Comparing Mazy May 'And The Song Of Wandering Aengus'

325 Words2 Pages

We know there are people who don’t dare to take risks, while there are certain people out there who undertake crazy risks for many reasons. People undertake missions to make their/other's lives better. Real people like Farah Ahmedi and fictional people like Walt from "The King of Mazy May" and Aengus from "The Song of Wandering Aengus" went through hardships. The thing that was similar about them was that they all had unexpected things happen to them. Their journey to accomplish their goal was similar as well, since it went in a logical order.

Each of the characters have different goals they want to accomplish. Farah, for example, wanted to leave her country (for safety reasons). Walt's goal is to prevent mean coming to the Mazy May creek from claiming all the unclaimed claims. Aengus wants to find a girl who he saw/found while fishing. Not only did they have different goals, but they also had different challenges. It was hard for Farah to accomplish her goal because the people defending the gate would only let people cross if they had money, Walt put a dog unfit for being a leader as the lead dog so he could try to get to Dawson, making it harder for him. Aengus was trying to find a glimmering girl that escaped his reach. …show more content…

They were all doing things that would change their lives. Another important thing to note is the fact that they knew if they undertook their goal and accomplished it, they would be rewarded greatly. In "The other side of the sky" Farah is rewarded with escaping her country and learning that human decency is a thing. Walt saves Loren Hall's claim and was "spoken of as the King of Mazy May". Knowing this, it proves that people do in fact undertake missions to better their/other's

    His entire trip was a journey for him to find himself, and I think his bigger journey is when he left home and decided to travel and survive without giving notice to anyone. He felt misunderstood by his parents, and maybe he thought by leaving and surviving on his own that would somehow show them how he thinks and feels. He also had pent up feelings about his parents from the past that maybe he was trying to work through by leaving. Despite the fact that he dies, his ultimate goal was to convey some sort of art in fleeing with no money or job and attempting to survive on your own as a young adult. People hear his story and want to do what he did.

    Another character which was a motivational part in the novel was Sofia is the type of self-confident woman unlike Celie. She is an aggressive independent woman who helps Celie and marries Harpo. She won’t give up on anything or even from a fight and if anybody picks on her, she beats them twice as hard as they give it to her. According to Alice Walker, “The hardship Sofia endures serves as a reminder of the costs of resistance and the difficulties of combating cultural and institutional racism” (Walker). By the quote we can say this was an excellent way of saying that enduring the difficulties and tough life like Celie was going through makes the person even stronger to maintain all the hardships in life and to keep up saying no to people’s order.
