not to cry, because
warriors don’t cry.

... to study, they would only want to be educated by computer tapes.
Putting in knowledge would take less time than reading books and memorizing
something that would take almost no time using a computer in the futuristic

having any choice of creativity. Computers would start to control humans'
lives and make humans become too dependent on the computers.
Another point that is criticiz ...

... pace was a regretful process, that even Andrew advised Tony to not grow too fast but that would not happen as we know.
Another example of loss of innocence in the book would be Tony’s friends. The gang seems to be fairly innocent enough but they go through the lesser part of losing their innocence in this story. They have minor things such as hearing about the mischief around town and some of the horrible things that happen. Also the way they talk and act show how their childhood innocence is floating away while they don’t even know it. Then, there is the big example in one of Tony̵ ...

... arrogance by rebutting
with, "Are all very well for common people." He believes there is nothing
wrong with doing anything for his own survival since he is superior. He
also brings the situation one step further with his reign of terror, which
he describes as, "Not wanton killing, but a judicious slaying." He now
wants to have complete control over everybody through terror and wants to
start "the Epoch of the Invisible Man." This shows his complete thirst for

His physical appearance is ...
