He blames Charlie as the one who caused him to lose his boxing career and he also blames himself for his lack of bravery to act according to his own will. Despite all these, with the support and guidance of Father Barry and Edie, and finally the death of Charlie, Terry is awakened and is confident enough to fight like a contender in accordance to his conscience. His actions no longer depend on others and he finally wins the respect of the other longshoremen. Kazan clearly shows that Terry has his brother Charlie to blame for making him a bum. In the cabin, while Charlie is meant to bribe Terry with a job so that he would keep quiet about the deeds of the union, Terry expressed his disappointment in Charlie.

资料 In both stories, a young boy who either narrates the story or offers his point of view through indirect discourse witnesses and becomes complicit in an extramarital relationship. In Diaz's story, Yunior, the narrator, sees his father cheating on his mother and senses that this familial transgression is potentially threatening to his family's happiness; he does not fully appreciate his father's motivations, and comprehends only partially how this adulterous affair might connect to his father's changing identity. In Vapnyar's story, Misha sees his grandfather, who seemed utterly unable to adjust to American life, develop a new self-identity when he embarks on a friendship with a Russian immigrant he meets in an English-language class. Both

Often their clients are too poor to pay legal fees, but Schlichtmann's firm eats the legal costs itself, hoping for a rich slice of an eventual settlement. Essentially, he's gambling with the firm's money every time he accepts a case. That's why he turns down the delegation of parents who tell about the deaths of their children: He doesn't see enough money in it to justify the risk. (The movie has a hard-boiled discussion of how much various victims are "worth." A white male professional struck down in his prime gives the biggest payoff; a dead child is worth the least of all.)
Although the line, “no-one had got around to fixing it up yet”, shows that he is still seeing everything as a product that has the potential to be fixed.

His last words “watch it” demonstrates the irony of being a product, as if to watch it on
Cody Olson WBIS 188-013 November 2, 2012 Niesen What Kind of Man are You? The films Fargo and The Man Who Wasn’t There are two Coen brothers’ films in which greed and mishap are two common themes. Jerry Lundegaard, from Fargo, and Ed Crane, from The Man, are two men who want a quick and easy way out of their current financial distress and living situations. Both men try different get-rich-quick schemes, but because of their lack of communication skills and their own greed, they put many lives at risk, while putting their plans into action. The films are much more alike than one would originally think.
