.... more careful, or you oughtn't drive." Jordan responds, "They'll keep out of my way. It takes two to make an accident." Fitzgerald attacks the motif of reckless driving vigorously, since it conveys precisely the vision he had of America. He saw twenties society as recklessly careless; the society was "driving on toward death through the cooling twilight." Through out the novel, Fitzgerald foreshadows the downfall of his own generation.

.... would be." Golding is suggesting that the societal taboos placed on killing are still ingrained within Jack. The next significant encounter in Jack's progression is his first killing of a pig. There is a description of a great celebration. The boys chant "Kill the pig. Cut her throat. Spill her blood." It is clear from Golding's description of the revelry that followed the killing that the act of the hunt provided the boys with more than food. The action of killing another living thing gives them pleasure. The last stage in Jack's metamorphosis is demon .....

.... that seemed to run rampant among the rich and famous during the twenties. An example of carelessness is when a large group of people at one of the huge soirees, decides to continue the party in the massive, expensive fountain in Gatsby’s lawn. They just jump right in and begin to dance without concern for their health, much less concern for the well being of the fountain.
