As the film progresses viewers gradually uncover and understand the complex nature of their relationship. Initially, Charlie is portrayed as the older sibling who protects his ‘kid brother’ from Johnny Friendly. This is clearly observed in the opening bar scene after Joey Doyle’s murder. When Terry shows signs of weakness and hesitation about the nights proceeds in front of Johnny, Charlie artfully places a hand on Terry’s wrist a subtle signal to be quite - a sign he is ‘looking out’ for Terry. Similarly, Terry displays a deep loyalty throughout the entire film, by refusing to ‘rat’ on Johnny despite his guilty conscience simply because he does not want to ‘put the finger on [his] own brother’.
Finny’s personality is also reflected in Gene’s diction when Gene says how Finny had a “steadily widening grin,” when he “was driven down beneath a blizzard of snowballs.” This exemplifies Phineas’ personality because he was at his happiest when the tables were turned against him and there would be no chance of any distinct winners or losers. This again relates back to when Gene tells Finny that “[he] wouldn’t be any good in the war, even if nothing happened to [his] leg.” Likewise, Gene’s diction also alludes many times to the war. For example, while describing the snowball fight, he uses words such as “allies, betrayed, and generalship.” This shows, that in Gene’s case, the war is
From the first moment he met his piano teacher- Eduard Keller, he was quick to judge based on his appearance “Had he spruced himself up especially to meet me? I was childish enough … to think it likely.”, and the way Keller spoke. Paul puts the label on him that ‘he is a Nazi’ and doesn’t give himself the chance to get to know Keller when he first meets him. By the end of the novel Paul learns to appreciate the lessons that he had with Keller throughout his adolescent year and matures to respect what Keller had done for him. Paul illustrates love towards many characters throughout the novel.
Though the women were unaware of what Sammy had done. His actions were noble and this was also a focal point in the development of the character's growth. Sammy desire to quit his job runs more deeper than that of being the “unsuspected hero” of those women. Yes he did admire the beauty of Queenie, but at the same time its possible to assume that he wanted her lifestyle: All of a sudden I slid right down her voice into her living room. Her father and the other men were standing around in ice-cream coats and bow ties and the women were in sandals picking up herring snacks on toothpicks off a big plate and they were all holding drinks the color of water with olives and sprigs of mint in them.
Living in the East had changed this philosophy, and Nick returned home again to the Midwest with a set of defined ideals rather than accepting just any group of people for friends. The exception of his general dislike for Easterners is Jay Gatsby. As described by Nick, Gatsby is a man still free of guilt, except for some tragic flaw or sickness of character that had disillusioned him. Nick
Hero’s always put the wellbeing of others before them selves. Rob Dyrdek’s nature asserts courteous as a necessity. In the previous show, “Rob and Big”, He tagged along with a guy who went around giving away free ice cream. After feeling the satisfaction of giving away free things, he gathered up bags of his own belongings and gave them to the homeless around town. Compared to his Santa act in “Rob and Big”, Rob created a twitter competition for the first forty winners to come visit his warehouse and receive a box of his brand-sponsored items.
He isn’t being directly accused by the trees, the dead men, or even the injured man that is walking at his side, but he feels as if he is. Henry can’t talk to the soldier because the man will most likely find him to be a coward and call him so in front of the other men in the line. Courage is a very public emotion, if one is courageous they want to share that feeling with others and share the good news of their actions with many. On the other hand, if one is a cowardly it is usually a secret. Henry shows this in the crowd; everyone who was courageous is happy and sharing that emotion with the others while he is hiding his emotions and actions from everyone.
If Antigone had decided to keep her actions a secret, Creon would have never lost his family and would have probably stayed a stubborn and unforgiving king. Antigone’s public act of conscience changed the way Creon behaved and probably made him a better king for Thebes. Like Antigone, Gandhi also chose to make his acts of conscience public. He became a public figure and brought hope to many people in India. People believed in him because they saw selflessness in his acts.
After Xavier gets word of this he concludes, “Whiskeyjack is how they say his name, make it their own...what sounds to my ears like a longer word for bastard, making his name a name without a family” (Boyden 145). Xavier is somewhat disgruntled with Elijah for his keen interest in the Wemistikoshiw culture and lack of pride in his own name. The book accurately conveys the idea of how native soldiers were looked at during this time, as lesser. The reader automatically assumes this from the beginning of the novel all the way through to the end. While at a bar, Elijah has a conversation with a native corporal about his own impressive kill streak.
Those actions along with the ability to overcome great obstacles, extreme courage and high moral qualities, honesty and grace are the traits of heroes.
