The Waknuk People

This line can be referenced to the sacrament of baptism. In the sacrament of baptism children are dressed in white and prepared for entering the church life and allowing God into their lives. Like baptism the child has no opinion into its choice of favorite footy team the parents simply choose it for them which occurs in baptism, the child has no say as to if it wants to be baptized into a religion, the infants guardians baptize him/her into their religious order regardless of their wishes.

The Beothuks were Aboriginal people from Newfoundland who in 1829 became extinct. (Pastore) Before the Europeans arrived the Beothuks occupied most all of the island of Newfoundland. (Pastore) After their arrival however, the Beothuk faced many challenges brought on by the settlement of the Europeans that would lead to not a single one of them left on the island they once greatly occupied. (Pastore) Many factors contributed to the extinction of the Beothuk including the arrival of the European settlers, which in turn drove the Beothuks inland, and exposure to diseases such as small pox, measles and tuberculosis which the Europeans brought with them. (Higgins, 2008) The ongoing war between the Beothuk and the Micmacs also greatly contributed

There are many ways to interpret this but I think the title is referring to a way of living. Haileab has always taught his children to accept people no matter what their situation is. Because of this many people have came into their lives and significantly made a difference on the way they view certain subjects in american culture.

Subsequently, The people in The Fringes see Waknuk as a society that does not wants perfection, but they want to be more like God. In the first place, the people in the Fringes have a very different idea about Waknuk from the one the people livig in

One of the factors that may influence that way that the speaker sees the enemies is because of the starlight scope. He describes them as being “What looks like/ one step into the trees” which tells us that in the eyes of the speaker the enemy may as well be standing right in front of him. Now human nature makes it easy to judge someone from a distance, but as soon as that person is it up close it makes it immensely difficult for one to say or do anything to that person. This seems to be no different in war for now that the speaker can make out the faces of his enemies he seems much more hesitant to pull the trigger.

One of the main themes the author conveys is fear. In the teleplay, neighbors are afraid of each other because they don’t know who the aliens are and what they will do next. An example of fear is when Charlie shoots Pete Van Horn. Pete was walking back to Maple Street, and Charlie shot him, thinking Pete was the alien. “But.. I didn’t know he was… He comes walkin’ out of the darkness. How am I supposed to know he wasn’t a monster

When the “Well Fare” system was first implemented by the European settlers, back in the late 17th century, it did not work then and it certainly does not work today. First Nations had “Fared Well” before Europeans; however, since the European invasion they have been the victims of the “Well Fare” system. First Nations are gradually losing their traditional ways of living.

The world would be much different if society does not pressure one to look like perfection. In John Wyndham’s novel The Chrysalids, each and every character must be like everyone else and if they are not, the village sends them to live in the outskirts of the towns where the chances of survival are close to zero. Though everyone looks the same, people think about the concept of society and sameness differently. There are three different types of people in each village. Number one, there is Joseph Strorm, leader of Waknuk, whose obsession with the norm renders him blind in seeing and welcoming the value something possesses, instead all his eyes allow him to see are what is in front of them. Then there is David Strorm and his group of deviants

What Humanity Never Learnt Humanity as a whole has progressed in a multitude of ways since the early days, but to ignore our flaws would be ignorant. In John Wyndham’s book the Chrysalids, he addresses a lot of these flaws he sees in society. This book features a small civilisation that survives a nuclear apocalypse and how their narrow-mindedness resembles that of the society we live in today. This book uses some of the many flaws of today’s society and uses those flaws to help concoct an interesting story.

In the novel The Chrysalids by John Wyndham, the readers are introduced to traditions and strict social agreements in Waknuk which lead to unfortunate destructions of their people. The Waknukians only accept those who resemble God’s image, which is a human without deformities unlike Sophie, who has six toes; the blind acceptance of traditions leads to the ruination of the Waknuk society of The Chrysalids. Due to strict laws, everyone is intensely devout in their religious beliefs and follows exactly what is expected, however these strict laws cause more hatred, pain and prejudice. Moreover, blindly accepting traditions leads to human destruction of freedom, self expression and ultimately growth. Furthermore, human conquest and mental control

This Christian reference symbolizes that when Satan disrupts the lives of God’s people, the people call upon Jesus to save them and stop the madness.

This quotation is an example of Kazan crying out to the public for forgiveness. Later in the film, Kazan tries even harder to gain acceptance, as there is an obvious parallel between his own testimony and Terry Malloy’s.

We are trying to track them down. The Enemy. Not particularly magically gifted but still a threat.They are strong, smart, and powerful. Members of the Intelligence. Trying to get us out of hiding and use us. However, we haven’t succumbed to the flames of the Intelligence yet.

“…brothers, this biting of their toe-nails over what is the cause of badness are what turn me into a fine laughing malchick. They don’t go into the cause of goodness, so why the other shop? If lewdies are good that’s because they life it, and I wouldn’t ever interfere with their pleasures, and so of the other shop…self cannot have the bad, meaning they of the government and the judges and the schools cannot allow the bad because they cannot allow the self.”

God doesn’t want us to be afraid of a man like us who he can always deliver us from God doesn’t want a man like us to intimidate us he does want us to be scared of people who are too weak is spirit to scare us .
