One thing I was sure about is that my magnificent professor never steers her students wrong and that that evening’s festivities was sure to be a learning experience; and it was. First, the awards that were presented were great. I absolutely love the ‘quiet hero’ title because it gives recognition to the people who do great things for their communities. Dr. Zimbardo believes that every community possesses an individual or a group of individuals who deserves recognition for daily acts of heroism. Heroism can come in the form of many things, and Dr. Zimbardo most likely feels the same way I do pertaining to that.
Back in the Lowman residence, Linda scolds her sons for abandoning her father back at the restaurant. Biff eventually talks with Willy, unable to keep to himself. He says that the Lomans are nothing but ordinary people, and may be replaced overnight. Biff cries in his father’s shoulder, and Willy takes this as a sign of love and respect. In another hallucination, Willy talks with Ben.
It is clear that Holden misinterprets Mr Antolini’s action because of a number of factors, including his fascination with sex, his mistrusting, judgemental nature, the lack of affection in his life, his struggle with adolescence and his cynical outlook on adult life. Mr Antolini is portrayed as fatherly. He is an old family friend and seems to have been part of Holden’s childhood. We are informed that he came to the Caulfield house quite frequently for dinner and that only a few days before, he had lunch with Holden’s father. During this meeting, they discussed Holden’s academic failure and his unwillingness to conform to society and apply himself to his studies.
We start off Act 1 with the villain of the play, Iago, Othello’s ensign (right-hand man in the army), and Roderigo, a man Iago promises will have Desdemona’s heart if he follows the villain’s instructions, as they discuss Othello and some military decisions that he made. Right from the start, in lines 43-67, Iago claims his loyalty to his general is only a show, and that by pretending to serve Othello, he will ultimately get what he wants. Iago states the first of many reasons for his hatred towards Othello because Othello hired another man, Michael Cassio, as his Lieutenant. Although not directly stated, Othello’s race could also have something to do with the fact that Iago hates Othello and does not find it in himself to serve him as his lord. The first racial slur comes from Roderigo soon after in line 68 where he calls Othello the “Thick-Lips.” The two then go on to wake up Barbantio, Desdemona’s father, in the middle of the
Officer Raleigh is portrayed as a naïve/boyish man. This can be proven by his childish comments such as when he describes the war as “silly”. Though as naïve/boyish he may be he is eager to prove himself and be recognized as an independent/ responsible soldier. This is seen when Stanhope commands Raleigh to go on duty with Trotter he replies without hesitation “Oh, Right”. Raleigh's character seems to be very timid from the start he has just left school and in a way has almost continued on with his school days; Denis's' presence at the dugout gives Raleigh a sense of protection like when he was a school.
Macbeth’s servant informs him of the approaching soldiers, MacDuff among them, and Macbeth’s boldness disappears. This can be seen when he says, “I am sick at heart/ when I behold—Seyton, I say! — this push/will cheer me ever or disseat me now” (5.3.19-21). This is when he first challenges his delusions, Macbeth no longer thinks of himself as invincible. Macbeth instead begins to realize that losing his throne is highly possible.
My father was an optimist. He always had a positive outlook on life. Through the years in both my personal and work environment, I’ve learned the importance
Hindley always treated Heathcliff very badly for a long time, and Heathcliff began to despise Hindley more and more. When Mr. Earnshaw dies Heathclff is still ridiculed by Hindley. Paul Cheetham states that “After Mr. Earnshaw’s death [Heathcliff] experiences at the hands of Hindley” (Cheetham). Hindley still treats Heathclff badly after Mr. Earnshaw’s death because he doesn’t want to forgive him for what he has done. Vereen M. Bell states, “Hindley cannot forgive Heathclff for unsurpuring the love of his father, so once he master of Wuthering Heights he sees that Heathcliff is methodically humiliated and degraded” (Bell).
The story ends abruptly; with Doreen telling everybody that he is a salesman. The total lack of benevolence between husband and wife are clearly seen straight away: “What are you doing here? Doreen said when she saw him sitting there” and later she says: “Don’t talk to me now. I’m busy.” Earl is very embarrassed when two men in business suits start talking about his wife’s weight. He then sits quietly and hopes the two men won’t see the connection between him and his wife, and that is also the reason for him not saying goodbye to his wife.
Just eats and soon dies.” (…) Carl hated his cruelty toward old Gitano, and so he became cruel again. “I should shoot old Easter,” he said. (…) “Old things should die”” Carl’s response to Gitano’s comment shows his affection to the old horse, even though he knows, Gitano is right. However, the comment hurts him and he want to give back, so he begins to criticize Easter too about being old and how old
