Clayton Vannata Professor Manter Seminar 001 May 16, 2013 Analytical Essay “Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend” (Albert Camus). A true friend can either be in a romantic relationship or a completely platonic one. This type of friend, in either category, knows when what’s being asked of them is too far; they are also those who want to see the best in you and will always be by your side, even when the going gets tough.
Money is not only thing that can make someone happy; it’s the littlest things that can bright up someone’s life, which is what the author shows in I am the Messenger. The desire for prosperity in The Great Gatsby contradicts to the quality of a good human being, which the author expresses. Similarly in the novel I am the Messenger, Ed’s good will leaves a mark on people’s heart as he delivers the messages. Ed finds out that the last three messages are about his closest friends and when he reaches the last he says “I don’t want to waste time. I’ve come so far since the holdup.
l. 26-27). Antigone claims that Ismene is not a “true sister” if she continues to be concerned with what she’s allowed to do, instead of what she should do. Antigone’s complete thoughts are conducted towards her family; she has no concern for what others may think of her as long as her own goal is reached. As Ismene tries to convince Antigone to stop being stubborn and to think reasonably, Antigone sharply responds, “…Leave me my foolish plan: I am not afraid of the danger; if it means death, It will not be the worst of deaths- death without honor” (Prologue. l. 86-88).
Is not that strange?” At the end of this line, Benedick asks if it is strange for him to love because they have always had a friendly war of words between each other and due to the fact that they squabble frequently. Benedick should take Beatrice’s hands into his own when he says this. Moreover, he should express love and honesty while smiling. Beatrice replies that it is strange when she says “As strange as the thing I know not,” and then she says “It were as possible for me to say that I loved nothing so well as you” but then takes this back by quickly adding “but believe me not.” Beatrice then reveals the cause of her sorrow and her true agenda, Claudio and Hero. While saying these lines, Beatrice should show signs of confusion by ruffling her hair and by walking in different directions and by altering the speed of each
In the fantastical world that is Cyrano de Bergerac, there exists the type of hero that has been lost in the modern world. Although Cyrano feels the ache of a heart “so heavy with love [he has] not told”, and the forlorn anxiety that he would “die without telling [Roxane]”, he is still the most kind and brave of friends. Since childhood, Cyrano had been by Roxane’s side. He was the one that she could depend on to be there for her, to play with, and she was there for him¾when he would hurt his hand; she would say “Now, what have you been doing to yourself…” The nature of Cyrano’s affection had always been true, and never for any
He scribbles a letter to Anne with the words “Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved no one but you” (p238). Wentworth learns to distinguish “between the steadiness of principle and the obstinacy of self-will, between the darings of heedlessness and the resolution of a collected mind” (p244). Anne’s unselfish behaviour persuades him to overcome his “angry pride” (p243), “put himself in the way of happiness” (p245) and to declare his love for
Also Eliza resisted the sexual double-standard which I found really amazing. “Marriage is the tomb of friendship. It appears to me a very selfish state. Why do people, in general, as soon as they are married, centre all their cares, their concerns, and pleasures ion their own families? Former acquaintances are neglected or forgotten.

All fires start with a single spark; all great happenings begin with a single flash of hope. Although Sŏngsam initially regards Tŏkchae as a bitter enemy, there is hope that the two former friends will eventually reconcile. Like the cranes at the end of the story that fly off together in the sky, Sŏngsam and Tŏkchae might one day be friends again. The first glint of hope comes when Sŏngsam remembers how Tŏkchae had given him some of his own chestnuts after pulling the painful chestnut burrs out of Sŏngsam’s backside. This incident, hopefully, will stir old feelings of gratitude and friendship in Sŏngsam’s heart.
