Humans often feel guilty for their actions and become merciful, while nature, on the other hand, has no mercy. The distribution of death upon the human race has and always will be a big issue. The merciless effects of nature have only been temporarily
The Crucible – Human Nature Human nature was fully to blame for the disaster which took place in Salem in 1692. Human nature is what your character is made of in trying situations, and in 1692 scientific knowledge was extremely poor by today's standards and so all reoccurring problems were blamed on an evil force, whether it be the devil or witches or anything the imagination could conjure, hence human nature was being tested regularly. The decisions people made were critical to

While the child never enters the action of the story, she becomes the catalyst that brings about the adult confrontations that shape, not necessarily for the better, the identity of the family.

If God did not exist, then humans would feel they were in the dark, not knowing how to deal with certain situations. Inventing a God in this situation would allow light to be shed on these situations. God is something that many people live for and center
confrontations and try to avoid them at all costs. However, I realize that in the business world, there will be differences of opinion and that in order to minimize the tension that results from said conflicts, it is appropriate to deal with any situations, perceived or otherwise, immediately. By acknowledging conflict in this way, we reduce the aftermath that such unresolved conflict can bring. One of the more common ways that we tend to use to deal with potential conflict is appeal to the common

Gibson has rich situations, not rich characters. That's why I find it so strange that the New York Times Book Review wrote, "Chia is one of [Gibson's] most winning creations."
