What surprised me was that Angela never was able to leave him, before he left her. She could see that Malachy had no future and couldn’t do anything to better himself or his family. Angela waited until he left to try to move on with her life. Another thing that was surprising was Frank’s bluntly put descriptions. When Michael, Frank’s brother had so much congestion in his head, Malachy put his mouth over the baby’s nose and sucked all of the congestion out.
Meanwhile, his son has fallen in love with an outsider and refuses to be joined in marriage to anyone but.

Okeke is a very prideful man and very committed to his tribe and it’s traditions. He is without a doubt sure that he has chosen the perfect wife for his son Nnaemeka.
Experiences such as the loss of close relationships, the horrors of bloodshed and death and the changes in men for the worst can make any once normal man insane, just has it made Robert Ross insane. Throughout the novel we follow Robert Ross as he not only loses those he loves, but also with time, his own very mind. In the novel, The Wars, Robert Ross holds his relationship with his family dearly, but things quickly change for the worse as the war in the battlefront transitions into the war with himself.

The Nazis inhumanity and brutality slowly diminished his hope and desire to live. Despite Elie’s constant battle, it is from the interaction with other characters that he is able to maintain his hope. Elie depends on his father for support, and his love for his father makes him strengthen his hope and desire to live. When they arrived at the camp, his father said that he would rather Elie to go with his mother than to see what they were going to experience as men. The father began to cry and this was the only time that Elie saw his father cry.
Her father had said, “None of the young men were quite good enough for Miss Emily and such.” (364) Her father never allowed her to make her own decisions even when she was almost 30 years old. Many people think that maybe the reason why he was so strict with Miss Emily and why he put so much pressure on her could have traced back to her family. Emily’s family was a very noble family and her father had thought that they were the most prominent in the entire town and that no one else was fit for Miss Emily. Any time a man would come close to being a part of Emily’s life, her father would not allow it and he would chase them all off. Her father had kept her away from any experience with love that she might ever have known.
He also pictures the poor living conditions of his family and their unpaid bills which suggest that there isn’t enough food to eat. (EXPLANATION) This is an effective use of flashback because it shows Jim’s motivations for winning. It gave him the strength and adrenaline he needed to continue to fight because he realized at that moment that winning would be the only way to end his family’s poverty and keep them together (POINT) Another way in which the film us made more dramatic is through the use of irony, using a scene in which Jim’s wife May goes to visit his manager Joe. May is mad because she believes that Joe is wealthy and is using Jim to make more money, at the risk of their family. (PROOF) When she shows up at Joe’s luxury apartment, she thinks he won’t answer his door because he doesn’t want to argue with her.
This meant that he had to be the opposite of what his father was; he couldn’t bare even being a hair alike. By this becoming his purpose Okonkwo lost many qualities, and moments of his life that made him become instead of respected; feared. Okonkwo had the inability to form any sort of relationship with his family, friends, and even including himself. “Okonkwo never showed any emotion openly, unless it is the emotion of anger. To show affection was a sign of weakness; the only thing worth demonstrating was strength” (pg 28).
Because ..... Because I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you, and that’s why.” As the novel comes to an end so does this relationship when it is broken as George shoots Lennie in the back of the head to prevent him from being tortured and captured. At this stage George does fall into loneliness because his best mate, his other half has disappeared from his life at the click of a finger and now George has become like everyone else, a lonely ranch worker. Even though George and Lennie have each other George still feels
Since his father Unoka was not a hard working man and did not live a productive life, Okonkwo had nothing to learn or inherit from him. Instead, he had to work very hard himself to get to the position he was in. He had only one fear and that was “to resemble his father” (17, ch.2). His obsession with success, which is one of his tragic flaws, stops him from seeing what is really going around and from having a better outcome. Many times, tragic flaws cause the tragic heroes to die or face downfall and Okonkwo’s case was not any different.
He never remembers and celebrates our birthday. In fact, he never gives mother a surprise for their marriage anniversary. Also, he is a rigid and strict father for us. He trains us to be discipline
