They realized they were severe murderers during the first two invasions. She tells him, "We are like you ... We did not mean to murder, and when we understood, we never came again ... We could live with you in peace." When he gets back to his colony, Ender writes a novel about the buggers and their interactions with humans as though the queen herself was speaking. He signs his name as "Speaker for the Dead," and this idea launches a religion. People start having Speakers for the Dead at their funerals, telling true stories without hiding any faults or pretending any virtues.
After he shoots the dog, he does not apologise to Candy and he even cleans his gun in full view of everyone, this shows that he is an insensitive character. Another example of his thoughtless behaviour is when he says, “Now what the hell ya suppose is eatin’ them two guys?” Throughout the novel it becomes clear to the reader that he does not understand why George and Slim seemed to be upset, he sees Lennie’s death as practical and he does not feel any emotions about it – he just believed that Lennie had to be killed and he was. This shows that living on the ranch as a travelling worker was difficult as he had to take many temporary jobs wherever he could find them, he could not have time to build strong friendships with people which made him an aggressive character and made his loneliness turn into anger. Whit is the opposite to Carlson, he has a bubbly personality which explains why his name sounds like ‘wit’, as he is witty. He is not bitter about life on the ranch – although it was awful to have the life of a travelling worker because it caused him to have to constantly travel around and made him not have a dream or a
Bellamy saw the select few who were wealthy as abusers of their power and money. He always portrays them as heartless. Another problem Bellamy describes are the selfishly motivated people of his century.

Simply put, the culture industry is a factory that mass-produces inadequate cultural goods. Through film, television, music, and magazines, the masses are brainwashed by their consumption. The products created by the culture industry might seem to differentiate people, however they force people to behave in accordance with their pre-determined and indexed level.

I believe this can be strongly tied into the Marxist ideas of commodity fetishism and false consciousness as the culture industry creates repressive and alienating effects through products and commodities.
Back in the days, they did not have as much as we do today. But when a new invention came out to the streets of America, it was unreal and shocking for people. In the 50’s they did not have much of anything. IPods were not even thought of and laptops were way out of the question. But the new thing for them was a television set.
Never achieving her dreams paragraph quotes: Steinbeck inevitably brings out the reader’s sympathy towards Curley’s Wife when she dies in the book. In the scene where Lennie kills Curley’s Wife, we are made to understand that she is just as helpless to Lennie’s brute force as the mouse or the dog were earlier in the book.

Both the text 1984 and the film V for Vendetta are satires that criticize humanity, society, and individual thought. Orwell and Brothers both make an effort to criticize each of their government’s practice of manipulation. For example, “Ignorance is Strength” sheds light on the oxymoronic messages the government expresses that manipulate their people. It shows that the government wants people to be ignorant and not to second think their actions or what is being fed to their minds, particularly. Thereby, it makes the government superior and in control of what people know about itself, its affairs, and even what they know about themselves.
