Hunger is a feeling all humans have, and it is one of the feelings and emotions that makes us human. In the book Dawn by Elie Wiesel, the main character Elisha is part of a Zionist terrorist organization. He is given the task from the leader of their organization to execute a captured British soldier, John Dawson. Elisha doesn't want to give him food before the group executes him, because subconsciously it will humanize the captured soldier. When a fellow soldier said they should give him food before they kill him, but Elisha responded, "He listens to his stomach and it tells him he is going to die and he isn't hungry." (Dawn, Wiesel.) This shows the colder side of Elisha and how he doesn't want to humanize Dawson so he is easier to kill. Elisha has experienced hunger himself when he was in the nazi concentration camps.

Newspapers provide the public with all kinds of information about what is going on within the community and some of what is going on with the government, including politics. People throughout the community began to only “…remember

Albert Camus once stated, "The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so free that your existence is an act of rebellion." If something is not how it ethically should be then it is acceptable to rebel within the limits of what is morally correct. In Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, he presents a world where the government has restricted access to printed literature so they can gain increased control over their citizens. The main figure, Guy Montag, shows an incredible growth in his personality through his journey of enforcing and accepting the government restrictions to stop the flow of information to a realization that the sharing of knowledge leads to a stronger society.  Guy Montag's role comprises many qualities, including that he is a loyal and accepting government employee that works as a "fireman" whose job is to destroy all remaining books and to burn the personal property of those that he caught reading the outlawed books.  A depressing and lonely home life influences Montag's personality, including a drug-addicted and shallow wife, named Millie. While sadness and loss surround Montag, he is a strong individual that can overcome obstacles and the challenge of the government's policies. Montag struggles when he realizes the impact of his orders from his boss puts on others, and that he must take a stand for the betterment of the public. When the government is not doing their duties of protecting their citizens, either by limiting their knowledge, putting them in danger or destroying those who disagree with them these actions can prompt citizens to turn toward rebellion.

Wynand and Roark both share a difficult past, and untamed thoughts for their time. While Roark puts these ideas into his buildings and uses his past as motivation for his future, Wynand allows society's acrimony to strip away his prominence and completely transform him. Wynand also enjoys the power he possesses over people, and Roark refuses to have control over anything at all except his buildings. Keating on the other hand acquires an imperfect definition of success and manipulates others in order to gain what he desires in life. Both characters allow other people to guide them through their lives rather than forming a life of their own. Keating will use other's creations and take credit for it, and Wynand will listen to the opinions of society and give them what they want to hear in his paper. When Wynand defends Roark he expresses, "All this power I wanted, reached, and never used[...] Now they'll see what I can do. I'll force them to recognize him as he should be recognized."(590). Although Wynand assumes that the power he has over people will allow him to express his thoughts, the media does not want to hear about it and his paper goes unread. He neglects his own advice of, "If you make people perform a noble duty, it bores them." (408). No one can appreciate the dignified opinion he attempts to express because they can no longer take him seriously. This is

This technique allowed them to reach a bigger audience. It was mostly used by terrorist groups during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Terrorist groups often contained a printer and a writer who together would make sure their views were publicized; the groups did not have to rely on an outside force to publicize for them.10 As new media technologies were invented, the terrorist groups were able to publicize their views to a bigger audience than they had ever imagined possible.11 The only problem was that they could not rely on people in the group to publicize for them; it would be almost impossible for a terrorist group to own a television or radio station. The only way they could get a piece of the new technology was to "create news." This is what most terrorists do today; they stage an event that will gain news coverage and then try to get their views publicized by
