Just an idea that came to me after reading a headcanon that Li Shan has separation issues after loosing Po for the first time and that he can't stand being apart from his family; Po and Mr. Ping. This takes place about a month after Kai's attack on the Panda Village. Contains mild PiLi and TiPo. Li Shan wasn't always a super clingy panda. In fact, as a young cub, and into his teen years and beginning of his adult life he had been quite content to spend vast amounts of time in solitude reading and eating to his heart's delight. That all changed after he lost his wife and son in a raid on his village. Suddenly the thought of being alone terrified him because for the first time in his life he truly was alone. So he threw himself into his work, trying to help run the hidden panda village and raise the orphans that Shen's attack had left them with. For thirty years he ran away from the loneliness …show more content…
great huh? So after finding out that none of them knew how to harness chi and having a heart-to-heart with his "friend" his son decided to train the village to fight... Have you ever seen a panda trying to fight? Two words: Not Fun. But somehow it happened and they beat the guy (though he still really doesn't understand how) and before he knew it himself and the rest of the panda's had moved to the Valley of Peace (which was never peaceful mind you) and were learning how to harness chi at the Jade Palace. That was over a month ago and now he was almost back to feeling normal... Like he did before Shen invaded his home... But there was still this nagging, hopeless feeling that ate away at him anytime he was alone or Po was off saving the valley... This was one of those
These various qualities significantly make an impact towards the character, causing isolation and aloneness. Although as a child he experienced happiness and joy which leads to hope that one day he can discover contentment
It was the first time in the novel where he shows a lot of emotion and a darker side. He is grieving and puts himself in isolation, one of the five stages of grief, which
In human nature, fear is a big part of how we act, but there is one thing that we are the most afraid of, loneliness. People are often social people, and when you take out the possibility of talking and communicating to someone, you will feel a kind of sadness. There are people who are absolutely fine with being lonely, but most of the human population will not be able to stand it. In Teju Cole’s book “Open City”, Cole creates a character that represents the sadness and fear of being alone. Loneliness is something that we can never get over, the main character in Open City, Julius, was forced to deal with the fact that he was indeed alone, without anyone there to comfort him, and even if he had found someone, it would not last long, and the only thing that Julius wants, is to able to be free.
Ever since he was born he lived in an ordinary world and most things were normal, but then he gets lead into a different world which is one of the first steps in the hero’s
“Money can’t buy happiness.” “Money isn’t everything, its just paper.” Anyone who has ever grown up without money and lamented about it has heard these kinds of phrases many times. In looking around our culture and society today it would be hard to say those statements are true. While everyone has problems, rich and poor alike, having money gives you access to more solutions to those problems.
An icy horror of loneliness seized him; he saw himself standing apart and watching all the world fade away from him – a world of shadows, of fickle dreams. He was like a little child,
Eventually, though he was forced to endure the torment he would find himself and his faith again, he even created a family of his own. When they were in the encampments, they were given barely any food and clothes including during the winter, which is so heartbreaking because it’s already
His loneliness causes him to “trying to feel some kind of good-by. I mean I’ve left schools and places I didn't even know I was leaving them. I hate that. I don’t care if it’s a sad good-by or a bad good-by, but when I leave a place I like to know I’m leaving it.
He experienced leaving everything he ever had behind, losing his father, losing his friends, and being forced to do things his body was not capable of doing because of the little amounts of food and
Stories are the foundation of relationships. They represent the shared lessons, the memories, and the feelings between people. But often times, those stories are mistakenly left unspoken; often times, the weight of the impending future mutes the stories, and what remains is nothing more than self-destructive questions and emotions that “add up to silence” (Lee. 23). In “A Story” by Li-Young Lee, Lee uses economic imagery of the transient present and the inevitable and fear-igniting future, a third person omniscient point of view that shifts between the father’s and son’s perspective and between the present and future, and emotional diction to depict the undying love between a father and a son shadowed by the fear of change and to illuminate the damage caused by silence and the differences between childhood and adulthood perception. “A Story” is essentially a pencil sketch of the juxtaposition between the father’s biggest fear and the beautiful present he is unable to enjoy.
He sulks into the woods, where he learns of fire and eating, and other important senses of survival. Feeling a wish for company, he seeks out a village and finds a cottage with a small family, but is instantly met with the same exile like treatment he received from Victor. After being abused by the villagers, he runs to the forest again. Shelly describes part of this journey in chapter 16, “Nature decayed around me, and the sun became heartless; rain and snow poured;…the surface of the earth was hard and chill, and bare, and I found no shelter.” (Shelly, 83).
The man thinks he is way to young to lose his father. Due to that he pities himself since he is alone. His father left him and the speaker does not think he deserves that. Within Li-Young Lee’s poem “Eating Alone” many different poetic elements are used.
