Both have ideas on dreams but contrast because of the diversity in their ethnic backgrounds. Hughes grasps the reality of dreams in his poem entitled “Dreams”. Hold fast to dreams For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams For when dreams go Life is a barren field Frozen with snow.? Nadidu grasps more of the fantasy of dreaming in her poem entitled “Song of A Dream” Once in the dream of a night I stood Lone in the light of a magical wood, Soul-deep in visions that poppy-like sprang; And spirits of Truth were the stars that glowed, And spirits of Peace were the streams that flowed In that magical wood in the land of sleep.
Grendel’s Mother I reside in the darkest of all places, deep underwater in a land unsettled by mortals. Seldom do I leave my shadowy domain, although my son often ventures out to converse with the humans above the surface. I always warn my son, Grendel, to be cautious when interacting with humans because they have a tendency to misinterpret our actions. I never spend more than a few minutes outside of our secluded home for fear of causing an incident, but today I fear the worst has happened to my child. Grendel went out this morning and still hasn’t come back.
If we look at Henry internal dialogue we see that, he had gone on leave to a place where he was always drunk and waking upon women who he was unfamiliar with. Henry felt as if he was alone in the world. “When you knew that was all there was…not knowing who it was with you and the world all unreal in the dark, sure that this was all and all and all and not caring”. This held to be true until Henry met Nurse
Mattie's appearance attracts Ethan; however, Zeena's repulses Ethan. Upon going to sleep, Ethan "undresses hurriedly and blew out the light so that he should not see her when he took his place at her side" (29). As the narrator states, the only thing that allows Ethan to go to sleep was "one sensation...: the warmth of
Eventually, he regresses back to childhood and crawls to Stephen, asking him to “hold me” and to “call me by my name”. After this, Weir becomes dependant on alcohol, with clear symptoms of alcoholism; his shaking hands and the “inability to talk sensibly until the liquor had put some strength and reason inside him”. He is also a superstitious man, searching for constant reassurance from Stephen in the form of tarot card reading, finding hope and comfort from the outcomes. His lack of familiarity with women is one that reduces his masculinity, as it is expected of men to be confident and experienced with women by his age. When Stephen takes him to the prostitutes’ house, the old woman said that Weir started to cry, revealing his fear of intimacy with women, a trait unexpected of the typical
Yet, he is still unhappy. So he leaves once again. He comes across a river and Vasudeva, and it is through them that he finds inner peace, enlightenment, and Nirvana.

He always keeps a distance from the people he meets, keeping close to them but allowing enough room for them not to notice he is watching in them. Also Aschenbach begins to hallucinate, of “tropical marshland beneath a wreaking sky streaming monstrous rank”, early in the novel which suggests some sort of mental illness. He dreams of exotic places which inspires his trip to Venice. So far in the novel it seems as though Aschenbach has been hanging from a thread during the course of his life, and after so much pressure and forcing himself to work and the suppression of his feelings the thread has finally snapped. All his life he felt the need to live up to high expectations thus losing his childhood which he spent secluded from other children.
Each of them could feel the the longing for home. And as the silence went on, noon turned to evening, and evening turned to darkness. The sounds of the wild island kept them up as they shivered in the bleak night. It was too late to hunt, and the darkness prevented them from seeing; and in turn drowned out all of their chances of relieving their
This chapter is counted into a climax and a turning point of the novel. Due to the effect of alcohol and ignorance from Sally and the bar singer, Holden made himself of a fool with collapsing sense of security. When he was in the park, he was overwhelmed by depress and miserableness. Tape, ducks and pond triggered his depressing memory of his brother Allie’s death and the fear of his own funeral, thereby revealing the root of his previous manic behavior: Holden was troubled by unexplained disappearance and he was in deep anxiousness that all the things that were related to his pure, innocent childhood would suddenly vanish. This echoes one of the themes of this novel—adolescent confusion on the way to the adult world and the pain of growing up.
