The feelings I listed made me infer that something bad was going to happen as the story progressed. 2. What can we infer about Doodle based on his description? What I gathered from the description the narrator gave me about Doodle was that he was weak and disabled but he was also resilient. I use the word resilient because although the doctors, and his parents, and lots of other folks were saying that he can't do this or that; in the end he ended up being successful and completing every task they said that he won't be able to do.

Those who experience moral conflict are truly tested and the core of their characters brought into sharp focus as they make sense of their experiences and wether the will response with courage or cowardice. For Daniel Morcombe’s family it is the conflict of enduring the type of justice they wanted regards the brutal murder of Daniel that this encompasses.

The narrator makes this observation about Sonny when he sees him after he’s released from prison. Prison, for Sonny, was a hellish experience, as was his addiction to heroin. Both experiences have altered Sonny, but he remains, at heart, the same person he’s always been. The narrator notes, somewhat mournfully, that he never actually knew his baby brother, even though he can see traces of him buried beneath the darkness of prison life and drug addiction. It’s a painful realization, one that he is forced to confront now that Sonny has become, to some degree, his responsibility.

As Holly Martins, Joseph Cotten shows a strong sense of morality, justice, and loyalty; he ends up struggling to make the right decision in a constantly changing situation. Even in this ambiguous situation, Martins acts readily on his moral sense, making him a predictable but volatile character. Trevor Howard as Major Callaway makes a good counterpoint for Cotten. He shows a strong morality himself, yet he's not above manipulating Martins into helping him. The film steadily constructs a curious picture of the missing Lime through the comments of those who knew
