Everyone has many goals they set for them selves, and for every goal that is made, there is always an inner forces that hinder you along your journey. Two of the inner forces that hinder Jay Berry is his fear of the monkeys and over confidence. There is not one person in the world who does not have a fear of something, whether it may be a fear of heights or snakes.
After that incident with Jay Berry, Old Rowdy and the monkeys where the monkeys took it to Jay Berry and Rowdy, Jay Berry has developed a certain fear of the monkeys. This particular fear of the monkeys hinders Jay Berry slightly because of the monkeys "leader" Jimbo. Jimbo is an intimidating monkey who enjoys making a fool out of Jay Berry, Jay Berry is reluctant to get to close to Jimbo because he does not want to be made a fool of by some monkeys. The second inner force that hindered Jay Berry is his over confidence, one may not think too much confidence is a bad thing but it could turn out to be disastrous. Since Jay Berry has a great deal of confidence in catching the monkeys, it is easy for him to get too cocky. An example of this is when Jay
Berry sees the monkeys drinking the alcohol and he does not think to much of it.
Then in inedible happened, he got drunk off the alcohol and yet again gets made a fool by Jimbo. These are two examples that

The conflict of the Haisla people's spirituality and modern "white washing" of their culture has a major influence on Eden Robinson's novel Monkey Beach. The protagonist Lisa struggles to understand her spirituality and her family often dismisses any hint of spirituality. Lisa finds herself connected to nature but is does not fully understand why, leaving her to contemplate there meaning or existence by herself. Robinson’s use of allusion and imagery illuminate many key themes and implicit meanings throughout the passage.
Jurgis Rudkus and Ona Lukoszaite open the novel of The Jungle with a celebration of their wedding. The opening of the book highlights the best time that Jurgis and Ona will ever again experience during their stay in America. Jurgis is convinced that he can accomplish the American Dream, gaining prosperity from hard work and dedication. However, as the novel progresses, we soon see that this dream that Jurgis had is much farther away than he anticipated, and prosperity seems untouchable unless one gives up their morals and values and joins the capitalistic America. In this novel we see Jurgis start with a dream and end with a dream, however much is lost in the process.
Robert Sapolsky is a neuroendocrinologist who wrote about his twenty years of work out in the national park of East Africa. Sapolsky’s turned his adventure into a novel, A Primate 's Memoir: A Neuroscientist’s Unconventional Life Among Baboons, where he discusses the life of baboons and how they are similar to humans. I will analyze Sapolsky’s novel by explaining the complex social hierarchy he witnessed and discuss the ways in which the social hierarchy and rank system among baboons might compare to that of humans. I will then analyze how studying non-human primates in a natural setting is valuable, and will also explain how the scientific study of these non-human primates ultimately provides insight into not only our evolutionary past

In The Jungle, Author Upton Sinclair uses Jurgis, the main character of the book, as an example of what the common working man’s life was like. Jurgis, along with all his family are Lithuanian immigrants, who just immigrated to the U.S. Not knowing the foreign culture, they were hired by a meatpacking plant. This plant, ran by corrupt politicians, applied strict rules and regulations; not reimbursing/paying their workers enough, long hours, etc. Jurgis joined a Union, after realizing he should fight for his rights as a laborer. Sinclair’s opinion about labor rights was, that the common working man should fight for, and be granted more rights to increase their chance of supporting their families.
Eden Robinson’s Monkey Beach incorporates words and phrases from the Haisla language in an effort to reflect the protagonist’s culture while also satiating the cultural curiosity of a non-indigenous audience. The incorporation of Haisla is one of the mechanics of the Glorious Northern Gothic novel, as it provides a reformation of traditional Gothic conventions through an Indigenous lens. The Haisla language is presented through the protagonist’s narration and is usually introduced in an instructional tone or story. Italics mark most of the language in the text; however in some instances the words are not italicized or are only implied. It is through this process of marking that the use of Haisla language moves beyond a mode of integrating the protagonist’s culture into the story and provides a critique on Non-Indigenous Canadians’ appetite for Indigenous stories: what language the text contains and what language is omitted defines what parts of the culture Non-Indigenous Canadians have already consumed or are permitted to consume.

Introduction: Almost everyone has an irrational fear or two—of mice, for example, or your annual dental checkup. For most people, these fears are minor. But when fears become so severe that they cause tremendous anxiety and interfere with your normal life, they’re called phobias. A phobia is an intense fear of something that, in reality, poses little or no actual danger. Common phobias and fears include closed-in places, heights, highway driving, flying insects, snakes, and needles. However, we can develop phobias of virtually anything. Most phobias develop in childhood, but they can also develop in adults. If you
Upon returning, Ralph declares that there are no adults on the island and they will have to organize themselves in order to get off the island and yet still survive. Additionally, he also announces that the conch shell from then on will be used to speak and if you are in possession of it the rest of the assembly must stay silent and listen. In the midst of the gathering, a young boy with a mulberry-colored mark steps forward in fright. He says that he saw a snakelike creature the previous night and calls it the "beastie". A wave of terror falls over the young ones which lead the older boys to reassure them that it was simply just a nightmare he must have had.

If trees are located next to the cars, monkeys are sure to jump on top of the cars when they swing from the trees. Apart from bird droppings, monkeys too leave behind their droppings and leave behind marks. When the monkeys jump, they leave behind dents on top of the car.
