Also when the author writes “And he remembered thinking then that if she died, he was certain he wouldn’t cry” (Bradbury 44). This quote means that Montag and
It was like he never did stop thing about her and what he wanted to do to her. Jimmy Cross, for example, feels denied after the war because his hope for happiness in Martha is dashed by her rejection. One day they were talking and she was telling him that you’re not like other guys at first he didn’t know what she was talking about until she gave him a little more information.

“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. To Meursault, his mother’s death was just like any other day.

Thus, Meursault will do things without considering social values. This is why when Meursault was being interrogated by the prosecutor; most people looked down on him.

In Karen Zee’s, “A Secret Sorrow,” the antagonist is Kia, Fayes boyfriend. Faye kept telling him to leave her because she was such a disappointment to society, and being the antagonist he disagreed with her. Even though it took a while for Faye to realize what her freedom was, Kia wouldn’t give up on her. Kia never saw Faye as embarrassing or a disappointment, he saw her as the woman that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with; he was in love. We also see the children from
It is evident that he is not happy being married to Daisy because he has an affair with Myrtle. This is another example of how money does not necessarily buy happiness. It is ironic that Daisy kills Myrtle because although she didn’t mean to kill her she might have been jealous that she is everything that Daisy is not to Tom. Therefore she feels a need to get Myrtle out of the
Because of that, her tongue was cut out so she can´t speak any more. Katniss feels guilty because she has not tried to help this girl, even if she had the chance to do so. In the movie this relationship is never mentioned. The second difference which I want to point out is the reaction from District 11 to Rue´s death. In the book, Katniss only knows that she receives a gift of District 11 because of her kindness, which is dropped into the arena.
Although I had conditions when he gave it to me, I was told not to let my boyfriend at the time to drive it and if I did he would take the truck back.
