Not only is it dangerous for the patient to try and maneuver his walker up and down the stairs, it will also be painful. Since the patient lives alone and has limited contact with his son, he risks becoming completely isolated. He also jointly runs a bakery, which is located on the first floor of his apartment building, with his brother Karl. Therefore, Karl will be unavailable to help since he will be busy with the business and will not be receiving any help from Mr. Trosack. The apartment is also small and cluttered with spaces not suited for a walker.
This evidently shows us that the writer did not add them to the novel to serve one small, simple purpose. By critically looking at the McPheron brothers it can be said that Raymond is more optimistic compared to Harold. For instance, on pg. 58 Harold and Raymond have a little quarrel about how it could and couldn’t snow tonight. Raymond looks at the possibility of how it could snow even though his brother is giving him all these facts of how it is too cold and too dry to snow.
It is a replication of the media's fantasy of the "real man" (tough guise). As the dominant male figure, he strives only for these few things but rarely succeeds in getting them because his wife makes most of the household decisions. During the entire episode, Ray is only seen doing housework once. Unfortunately, he is completely clueless as to what to do and Debbie has to take over. This clearly shows that even though Ray is the dominant one in the house, he is not required to do thing pertaining to housework and childcare.
He felt let down in his father, as he didn't arrest anyone or carry a gun, "And that disappointed me at times". David saw Wes as a great role model later when he realized what a challenge it was choosing between being a brother, sheriff and an employer to Marie. David starts to see his father in a different way because of the difficult situation he was in, evidence of this is shown when he "could appreciate the situation his father was in" therefore gaining respect for him. Unlike Wes, Frank was a negative role model to David. In Montana shows that David believed that Frank was the perfect "manly" role model until his true colours showed.
This place, this house doesn’t hold good memories for me. Constant order and ruling, my father governing every dimension of my life, until it’s the way he sees fit. In that aspect, leaving the house behind is of no worry to me, but it’s the town itself that I am afraid to leave behind. I am familiar with every inch of this place and I am intrigued by it, even though my father says it’s a ‘dead end town for dead end people’. Saying that before my mother passed would get him nothing but grief from her, but that time has long faded from his memory.
The rebellious protagonist, Leonard Mead, is a unique character, different from other people in his society. He does things different, which includes taking a walk at night and not owning a TV in his house, which was what most people had and enjoyed doing. He is not afraid to be different or question whatever he does not understand. By the use of aural image, “push of his soft shoes through autumn leaves with satisfaction,” it is evident that Leonard Mead still values the natural world and wishes that he could go back to it, in contrast to the lifeless, sterile world taken over by technology. In addition, the use of implied metaphor highlights the dehumanised society, “lone car wandering and wandering.” This shows the power of technology and shows that it has taken over humanity.
“He didn’t give a hoot for public opinion, and only in his last years-after he had married Martha-did he bother much with the church. … He was a crank and a nuisance,” (Miller, 40). Although Giles is not ignorant in a mean way, he is just an old man that is not very social, and he keeps to himself. Nonetheless, he can still be described as an ignorant person due mainly to
Raimond Gaita’s memoir Romulus My Father explores how place is intrinsic in influencing an individual’s perception of belonging. This notion of place is highly evident in the quote, “without thinking, responding with the instinct of an immigrant”, highlights Romulus’ inability to adapt to his new home; Australia. This is further reinstated as “he longed for the European foliage”, because “he felt like a prisoner”, thus depicting Romulus’ disconnection to Australia; causing him distress. Furthermore, Romulus and Raimond’s home “has no electricity and no running water” is ironic as the protagonists in their home are supposed to feel a sense of security, but this home lacks the essentials. This emphasizes Romulus’ inability to belong to Australia and his lack of security.
It is portrayed as a very un-kept building which may be Steinbeck representation of men in those time as they only care about money, drink and women. Steinbeck describes the bunkhouse as 'long', 'rectangular' and the 'walls were whitewashed' and 'the floor unpainted' This shows quite a negative connotation as it means that the ranch owner doesn't really care at all about his workers he just wants them to work so he can earn money. We also that the workers don't own very much as they have '2 selves' showing that many don't own much because of the depression and that they move a lot so they don't carry to much. We also see that there are a few windows '3 small square windows' therefore they don't allow much light in this could mean that the dream that all the men want is so slim that it most likely will not happen for them and that they will either fail here or will just leave and try their luck somewhere else. It may also be foreshadowing that because there is not much light that for George and Lennie something bad is going to happen meaning that it is not a good place for them to be.
Whitman made every attempt possible to stay away from his family’s farm and to not become a farmer, which his father strongly pushed for (Folsom and Price 2). After the fires in New York, he moved back home, but did not go near farming instead turning to teaching (Folsom and Price 2). Walt Whitman’s basic teaching methods were simple and somewhat new to the era. He knew basic reading and writing, but he was a very profound writer and did not discipline children the
