This statement about monsters and men made by Michele’s father is very ironic as his father is the “monster” who kidnaps Fillipo and hides him into a hole, not the “monsters” in his make-believe stories. As the two chapters progress, Michele experiences a change in his innocence. Michele alters his fears throughout chapter one and two. At first, Michele is frightened when he sees Fillipo’s leg and due to this instinct, he runs away: “I felt my ears boil, my head and arms hang heavy. I was going to pass out”p28.
They feel guilty for the deaths of men in their platoon, for the deaths of Vietnamese, and for their own inadequacies. This leads each individual’s guilt to develop in a different manner and force the individual to cope with the guilt in the best way they see fit. After the war, the psychological burdens the men carry during the war continue to define them. Years after the end of the war, Jimmy Cross goes to visit Tim O’Brien at his home and together they look at old photographs and reminisce. “We paused over a snapshot of Ted Lavender, and after a while Jimmy rubbed his eyes and said he’d never forgiven himself for Lavender’s death.
These feeling are expressed in the story about Rat Kiley's letter, with which the chapter is started - with his feelings of grief about loss and final «cooze», because he was not written back and he could not cope with his loss. His pain is shown in the shoking story of shooting baby buffalo. However, all these stories might have never happened, the soldiers were fighting the war and facing blood, troops and losses, struggling because of their youth and immaturity, fear that cannot be ignored about war. This terrible experience of war is the only truth that author wants to make the readers understand in his

(miller, common man) He worries for his family so he decidesl himself by getting in his vehicle and crashing into an object so his family could get money from insurance. Ironically, this trait matchs Aristotle’s views of a tragic hero; “His heroic qualities contribute to his downfall.” Willy, at times, is a despicable character who complains about the bad luck that has befallen him. He is also, at times, a sympathetic character who has no control over certain things in his life that
Wesley lives under the shadow of his brother Frank and as the story progresses he is slowly escaping it. However, despite Wesley’s wilted physique and lack of superiority in the Hayden family hierarchy, he possesses a great deal of moral virtue and mental strengths. First of all, Wesley’s leg injury leads to other factors to develop Wesley as a better and stronger man. In his life he goes through many obstacles, such as his failure to go to war, and thus becoming the underdog of the Hayden family. This is discovered when the patriarch, Julian Hayden, says to his son Wesley “Ever since the war…Ever since Frank came home in a uniform and you stayed home, you’ve been jealous” (118).
Kowalski’s scowling character symbolizes a precise form of masculinity that relies on blatant prejudice as a collective feature. A close up shot on the grandchildren looking at old photographs from Walt’s experiences during the Korean War support the idea of masculinity he sets his life around. “We shot men, stabbed them with bayonets, chopped up seventeen year olds with shovels” the brutally honest dialogue concerning his time during War also supports his braveness and masculine obligations. The audio motif of the army drums reflects upon the masculinity of Walt’s character and reminds the audience of his background, also acknowledging the intention for him to pull out his gun. His gun in this film is a symbol of his masculinity due to the power it withholds.

And, on a more serious note, Quentin hid away his failed ZOMBIES (and kept mementos from them) instead of dealing with the consequences of rape and murder. Hiding away imperfections never has a good ending. Either someone will find out, or it will all be revealed in one big burst from containing it for too long. In most cases, it usually never good to
