The Quote

When one is on a journey they can become lost within it it with all the obstacles that are thrown in one's way. However if one's goal is that important they can get back on track and keep moving ahead. Not even starting the journey is worse because one will have nothing to look forward to or have an adventure. The book I can think of with this in it is Frankenstein. Victor had a journey... well two actually. One was to create a monster which he did and the other was to hunt down the monster which he did but unsuccessfully. There are lots of journeys out there and one of mine is to go through college. I know there will be obstacles in the way but if I want a good paying job and status in this world I need to get a degree. That is what is in my life that I am comparing to the quote.

Power

Being able to be top dog to teach everyone below you on what you want is portrayed in the book. The language and skills the hierarchy teaches all the newly hatched children helps them try to achieve stability in their society. And i you think about it some of our happenings in society and the ones in BNW come form Shakespeare there for making it a good medium for the book. it gives the ideas more support which can be expressed more strongly if they have more support. Also a lot of people live their lives based off of information like Shakespeare so he has influenced today's behavior and actions as well.

Stability

Basically it is saying that a community exists by having stability and having the same identity. For having one identity it is a lot easier to control life that having many identities like a mother would have by giving attention and meeting the needs of four children. And with the many processes they have they are able to easily sustain a community. For their operation I think it fits well and is very interesting to read about. I guess I'm part of a community but have not fully fulfilled my identity because I'm not 18 yet to where things really start to count. Right now I have stability with living with my parents so when I move out there is going to be a little instability until I find my roots. Yes these things are important for today's society where one is judged constantly. I live in a small society so it isn't too bad compared to what is out in the real world. I don't know yet, I will have to see when it comes.
