The IF lied to him and told him that it was just a game when it was not. He had been fighting the buggers since he had gotten to battle school. In a way Ender kind of is a killer and he feels like it sometimes. Ender feels that he is a killer, although he never wants to kill anyone. He accidently killed Stilson in the beginning of the book without knowing until chapter 15, because he kicked him so many times.
Students are hanging there self and die because of being bullied. Bulling should be banned in public school in American Samoa because violence is not good and it will affect students learning. Bulling is not a good thing. “The bullied, not trusting adults to protect or help him and isolated from healthy peer relationships, does whatever it takes to get rid of the pain [that he or she has]” (Coloroso). Although bulling others they don’t like or get along with others.
Cory’s whole life revolves around football and his belief that if he continues to play, he will be able to connect with his father. This becomes clear when Rose explains to Troy, “He is just trying to be like you with the sports” (435). Cory’s belief that his father doesn’t like him fuels a lot of the conflict between Cory and Troy. Since Cory believes the only connection he can make with Troy is through sports, he plays football against his father’s wishes. This in turn causes more friction between the two instead of creating the connection that Cory hopes for.
He constantly has the feeling of being watched by others. He naturally doesn’t ever trust anyone they come into contact with, and for that matter avoids it at all costs. Even when there was a little boy that was in trouble, around the age of his own, with his own boy trying to get him to help out, he wouldn’t. His boy often wishes that his father would be more lenient to others. This is perhaps cruel, but understandable.
Psychoanalysis of Holden Caulfield As shown in the way Holden expresses his ideas and feelings, it is obvious that this young man has many problems mentally. Holden does not seem to be as perfect as he makes himself out to be. He cant even go to a football game without feeling like he is conforming to the rest of society. This boy needs to face reality and realize that he cannot be a loner and an outcast his whole life. It is not possible for him to live this “phony free lifestyle” especially when he is giving in to the things he made fun of before.
The boy came to class late but was unable to stay after class. As soon as the bell rang he scrambled to get away from the bullies but there was no hope. The bully caught him right as he had left the teachers sight. I stood there watching as the bully pushed him around continuously, but I could watch no more. The bully had made a fist and was coming up behind the poor boy with is arm cocked.
More than anyone, a boy needs his father to approve of him and teach him how to be a man. Well, his father did not show him the love he required growing up. In all of Paul’s efforts to please his father, he was ignored and inadequate to his father’s expectations. In fact, his father praised a young man that worked as a clerk and insisted that Paul ought to be more like that gentleman. His father refused to give Paul money and argued that he has a job, so he can pay his own expenses.
Young boys are one of the least-accommodated groups in modern society. Our modern focus on safety over exploration, ‘hard knocks’ and even the most basic aspects of kinesthetic learning -- has turned the adage of “the boys will be boys” entirely on its head. Today, the phrase resonates more with college-age rape culture and mid-life crises than it does with its historical origins in the lives of the schoolhouse crowd. As you stated in "Reexamining the Plight of Young Men" there were no more examples of “boys being boys” in the modern classroom, because “being boys” is no longer politically correct (Rosenfeld, 1998). But that's not a prescription for a functional society of 2025 and we cannot lose sight of the fact that the boys of today are going to become the men of tomorrow.
