Attachment theory

William Faulker once said, ?I decline to accept the end of man? I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance?? The quote claims that humans reject defeat and will prevail despite many hardships. Ernest Hemmingway?s story The Old Man and the Sea, Elie Wiesel?s Night, and Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Old man and the sea: He is often cramped and injured yet he still tries for the fish. His endurance allows for him to triumph Night: Despite the horrible events Elie went through (such as the extreme lack of food and seeing gruesome events such as babies being shot) he prevailed and went on to live his life.

Brave New World Summarize Major Points: The major points within this text seem to be of the order of the cast system, the pressured promiscuity with no procreation, to always be in a drug induced stupor, to have stability all costs, and no free thinking. Climax/Resolution: The climax of this texts takes place when John The Savage is causing a commotion in the park and trying to stop all of the soma from being rationed. Near the end, he gives into the Brave New World lifestyle and partakes in an orgy. Saddened and frustrated he was submissive enough to give in, he hangs himself. Specific Events:
