How does Arundhati Roy tell the story in chapter one? The God of Small Things begins with Rahel returning to her childhood home in Ayemenem, India to see her twin brother, Estha, who has been sent to Ayemenem by their father. Events flash back to Rahel and Estha’s birth and the period before their mother Ammu divorced their father. Then the narrator describes the funeral of Sophie Mol. It's a very disturbing scene where Roy describes Sophie Mol being buried alive (of course she is not actually alive) but she lets the vivid imagination of the twins run wild.
However, the relationship is one-sided, because his father expects him to be obedient and not argue with him. This a disappointing relationship because Henry's father tries to force Henry to do something he doesn't want to, also Henry decides not to go and disappoints his father. Another scene that shows the complexity of the relationship between Henry and his father is on page 263. His father is on his deathbed, and he tells Henry “I did it for you”, mentioning the letters that Henry had sent and received. Henrys’ father acted selfishly by stopping the communication between Henry and Keiko.

Because fear and pain does not play a role on this utopian society, let alone death, the term “Release” was created to veil the true meaning of death. When Jonas found out the true meaning of Release through watching his father release a baby, he felt so angry and confused that his own father killed a baby with his own hands. However, the Giver calmed him and explained to him: “Listen to me, Jonas. They can’t help it. They know nothing….
Also, in a way, it is to be believed that Neil saw himself in Todd, because Neil acted towards his father the way Todd acted towards everyone. By trying to help Todd, he thought maybe he could help himself. Neil claims, “the meek might inherit the earth, but they don’t make it into Harvard,” and he’s right, he’s meek, and he never makes it into Harvard. Todd’s worst fear is that his life has no meaning, and therefore, he has no verse to contribute. For example, after the first day of
Throughout the story Bartleby expresses his free will in many different ways, whether it be choosing to not do any work, choosing to be insolent and not leave the premises of his employer, or choosing to not eat which in turn causes his untimely death. If we examine the progression towards death in Bartleby’s life, we find that they could have easily been avoided if only the choices in Bartleby’s life were left up to a responsible guardian. The fact that no one stepped in to relieve Bartleby of his free will ultimately led to his death. When such important options of whether to obey the law or obey the body are left to an unstable individual the outcomes prove to be erratic at best. However, while it does seem to be the path of least resistance to let a responsible adult make the choices in Bartleby’s life, one must ask “isn’t one’s life made up of the choices he makes and to take away ones choices is to take away a man’s existence”.
