the answer
if you can't see it the answer is
I believe that Faber's guilt stems from his cowardice. It is very easy to see that he is not brave, such as when Montag has to convince him to go to his printer friend and when he gives Montag the earpiece so that he is with him without actually being there. While he is one of the few intellectuals left in their society, I don't believe that he had much in the way of responsibility because they were fighting a losing battle. Even if he had done more, it ultimately would have done nothing because the minds of the mass would not have been swayed by one more mere voice.
Thus, his guilt stems from his inability to act, but he is being too hard on himself as there is only so much that one person can do, especially facing the odds that he did.
Answer:
They don't want to assume that they support Jack in front of everyone, to avoid conflict.
Explanation:
Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers. However, I managed to find a question exactly like yours, where it showed that the question refers to "Lord of the Flies".
"Lord of the Flies" is a book that tells the story of a group of English boys who, after suffering an accident, are trapped on a desert island, without the supervision of any adult.
Among the boys, Ralph positions himself as a leader and tries to maintain the civilization and behavior of the boys while waiting to be rescued. However, the wild environment influences many of these boys to abandon civility and enter a complete state of savagery and violence. These boys are led by Jack, who stands as the antagonist, towards Ralf.
The biguns, who are the oldest boys, are divided between Ralkf's peaceful and civilized leadership and Jack's total savagery leadership, but are attracted by the way of life that Jack is offering, but trying not to create conflict and show infidelity to Ralf, they expect all the boys to be busy to support Jack, without anyone noticing.
"The Lottery" is a short story written by Shirley Jackson, first published in the June 26, 1948, issue of The New Yorker.
The story describes a fictional small town in contemporary America, which observes an annual rite known as "the lottery", in which a member of the community is selected by chance to be stoned to death. It is implied in the story that the lottery is practiced to ensure the community's continued well being.
Readers' initial negative response surprised both Jackson and The New Yorker: subscriptions were cancelled, and much hate mail was received throughout the summer of its first publication, while the Union of South Africa banned the story.
The story has been dramatized several times and subjected to much sociological and literary analysis, and has been described as one of the most famous short stories in the history of American literature.[4]
Please don't quote me wrong but I want to say it is conflict resolution<span />
