Set, your brother, is an evil man, who hates you and will do you harm (Osiris and Isis, 205)”. This proves that Isis knows Set is an evil man and she convinces Osiris not to go but he did not listen. Secondly, in the myth it states “Osiris, having no guile or bitterness in his own heart, believed others to be as himself, and with the words of confidence and cheer he tried to cast out the fear that troubled his wife; then, putting on his most splendid robes, he went in all trust and friendship to his brother’s banquet (Osiris and Isis, 205)”. This proves that even after Isis warns him about how Set will do him harm, he still goes. He fails to see the real truth about him.
My senses of sarcasm and wit are definitely nowhere near as insane as those of John Bender, but they are two characteristics that I definitely believe I have in common with him to some extent. Another thing that really attracts me to the character of John Bender is his hidden sense of vulnerability. In the film, it is learned that a lot of his attitude and anger stems from his unstable home life that includes an abusive father. He may pose an attitude toward Principal Vernon, but when it is just the two of them in the scene where Vernon personally threatens him, Bender has a look of slight defeat on his face, and seems almost hurt by the personal attack. I like that he isn’t afraid to show this defenselessness, even if he is alone in a closet.
His children particularly Mayella, have been affected by this lack of empathy, and have developed it as well. After Bob had just saved Scout and Jem's lives, Atticus and Mr. Heck Tate were talking about Mr. Ewell. "He has guts enough to pester a poor coloured woman, he had guts enough to pester Judge Taylor when he thought the house was empty, so do you think he'd met your face in daylight?" (Page 269) - Mr. Heck Tate (on why Bob Ewell went after Scout and Jem). This quote shows how Bob Ewell has no empathy skills whatsoever.
He changes when he learns about Mrs. Dubois and her bad addiction to morphine. One can directed to believe that Jem would be more inclined to read to her to help her to stay clean. He loses his innocence when Mrs. Duboise dies and he never gets to really apologize for his actions. After this loss of innocence, he has another realization that life is unfair and it is not fun and games because of the verdict in the Tom Robinson case. He also realizes the mere fact of why Boo Radley never liked coming out the house which shows his intellectual maturity of realizing that the world is not that great.
He realizes that “they were laughing at me… Now I know what they mean when they say ‘to pull a Charlie Gordon.’ I’m ashamed” (Keyes 43). While in the moment of the epiphany he was unhappy, he was able to grow from it. He could break contact with those who didn’t treat him correctly. He is able to surround himself with the people who truly care about him and his well-being. Charlie realizes how badly his family treated him as well, but instead of making sure there is still distance between them, he decides to find them.
Yes, it came to Al’s realization that he was losing his touch as a comic writer, but he would never fully admit it to himself. Instead of throwing in the towel, AL resorted to stealing the scripts from a deceased young comic named Davey Farber, whom was killed in World War 2. Al’s actions put his and Sammy’s job in jeopardy, even when Sammy was unaware of what he did. Al kept those scripts locked away in a desk drawer and his girlfriend, Connie, would repeatedly ask him why he had kept them. His response was for “a little sentimentality, and for old time’s sake.” His words are deceiving being that he really keeps them for inspiration, and possibly a back-up plan when he can be comical no more.
He is suffering physically only because he is sevually different than others. Not only is he being made fun of by Butch, his fairy godfather also calls him names. On page 5, Vince reminds Melvin not to call him names. “Don’t call me honey! I snapped.” Because Vince keeps letting others hurt him for who he is, he becomes smaller as a person.
The Hally threw away the friendship that had filled the void his father would not be able to fill. That afternoon tested their friendship, to see if it was strong enough. It changed their views about each other; it made them resentful towards each other if not at each other. It appeared that Hally sought to prove a point that he was superior than Sam. The moment he ordered Sam to refer to him as Master Harold, Sam replied to him by telling him about the consequences of his actions.
Hassan has taken the blame for Amir their hole chidhood whilst they shot nuts at the neighbors dog and here he takes the risk of being attacked by Assef in order to get to the fallen kite for Amir. His kindness only emphasises the horror of the scene because it contrasts completely with Amir's inability to step up and protect his friend. Amir only thinks of himself and his want to please his father whilst Hassan thinks only of Amir “for you a thousand times over.” Hosseini doesn't give a detailed description of this scene. Every time it has the potential to become graffic, Amir takes his mind off of the situation. Only about a page and a half reflects the duration and the word ‘rape’ is not used.
James hated this, because Ron is a terrible father, and even thought him and Lauren didn’t act like they liked each other, James loved her, and didn’t want to be apart from her. While in the foster home, James gets mixed up with a group of bad people, who make him go steal beer, but hold the door shut when James tries to run out. James ends up getting caught, and getting in trouble with the law. Sometime later, James just woke up, in a strange place. He had no clue where he was, and how he had got there.
