I was sad and depressed. It was one of the worst feelings leaving my girl and son behind, but deep down I knew it was right. I had to do what I had to do, and I couldn’t let anything get in the way of my goals for me or my family. I knew that everything would work out impeccably in the end, because everything happens for a reason. Will Demps also writes in his essay titled “Groupie Love” that he removes himself from temptation by surrounding himself with like minded players.
Also, Grant used to be a very hostile man and he didn't care for anything but from visiting Jefferson he started to care about his life and the things in it, he dedicated his whole self to helping Jefferson become a man and he would get into arguments defending his choices with his aunt even if she was very important to him and they never fought. This is greatly shown when Grant is on a visit with Jefferson along with his aunt, Emma and the reverend Grant talks to Jefferson and tells him how he needs him and how he is someone who can do so much while he cant, then he began to cry. This shows how Grant wants to make a change in his life. Grant is a person who goes from being miserable and only cares for himself into someone who can love other things in life and fights for
Also, how he changes throughout the book is very noticeable. Elie, had to make a few major life-threatening decisions at the concentration camp. He had one major one with his dad. He would do almost anything for his dad in the beginning. But, his dad was getting beat up and him or his dad could not move.
That’s how it must be for Charlie, ever since he regressed. The whole experiment failed and he is the one who paid the biggest price. He will always look back at his previous progress report and look at his grammar and how much he knew. Now he can’t even use normal everyday vocabulary. He will always remember how much he once loved Miss Kinnian so much and now he can’t even talk to her right without having her cry.
He took many photos and felt ‘emotionally spent’ upon leaving the memorial. This is one of the results of his journey- he had learnt more about his grandfather from the register at the memorial and had gotten to feel close to him for once. Throughout his journey, Simon had also met his father’s ‘fuzzy wuzzy angel’ – the man who held him in his arms as he died – Roy. Meeting Roy had given Simon many answers about his father, and allowed him to visit his grave. Visiting his father’s grave was a sentimental experience for Simon.
Because of his back injuries he mostly did traffic control. He loved to help others and was very often the first one on the scene. He dedicated many hours to our community and losing him to cancer on November 25, 1997, was not only the saddest day of my life, but the saddest to the Bethel Community as well. The fire department honored Papaw during his funeral with the entire department in attendance and with the fire trucks leading the funeral procession through town. That was the day that I realized what pride in someone else really felt like.
My cousin Nicole was born in 1986 and the reaction of my grandfather is caught on home videos. The expression of love and high emotions were brought out of him at that time. The other cousin was born soon after and after long years of somewhat depression of his children moving out and his parents dying was suddenly erased. “He seemed a much happier and loving man that I always remembered he was.” says Aunt Jenny. “The years where his grandchildren were born was really in my sense, the prime of his life.” Home videos of me as a baby and Da’dooch together are proven facts that him and I bonded well even though I was a young
Sometime you have to make the doctors give you answers or point you in the right direction. If my father had asked for the feeding tube to be discontinued and I knew that he was not going to get better no matter what, I would have made them do it. I could not look at him every day suffering and in that much pain as I know he was in. The would have discussed the feeding tube with him when he first wanted to discontinue it and I would not have let the doctors or the people who visited him make him feel that he shouldn’t do. Who were we really concerned about?
Artie feels that he will never live up to his parent’s expectations of Richieu, because he was never in the War. An example of this is shown on the last page of the graphic novel, where Vladek turns over to go to sleep and calls Artie, Richieu. “I’m tired from talking, Richieu, and it’s enough stories for now…” The way Spiegleman has represented this in the text suggests to the reader that Vladek never fully loved Artie, as much as he loved his first son Richieu. This has obviously had major impacts on Arties life, and it has all primarily been caused by the Holocaust, because Vladek and Anja never fully healed after the Holocaust. Although ‘The Complete Maus’ is based around the interviews that Spiegleman has conducted with his
This demonstrates the unavoidable fate that can happen to anyone. As Candy was getting older just like his dog had done, he begins to fear he will no longer be welcomed on the ranch sooner than later. The symbolism that was expressed is that nature has its own laws. The strong will always dispose of the week was shown in this portion of the novel. It also hints to ending of the story, involving George having to save Lennie from any
