The boy is no longer young and naive; he has grown up and become disillusioned with life. Question 2 The description of the sound in the streets when the young man is walking by thinking of the girl he loves. He hears the "curses of laborers," the "shrill litanies of shop boys," and "nasal chartings of street singers." All of these images, besides just making the street seem busy, also make it seem like an unpleasant and intruding scene, almost like you would want to cover your ears and hurry through as fast as possible. This compliments perfectly the boy's imagination that he is "carrying his chalice safely through a throng of foes."

Winston on the other hand is on his toes, and doesn’t like how the society is being run, and wants to change how things are run, but has trouble trusting anyone with his thoughts afraid that they will turn him in. This may be his downfall, because he want’s so bad to change society that he will tell the first person he thinks is on his
Bespectacled, he occasionally pushed his spectacles to the back as a habit of adjustment. The boy had his concession card hung around his neck like most of the kids travelling on public transports. As the boy ran into the train compartment, he jumped around and left himself to dangle using the handles made for standing passengers. Swinging around, he forwards himself across the train similar to the monkey bar in a playground. As his sister lacks the strength to imitate his play, he laughed and threw a few sarcastic remarks at her.
Paul never stated that he wanted a sexual relationship with Johnny but he wanted his love and a close relationship with him. “What does Mister have that I don’t?”…“And what is it about me that Johnny Ray doesn’t like?” (Pg.280) Two men can share love without having or implying sex. Look at two close male friends or a father and son. However because Paul doesn’t clearly express his full intentions about Johnny the reader is left to infer a lot of Paul’s feelings for Johnny, however a more appropriate explanation for Paul’s feelings is that he wants nothing more than a emotional relationship with Johnny Ray; namely his acknowledgement in
When he saw the men crawling around it reminded him of the men who worked for his father that did this same thing to make him laugh (Bierce, Norton 408). So seeing clown like men crawling like horses didn’t scare him and he approached one of the men. The man barely had a nose and when the boy approached he flung the little boy down to the ground (Bierce, Norton 408). The man shook his fist at the little boy and this scared the boy so much that he ran back towards a tree (Bierce, Norton 408). After this happened the little boy realized these men were not
At the beginning of the novel, Holden has an epiphany when he hears a young boy singing, “Comin’ through the Rye” and the boy is walking too close to the cars along a street because his parents are not attentive. Repeatedly, Holden comes back to this central image of believing he needs to act as a “catcher” for someone like this boy. When Holden sees vulnerability he thinks it is his job to “catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff” (173). Imagining himself as capable in a world where he does not feel capable helps him convince himself that he can be a protector of others and even himself. Holden makes it clear that it is children he wants to protect: “I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in the big field of rye…and nobody’s around-nobody big” (173).
As he is going along, he notices a train coming wildly down the tracks and it is heading straight for a child. He knows he is unable to stop the train, but notices he could flip a switch causing the train to go down the railway siding. To his dismay, if he flips the switch it will take out his car. Bob considers his options and decides he doesn’t want to lose his life savings, so he lets the train kill the child. Bob does not seem to affected by this outcome too much and lives the rest of his life enjoying his car and
There were many times when Phineas did something wrong and simply talked his way out of it. When the boys skipped dinner, which was not allowed, they were confronted about it. Phineas told a lie about getting ready for the war. These lies came to him naturally, and being outgoing certainly helped being a smooth-talker. On page 18, Gene admitted his envy towards Phineas.
