Use of alliteration with ‘handle’ and ‘hold’ puts a strain on how delicate his body must be at this time. In ‘Nettles’ the poet gives us an image that even though he feels well and truly sorry for his dear son he wants him to learn from his mistakes. “We soothed him till his pain was not so raw.” The way he says, ‘not so raw’
But his eyes say it all. You can tell that his eyes are tried, puffy, and scared by the mission and Rougle’s death. Cortez seems like he’s about to start crying possible because he’s utterly exhausted and so scared to how he will over come this tragedy. Hijar also talks about the death of Sergeant Rougle and he says, “I’ll never forget it, I’ll just have to learn how to process it differently.” Hijar posses and the look on his face is shocked, as if he mentally relived it for that quick moment. He just looks so sad and frightened.
From the very beginning of Shooting An Elephant, George Orwell demonstrates ambivalence through his affiliations with Imperialist Britain, his sense of self among the Burmese, and his ties to the elephant. In the second paragraph, Orwell says: “All I knew was that I was stuck between my hatred of the empire I served and my rage against the evil-spirited little beasts who tried to make my job impossible.” We learn early in the essay that Orwell hates imperialism and the Burmans, already making him ambivalent. Although Orwell hates being a British official, he has a constant need to feel important and needed by the Burmans. Therefore, he is excited when called to help with a loose elephant rampaging in the bazaar. Throughout the piece, we experience Orwell’s internal conflict between the imperialist police force he is working for, and the rude Burmans people he is forced to deal with on a daily basis.
Mike was being teased and looked at differently due to his moustache, and Greg was having serious trouble with grades and therefore couldn’t play for a team. Both Mike and Greg went through unpleasant moments because of their conditions. Due to his moustache, Mike’s grandmother confused him with his dead grandfather; she treated Mike as if he were her husband and made him feel bewildered. On the other hand, Greg was having problems with his dad due to his bad grades. That caused Greg to go to an old house, where he found Lemon Brown, where he was terrified for some minutes and experienced a dangerous situation.
Conflict can cause the loss of humanity, dignity and beliefs. In Elie Wiesel’s autobiographical text, Night a major loss in Elie’s life, due to conflict, was the loss of his faith. The Conflict that Elie faced caused him to question and to lose his faith in God. “Never shall I forget that night … Never shall I forget those flames which consumed my faith forever” (Elie Wiesel, Night) The conflict that Elie encountered was so overpowering and influential on him, that it caused Elie to lose a part of him that, before conflict, had driven his entire life; faith. Conflict can also result in a loss of humanity.
Lone Ranger, (Henry Ovalles) is a very picky man with deceiving looks. He has a tumor, but does not want anyone to know about it. Unlike Lone Ranger, (Macho Man) has too much stories to tell; he says that he slept on the wheel and bruised himself; he also makes a lot of noise and shares all his secrets to Lone Ranger. This is the excuse he gives to escape witnessing the birth of his baby daughter. Chaunice Chapman designed the set; it reflects hospitals during the late 90’s.
5. ? Section 6 3. I think that Lennie is in a way relieved, but also extremely sad and miserable. Lennie knows what that is going to happen with George – that he will be killed no matter what. Lennie don’t want George to be shot of some stranger peoples of him, and either wants George to die painful and scared.
Lennie is also a gigantic man who is unaware of his enormous strength and when under pressure, panics and often grasps onto things. These two flaws lead to his suffering and sadness. An example of this is when he crushes Curley’s hand out of self-defence: ‘Suddenly Lennie let go of his hold. He crouched cowering against the wall. “You told me to George,” he said miserably.’ This extract suggests that Lennie would have slid down the wall and started crying which shows his sadness and suffering because of his enormous strength and his panicking.

Macbeth of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth will never feel safe on the throne because of his mental instability and excessive pride. Macbeth has suffered major mental degradation that will continue to plague his mind and hinder his mental capacity. Paranoia, indecisiveness and mistrust are three of the main contributing factors of this. Macbeth is always suspicious of other people’s motives, notably right after he kills Duncan, however they were present prior to that as seen here when he inquires, “Will it not be received/When we have marked with blood those sleepy two/Of his own` chamber and used their very daggers,/That they have done ’t?” (I.vii.74-78). He did not believe that this plan would work.
