In the novel Fight Club, Marla Singer’s character role is shown through a relationship triangle between the narrator, Tyler Durden, and Marla Singer. Through this relationship triangle, the three friends all inevitably discover what it means to hit “rock bottom.” In a way, the character of Marla Singer acts as a role of desire and destruction to the narrator and Tyler Durden. At the beginning of the novel, the narrator does not like Marla because she reminds him too much of himself by her emotional needs and tendencies. In chapter 2, we learn that the narrator uses support groups in which patients of sever diseases and conditions attend for support. He attends these support meetings so that he can release emotional energy and feel better about himself.
By Lennie not speaking it really annoyed Curley and Curley thought Lennie was mucking him around so Curley got really angry at Lennie for not speaking and they ended up having a fight and they both got hurt. So there is a perfect example of how conflict is heightened when people are not permitted to speak and this shows that telling people what to do can sometimes lead to people getting hurt. Another reason why conflict is heightened when people are not permitted to speak is the part in the book where Lennie is with Curley’s wife and she tells Lennie to feel her hair, so of course, Lennie feels her hair but he starts patting it a little bit too hard so Curley’s wife starts screaming but Lennie covers her mouth so no one can hear her. If Lennie didn’t talk to Curley’s wife like he was told then she would still be alive and Lennie would probably still be alive as well. This tells us that sometimes
Al Johri Ms. Hamilton English III Honors 14 September 2009 In Arthur Miller's classic play, the Crucible, Act II, Scene II was deliberately removed. This scene largely consisted of a heated conversation between the two protagonists of the play, Abigail Williams and John Proctor. At first, Abigail believes that Proctor has finally come to marry her; however, this misconception is cleared when Proctor releases his wrath upon her due to Abigail's baseless accusation of witchcraft upon his wife, Elizabeth. As the scene progresses, the reader sees how Abigail becomes so wrapped up in her lies and witchcraft, consequently diminishing her intelligence, and what little respect she had in the reader's eyes. The reason the scene was cut from the play lies in both the significance of the conversation and what it revealed about the John Proctor in terms of his affair and his character.

His life became more complicated when he entered college and had to contend with a roommate. Now he has no privacy, so instead of trying to explain his tics to roommate, he tries to hide them. He makes excuses like, “the doctors tell me that if I knock it around hard enough, there is a good chance the brain tumor will shrink to the point where they won’t have to operate (Sedaris, p 368).” Also, he imagines conspiracies to eliminate his roommate; unluckily, he must cope with it because his roommate tries to find out his tics. As a result, Sedaris gets rid of his weird actions by smoking to be normal. It seems his roommate gave him an invisible power to overcome his nervous habits.
41) Nick says when Nick is at the asylum to help Lewis direct. This is also when Nick and Lewis fight verbally. He doesn’t appreciate the meeting that the opera has for the patients, and sees both the patient’s attitudes and opera itself as “right wing crap”. Nick has a low tolerance for the quirks of the patients, and insensitive towards them, making a joke about their situation. Nick and Lucy didn’t even go to watch the play “Cosi”.
English Composition 1003-10 25 September 2011 The Blind Leading the Blind After first reading Raymond Carver’s short story “Cathedral” one could easily get the impression that the narrator is a closed-minded jerk. After reading the story a couple more times and really considering the position the narrator is put in, I began to realize he wasn’t very closed-minded at all. He was blinded by jealousy. Because society perpetuates the idea that men must be territorial in relationships, the narrator felt that he must do anything in his power to make sure his wife was not ok with a strange man coming to his home. The narrator’s wife observes, “You don’t have any friends.
We may be going home from a bad day at work and stir that bad day in our house then it will prevent a big fight. As soon as I learned about this type of listening, then I discovered to myself this is the other reason of our fights because we don’t share together what happen at work. Sometimes I always try to hide it from my husband but I feel guilty about it because that is why I marry him is somebody to lean on for whatever happen. This works in any relationship and I know it will apply well for you guys and your future. Second, is active listening, to become an active listener you have to “respond to feelings, encourage the speaker to get in touch with his or her own thoughts and feelings by phrasing what was just said, ask questions and give your undivided attention.” (Roland, 2000) These are some steps that researcher recommend for active listener.
This was a time when marriage was criticised due to the lack of emotional involvement and loyalty was also questioned in committed relationships. In the beginning, Lewis agrees with Nick and Lucy claiming that “love is not so important nowadays”. His statements surprised some of the patients and they were “looking at Lewis as if he was mad”. To characters like Henry, Roy and Ruth, love and fidelity are very significant in a relationship. Nowra however shows that through Lewis’ discussions with the patients and the ironies found in Cosi Fan Tutte helps Lewis to change his view on love and relationships.
