Tragedy On Longer's Peak: Walter Kiener's Own Story

The final thing that he did was trying to cover for Daisy and not telling the truth about what actually happened after the accident with Myrtle. Gatsby has himself to blame when it comes down to his fall. The first reason I have for my belief is that Gatsby should not have moved so close to Daisy’s house. Gatsby would base his

This quote is used to conceal truth because it conceals the truth behind death. Billy Pilgrim, after visiting the Tralfamadorians, no longer believes in death, but rather in an unending loop of life. After every death that Billy Pilgrim encounters, he states, “So it goes.” The truth behind death in war is hidden when Billy states this. Billy no longer believes in the idea of death so he instead hides it by saying that it wasn’t the ending of a life, but rather an unfortunate part of their life. Kurt Vonnegut hides this truth in the book because war tends to depict death as common and normal, and this is how BIlly perceives it; rather than death being a morbid and sorrowful occurrence in people's life.

Friar Laurence is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet for three reasons. First, he never should have agreed to marry them in the first place. He did so because of his idea that their marriage might mark the end of the bitter feud between the Montagues and Capulets. The part of his plan which was missing, however, was how the couple would ultimately announce that marriage. Although his heart was certainly in the right place, his decision ignored the possibility that several things could go wrong.

To fix this problem I manged to piece together some evidence to finalize unfinished conclusions. Deep into the decision Katrina made a statement in which overall suggested that intentions do not predict outcomes. To support her evidence she referred to the scene in Romeo and Juliet in which Romeo got in between the fight of Mercutio and Tibolt and intending to stop the fight, Romeo gave Tibolt a free opening in stabbing Mercutio resulting in his death. Not only did I agree to the evidence Katrina states but I also related it to George’s intentions with Lennie in the Farm. Not only was George not expecting Candy in joining the purchasing of the farm, but Gorge killing Lennie for what he had done to Curley 's wife was an outcome to never be intended.

He cites a historian named John Lawson, who talks about Native American folk lore surrounding the arrival of the British Colonists. In my opinion the use of folk lore shouldn’t be used in any evidence-based analysis; It’s unscholarly, and it doesn’t add anything to the conversation. In Allard’s final statement: “Although the fate of the Roanoke colonists may never be known for sure, it is clear that many factors—the difficult sea voyage, lack of supplies, poor relations with the Indians whose support they needed to survive, and the worst drought in 800 years—could have greatly reduced the odds of their survival. But people have overcome even worse odds before. More than four centuries later, the fate of the Lost Colony remains a mystery.” (Allard) He lays out plenty of evidence for both sides and still never draws a definitive conclusion to prove anything; causing the analysis to fall
