Matt’s relationship with Tam Lin and El Patrón shows how father figures can have a heavy influence on a child’s action, resulting in an overall change in their future behaviors. The two men taking up fatherly roles in the novel illustrate their similar traits to Matt through their actions. Both men appear to care for Matt deeply, treating Matt as if he matters and is not simply a clone to be used. Similarly, they also give him a sense of strength, continuing to shape Matt’s young mind. Their care gave Matt a form of stability, forming his character and keeping him from becoming someone like Tom, a young man who has received no love and positive attention.

Victoria Caramico July 30,2011 Li-Young Lee uses a variety of literary devices in his poem "A Story" to show the emotional relationship between a father and son. Among the devices, Lee uses structure, description, and allegory. Lee carefully applies literary devices such as structure between the present and future, point of view, and allegory using a story to represent the elaborate relationship between a father and son in his poem "A Story." To show the relationship the father has and would like to always have with his son, Lee structures the poem from present tothe future and back to the present. He starts with the present, son begging his father to tell him a new story.
Now you eat, all of you, and I.” Jack wants everyone to appreciate him for his kill. Jack throws the piece of meat at Simon because he is frustrated and Simon is easy to pick on. This shows how Jack is willing to be a true hunter. Sometimes Jack has a kind heart but on the other hand he can also be a bully. “Fear can’t hurt you anymore than a dream.
The guards used dehumanization of their enemy to make it easier to commit brutal killings such as the ones seen the the Reserve Police Battalion 101. As John Dower had observed, “The dehumanization of the Other contributed immeasurably to the psychological distancing that facilitated killing. Distancing, not frenzy and brutalization, is one of the keys to the behavior of Reserve Police Battalion 101”(162, Browning). Most of these people in the Reserve Police Battalion 101 had never seen blood or war before. So distancing themselves, in other words, making them seem as least human as possible, made it easier for the soldiers to commit these horrible atrocious killings.
All throughout the world, authors have used different forms of illusion and symbolism to irate a deeper and more thorough idea or theme. Many authors will use the bible and the theme of good and evil to help give the readers a more sympathetic character or reason of thinking. This use of symbolism is a great way to better understand ideas put forward in a novel, and in many cases helps these novels become a great read. Many novels chosen for a curriculum for students are chosen for the fact that they have many areas of literary topics or ideas and have a plethora of writable attributes such as symbolisms. In the novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey, biblical illusion is used to support the idea of McMurphy as a Christ-like figure.
He is the prime example of a character that is easy to sympathize with or feel sorry for; however, the monster deserves a lot more sympathy than Victor does. Victor in a sense is the counterpart to the monster; he is surrounded by people who love him and cherish his company and thoughts. The monster on the other hand has no one to talk to, and is rejected by all even if though his heart is passionate. It is as the saying, ‘do not judge a book by its cover’,with the monster it is this way. He seems to be a very intelligent being, though he may be a little immature, this is all Victor’s doing.
Alexie, himself, is telling the story about how he learned to read through comics, but is also explaining how it helped him understand. He goes into detail about how his house was full of books because his father loved to read. He was surrounded by books and things to read and could grasp the concept of reading. The main point, I believe, the author is trying to make in this article, is that there are many ways to learn new things without actually going to school. He learned from his fathers books, and comic books, and applied himself step by step.
