The students of Hailsham show passivity even though they look for hope, because they lack individuality. The lack of individuality could result in passivity since people having difficulty understanding themselves find hard to set their own lives. They struggle to find out what they want to be or do during their lifetime and because they don’t have any specific goals or plan to achieve, they have no choice, but to live a life predetermined for them.

This theory is false because the yawl boat was missing. The next theory is that the Mary Celeste was taking on water and everyone on board left in the yawl boat because the boat was sinking (“Mary Celeste”). This theory is false because the Mary Celeste was found afloat and it wouldn’t have been able to stay afloat if it was taking on water rapidly…

position, it is specifically aimed towards the boat people whom they consider a threat to the country. However, the political promise to mistreat the asylum seekers is not an effective vote winner determinant but is considered as a sign of depravity.

In order to provide details on why the theme is isolation, the painting needs more information on how this theme can be concluded.

In the passage Matthew 14:22 – 33, Matthew describes the scene in which the boat housing the disciples is being fiercely beaten by the waves in the ocean. The disciples have been alone, straining at the oars and struggling against the wind and the water for hours to keep afloat and they are tired.
