Ellison's "Battle Royal"
Words: 1067 / Pages: 4 .... giving up would have meant

Occasionally a great spread of water, like white flames, swarmed into her.”
(pg.145) There is also a sense that man is totally not important to the
natural forces controlling his fate. “When it occurs to man that nature
