What was the defense mechanism shown by Walter Black? Was he out of reality using the puppet? Why or why not? - He was using the puppet as a way of coping up with his depression. He didn’t want to deal with things, so he lets the Beaver take over his life.
Junior believes it has to do with depression, when he says, “I suppose he is depressed” and “I suppose the whole family is depressed” (40). He realizes that when he says, “we all look for ways to make the pain go away” (107). Some people that suffer from depression lock themselves in either the basement or “run away to get drunk” (150), like his sister and father. According to Junior everyone is depressed in the Rez, that is the reason why so many Indians become alcoholics, to flush away their pain. Junior's father “drinks his pain away” (107).
It is a biggest nightmare of their lives. The horrendous health devil of depression is making their mind fatigue and they are unable to overcome or rescue the recession problem. The last dialogue of the cartoon “Sell” tells us that the author highlights the downfall of the stock and business that nobody is ready to buy or sell anything, and all the businesses ended into extensive destruction. Adam Zyglis cartoon is effective in many ways. First the selection of the title clearly tells us that what is the cartoon about and what message is he trying to convey through the selection of his dialogue throughout the cartoon.
Here are a few that stood out. In the book, Scrooge’s pajamas are plain white. In the movie, his pajamas are vertically striped. In the beginning of all three versions Scrooge is a horrible, greedy man, and realizes that he was wrong to have so little compassion. In the movie, when he is visited by the ghost of Christmas Future, he runs away from the ghost and shrinks while running into a drain pipe.
He feels like bug so he "turns into" one. Kafka was a very depressed man, and often wrote of self-hatred it is often shown in his stories. Gregor Samsa is just showing on the outside how he looks and acts with how he feels on the inside. He never really grasps that he is no longer human. On the other hand his family instead complains about how he looks.
Edward Cole and Carter Chambers are both experiencing the hardships of cancer. Carter is extremely flat and resigned to death. He is detached from his family and leads a very dull life. However, Edward is rude, selfish and abrupt as shown in his many statements such as “kiss my ass...” Edward is very demanding and insensitive. The bucket list was created by Carter as a “young mans wishes”.
We clearly see prejudice in the narrator’s character from the starting gate of the story. In the beginning of the story, the narrator says, “In the movies, the blind moved slowly and never laughed. Sometimes they were led by seeing-eye dogs.” Even before the arrival of the blind man, the narrator has a predetermined idea that blinds are depressed and slow people who are incapable of functioning without their seeing canine. The fact that “The narrator” got his stereotype from the movies and believes in them not only shows how puerile and biased he is but also his ignorance. He also shows his prejudice rude comments by asking Robert, “What side of the train did you sit on?” The narrator lives in a protected home and Robert’s coming over to stay the night is an assault on his stereotypical fort.
Eventually they all are removed or asked to leave. Whenever Vern Templeton was at a bar, he was undoubtedly the drunkest person at that bar. And if he got there late, it never took him long to catch and pass the leader of the drunken mass. By these means he usually alienated himself from the crowd with odd chortles and tasteless searing jokes pointed at unpresuming bystanders. Once while playing a dive bar in Roanoke, Virginia, Vern Templeton offended an entire table of 5 in a brief exchange.
Throughout the play he is constantly being referred to as a “toad”, “bloody dog” and a “boar” and this explores his “foul” nature and his lack of humanity. This recurring animal imagery serves to raise the question of whether a person can become so corrupted with evil that they cease to be truly human. This is true in ‘Richard III’ but it changes with the context for ‘Looking for Richard’. Despite the fact that Pacino himself apparently agrees with Shakespeare when he says that Richard “does not have his own humanity, that he’s lost it”, we as an audience, are brought to a place where we feel a very human sympathy towards Richard who is isolated and confused. This is conveyed by the facial expressions of regret which is emphasised by the close up camera on Kevin Spacey’s face.
Carlson The way Steinbeck portrays the character of Carlson makes me believe that Carlson is a fundamentally selfish individual, who is also insensitive. However it has to be considered that he is a victim of the 1930s depression. There are several reasons for this. The chief reason is that Carlson doesn’t consider anyone’s feelings. An example of this is that he thinks Candy’s dog should be shot because it’s old and smelly.
