He continues to lash out on his disagreements with his father until he truly understands his father’s true feelings for him. When Adam makes the choice to be active in his town’s militia, he begins his journey into adulthood. By day two of this novel Adam is partaking in one of history’s bloodiest battles and overcomes many difficult scenarios. One described on page 102 by Fast says, “Once I had established a fantasy about my father being alive, I was able to break it down and argue with myself, and then accept the fact that Father was dead.” Adam is overwhelmed by witnessing the death of his father, but quickly calms himself in a mature manor,
In the manhunt, the narrator’s consideration is for the mental suffering which her husband is suffering. Similar to Manhunt; in ‘Nettles’ it is the father’s care for the injuries of his son which he feels was caused by the nettles. Both poets use unusual imagery to present the writers family member as needing protection. In the man hunt instead of the obvious representation of a solider as strong and powerful, Laura’s husband is linked to fine, precious china, the damaged porcelain collar bone. This means he is described as fragile and precious because of his injuries, with his punctured lung described as delicate as “parachute silk”.
This allows the reader to see and picture the past of the character in their head. An example of this is when inigo goes to a flashback. The novel told us that Inigo’s father was killed by a six fingered man and that the six fingered man left scars on his face for his punishment for challenging someone older than him when he was 11. He punished inigo with scars but not with death so he remembers to respect his elders. This flashback shows us why he wants to find the six fingered man.

He also visits him when he is in hospital, after meeting Voldemort for the first time, after his parents were killed.

In addition, Dumbledore gives Harry presents, not directly, but yet this isn’t usual for an ordinary teacher-pupil relationship.

Posters were hung everywhere in the towns and cities encouraging young men to join the war, and many poets at home wrote on the war, its just cause and the bravery of fighters. But once these men arrived at the battlefields and lived in the trenches that they opened their eyes to the truth of war and its sufferings and miseries. Of these disillusioned men were Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen. Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967) was a son of wealthy family; his father was a banker of a Jewish Baghdadi origin with some influential relations in the world of English politics and business. His mother was of an Anglo-Catholic family.
This need for order, logical planning and routine are distinctive features of the novel, as they are a significant method used by Christopher to help him deal with others and relate to the wider world, a world he finds confusing and, at times, terrifying. Christopher, who has autism, is attempting to solve the ‘murder’ of a neighborhood dog, Wellington. Christopher informs the audience that he would make an excellent detective because he notices and remembers details and, although he has been told by his father to stop investigating the ‘murder’ of Wellington and recording his findings in a murder/detective, he does not follow and implement his father’s instructions. On page 101, we, the audience, are given an example of Christopher’s close attention to detail. This is another aspect of his condition.
When he tells him how the Jackal finds dying old men with no purpose in life, and promises them the delivery of upkeep to their families as long as the old men do his bidding (which is almost always something violent), Conklin exclaims, "They believed him?" (35) as if there was no question that such a sadistic killer would not follow such benevolent and generous promises. Webb corrects him, telling him of the untraceable funds that do reach the families of "the old men of Paris" upon their

At the start of the film Szpielman is seen playing the piano. He is clean shaven and is wearing a suit. As the war moves forward and the family's situation worsens, Szpielman's brother makes a joke about his “ridiculous tie.” Implying that in their horrible situation, why did Szpielman think he was important enough to wear a tie? His costume contrasts here with the end of the film where he is seen looking primitive with neglected facial hair, ripped clothes and clutching desperately to his can of food. This decline in Szpielman's humanity is effective as it shows what man becomes once everything has been taken from him.
