However, after Frank’s death, the damage that occurred was just irreparable. “None of these precautions on behalf of Frank’s reputation was enough however to restore harmony in the Hayden family”. The damage was so bad, the Hayden family wouldn’t even talk to each other, “but neither my aunt nor my grandparents would speak to us. Even I understood the symbolism: Frank’s death was an unbridgeable gulf between us.” By the end of the Novel, even after the loyalty shown to Frank as a family member, Julian never forgave Wes, causing Wes and his family to eventually leave Montana and never speak of the incident that happened in ‘Montana’ in that horrible summer of ‘1948’ ‘Montana 1948’ shows in many ways just how important both family loyalty and Justice are to the characters in the book. Wes began off as
Could it be that a sad old man who's entire family perished in WWII also be a capable leader? Despite the harsh conditions, including robbers and Nazis, Otto Frank persevered as a leader to the Van Daans, Mr. Dussel, and his own family. For two long years this hero managed to protect and reassure the seven people living with him, even with the constant fear and knowledge that they were all being persecuted for no reason. Mr. Frank was an effective leader because he bonded with the people in the Annex, he stayed calm under pressure and fights, and he was selfless. It is notable that Mr. Frank was an exceptional host because he connected with his guests.

However, do they realize that he was only 17 years old and had a mother back home waiting to be comforted by his next letter home telling her he is alive. He will never feel the warmth of love or the restlessness of being a father. In the novel, Slaughterhouse Five, Kurt Vonnegut gives the world a wake up call, showing to them that there is no glorious victor or side, everyone suffers from the raft of war. Vonnegut uses his characters to express his anti war feelings. Vonnegut cannot express his feelings on the war and the Dresden firebombing directly because he believes “there is nothing intelligent to say about a massacre” (Vonnegut 19).
He was never waving to the people that passed in and out of his life, but crying for help all along. In the first verse both physical and emotional isolation are explored with the imagery of a drowned man. The first line, “Nobody heard him”, introduces the physical isolation of the man as he was so far away no one could hear, but also could mean that no one was listening and understanding him, he was isolated by having no one to turn to. There is a confusion of tenses, “the dead man…lay moaning”, however, the poet is using the dead man as a symbol for her own feelings of loneliness. The man really wanted to be helped; he wanted to be heard, especially in his time or urgent need.
No person can ever surpass his greatness for Beowulf expected nothing in return but fame and reverence, aspects he certainly deserved. Any of whom who come to mourn, know this; Beowulf did not die for nothing, he died protecting his people, that alone is something to respect him for. “Thus Beowulf bore himself with valour; he was formidable in battle yet behaved with honour and took no advantage.” (2177-2179) Beowulf is not just good at fighting – he's also morally good. He doesn't take undue advantage of his enemies or his friends. But that's almost an afterthought; it's much less important to the storyteller than his prowess in
No matter how many of these traits were embodied he always had a clear code of honour (Rambo, Indiana Jones). All of these traits granted their characters strength and capability for whatever Herculean task lay ahead. However this type of masculinity was also laden with restrictions. No Action-man can cry, show fear, pain or be seen to care too deeply. He must always shoulder responsibility and never fail to step up to the mark.
194) His friends would not listen to Colby's argument that, "Going too far was something everybody did sometimes." (Barthelme, 1973, pg. 193) We never do find out what Colby had done, but we do know that whatever it was, it made his friends very angry with him. Since Colby was never arrested for any crime, we can infer that what he did was not a serious crime. This is why Colby's friends' reaction to his actions seems very unusual.
He is free from the diseases of racism and classism so widespread in those days. Atticus does not judge, that’s the biggest difference between him and the rest of the townspeople. He once said ‘ You never really understand a person until you consider things from their point of view, until you climb into his skin and walk around in it'. Atticus is the most nonjudgmental person in all of Maycomb. • As a father Atticus can be said to be a great father.
Meursault’s detached personality is first shown when he showed no emotion at his mother’s funeral and how he did not know his mother’s age: “I [Meursault] hadn’t wanted to see mother, hadn’t cried once and I’d left straight after the funeral without paying my respects at her grave.” (86). Meursault does not meet society’s expectation because he was different from the rest of society. He is expected to cry and show his respects but he does the exact opposite. A normal man would be devastated by the loss of his mother and suffer from sadness and despair; however, Meursault does not even care much about the date she passed away. “Mother died today or yesterday maybe, I don’t know.” (3) Another point is that shortly after the funeral, Meursault is reacquainted with a typist who used to work at the office with him.
