Despite that deaths like this are commonly caused by freak incidents, he feels that if his attention had been focused on the war at the very moment Lavender died instead of the girl whose love he can never obtain, he could have prevented this loss of life. As a result of his remorse, Cross decides to remove all distractions he possibly can and “[burns] Martha’s letters [followed by] the two photographs” (O’Brien 23) of her. It is Lavender’s unexpected death that helps Lieutenant Cross recognize his responsibility to his men who are counting on him to direct them around the perils of Vietnam. When he is contemplating how to alter his tactics of leadership for the better, he reminds “himself that his obligation [is] not to be loved but to lead]” (O’Brien 26). By doing this, Lieutenant Cross demonstrates that he has the ability to learn from his past mistakes and improve his accountability to lead his men to
His conscience is telling him he shouldn't lie or defy the court and then his death, hanging from the noose, can be a proud one, accepted with honour after making his love and more importantly his peace with God. However his natural instinct, given to him upon his birth is telling him to lie. That he should lose his good name, confess to dealing with witchcraft. Telling him to lose some, perhaps all the respect people have for him but to keep his life. To lose his dignity but to keep his life.

Georgiana is a beautiful woman, whose only flaw is the human feeling of love; in which she loves her husband unconditionally and gives her all to him. Every man she comes in contact with lust over her and believes that she is amazing. She never once contemplated leaving her husband for one of the men that follow her around and treat her likes the true angel she is; in-stead she stays with her unsatisfied husband. He is unsatisfied because Georgiana is not perfect in every single way; for Georgiana has a small birthmark on her right cheek, a crimson hand as if a fairy has placed its hand upon her. Her husband, Aylmer, grows more and more annoyed with her only imperfection as every day passes.
Normally someone’s homecoming is cause for a celebration, but in Dawe’s poem, Homecoming Dawe uses this in an ironic sense. Dawe instills the feeling of loss and sorrow for boys and men who are sent to war, with no idea that they may never come home. In Dawe’s time war was seen by the populous as a brave and noble thing. The use of certain terms and phrases in this poem to instill guilt, “green plastic bags…deep freeze locker” these two statements imply that when the soldiers that are killed, they are treated like meat, they have served their purpose and now they are being packaged up, so they do not make a greater mess or cause discomfort to others. There is a repetition of the word, “they’re” tends to make this poem impersonal, like someone else is doing all these things to the men and it isn’t anyone’s fault.
All in the family: The main character Archie Bunker had a natural dislike to anyone that was not white or did not think the same as he. His wife, Edith was the typical and ideal 1950’s wife, always catering to her husband’s demands regardless of how sexist they were. I think Archie Bunker made people realize how truly stupid racism and stereotyping is, along with opening up a dialogue that had never been addressed on television. The program introduced social realism along with controversy, blunt language to the sitcom at the same time as preserving the gene’s heart of the domestic family. During one episode Sammie Davis JR plays himself.
Angela realized that Nev knew all of her dwell and she was just embarrassed. Nev was more inclination and sympathetic than I likely someone in that opinion would be. This tantrum played out very well and also semiconductor diode into the “talk” while Angela was drawing Nev. She admitted having product Facebook personalities, she recreated Megan’s vocalize, and she herself was the creator, no Abby. Angela somewhat blamed the whole situation on the idea that she was trying to recreate her life story history and go through it the way she dreamed all along. She was drawn to Nev’s photographs of professional dancer because she precious to be a dancer.
Harrison gives us some form of backstory for each of the characters except for the narrator. This is a very deliberate technique used to try and emotionally attach us to these characters before they are abruptly removed from the story as if they never existed. “Better out of it.” Harrison gets the reader to believe that if a soldier is killed in battle or dies from a disease that they are better off than if they were still alive, but by still applying a backstory albeit small to the characters who die we are made to feel like the narrator as he sees all his comrades fall one by one around
She had always had complications with that immense heart of hers, it was her Achilles heel. The one thing which chained her from ascending to the perfect woman, the one trade off which god decided he needed to bestow upon her so she would not take the role of a demi-god. However I know now that she is the most eloquent and beautiful angel heaven has ever seen and they will treasure her in ways I never could. This is the only fact which has kept me sane through this abysmal time. Everyone will now be able to pay their individual respects to Mrs. Mallard, and once again thank you for
