Asef Rahman English 10H 10/15/2012 Ethan Frome: a lonely man indeed The novel, Ethan Frome, by Edith Wharton, is a story about Ethan, a man torn between the moral obligations to his wife, Zeena, and his need for a person to love. The author’s use of foreshadowing, metaphors, imagery and motifs vividly convey the overall message that man cannot simply live alone and needs somebody in his life. He has Zeena but he does not converse with her at all. The fact that Starkfield was a depressing place to live did not help his life either. Although Ethan’s overall nature was damaged by the smash up, his time spent in Starkfield had caused his overall melancholy demeanor and left him feeling isolated.

Francesca Garcia Mrs. Welsh 6th Period 21 September 2012 The Weaknesses of Knowles’ Two Main Characters Just as the great Mark Twain said,” we all live in the protection of certain cowardice which we call our principles.” In A Separate Peace, young boys lives are recorded at Devon Prep School. Living in a protected environment has its perks, especially with a war going on. Yet the young men were weak; they were feeble in character, handicapped in the skills of handling a real world situation. Incapable of controlling their over the top emotions or scenarios that would make anyone drop to their knees and weep. Both of the main characters, Gene and Phineas, are equally weak, but only because of what they were exposed to or
Rusty Worley Mrs. Rich English 110 March 12 2013 Absence of Allie For any teenager, the transition of coming into adult hood and going out of child hood is never easy. For many, it can be a very stressful time and it can be seen through their actions. In the Catcher in the Rye, this is the biggest problem Holden Caulfield faces along with losing his little brother. Throughout the novel, J.D. Salinger presents Holden as a young man who is trying to find himself in the world.
Green light is always there, representing the unreachable Daisy. Nick sees how Gatsby is stuck in time represented by the broken clock, which also means how useless Gatsby is in the world he is currently living because he has no control of his life. While In Death of a Salesman, Willy also looks upon Dave Singleman who is a salesman he met before, as his hope of American Dream and model of success. He believes that being well liked is the key to success and Singleman seems to achieve that. Ignoring the fact there is nothing successful about Singleman.
The shelter, his only little hope now turned out to be a ruined shelter. He had been physically beaten by the weather, now his hope mostly taken away. Everything was in conspiracy to take his life, just in one hour at best he would be an icy corpse. He was totally alone, panicked facing his coming death. But “burned hands were better than dead hands, no hands at all were better than death” for a moment he thought.
Buckley Jr. asserts that “… we are all increasingly anxious in America to be unobtrusive, we are reluctant to make our voices heard, hesitant about claiming our right…” which is why the American people simply deal with unacceptable issues on a day to day basis. Buckley justifies his assertion through multiple examples that include the use of an anecdote (“It was the very last coach and the only empty seat on the entire train, so there was no turning back…”), ironic incidents (“Suddenly my New Year's Eve resolution struck me. It was now or never… ‘If you are not too busy… would you mind handing me a screwdriver?’ Work stopped and everyone turned his eyes on me, and I experienced that mortification I always feel when I am the center of centripetal shafts of curiosity, resentment, perplexity. ‘I am sorry, sir… I am not supposed to move. I have just had a heart attack.’”), and subtle humor (“… fifteen minutes ago she spoke unctuously into the loudspeaker the words undoubtedly devised by the airline's highly paid public relations counselor: ‘If there is anything I or Miss French can do for you to make your trip more enjoyable, please let us – ‘ I have run out of
Throughout the story, we never really get a grasp of any sort of happiness in these people’s lives, so for these bleak men and women, an equally bleak ending seems almost unavoidable, if not expected. I agree with this statement in that just about every character that Steinbeck creates is in some way damaged. There are the obvious characters, such as Lennie and
“I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cementery, and I have a tombstone and all, it’ll say ‘Holden Caulfield’ on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, and then right under that it’ll say ‘F*** you’. I’m positive in fact” (204) The above passage shows Holden's attitude on life and the fact that he is always disappointed with most everyone and everything. He thinks life is full of phonies, he doesn't trust anyone, and at every turn he is failing. Death seems like a pretty good option for good people, apparently. Fortunately, Holden winds up in a hospital in California and hopefully get the help that he needs to let go of childhood and enter the adult world with a more positive attitude on
