Kemmerich’s mother is not convinced that Paul is telling the truth, saying, “I have felt how terribly he died. I have heard his voice at night, I have felt his anguish—tell the truth, I want to know it, I must know it” (180). Paul deliberately continues being vague in order to comfort his comrade’s mother. She is relentless in investigating her son’s death, pleading, “Are you willing never to come back yourself, if isn’t true?” and Paul quickly replies, “May I never come back if he wasn’t killed instantaneously” (181). This is
A weakness to their relationship would be when his mother told him all the time that she was going to die. It made Gates feel responsible and with that could come depression and guilt. The big idea that is apart of Gates and his mothers relationship was him joining the church. If it wasn’t for his mother going through depression and him witnessing everything at a young age he wouldn’t have had that event happen. His mother knew very well about life and funerals.
He hints that maybe his mother is associated with his father’s murder. His madness and anger that are the products of Gertrude’s activities make him act without thinking beforehand. Ophelia commits suicide following the news of her father’s murder. Laertes and Claudius plan Hamlet’s annihilation which ends in a tragic mess with the deaths of Queen Gertrude, Hamlet, Laertes, Guildenstern, Rosencrantz, and King Claudius. So, now, the Queen, King, and Price of Denmark are all murdered all because of
When she had to flee because she was a mutant David lost a big part of himself too. A quote from the book that describes David`s feelings are “I lay, there, picturing Sophie and her parents plodding their way southward towards the dubious safety of the Fringes, and and hoping desperately that they would be far enough off now for my betrayal not to hurt them.”(pg.53) This passage clearly shows David`s and Sophie’s great friendship because it uses words like desperately and not to hurt them which show how much David cared for Sophie. The second person David lost was his aunt. Aunt Harriet came one day to ask David`s family to commit a crime. She asked David`s mom if she could use Petra for the mutant inspection.
Because there is only a certain amount of treatment that a body can with stand. Her father starting thinking that he was a burden to his daughter so some of the treatment that he was taking he start refusing but his daughter would not give up on him. There are so many good things to say about Susan Wolf, but the best thing you can say about her is that she is a Angle sent from heaven just for her father. The story about her father death really touched me and after I read it the first time I had to read it again and then tell someone about it. It make you think what could you have possibly done in that situation.
Their birth could save a life. A point against saviour siblings is the child doesnt get a choice. They are born and just have to do it they dont get a say because they were born to help save their sibling. They might spend months and months in and out of a hospital having tests and procedures. They have to go through all that pain and, in the end, their sibling still might die.
Either she was too weak to figure out her situation, or a lifetime of having everything handed to her made her simply not want to. Tom and Daisy left the very next day. And through how a stressed Daisy ran over Tom's mistress, Myrtle, causing her husband, George Wilson, to shoot Gatsby out of grief and confusion, it caused his death too. It still wouldn't have mattered if he hadn't died-Daisy and Tom still would've left. His dream of reliving the past was all he really had.
Devin Nicholson Nicholson 1 Ms. McLennan ENG 4UV-01 July 17, 2014 ISP Reader’s Journal 1. When I was halfway through the book I was completely aware that in the short term and long term of me reading the book Aminata was in constant danger of death. Aminata is always looking at the long term future and the chance of becoming free because if she was looking just at the short term she would have probably given up at the first sign of trouble. In the short term future it always felt as if someone was going to die. Whether it was Aminata’s husband Chekura, or any of the other slaves Aminata was close with it always felt like things were going to take a turn for the worse which left me as the reader on edge.
Without the understanding that the world is not a perfect place, it becomes near impossible to deal with the negative and preserver. In “I Am Capable of More Than I Think I Am” author Gregg Rogers talks about how he and his wife struggled to deal with the news of finding out their unborn daughter had Down syndrome. When Rogers writes, “for months I was terrified. My wife, Lucy, and I now refer to the period of time leading up to my daughter’s birth as “The Pit.” We barely spoke to each other because we didn’t know what to say. We simply suffered through each day, together, but feeling terribly alone” he is illustrating how fear can become paralyzing (par.
We were only getting a ration that would keep us barely alive. The pain worsens everyday and I can’t wait until that day where I stop living and just collapse, but then I think for a second, I think of how selfish I am being. My mother and sister wouldn’t want that, they would hurt knowing their son has given up, so that’s what is keeping me moving. Sometimes I question if they are still alive, but I shouldn’t I should be confident and think and hope of the best. I will survive!
