Throughout the rest of the book Knowles keeps stating Gene’s thoughts of regret andFinny’s disbelief of the situation. In a true friendship, if one was feeling a great amount jealousy,one would most likely talk it through or at least think through the situation instead of trying tocause physical harm to them. Once summer session is over, Brinker Hadley comes into the two boys room unaware ofFinny’s return and asks Gene if he is ready to enlist which they talked about prior to Finny’sreturn. Finny who wanted nothing more to be able to enlist was thinking about losing his bestfriend but reacted differently. He kind of shook it off and went to shower.

(…) She wants me dead John, you know it!” (Miller 57). Even when Elizabeth pleads to John, warning him, he still shrugs it off as nothing, because he believes his extramarital affair wasn’t a big deal, this also ties into his arrogance in believing that no harm can come to his family. Any sane person would realize the potential outcome and try to reason with him about the accusations.

Among other essays I have read in this book, the essay El Camino Doloroso written by David Searcy seems to have won my heart over the other ones. This story is short; in fact, it only has three pages, but the message Mr. Searcy conveys surpass these simple pages. To be honest, I have to read this essay three times to understand what is going on with the character and what is happening in this story. At last, I come up with this: In this essay, David Searcy wants those who believe dreams are flaws and useless to think that dreams and love are those that motivateki people to live.

He says, “The Sunflower story brings up the question of whether Simon had the right to forgive Karl in the name of all Jews. The question appears to me as irrelevant. Karl did not ask him to speak in the name of all Jews, or for that matter, for the harm done to all Jews but only for what he had done” (137). Flannery thinks Wiesenthal made the wrong decision, and later on said that if he were in the position that Wiesenthal was in, he would’ve forgiven the Karl. I, however, disagree with Flannery because I don’t think that the war crimes that Nazis have committed are something that can be

At the first Julius Caesar contest, Hundert faces a moral dilemma. Sedgewick Bell was cheating and Hundert knew about it. Hundert told Mr. Woodbridge about his suspicions but he told him if he wants to keep his job he shouldn’t do anything. On page 169 Mr.Woodbridge tells hundert” Ignore it, Hundert or look for another job’. This was a problem for Hundert because it set a bad example for

If Lancelot gets on the cart, he brings dishonor to his name. If Lancelot does not get on the cart, he does not show his love for the Queen and he also brings dishonor to his knightly hood for not doing everything in his power to save his lady. Either way Lancelot picks, he can not win. Lancelot chooses to get on the cart, but not before hesitating a few steps. This hesitation will come back to haunt him for showing weakness.

This is a question that John Proctor has to answer in his final act of The Crucible. Was refusing to give up his name an act of excessive pride or an act of honor. Proctor wasn’t a witch, but he wasn’t a saint either due to his sin of adultery. What gets John Proctor accused was his inappropriate relationship with his then servant Abigail Williams. Williams uses her new found power over her towns judicial

further serves to highlight his grief (132). These lines all scan perfectly and have masculine endings, which confirms Hamlet’s grief. He is firm in his sorrow, truly shaken and disturbed by his father’s death. The alliterative structure combined with Hamlet’s cutting cries all add to his “weary” feeling, exhausted by “all the uses of this world” (133-134). Hamlet’s world is shaken, and his view on life has been altered as well.

In the case of this narrator, the Character is chosen by Dunmore to give his view, as the father of Anna, who will shock the reader as he is mysterious, as not even her daughter knows what happens in his life. This character is a writer who volunteers to fight at the front, so from his diary entry much is known from the outsides of Leningrad. The fact that the embedded narrative is a diary entry makes it more personal and gives details not other has, as the intradiegetic includes limited knowledge from the feelings or opinions and the omniscient gives none as it has a different purpose. Moreover, the character being a writer gives him the power of the language to communicate his feelings and experiences, giving good descriptions that leave the reader with a new perspective from the war. The age and experience of this narrator also

Referring closely to the language of the poets, explain how loss is presented in “Stop All The Clocks” and “The Voice.” “Stop All The Clocks” and “The Voice” are both written by poets whom have lost a loved one, they express the pain and grief they have experienced but differ in responses and tone due to the time that has passed. In “Stop All The Clocks” W.H. Auden expresses the pain and anger he feels, and is written from the perspective of someone who has recently buried his loved one and is experiencing the immediate grief, this influences him to be extremely dramatic. In contrast, Thomas Hardy writes “The Voice” to profess the remorse he feels, after his estranged wife dies whilst they were separated, this influences the response to be

The Bible explicitly forbids intermarriage, as it says in Deuteronomy 7:3-4: “You shall not intermarry with them; you shall not give your daughter to his son, and you shall not take his daughter for your son, for he will cause your child to turn away from after Me and they will worship the gods of others.” In Document #1, Ezra 9:1-3, which is a Jewish source, the Jews do this exactly, as it says: “The people of Israel, and the priests and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites”. The Jews had just been taken out of exile, and failed to isolate themselves from their pagan neighbors, and this failure led the Jews to intermarry. Ezra had just brought over 40,000 people from Babylon to Israel in the 4th century BCE, and the Jews had not a proper Jewish leader. Without a leader to give them a moral compass, the Jews were doomed to sin.

However after identifying himself, his butler informed, “ Chicago was calling him”. By this, the butler tries to suggest that the business associated must not be revealed. The situation here is perhaps a little suspicious of Gatsby and is certainly curious. As well as being the absolute mystery, Gatsby remains unidentified and an observer as he is “standing alone on the marble steps and looking down from one group to another”. He is rarely seen socializing with his own guests.

Over all, this story allows us to observe changes within the mentalities of army officers. First, the trauma of living in a war zone can add a significant amount of intangible weight into someone’s life. In “The Things They Carried,” we discover that Cross’s men “carried all the emotional baggage of men who might die (443).” Given that the majority of humans have experienced some form of trauma, we can understand how some men were driven to suicide and others into

He stands. "If I may be dismissed?" "You may," she says. As soon as he leaves, she sits down and allows herself to slouch a bit, striving to calm her hands still shaking with anger.
