This happens because Ulrich has the land but Georg was jealous of him and Ulrich is angry that his enemy is hunting on his land. Later when they meet each other face to face on the Ulrich’s land with their guns. However, a tree falls on both men, they could only rely on how fast their men would come and be rescued first, and the other will die under the tree. After arguing a while, Ulrich requests Georg to be his friend. Nevertheless, when they hear footsteps of hope, it turns out to be a pack of wolves.
The father was mad at his wife for what she had done, so he saw it as his wife threw their sweet little girl to the wolves. Was this really what happened? Well the husband actually never knew what happened, he just assumed the worst. Since the husband kept repeating this story over and over the son only could picture “Aanakwad swing the girl lightly over
During the story it also describes their attempts to converse with an A&W employee, but no one will offer them consolation. O’Brien himself realizes that if he didn’t have writing to work through his trauma, he might be in wretched into a place as Bowker. Both stories also talk about the tragedy of the deaths that were occurring. In The Things They Carried Kiowa was an loved member of the alpha company and O’Brien friend. Although O’Brien is unclear about whether or not he actually threw a grenade and killed a man outside My Khe, his memory of the man’s corpse is strong and recurring, symbolizing humanity’s guilt over war’s horrible acts.
“At one point, I remember, we paused over a picture of Ted Lavender, and after a while Jimmy rubbed his eyes and said he’d never forgiven himself for Lavender’s death. It was something that would never go away, he said quietly, and I nodded and told him I felt the same about certain things” (Obrien 27). Another theme is fear of shame as motivation. Tim O’Brien experiences this himself when he is on the boat with Elroy. He decides to go to war because he is ashamed of running from it.
We can tell that the writer resents and is frustrated by his father as it says “and he being him can’t help but say.......... and I, being me” which shows that he is frustrated at their relationship. However the Harmonium is used to describe his father so therefore his family life whereas in Nettles it is reversed. The Nettles, that had caused pain for the boy, is actually describing soldiers and war therefore the underlying message is not about family but about war and the underlying message
What are the effects on Ishmael from being a boy soldier? Well my belief is that he became cold from all the fighting and blood shed he has seen as a boy soldier. In the book, A Long way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier, Ishmael said “Every time people come at us with the intention of killing us, I close my eyes and wait for death. Even thought I am still alive, I feel like each time I accept death, part of me dies. Very soon I will completely die and all that will be left is my empty body walking with you.
Next, during the biased trial, Mr. Glimmer continuously addresses Tom rudely, calling him “boy”: “Had your eye on her a long time, hadn’t you boy?” and “…do all that chopping and hauling for her, boy” (263, 263). Then, Tom also faces a cruel, harsh death, the manner of which a white man would never receive; he receives “seventeen bullet holes in him,” while trying to escape prison (315). Second, Mr. Robinson does good for others, seeking nothing in return. Every time Tom passes the Ewell residence, Mayella has a task for him to accomplish, such as chopping fireweed and toting water. Tom accepts no money for his assistance and is glad to be helping out to the best of his abilities.
When Bont adds attempted murder to his other crimes, the demoralized village finally calls him to account. Bont’s sentence and death highlight the grievous punishments given out. Bont cares nothing for his children and they live in fear of him, just as Anna did as a child. Anna also remembers the ‘scold’s bridle’-an iron cage that was fastened over the head of a woman who offended her husband- and the way in which her mother was lead around in it by Bont ‘yanking hard on the chain so that the iron sliced her tongue’. Although Bont has virtually no redeeming qualities, Brooks nevertheless elicits some sympathy for him when the shocking events of his boyhood are revealed.
“The Raven” focuses more on symbolism and tone to provide the reader with a glimpse into the mindset of a man stricken with the memories of a lost love. On the contrary, “The Things They Carried” uses epiphanies and imagery to let the reader experience the guilt that Lieutenant Cross experiences after the loss of his comrade. The conflict in “The Things We Carried” is resolved when Lieutenant Cross decides to forego his feelings for Martha and atone for his mistakes by leading the rest of the platoon to the best of his ability. On the other hand, “The Raven” holds no clear resolution for the reader. The story ends with the main character sinking more deeply into his own despair.
After his people rob him of all the money he has received from the “white man” in order to feed their alcoholism, he is also cannibalized when they steal his wooden leg.
