pride and versatility. Suggs lived through the "slavery" and came out of the
ordeal with strength of her character alone. Slavery at the time broke down the
slaves making them have low self- esteem and low worth. But Suggs brings about

... But his pain will drive him mad." This pain Santiago was enduring was part of his struggle to maintain some dignity. Most importantly, Santiago (and Hemingway) could not give up.
When Santiago finally catches the Marlin, he is proud of himself. He is looking forward to showing the boy and the other fishermen that he is still strong. When the sharks attack the fish, it is the same as the Sharks attacking his dignity. This is mostly why an elderly man, armed only with crude weapons would fight many Sharks. As the Sharks tear apart the marlin bit by bit, it is as they are tearing apart his dig ...

... these beast-people are highly
intelligent with murderous instincts. Their thirst for blood is pacified
through a combination of sedatives and shock discipline. But events triggered

The Crucible
Number of Words: 363 / Number of Pages: 2
... Rebecca Nurse for
Mrs. Putnam. Of course Parris doesn't know her murder of innocent people
is for him, but she does it out of a somewhat obsessive sense of faith to
him.
Of course the other girls aren't totally innocent, but they don't have
much of a choice. If they were to speak out like Mary Williams, the
others would accuse them of witchcraft, just like they did to Mary. In my
eyes the main reasons for the continued accusations were fear for their
own life, and in Abigail a need to have John Proctor love her, and to

Parnetta's Electric Blisters.
