The aberrant perspective of Gilgamesh which I am presenting may seem divergent and atypical when analysed in accordance to our modern values and principles, but to Gilgamesh this would be quite natural. The values and ethics that contemporary readers hold shape their perspective of characters as they respond in various ways to the adventures that said characters undertake. A perfect example of this is when the narrator speaks of the state of Uruk and says “No son is left with his father, for Gilgamesh takes them all”. From this, the contemporary audience frames Gilgamesh as an immoral tyrant, as their value of free will is being challenged. However, Gilgamesh’s intentions were in the interest of the people, as he moulded the sons into warriors to protect the city.
He even bores into Addie's face, but Cash still does not yell at him and simply mends the holes back. Anse, the father of all the children, does not care much about Cash's work or helpfulness. He at one point even gets in the way of Cash's work and Cash still treats him kindly, "[Anse] goes to the lantern and pulls the propped raincoat until he knocks it down and Cash comes and fixes it back. "You get on to the house," Cash says." Cash then leads his father back to the house and continues to work.
It was in the early 50’s where he first began entwined with the mob. The mob was on a turning point in the early 50’s. Though he never took part in any mob activities, he still gathered money from family that did. He never did any mob dealings because he felt that if he ever needed to gain money or possessions, he would gain them for the benefit of others. “This is my personal favorite characteristic of him, and most likely the smartest decision he ever made in his life.” States my Aunt Jenny about the mobster deals that Da’dooch turns down.
These people are not real. The stories are fiction. But fiction has truth. How? O'Brien creates an intentional paradox for his readers when he writes the violent, but grabbing story of Rat Kiley and then at the end of the story, tells the reader that the characters and events of the story did not happen just as he described them, but that they happened in a totally different way to other people.
August Wilson was born on April 27, 1945 he was born at Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. Wilson is the fourth of six children; his childhood was a bit rough on him he never had the presence of his father because he was never home and always missing out on important dates. He never had the father figure in his life he was always attached to his mother and only to his mother. He always tried his best to ignore the simple fact that his father wasn’t at home teaching him all the things a father would teach a young boy growing up and trying to avoid bad habits. And thankfully even without a father figure he grew up to be an amazing man.
Frank never had any of this, though. His father spent all the money he earned on alcohol. For this reason Frank compares his father to these “fathers from heaven” by saying “where all the fathers bring home the money from the Labor Exchange and you don’t have to be running around pubs to find them” (McCourt 90). This shows that he used to worry about how much money the family had and if his father used to spend it on alcohol. It also shows how much he wanted a “father form heaven”: someone he could rely on to earn for his family and support him.
He ran into Thomas who was an old friend, but they hadn’t spoke since they got in a fist fight back in school. Thomas heard about Victor’s dad and sent his condolences to Victor. Victor told Thomas about needing money to go to Phoenix and Thomas offered to pay, but he had to go along on the trip. Victor told him, “I can’t take your money, I mean, I haven’t hardly talked to you in years. We’re not really friends anymore” (Alexie 413).
In the beginning Jerry is a selfish immature child, as every child is but as the story progresses he becomes more and more mature. As a young boy Jerry was wild and had only one care in the world collecting his cowboy cards! It seemed like every time he had a bit of money he was down at the store purchasing or trading cards with friends. It was an addiction! His older brother even asked him for money to buy dad something nice for father’s day he was hesitant and only have him 1/5 of his earnings, only a nickel because he wanted new cards.
Be liked” (Miller 20.21). Willy claims how he has all these friends in Boston, how he can park his car on any street, but needless to say no one attends his funeral. His outlook of the American Dream is the reason his sons never succeeded. Willy never preached hard work, seemingly okay with his son failing math. In the text Willy asks if he Bernard didn’t give him the answers, basically condoning for his son to cheat (Miller 92).
Addie's genuine character as a living human will be a mystery; a few may view her as someone who was playing with the devil and others might see her as someone with admiration because she was one to believe that actions speak louder than words. The different characters throughout the novel and the difficulty stream-of-consciousness method all work together to create a novel that is open-ended and a matter of understanding. There is no intent truth to the narrative any more than there is any ideal certainty to the events that happen in it. The way that Faulkner uses the multiple narrators serves the purpose of trying to figure out what is the truth of these events that took place throughout the story and this is what makes this novel such a success. Faulkner desires to enchant his audience and grasp their mind.
