He just stood there”(Faulkner, 3). What motivate Colonel Sartoris Snopes is a significant change in the story because he goes against his father desires about warning De Spain that the barn is going to be burned. He left his family behind and heard gunshot when he look back he saw the barn burning. Sarty deals with his decision is that he never looks back and is relieved that he does not have to live in fear.

In the play Fences, Troy comes forward to Rose about his affair, although it is a little to late. After Troy speaks to his friend Bono he comes clean to Rose and tells her, “I’m gonna be a daddy. I’m gonna be somebody’s daddy” (Wilson 66). Although Troy does not display a lot of characteristics of an apology deserving man, he does admit his fault to Rose and remains open with her from that point forward.

The theme of the story “Stop the Sun” is that understanding brings acceptance and this is shown to the reader through Terry’s frustration, embarrassment and finally his understanding. The theme which is understanding brings acceptance is shown through Terry’s frustration. After asking his mother about his father’s PTSD, he was told it was because of the war, but Terry knew there was something else, something specific that had happened; “ But it bothered him whenever it happened. When something bothered him, he liked to stay with it until he understood it and he understood not part of this”(50).

He expresses his feeling in his “heart, for I must hold my tongue” (1.2.160). This is an important quote because it is important to understand because it allows to the reader to see that Hamlet cannot speak to anyone about how he feels. As an effect to his decision of not speaking out, this allowed for rage and discomfort to grow inside him which will be one of the main reasons as to why he is legitimately going insane. With these various stressors in his life, it gives more evidence and reasoning to why he often experienced constant signs of depression and suicidal thoughts. The signs of distress he showed throughout the play are highlighted tremendously since he experienced major signs of depression.

Matthew Maule, knowing the events that transpired between his grandfather and Colonel Pyncheon, held a deep hatred towards the Pyncheons. He still believed that the house of the seven gables, and the land it rested on, belonged to his family. When the two met, Gervayse told Maule that he thought Maule might have known the whereabouts of a deed to a tract of land near the town. The deed had disappeared during the building of the house. After some discussion, the young Maule agreed to help Gervayse, but only under one condition.

As a prince, Hamlet has undoubtedly led a sheltered, comfortable life. He may not have had anyone close to him die suddenly before. The loss of a parent is a huge affliction, but it may be much worse because it could be the first time someone close to Hamlet has died. His gloominess starts to aggravate the queen and his new stepfather. They urge Hamlet to stop grieving for his father.

“When one has not had a good father one must create one.”, a quote by Friedrich Nietzsche which describes what Valjean has become. Jean Valjean, an ex-convict, takes in an orphaned girl named Cosette after her mother Fantine dies as his promise to her. He nurtures and loves the girl as if she were his own, but he also keeps her away from the rest of the world in fear of his own past. While Valjean may not be Cosette’s biological father, he raises and loves her, but he also hinders her from seeing and experiencing life in the world around her.

These divisions crippled France’s government and economy, and incited those of the lower class to revolt and attempt to balance the divide. In his novel As I Lay Dying William Faulkner plays heavily upon this theme. In the novel, the primary protagonists are the Bundrens, an impoverished family living in the rural South who are constantly being put in bad situations.

Claiming that he never truly did love her and proving that her father was right about him, “You should not have believ’d me, for virtue cannot/ so inoculate our old stock but we shall relish of it/ i lov’d you not.” (3.1.117-19) Hamlet’s motives for doing this could be to keep Ophelia out of everything and to not bring her anymore pain if anything was to happen to him as he went through with his plans. It could also be that he is still acting out as the anger/sadden son and that he needs to keep up with the act of seeming crazy to the onlookers. This action also connects to multiple other hasty and rash doings by hamlet that in a way is cutting of ties to his “old life” before he was visited by his father’s ghost and that thinking to himself, that if he’s going to succeed after everything he’s already done, he’ll need to cut ties to anybody that he could at one point had attachments to. There are hints in the line that Hamlet says to Ophelia after saying they need to make themselves clean of this relationship and cut all ties they had with each other from the past.

Moreover, Foer utilizes “the silence mark” (82) and the “willed silence mark” (82), to clarify the broad spectrum of sentiment he has with the people he is related to. He refuses to talk in detail to his dad about his recent surgery because the slightest thought of losing his dead pains him to the core. Similarly, he won’t let his grandma explain the pain she incurred during the holocaust. What is not said hoists the weight of love and attachment Foer feels for his family. He does not let himself ponder the idea of sudden demise or past grief, surrounding himself in soothing words.

The insanity defence is one of the most controversial topics in the legal system, used by many criminal defendants as an excuse for their unlawful activities. In fact, the Canadian legal system has experienced this in the case of Valentine Shortis, an Irish Immigrant who was convicted of killing two men, injuring one and attempted murder on March 1, 1895. Charged with murder and sentenced to death, Valentine’s Lawyer St. Pierre argued that he suffered from insanity, such as his inability to distinguish right from wrong. There was evidence from Shortis's friends, family, and neighbours who claimed that Shortis was arrogant and mischievous person. According to Friedland, the crown (Macmaster) stated that “he did many eccentric, rash and even

Many psychological disorders go unnoticed and uncared for: many people do not even know that is what they are struggling with. In one such instance, written by David Sedaris, he recollects his childhood dealing with an obsessive compulsive disorder in the narrative essay, “A Plague of Tics”. He argues that no matter what he did he could not control the actions his brain transmitted him to do. Sedaris uses emotional appeals,such as ethos and logos. He also utilizes descriptive language to support his credibility, describing personal facts and experiences.
