‘coz wetjalas in this town don’t want us ‘ere, don’t want our kids at the school with their kids…. They reckon Bert ‘Awkes gonna give him a hiding in the election.” The Constable tries to cover up the truth by saying: “what the hell would you know? You don’t even vote!” This shows that aboriginals know why there are treated like this but can’t do anything as they have no power. Power in this the play is symbolised by the cat-o-nine-tails. When Mary is told she is going to work at the hospital she is angry and resistant: “I’m not gunna work in the hospital” he takes the cat-0-nine –tails from his desk, and when Mary answers back,: “go to hell” Neal responds with: “Millimurra seems to have learnt you well.

When on land, Huck's father, Pap kidnaps Huck in order to keep Huck from being “better [than] him [and to keep Huck from] fooling around [in] school” (19) because he never went to school, illustrating a very poor example of parenting and a closed-minded way of thinking. As a parent, he should want what's best for Huck, wanting him to be civilized and be a decent human being. Like the land, which is physically slow-changing, Pap doesn't want Huck to surpass him. When Huck is imprisoned within the shed, Pap beats him and suppresses him, keeping him unchanged and unable to improve physically or mentally. Huck escapes suppression by fleeing to the river, where he finds his ticket to freedom; “a canoe... riding high like a duck” (30).
Both examples show how each of the boys are opposed to face their own realities, and because of this they end up hurting themselves. Other similarities between both characters are displayed throughout the stories also. Such as, in the book, Finney finds out Gene pushes him off the tree on purpose, and Finney doesn’t want to ask why because he “believes [him],” and that it would crush Finney (Knowles 191). Since he cannot bear to face the circumstances, consequently Finney, who became “increasingly dependent on Gene,” dies with a broken heart (Telgen). In the same way, Neil is clearly resistant towards his father when he lies to Mr. Keating about asking for his father’s

In a newsletter called club news, outraged coach Sam argues with a frustrated and critical tone about toxic parents poisoning the club by not educating their children on basic sportsmanship. Sam establishes he’s audience by using hard evidence, He involves the audience in an emotionally and repetitive way by using 8 year old Emily as an example ‘She didn’t care that her team had lost. She didn’t care about her own performance. She didn’t care about the sledging by the other team.
Rip also missed out on America’s transition from colony to nation, so that when he enters the village and yells “I am a poor quiet man, a native of the place, and a loyal subject of the King, God bless him!” (2317). With that comment the villagers think of him as a spy and want to kick him out of the village or kill him. When Rip finds out his dog is gone he is saddened but felt an ease
Eteocles died with honor and Polynices was publicly shamed. Because of this, King Creon forbids anyone to touch the corpse of Polynices or give him a decent burial (Moss and Wilson). Antigone and Ismene argue about whether or not they should bury Polynices’ body. Since Ismene decides to not partake in the illegal act, Antigone secretly performs a ritual burial. Creon finds out about this and sentences Antigone and locks her away with little food to live on.
After the incident of him trying to burn down the barn, his family decided to send him to a mental institution. “It was either send him to Jackson, or have Gillespie sue us….” (Faulkner 232). The family had no choice but to send Darl away because he began to show a different side to him and started having split personalities. Darl’s name may have meant to be short for darling, but through his actions, he did not represent someone who was a
He is not willing to make any changes in his law for anyone whether family or friend. When his nephew Polynices dies he says “He’s not to have a grave or any mourning. / His corpse is to be left a grim warning, / Pecked at by birds and worried by dogs” (Sophocles 6). Creon has no respect for the dead, and as a result no respect for the gods. Creon wants the body to lie in the sun unburied for all to see, so he can put fear into the hearts of the people.
