If you are raised with neglectful parents, you wouldn’t have a proper mentor to tell you what’s right and wrong, so that could cause you to do bad things and lose your innocence. Also, if you are raised with abusive and drunk parents, it could cause you to resent and hate them. An example of someone like that would be Johnny; he hates his parents so much that he refused his mother to let her see him in the hospital. “I've got a RIGHT to see him! He's my son!
The problem with Bone is that he is scared of his stepdad. Bone’s stepdad threatens him by saying some nasty words to him like, as he says “all the time he said he’d cut off my d*** if I told” (pg. 196). I think what makes bone leaves his family is that he doesn’t want anyone to know about the times when his stepdad abuses him. He is afraid of what the society would think of him just like when he says “no one’d believe me” (page 296).
o The Simple Gift-summary of individual chapters. Chapter One -Billy feels very negative about the place lives in “My street,My suburb.”he should feel a sense of belonging here because he lives here but the adjectives used to describe the place are very negative as he doesn't feel a sense of belonging to this place “dead -beat” “shithole” “downtrodden” “lonely” “damn place”. All of this indicates the resentment he feels towards to the place he grew up in and the negative experiences of growing up here has been to him. -Its so bad that even the rocks “protest” at having to remain here (pg4)Herrick personifies the rocks to emphasise how negative Billy feels about this “damn place” .The whole street is run-down and unkempt-Herrick shows this through the “broken down truck”, “grass unmown around all the doors”, windows in spencers house broken.The negativity of the place is further emphasises through the description of the weather “The wind howls and the rain sheets in”as he goes to the school.On the train Billy is freezing -the wind and rain hits him “with the force of a fathers punch.”,this provides the reader with insight on the life Billy is leaving behind.
It also had its negative effects on Atticus, when he was called degrading names like ‘nigger lover’ and being treated badly by the townspeople for defending Tom. His children were also persecuted because of his courageous act. Boo Radley was another man in the town who suffered severely due to the demeanour of others who had superstitions and judgements made up about him causing children to harass him just because he didn't want to leave his house and lastly Dolphus Raymond who suffered emotionally just because he lived with a black and had mixed children. The racial and prejudice attitudes of the townspeople in Maycomb is the driving force behind nearly all the negative events that happen in the story which caused emotional and physical pain to many
Faulkner also uses rationalization and diction to make this soliloquy more powerful. Logos and pathos are also used in the passage. Faulkner clearly demonstrates stream of consciousness in this passage because the reader gets a feel for what he is thinking and what he is feeling. He uses stream of consciousness to help fix the limitations that language puts on expressing thought. One example of it is when Cash says, “Sometimes I aint so sho who's got ere a right to say when a man is crazy and when he aint.
Forgiveness is something that must come within a person; if one cannot forgive themselves for their wrong doings it is harder to accept what has been done for and to move on. This being, ‘The Kite Runner’, by Khaled Hussani shows a great amount of forgiveness. The main character in the book named Amir, shows a high emotion of jealousy for his brother Hassan throughout their childhood which leads him into guilt amongst himself. Amir was an insecure child which left him in the regret of witnessing Hassan through bad situations. This resulted in him not being able to defend Hassan through his struggles.
The soliloquy by Hamlet favors more the expression of pathos. The reason for this is because he says everything from his heart because he is seriously considering suicide. He impacts the reader by making them feel bad for him and the situation in which he is in. In the soliloquy pathos is used in a way to make the reader feel a sense of sadness because Hamlet makes it seem as though there is no point to life. He says “For who would bear the whips and scorns of time” which means who would deal with lives problems.
Many times throughout the story, the narrator says that he knows how the old man feels. He claims to know the groans of the old man, and that he too had experienced the same moans—not of pain or sadness but of mortal terror. It is a terror which “arises from the bottom of the soul when overcharged with awe.” I agree with Chua’s statement because I feel as if the narrator is sincere when he says that he knows how it feels to be fearful, but at the same time the narrator is convincing himself that he was in that position once and knows how it feels showing that he lives in a world of his own and is most definitely not mentally stable. Poe gets the reader to feel sorry for the narrator, thus, leading you to be vulnerable just as the old man was. The way that he get’s the audience involved (as an illusion), almost putting them in the old man’s position, is why Poe is unique and inclined above many readers alike.
