Charles Tansley
Finally, Charles Tansley is one of Mr Ramsay´s students who is invited to stay in their house for the summer. As a student of the man who stands as the pillar of patriarchy, he has inherited the values of his professor. Hence, his role in relation to art is no other but that of questioning women´s capacity for producing it. In fact, I would say that one of Virginia Woolf´s purposes in To The Lighthouse revolves around demonstrating that one of the character´s main assertions against women´s abilities “women can´t write, women can´t paint” (Woolf, 130) is completely false and unacceptable.

Love becomes something important in their lives and that encourages them to be better people. In fact, this “looking for” becomes something central in their lives. Our protagonists, Kath, Tommy and Ruth also look for their “possibles”- the people out of which they have been created. Students at Hailsham do not have parents, nevertheless they forge relationships that help them define who they are- thus, art helps them to find their identity in a way. In fact, this fact of having no parents is another factor that allows them to demonstrate that they have sentiments and a soul. As Rizq says, the clones have the “capacity to create or invent the ‘possible’ out of need and desire. It is not their artwork that establishes their souls, but their persistent attempts to weave a story about the redeeming power of art and love in their lives” (Rizq, 530). Hence, as was the case with Lily in To The Lighthouse, we find that what is important in order to demonstrate that someone has a soul and is, therefore, human, is the “attempt”. What matters to the clones and to Lily is not the material result of their works, but what they accomplish by producing them, in this case, it gives them the hope that they can live a longer
In the book, A Long Walk to Water, by Linda Sue Park, Salva learns it is okay to rely on others for help. This essay view’s on how Salva was able to make it through the desert, despite all the difficulties, using motivating words from his uncle. “He had to slow down, and for the first time on the long journey, he had began to lag behind the group.” (Linda Sue Park,53) At this point in the walk through the Akobo Desert Salva was behind the group thirsty, injured, and tired, not sure if he could keep walking.
This object is one of the most important because without it the clones wont be able to take over and the book wouldn’t become more interesting. Another key object in the book is the money bag. “Although encumbered by the shopping bag–which was most likely full of money– and the attaché case containing the trade secrets that Beckmann had been selling” (Koontz 27). Due to this money

Salva had faced many challenges for instance, most the time he was on the line of starvation, and dehydration. He didn’t have food for about a week at one point and almost collapsed to the ground, he had to get honey out of a beehive with vicious bees constantly stinging them. Although he was starving that little glob of honey satisfied him well, because it could keep him going longer, as he enjoyed the honey in his stomach. In A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park, the author tells the story of two children. A girl who gets water every day at a pond and walks for hours so her family can live off the water, and a boy who got separated from his family and must go on an torturous journey.
Try to imagine having to flee your home because of war, or having to deal with the grief of losing your entire family, best friend, and watching your uncle die in front of your eyes, or living through a genocide that killed 2 million people. Now imagine doing that before you were even 13 years old. In A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park, the book follows 11 year-old Salva trying to escape war in his home of southern Sudan.

3: Characters The characters in the book, The Unspoken, by Thomas Fahy, are all very important to the book. Without each of the characters, the book wouldn 't be as good as it is. Some of the people in the book that were important were Jacob, one of the antagonists. Allison, the main character and protagonist, and The Doctor, a hidden man gone bad.
Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. It drives us all. It makes us believe in something even when we think everything is against us. Author Nam Le explores the theme of hope in his short story, The Boat and director John Hill coat in his film, The Road. The author and director explore the theme through character development, scenery, the use of symbols and metaphors also through character behaviours.
Imagine being on the run from war for almost twenty years. Imagine finding a place where you think you are safe, but are later forced to move. One of the main characters in Linda Sue Parks’ novel, A Long Walk to Water, Salva, experienced this. Salva was once one of the Lost Boys of Sudan. The young man was constantly moving and had tenacity, but on his way, he lost many of those he trusted most.
Even at a young age, they were discouraged from escaping Hailsham with the threats of death beyond its walls. The fear of rebelling has been innate to them, that they themselves begin to believe that they are less than human despite having emotions, relationships, They have aspirations, vices, and regrets. Their actions ceased to become voluntary the moment their fates were instilled in them. The sole purpose of the clones is for them to be mutilated until all functional integrity is lost.
Forgiving someone is one of the best things you could do. However, for you to forgive someone, you must accept what has happened and be ready to move on. Forgiving someone gives them an opportunity to redeem themselves, and allows them to move on as well. By accepting the past, you might find reasoning within the mistakes of the others, and give you as better understanding of how you should act. Forgiveness is a large part of The First Stone, and within the story is a valuable lesson:
Hills Like White Elephants” The story contains two main character arguing about the procedure of an abortion. Jig is obviously questioning their relationship. By the way she replies to him and by the current situation they are going through. She is certainly unhappy with their relationship at the moment.
In addition, Ishiguro utilizes the clones as a reflection to human morality. All humans face adversities in life that are inexorable, death being one certain source of trauma. When Tommy, Kathy’s boyfriend, must donate his vital organs and face death, he compares life to a “river” where “the current is too strong” and they will inevitably “drift apart” (Ishiguro 282). By comparing life to a fast-moving river, Tommy realizes that tragedies like death is unavoidable. Therefore, Tommy and Kathy cherish the time they have left together rather than anguishing.
That power trip in humans can lead to an unhealthy obsession. Scientist who create clones will have too much power, which will lead to them becoming so obsessed with their work that that is all they care about. In “The Birthmark,” Aylmer became obsessed with just the slightest flaw in a perfect woman, to the point where “when they sat together at the evening hearth his eyes wandered stealthily to her cheek…” (Hawthorne 2). Even when Aylmer was sitting, enjoying time with his wife, he was thinking about the birthmark.
Have you ever gone through the desert with only a small gourd of water? Well, the Lost boys of Sudan went through South Sudan to get away from the war, and some other challenges. In the book a Walk to Water Salva and Nya have problems of getting water, but Salva is based on a real person who went through the challenges of losing his family and the brutal Sudanese war. These are some of the challenges he faced and how he solved them with what he had throughout his life. Through harsh challenges Salvas new foster family was always there for him to support and encourage him through tough times.
“A true friend accepts who you are and helps you become who you should be.” Steve and Nathaniel proved that friendship and happiness can be real in the novel The Soloist by Steve Lopez. The way friendship is portrayed in the novel is unexpected in such a way that we don’t see it happen often in our daily life. It is important to our society because finding a true friend is really difficult to find. True friendship is hard to find now in days because we expect many things in return from other people.
