Heroes choose to abide by their role and stick with it. They do not try to reconcile themselves with the rest of the world. Times of heroism are generally times of terror, but that day never shines in which this element may not work.

The impact of the dog accompanying him shows the lack of communication that Nat Swanson has. Nat Swanson is bitten frequently by the dog and has come to a point where he has grew hate against him and has threatened to kill him. Eidson writing style conveys to us, the reader, that even though they don’t like each other, they just like the presence of having a friend or someone to accompany each other through their rough journey. Their relationship occurs a change throughout the book but the most affective change was when Dog dies. Swanson was hit hard with his death.
Because of his fear of the Nazis and his fear of losing his dad he was able to survive. Without those emotions he would have no chance. Those are a few reasons why I think the quote "All Literature shows us the power of emotion, It is emotion, not reason, that motivates characters in literature." Is true.

John attempts to communicate with Kathy while he is away, but Kathy for the most part lets him down through some of her degrading letters. A handful of the letters were cheerful and full of great detail, but many contained doubts or negative thoughts that she had. One letter that really hurt John read, “All those dead people, John, they don’t vote”(36). This letter only made him feel abused by Kathy and showed how unsupportive she was to him. Furthermore, letters like this only built up his issues with anger and rage because the one person he needed support from, was not giving it, leaving no one for him to escape to.
we need to show them that we care, what better way to show them we appreciate them than to carve a replica of them in something as enduring as rock. Michael McLean, my mom, and Jataya are three of the heroes that the world doesn’t know by name. They are always helping others, but they never get the recognition that they deserve. They deserve to be put on Mt.
The Things They Carried Throughout everyone’s lives they have a story that is worth telling, but not all people are willing to work at having it told.

The second is that people use metaphors. The word metaphor means carrying something from one place to another, I think it should be called a lie because a pig is not like a day and people do not have skeletons in their closets.``(14,15) Christopher needs logic in his life for things to make sense or else he can find himself getting sick or groaning loudly in pain. Although some cases of logic don`t make sense to the others around them he believes they make sense like when he says three red cars in a row means a good day and three yellow make a bad day he is told by his principal that this is not very logical and he said it makes sense to him. This is also shown when he says he won’t eat his food if it touches different items of food on his plate, but he will if it touches while being prepared. Another form of logic in his life is his family.
There are many ways in which Haddon tells the story in chapter 97 and he uses a variety of methods to show this. He takes an interest in a dog which is a dachshund.
