“rain had called up tall recruits behind the shed,” this quote shows the father cannot destroy them .They differ in the way they felt powerless however as in Nettles the father is feeling powerless because of a physical threat whereas in Harmonium it is an emotional threat of the inevibility of death and unspoken feelings that makes the writer feel powerless. Furthermore they both include the reality of family life as the poems are realistic and the poems, especially Nettles, have both the love and misery of family relationships. In Nettles the love in the poem is the protective instincts of a parent towards his son but the misery is the Nettles that had hurt his child and the fact that being protective isn’t enough to stop him from getting hurt. The realistic relationship in Harmonium is the family resentment and frustration from a son to his father. We can tell that the writer resents and is frustrated by his father as it says “and he being him can’t help but say.......... and I, being me” which shows that he is frustrated at their relationship.

But ideology is portrayed in many other ways, noticeably through the portrayal of women, society and religion. Vincent Van Gogh without a doubt struggled through life, mentally and physically in health. I believe that it’s the most evident ideology expressed in Vincent Minnelli’s film.

All humans also desire to be accepted for who they are – to be loved by other humans for who they really are, while some of us change our personalities to fit into a certain group, we cannot change our race, ethnicity, gender or physical characteristics. The character of Crooks is perhaps the most apparent example of loneliness in Of Mice and Men. Being an African American stable buck, Crook is faced with racial prejudice and is secluded throughout the novel. His

He expresses his grief at losing close friends, as well as, resentment for an overly vengeful God, who would punish men not only their crimes, but also the crimes of their fathers. One of Francesco?s peers, Giovanni Boccaccio observed the human behavior in response to The Plague. He concluded that their behavior fell into three categories: Isolation- No one can get me sick if I break contact with everyone. Denial- If I indulge myself, enjoy life, and surround myself with merriment, how could I possibly die?

When he is alone he beats and tortures himself because of the deep pain he feels for not confessing his sin. Dimmesdale also becomes very sick mentally because of the pain he puts himself through and also the pain of guilt that is built up inside him. When Dimmesdale is out in public he is seen as a pure Minister. To the Puritan community Dimmesdale is seen as a saint. This results in Dimmesdale having to hide his guilt when he is out in public, which in return slowly destroys his soul because he usually is not put into a position where he must lie.
