This also could be used to describe to describe his view on life seeing that he thought people were “boring” if they were just like everyone else and cared about the little details. The author also uses italics to emphasize words like in this sentence: “I mean if they’re running and they don’t look where they’re going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them”. Just as the Salinger used italics for the same purpose, to show how Holden only cared about the main idea, which in this case was his unrealistic role as the “Catcher in the Rye”. Holden seemed to try to get the point of what he was trying to tell his sister while she kept on correcting him. Another strategy used by the author to effectively
This makes Ray resent the majority of his school associates but out of respect and because he is a well-mannered, nice boy Ray puts these feelings of resentment to one side and doesn't make an issue of them. The reader develops an opinion that Ray is a nice boy by looking at the opinions of the people who speak about him, Susie's mother, Abigail presents Ray Singh as a harmless individual in the short direct speech "that sweet boy?" This portrays that Ray Singh hasn't been anything but nice Susie and her family However when the police "descended on" Ray's house for the second time it is clear what their intentions were, the police were clearly looking for someone to
This is rather noticeable in the conversation at the end of the play with Biff and Willy. Biff tells his father that they are both “a dime a dozen” and that neither of them is “a leader of men.” Biff essentially admits that him and his father are both failures and are worth nothing. Although Biff does believe that someday he may be someone. “When all I want is out there waiting for me the minute I say I know who I am!” Biff knows as long as he does not follow the advice from Willy he may be someone. As Biff understands how destructive his father’s lifetime of denial has been for both of them.
During the course of the novel of ‘Deadly Unna?’ the readers are exposed to the negativity between the father and his son. This affects Blacky in way that his self-esteem is almost non-existent, and the negativity is prominent throughout the novel. Examples of the neglect shown by his father are that of the time when Bob refers to Blacky as a ‘gutless wonder’, and the journey we take through the story of Blacky’s deteriorating respect for him. The ‘gutless wonder’ incident was a influential part of the novel, as Blacky realises that his Dad isn’t one to take advice of someone he feels is inferior than him, thus saying, ‘My own son, a gutless wonder. A gutless fucking wonder!’ When Blacky explains to his father about the storm, Bob insults him rather than swallow his pride and takes his son’s advice on board.
It also reflects his compunction for neglect of his education. Although Holden himself does not have any qualms about ruining his education, others around him, like Frome, express regret that what could have been, will never be. Mr.Antolini sees Holden “dying nobly…for some highly unworthy cause.” (Salinger, page 188) He says
This is very similar to his past school records at other schools, always finding a way to get kicked out. Reading all of this shows how Holden really didn't have much of a smooth start. Chapter Two "Life Is A Game" I would call this chapter "Life Is A Game". I say this because in this chapter Holden has a very notable conversation with one of his teachers Mr. Spencer. In this conversation Holden is at Mr. Spencer's house, and even though Mr. Spencer likes Holden he still failed him.
My question to this was there a problem in Bartleby’s life? The narrator shows how Bartleby starts to just drift away, he starts off being a very excellent working to just not doing anything. He even begins to just stare at the wall. He is just there not wantingto do anything but just be there. My thought on this is that the lawyer is feeling sorry for Bartleby.
Even though he begins to show signs of tension at 180 volts, the experimenter was able to convince Mr. Prozi to continue. In this instance, the teacher was concerned with his own culpability if something were to happen to the learner. “I mean, who’s going to take responsibility if anything happens to that gentleman?” Prozi questioned (697). After several reassurances from the experimenter that all responsibility for the learner’s well-being was on the experimenter, Mr. Prozi reluctantly continued with the shocks. Even after the learner refused to answer the questions or worse, showed no signs of a response to the questions or the shocks, Prozi continued with his orders.
According to the professional ethic we are the model of our students. Mr. Moore did the opposite, he ignored Joyce wend she asked a question and he said “I see there are no question. Class dismissed” with that attitude increased the cruelty, maltreatment and racism between students. The geometry teacher, Mr. Moore demonstrated his racism and poor values as a teacher by don’t let increased the integration in his class. When he heard the insults against Joyce, he only said “let’s get quiet and make the best of it” it is unacceptable heard a teacher said that.
He has nobody to look up to or to get advice from. This disillusionment the narrator experiences comes into play again when he realizes the Brotherhood is only looking out for the interests of themselves and not for the people, whom the narrator fights for. For example, after he finds out the true goal of the Brotherhood, the narrator finally loses the illusion that he can remain a free individual within the Brotherhood. He learns that the condition for membership in the Brotherhood is blind obedience to its ideology. Just as his college hired him to show Mr. Norton only what the college wanted Mr. Norton to see, the Brotherhood has hired him to say only what it wants people to hear.
