Jody’s Christian virtues of love, charity, and self-sacrifice helped him to enjoy life and to gain great happiness in serving Flag. Jody’s sense of responsibility helped him to cooperate with helping his family to survive in the backwoods of Florida. Sometimes he even stayed up at night to keep the ‘coons out of the corn or the wolves away from the livestock. His never ending courage and self-sacrifice helped him go on a long hunt, on Christmas, to kill a bear that had stolen and killed a Baxter cow. His good Christian values helped him deal with all the trials of a backwoodsmen’s life and helped him care for his family.
Candy needed his dog to get jobs on a cattle farm as he could herd animals and his dog needed an owner in his older age. Candy also has a strong yet short relationship with George and Lennie. "I'd make a will an' leave my share to you guys in case I kick off, cause' I ain't got no relatives nor nothing." Steinbeck shows how willing Candy is to his word by using inclusive tone. Candy shows a sense of compassion towards George and Lennie as he is giving two strangers his life's savings when he passes away.
These traits are his loyalty, his bravery and his quick thinking. Will was a very loyal ranger, never even thinking of abandoning a friend or a kingdom. This loyalty is best shown with the part in the book where Will shot the boar that was charging Horace (a battle school apprentice who had often bullied Will as a kid, and even a month prior to this event), saving his life. Horace asked Will why he had saved him, and Will replied that he had never hated Horace. “Horace, we may have fought in the past,” Will said “but I don’t hate you, I never hated you.” Another example is when Will, Halt, and another ranger named Gilian were stalking the kalkra, giant bear-like creatures that could stop your heart if you looked into their eyes.
He was playing on that very sled when the men took him away to begin his training and education. The sled in my opinion represented the last truly happy memory that Kane had, and he spent his whole life trying to find his new rosebud. All in all I definitely enjoyed the movie and think it was outstanding. There were so many aspects that brought this movie to life, and made it the classic it is today. I wouldn’t call it the best movie I’ve ever seen, but it was definitely up
This Palace Has Four Broken Legs “A dog represents all that is best in a man” (Etienne Charlet). In The Odyssey by Homer, translated by Richmond Lattimore, the reader is sadly presented with the dilapidated image of Argos, Odysseus’s beloved and faithful dog, who represents the moral and physical decay of Odysseus’s Palace in Ithaca. As such, the heartwarming recognition scene in book seventeen conveys that even though the dog, and palace as well, are in ruins, there is hope; the kind of hope that you see when Argos wags his tick-infested tail for the last time. This scene is the most powerful of all the homecoming books in The Odyssey because though he has been gone from his home and beloved canine, the recognition Argos shows toward the disguised Odysseus gives him hope and strength that he can once again rule Ithaca and be with his much loved wife and son, Telemachos. In book seventeen of The Odyssey, Telemachus leaves Odysseus at Eumaeus’s, the swine-herder’s, hut and heads to his palace, where he receives a tearful welcome from his mother Penelope.
A good leader has qualities such as courage, bravery, intellect, and charisma. These can all be used in making good judgment as a leader. Most importantly, a leader must have control over his peers, and peers must trust and respect their leader in order for both of them to achieve success. In the epic poem the Odyssey by Homer, Odysseus is a good leader because he shows bravery while defeating the Cyclops, but he is also a weak leader because he shows lack of authority when his men eat the cattle of Lord Helios. Odysseus embodies the quality of bravery while defeating the Cyclops, proving that he is a good leader.
Napoleon used the dogs as a way to get rid of Snowball and take control of Animal Farm. Napoleon also uses his intelligence to take advantage of the animals on Animal Farm who are not as knowledgeable. For instance, “Muriel read the Commandment for her. It ran: “No animal shall kill any other animal without cause.” Somehow or other the last two words had slipped out of the animals’ memory” (98). Napoleon, knowing well enough that the animals were not as educated as he was, took advantage of their stupidity.
Pride is good to have, but in Odysseus’s case, it’s a little too much. On the other hand, he does things that make him a great hero. When Circe turned his crew into animals, he climbed straight up a mountain, risking his life just to save his crew “Sweet milk and honey, then sweet wine, and last clear water; and I scattered barely down” ( line 553-554). He will do anything to get back to Ithaca and see his wife and son, no matter how crazy it is. He even goes into the underworld to speak to a prophet about how to get back to Ithaca.
When you first meet candy in the novel ‘Of Mice and Men’ by John Steinbeck, you see Candy with his beloved dog. Raising this dog from a pup, Candy felt a very strong bond with his companion, even though the dog could not speak, sometimes words don’t need to be said to show an un-dividing love. Candy was very proud of his dog, boasting things such as “You wouldn’t think it to look at him now, but he was the best damn sheep dog I ever seen.” (Page 47) But, Carlson insisted on putting the dog out of its misery as he was very old, could not eat solids, could not see and it was obvious that it hurt him to move and eventually Candy gave in. Candy didn’t want to let go of his companion because his dog kept him company and without it he would be lonely, and this was an obvious fear of his, which Candy showed by his reluctance to give his dog to Carlson. The reason for Carlson’s eagerness to get rid of the dog was because he didn’t share the special bond between Curly and his dog.
I Rose today mourning for the loss of a cousin, a dear friend, a brethren and mentor whose morals I myself strive to achieve as the New King of Scotland. For me, life without Duncan is like a winter’s night without the warmth of a fire, feels like a thousand prickling needles in my heart and is a world hidden in the depths of darkness absent from the rays of light and life. If there is one term worthy of Duncan, it is ‘courage’. He was a shining light to his people, loving and generous with the heart of a lion. He has led his nation into wealth and understanding.
