Motivations- Throughout the play, Otto Frank’s goal is to protect the families and make sure that they are safe until the end of the war. Mr. Frank is what some people would call “The Man of the House” because he is always acting like a leader and takes care of everyone. When Anne passes out, Mr. Frank doesn’t hesitate to risk their concealment by getting water for Anne, which shows how committed he is to helping his family. He argues, “If they’ve found us, they’ve found us.
Mr. Morrison will give up anything for the people he loves. Would you be brave enough to stand up to a white killer with a gun? Mr. Morrison stood up for Papa and the Logan family, even though he could get hurt and face consequences. Mr. Morrison, Papa, and Stacy were heading to the house when the Wallaces came by.

“I thought Mr.Clutter was a very nice gentleman. I thought so right up to the moment I cut his throat," these are the exact words quotes by Perry Smith when confiding in his friend Truman Capote. These are not the words of a remorseful man. Perry Smith and Dick Hickock invaded the Clutter family home looking for fortune they heard the family had. Only finding way less than half of the amount they thought, this enraged Perry.
If someone is doing something wrong the Hound will attack violently. When someone dies they are brought to the incinerator and everyone seems like nothing happened. This is a warning because in the future violence could be over used and part of life, but no one would notice because violent actions would be used everyday. Secondly, in Fahrenheit 451 violence is amusing to their society. The government wants to put on a good show for everyone to enjoy.
He conveys to his father, “He’s not very old… I killed him.” This statement shows his regret for killing his fellow man. This movie reveals to us the true measure of manhood. What it means to be a man is to be brave enough to do what is right and to stand true to your conscience.
As a reader it’s easy to tell the action was from the heart not just a malicious act. If so he would have went around killing every half-dead soldier that was lying on the ground. If he were to kill the brother of the wounded soldier Major Halcrow this way I would feel a bit differently. These were two people who just basically demised each other and wouldn’t mind seeing the other die. I believe to fully understand you have to take yourself out of the 21st century.
In Slaughterhouse Five, the Tralfamadorians provided Billy Pilgrim with an easy way of dealing with the tragedies he’d encounter. They informed Billy of their philosophy of death: “When the Tralfamadorians sees a corpse, all he thinks is that the dead person is in bad condition in that particular moment, but that the same person is just fine in plenty of other moments. Now, when I myself hear that somebody is dead, I simply shrug and say what the Tralfamadorians say about dead people, which is ‘So it goes’”(Kurt Vonnegut 27). The quote ‘So it goes’ is quite relevant in the Slaughterhouse Five because it is repeated after Vonnegut announces a death. It can be concluded that Kurt Vonnegut decided to incorporate this to show Billy Pilgrim’s numbness to trauma because of the PTSD he is dealing with.
Dickens sums up what Carton died for with a soliloquy, where he says, “I see that I hold a sanctuary in their hearts, and in the hearts of their descendants…I know that each was not more honoured and held sacred in the other’s soul, than I was in the souls of both.” Even though Carton
The author said that Deaver has the ability to give others a feeling that he is very professional even from his outlook and his behavior. His sign “Visa and Master Charge Welcome Here” presents him as primarily a businessman (Cable 102). That sign don't contain any nonsense, just indicate that I am professional and my work definitely deserved that price. Furthermore, note that his family started the business way back in 1915, so each generation in his family should be skilled and proficient in holding a funeral, hence people tend to believe this kind of family business, not only they are more likely to be professional, but they do have some experience that must gain from the practice. What is more, “The Last Stop” depicts a funeral director who don’t have too much words, but every word he said is related to the business and his work.
This however, seems to be just an excuse as friendships ought to last even after a friend’s death, since Nick demonstrates his friendship and loyalty by arranging Gatsby’s funeral and trying his best to get people to attend it. This thus proves the superficial and fleeting relationships formed throughout the
She seemed almost happy as she lay on the ground in her final moments. This leads us to believe that the subjects who underwent this metamorphosis, did so out their own free will. Those who underwent this transfiguration did so as a final stage of their life; a form of non-violent suicide. The stress and pressures of the world built up on them and using Gregor’s escape from this world as an example, they followed suit.
He uses ethos when he speaks, “To the families of the fallen, the nation shares in your grief.” By saying this, he lets the families know that the whole nation is right beside you. Obama further employs ethos when he states, “they’ve now passed it onto us.” These victims died and now the country has to continue their work. We have to continue to overcome the racial barriers and prejudices.
Since he didn 't want to cause anymore trouble than there already was, he decided to accept the blame and carry it on his shoulders all alone. Even though it was difficult for him, he took full responsibility for everything that he was accused of. Luckily, the court did not find him guilty. William Mulholland
In conclusion, I too have had my fair shares of attending funerals and I understand that at a young age to be forced to attend one can be a bit dramatic. Especially if you are told to attend the funeral but don’t have any idea of who the person passing is aside from knowing who one of the relatives are. Funerals can be hard to attend but the important thing is to be there for the ones that are close to you and be with them in their time of
Lastly, Proctor knew he was going to die and he was happy because he had confessed of his sins and he was a clean man in his own eyes and Elizabeth’s. She knows how he feels about committing the terrible sins he has in the past. Elizabeth tells proctor “do as you will, do as you will” giving him release to decide for himselfbecause she knows what he is going through and doesn’t want to influence him to live the way she wants him to. She wants him to stay because she loves him but she knows that he cannot admit to the life of lies that he is accused of doing (Miller 209).
